I was there for business, and it was perfectly fine for the weekend. I seriously think that benoitleblanc is just a little spoiled baby who was probably late for his nap and bottle. He has probably never traveled out of the US and experienced a true wait for check in. Try Europe where you pay five times as much for... More

Had eye surgery in April of this year and emailed the hotel and asked if they gave a discount for people having surgery and if they could accomodate me since I also walk with a cane due to foot surgery.

Stayed here for a weekend event at Colby. The building is from the 1960's but has been well maintained. The rooms are good sized and the bathrooms are small but recently renovated. The bedding and abundant pillows were good quality. The staff was very helpful and the free breakfast was adequate. For $99 for 2 queens , it was a... More

With you being a Senior Contributor with 14 cities reviewed, I was complemented by your comment that the Fireside Inn & Suites is a "solid value". We can give a little more for a little less because we don't have to pay franchise fees. This money can be put back into the property to add amenities while keeping the rate... More

After seeing your post , I was happy to reach you in your room before you left. I wanted to explain to our readers what I said to you: that our airconditioners are on a separate thermostat from our heat, but that both the airconditioning and heat are available all year. I am sorry about the confusion. We want our... More

We were in Waterville for business and chose this place because of other favorable reviews. We were very pleased with the large, clean room. Two comfy chairs! The buildings are older but care has been taken to update rooms. All the staff were friendly and so helpful. Shopping moments away and an on-site restaurant are also a plus. We will... More

I stayed at the Fireside Inn for one night and couldn't have been more pleased. The front desk staff was friendly, check in was easy, and they gave us whoopie pies as a personal welcome (nice touch).

We stay at the hotel whenever we visit our son at Colby College. The hotel is less than a mile from the College, so I highly recommend it for parents. It is not a luxury hotel, a bit run down, but very clean, the staff is phenomal and it is attached to Governors Restaurant--diner type food but convenience can't be... More

Room was extremely clean and quite comfortable. The people at the desk are helpful and very welcoming. There is some early morning traffic noise from the proximity to the highway but the property itself was quite quiet. A generous continental breakfast is included as well. I will stay here again when in Waterville. More

This hotel has the most warm and friendly lobby that really makes you feel at home. There is a restaurant connected to the establishment which makes dining so effortless. But if you aren't interested in the on-site dining facility, the hotel is conveniently close to many restaurants as well as shopping, a movie theater, a grocery store, etc. Many of... More
