“Good value”

Reviewed 11 May 2013 NEW

First time at the Inn. Nice place, very clean, nice buffet breakfast. Shower water temp kept changing while taking shower, so had to be careful about that. Riverside rooms provide a nice view of the river and Orono village. 1 minute drive or 10 minute walk to UMaine Visitors Center. 5 minute walk across the bridge to Orono Village.

“Good Experience!”

Reviewed 22 April 2013

This hotel does upgrades and renovations every few months it seems like! It has a nice feel to it, reasonable rates, and friendly staff. Probably the best breakfast spread I have ever seen at a hotel too.

“University Inn is a pleasant stay”

Reviewed 20 April 2013

We have stayed at the University Inn on 2 occasions over the past six months. It is pleasant and clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Our last visit saw the delivery of microwave ovens, refrigerators and coffee pots ready to be installed in every room. Looking forward to our next visit:)

Thank you very much for taking the time to provide feedback. We are thrilled with the addition of the fridges, microwaves, and Keurig coffee makers. If you haven't signed up already, be sure to ask about our frequent guest program. Hope to see you next time you visit Orono. ~Tracey More

“Great service”

Reviewed 7 April 2013

Enjoyed our stay here. Yes, room is slightly dated and hotel is smallish, but the desk clerks are extremely helpful and kind. The maids were nice and we liked the breakfast room in the basement. You can watch the news on a big screen and the scrambled eggs were nice. My son liked the waffles which were offered with strawberries... More

“It's fine”

Reviewed 5 April 2013

This hotel is ok if a little dated in places. It is clean and convenient with regards to university of Maine. My main problem was breakfast. There was lots of little fruit flies on the bagels, not v tastey sausages or eggs which were not v appealing. Skip breakfast altogether. Otherwise fine, big rooms

Thank you very much for your feedback. We take great pride in our breakfast so we will address your comments internally. Fruit flies are nasty pests that we take seriously and that problem has already been addressed. We use only real eggs and brand name quality bacon and sausage. If we knew the date of your stay, we could follow... More

We came up to the hotel to check out the University of Maine with our daughter and her friend who are both admitted students for 2013. We asked for and received adjoining rooms and they were both quite comfortable. One room had a king bed and the other had a double bed, sleeper sofa and a complete kitchenette. The girls... More

“Wonderful help from Inn staff”

Reviewed 24 March 2013

We are very grateful to the Inn staff for accommodating our airline delay and also for cleaning off the 13-inch snowfall from our rental car and digging it out without even being asked! Lovely views of the river. We are looking forward to coming back.

We were so glad we were able to help during that huge storm. Thank you so much for the feedback. As always, if there is anything you ever need from us, just let us know. More
