Being a traveling salesperson, I've stayed in a lot of hotels, but this place is by far the…read moreabsolute WORST! Be aware that there is no on-site manager here and good luck trying to reach anyone on the phone if you have an issue. The owners, who live downstate somewhere, believe that managing 5 or 6 of their northern Maine hotels from afar is a great idea ... It's NOT! Their solution to not having an on-site manager is to have the cleaning person lodge the key-card into the (outside) doorframe, so when you arrive, you just let yourself in w/out any contact w/management whatsoever. Imagine showing up without knowing if anyone who doesn't belong has been in and out of your room, and is possibly STILL IN THERE WHEN YOU ARRIVE! This is so unsafe and a real problem waiting to happen. No on-site management means no enforcement of quiet hours, non-smoking areas, and no immediate help if it's needed. There is no active police force in this town, so you're essentially on your own if something very bad happens. The last time I stayed at Aroostook Hospitality Inn, the upstairs guests had a 3-room party. They just left all three doors open, cranked up the music and ran back and forth with each other between the three rooms. Unfortunately, my room was located underneath one of those rooms. There were also a lot of vehicles and foot traffic in and out of the parking lot all night. No manager available to eliminate this problem. FYI to the owner of this place ... the cleaner isn't cleaning! I have arrived here to find bars of soap in the shower, full trashcans, hair in the shower, moldy shower curtain, hair and toothpaste in the sink and on the bathroom counter, empty toilet paper rolls, no coffee pot as requested during reservation. It's impossible to find the housekeeper, so a trip to the Dollar Store was necessary. The single bathroom outlet wasn't working the last time I was there. That's just the inside ... the outside of this place generally unkept. The lot is littered with cigarette butts and bits of trash/paper - and there was a syringe on the ground next to my car in the morning! It's a real bummer this is the only place in Van Buren, Maine to lay your head. If anyone decides to make a new hotel or motel in town - they'll get very rich! Maybe part of the solution for this place is for the owners to spend more than one night here to get a real idea of what their guests experience.

Where do I begin?! Amazing place. 5 stars is simply not enough. Stay here; it will be the nicest…read moreplace you ever stayed. (That's my short version.) While I was in Maine, I wanted to travel to the northern portion along the Canadian border. Hotels are few and far between where I was looking to go, so I found this Inn on TA (all excellent reviews). The price was AMAZING (only $85.23 for Oct. 11, 2013), so I made my reservation. When I arrived, I was in love. It is a beautiful, 100-year-old home that is filled with so much charm and warmth. It had these gorgeous hardwood floors and was decorated with cool antiques like old phonographs and, of course, old irons. You look around at all these beautiful things as if you were in a museum. The house is very welcoming - like your own home would be, only better! The Innkeepers, Kate and Kevin, are exactly what you would expect of people who live in Maine; they were nice, and friendly, and beautiful, and were very interesting to talk to. When I was led upstairs to my room, I could not believe my eyes (right away, I realized I had made a mistake in only staying for one night). I wanted to live there forever. My room had a big, queen bed, and there was a twin bed on the other side of the room. There was a private bathroom (all the rooms have private bathrooms for spoiled Americans such as myself). The bathroom was very spacious with wonderful, fluffy towels and a nice shower (no tub, just shower).The room was beautifully decorated with more antiques. I loved everything from the furniture, to the glass doorknobs to the windows! When I crawled into that bed at night, I could have sworn that those delicious sheets had been ironed; I have never experienced such comfortable bedding! My room and bathroom were immaculately clean, as was the rest of the Inn. On the second floor (where all the rooms were) there was a little sitting area with a frig and books and other things you might find yourself needing. It's a nice little area to just go in and curl up with a book. The next morning I woke up to the aroma of the most amazing breakfast. There were other guests there too, and everybody sat at a big table and talked and enjoyed this marvelous breakfast that had been prepared for us by Kate. She uses real china, and real coffee cups! There were muffins, any kind of cereal, wonderful scrambled eggs, toast with jam, coffee, a big variety of teas, etc. - you definitely do not come away hungry. It was such a lovely experience. I live in a very fast-paced city where it is hard to find nice people There's too much traffic, too many people, too much trash, too much of everything. When I visit a town like Caribou and meet people from other walks of life, I am enchanted. Visiting this wonderful town, and staying in this Inn makes me want to move to Caribou and live like they do; it made me see life from a different perspective. Unfortunately, my time was up and I had to leave. If I ever find myself in the northern-most area of Maine again, I will most definitely stay here again; but, next time, I will stay much longer - if they will have me. I loved the innkeepers and their beautiful, warm home. Can you tell I loved it?! p.s. There is good free wi-fi and plenty of free parking. No TVs in the rooms, but you won't want one.

I stayed at three different Best Western's during my recent travels to the east coast of Canada…read more Out of the three, this one was my least favorite... We only stayed here for one night, on our way home from Nova Scotia and decided to stay at this Best western then the one in Edmundston. They are fairly close to each other and i would have much preferred to have gone back to Edmundston.. The room was your standard hotel room, the bed seemed to be comfortable. The sink in the bathroom did not drain! Eventually slowly it would empty but if you were not careful, you would have an overflow. The breakfast was also disappointing, very disappointing especially having such a nice one at the Best Western Plus in Bridgewater Nova Scotia. If I happen to be traveling again, I will stay in Edmundston.

Crunchy, dry, and unpleasant to eat. The pulled pork "nachos" are labeled as potatoes, but the regular nachos are not indicated as such. Logic would dictate that you are getting..... nachos. What's wrong with tortilla chips and whose genius idea was it to get rid of them entirely for crunchy potatoes? How hard is it to have a bag of nachos available? No gluten free menu and no accommodations or recommendations for those who eat gluten free. Everything fried in the same fryer. Portion sizes on the burger were small. Perhaps 1/3 lb burger and a small amount of fries for $18. Fries were undercooked and soggy. Pass on this place unless you want a lot of surprises. Nachos definition: " noun a dish of tortilla chips topped with melted cheese and often also other savory toppings."
