We are a mature couple who stayed in the spacious Maria Suite for a few days while visiting family in the area. We appreciated the opportunity to stay in a historical and architecturally interesting house like the Munroe. We were the only guests during most of our stay, so it was quiet and we had the house to ourselves. The bed was very comfortable and we had no problems during our stay. The nearby grocery store was a plus.
I stayed here last minute when my other hotel reservation didn't work out. Very glad I did as it redeemed an otherwise miserable trip. The hostess was very helpful and the room was a destination in its own right. Cheerful, clean, brightly lit both with the windows in the day time and the lamps at night. Several seating options to choose from in my space allowed me flexibility as i got work done and relaxed. Recommend highly! Quiet, peaceful, restful. Met my needs and more!
My daughter and I visited Bates College (Lewiston) and stayed at the Munroe Inn (Auburn - twin city). Because we were visiting after Columbus Day, we had the place to ourselves - it was incredibly peaceful. We stayed in the Maria Suite which is quite a large room. The bed was very comfortable, the room and bathroom quite spacious, the decor eclectic. There was a parking space next to the inn. A grocery store is within walking distance. Bates is about a 8-10 minute drive away.
Best of all was Olga's fantastic breakfast. We had delicious greek yogurt and homemade jam, a homemade pastry, eggs scrambled with bok choy and fresh tomatoes (as Olga said, Asian style), fresh apple cider with ginger, and French-pressed coffee.
Olga also kindly washed my jeans and shirt (I had spilled Thai sauce on them the night before.) I was very grateful for her extra help.
My original plan was to stay one night at the Inn and then the second night in Portland to catch a 6AM flight, but the Portland hotel options were not appealing in comparison to the tranquility of the Munroe Inn. We opted to stay a second night and leave early from the Inn. (Note - best to leave by 4AM to catch a 6AM flight in Portland.)
If my daughter ends up going to Bates, I'm sure the Munroe Inn will be our go-to when visiting her. Thank you Olga for such a pleasant stay!
Olga is a great hostess! The house is beautiful! Quiet neighborhood. Felt very safe. The room was spacious and inviting. Bed was comfy. Olga cooked shakshouka for breakfast! Breakfast included homemade juice, bread and jam. Thank you for a great stay!
Enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. Olga was a great host. Breakfast was exceptional. Beautiful vintage decor in a very spacious inn. Cannot recommend highly enough. Quiet neighborhood with restaurants and grocery store very nearby.
