We have stayed at the hotel three times and all three times it has been great! It’s a beautiful property, it is very clean, and the staff is very helpful and friendly. It also has a very nice restaurant on site.

Recently updated hotel. Well decorated, clean, and a chic restaurant, though the restaurant hours are quite limited. Kind of a weird location overlooking the highway but we didn’t hear road noise and it’s walkable to town. Would stay here again.

We have a child going to Bowdoin College and whenever we visit we stay at The Federal. It is a wonderful hotel with great staff. The location is great for walking downtown. There is a bike trail that start very close to the hotel. The college is a little over a mile away!

The 555 North Restaurant was spectacular. The hotel and 555 were 5 star. Can't wait to stay again on my monthly business trips to the area.

The Federal was so clean & welcoming. Of course, the Christmas decorations added to the overall appeal. Bed was comfortable; staff was accommodating & friendly; the parking & grounds were well lighted. Thanks to everyone who made our stay the best it could be!

Exceeded expectations!
Beautiful hotel tastefully merging history and present times in decor. Staff at front desk were so hospitable and kind. The history of the home is fascinating. The rooms are perfectly fresh, simple and clean, with historic accents. Bathtub and shower were clean and adequate with a strong shower head; housekeeping staff were friendly and helpful. We found the bed made our backs sore but that’s due to our older bones … the mattress was quite firm and linens crisp with a down comforter. Maybe get an extra blanket if you like a little weight to your covers. Noise level ok - could hear talking in the hallway early morning but not terribly loud. There is coffee in the hallway in the mornings for a couple hours. We were recommended to try 555 Restaurant for dinner - our meals were fantastic. I tried the yoga room and appreciated the private space (but noted the staff room is right next door so there are frequent flushing and water pipe noises). We were very pleased with everything about the stay.

This hotel was such a pleasant surprise. It was impecably renovated. The suites looks like an upscale house. Good and thoughtful amenities. A nice restaurant with a huge cozy fireplace in the middle for drinks and gatherings. I have stayed in a lot of nice hotels for business and for leisure, and I am really impressed with the quality of this hotel. Who knew in the middle of Maine, there is such an elegant and cute hotel? Would definitely stay here again if I am around the area.
