The Federal is definitely a hidden gem. The room and the common spaces are quintessential Maine. My king premier room was complete with a fireplace. The decor was a piece out of Maine history but also stylish enough to be modern.

Property was clean, room was comfortable. The only downside we had was the shower is pretty small. The staff we all very pleasant. We had a very late check in do to our flight and when we arrived the front desk already had our paperwork together which made things easier and faster. Overall we plan to stay again

It was a joy to stay in a "non-big box" hotel: the room was cozy, the bed was comfortable, the whole space was beautiful, and the whole vibe was wonderful. Delicious coffee was available in the hallway on each floor starting at 6 am--even better! We hope to stay here again!
