I have just returned from visiting my son who is a freshman at the University of Maine, Orono. As an "out of state" parent, I had no idea as to where to stay and selected the Univeristy Inn from the list of options, based solely on its proximity to the Uof Maine campus, so I could walk to campus and... more

The rooms were okay except for a terrible urine smell that we couldn't get rid of, and the stains on the towels. Other than that, it was passable - fairly comfortable beds, spacious, very old but functional bathroom. The free breakfast and wireless is nice, though we had problems with the wireless in certain parts of the room. more

We stayed 3 nights over Labor Day weekend. The property is attracive, if dated. Beautiful pool, nice view of river. The free continental breakfast saved us $$ every morning. We walked into town every day, which was very enjoyable. The staff were friendly & always helpful. We definately would stay there again. more

We have just returned from a week stay in Orono, Maine. My husband was doing business at The University, so my children and I stay in the hotel. It was awesome. The rooms were clean, no smells (like other hotels we've stayed at), friendly staff on all shifts and family owned. Everyone was so accomodating from the housecleaning staff all... more

Rate was higher than advertised and they refused to take the AAA discount. hotel is old and room is a reflection of this. Stains on the ceiling tiles. The biggest problem was that the maids began cleaning rooms next to ours very early in the morning and having very loud conversations over the vacuum which woke us all up. Convenient... more

This is the second time I've stayed here, and God willing it will be the last. This place continues to go down hill. When I checked in to two joining rooms I was told that my son and I would have to share a key to his room, because they didn't have one to the other door. No one told... more

I stayed at the University Inn last October 2005. The rooms are outdated and need a makeover. First, they charged my credit card immediately upon check in. The bed was extremely uncomfortable and lumpy, the TV remote did not work and the TV itself was very small and old, and the sink was clogged. Despite repeated requests to the front... more

My family and I just returned from a 4 day shopping expedition in Maine. We stayed at the University Inn Academic Studies In Orono. We really enjoyed our stay. The staff was friendly and accomodating and the rooms were definitely not new but well kept and very clean. The outdoor pool and surrounding area was very scenic (next to a... more

My wife and I spent one night at the University Inn for a mini-conference at UMaine. The location of this Inn can't be beat, practically walking distance to the campus. It is a rather long distance to the Alfond Arena or the student union building, but some buildings are walking distance. Also walking distance are the shops, restaurants (especially Pat's... more

While visiting my daughter at UMaine, the University Inn is a close by and comfortable option. It is affordable, friendly, and best of all, clean! The staff makes you feel at home. A family run small business, I am happy to return to the University Inn every time I make a trip to Orono. When the whole family visits my... more
