Needs lots of updating. Non-smoking room smelled like a smoking room. Just bearable enough to rest ones head for the night after a 10 hour drive. Looked like room could have used a vacuum once over. Great location near border and convenience like a Tim Horton and Walmart close by

Unfortunate event (funeral) brought my family to town- a 600 mile car ride......booked a block of 5 rooms in the same hallway (around 123-137). Despite mixed reviews, our stay was comfortable- rooms were clean. Continental breakfast convenient for us...but also Tim Horton's and Walmart too. Wish we could have enjoyed more of the amenities.

Stayed here on my way home to Canada on a stormy night. Very friendly service and clean room. Maybes bit noisy from gas station across the street but was too tired to hear the noise. Would stay here again.

Not much in Houlton but this place was very decent, clean but dated. The staff were nice and accomodating. The Lounge was loacted at the indoor pool which is heated so it was a bit warm but then again it was snowing out.

I recently stayed at the Shiretown while visiting for my niece's high school graduation. The room was immaculate. Free wifi, cable tv, great indoor pool and pub. I would definitely stay here again. Very convenient location. Diner across the street and Walmart next door. I must stay that I did stay in the new building.

This was my second stay here, both times in the new section - a big double. It was very, very clean! The mattress was comfortable and the pillows were very fluffy for synthetic pillows. The bathroom was sparkling, the towels were thick, and the hairdryer had lots of power. Plenty of hot water, and excellent water pressure. It would be... More

I followed the advice of a worker in a local store, feeling exhausted after a very long drive. I was told there had been a fire and most of the room had been redone and were wonderful. I must have been put in the original section because my room was very care-worn. This is the first place I've stayed that... More

Well, i stayed here on business, it was great, clean,quiet, but the cleaning ladies woke me up on both occasions. The bar was a 1970 FLASHBACK! I think i even saw a Disco Ball! Maine is Maine...its not changing ,its the Mainland Alaska. The Staff were very friendly, and its hard not to smile! Great food across the street!
