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.

It is hard to rate this hotel bc it is under significant renovations under new ownership and many…read morerooms and amenities were not yet available, but I think it will be beautiful inside. Most people will want to wait for more of the renovations to be complete. The owner (or one of) met us outside and was very friendly and accommodating, clearly excited about the changes underway. White marble tile had been installed in the lobby, grey granite was ready to be installed at the front desk, and they were actively carpeting the first floor bedrooms. We were given what will be the honeymoon suite on the second floor, which had new carpeting throughout. We were the first to enjoy the brand new bed and tv, which they hooked up for us. There was a large new jacuzzi that had been plumbed and boxed in, but not yet tiled so it was unavailable. There was a new shower curtain in the bath and fresh paint on the walls, with obvious intention of doing further updates. The furniture was older but still in good shape, so not sure the plan there. Our needs were very simple, so it was fine for us, and we were far enough away from the construction that we could hear nothing. We will go back again our next trip, after renovations are complete.

The staff is friendly and welcoming but there are so many things that I don't think are even up to Quality Inn standards. The breakfast during my two weeks there was nothing more than the dried eggs pictured and a dirty unkept waffle maker. The one day they had cheese omelettes (egg rounds), they were still frozen.

I was here four nights for work, which meant I had a lot of stuff, a large suitcase, a cooler, and…read moreall of my work equipment. There is no elevator, which meant I had to lug everything up the stairs myself. The stairs and the hallway were filthy, I should've turned around right then and there. I entered my room, also dirty, there were crumbs and one whole cracker on the floor by the bed, and the toilet was dirty. There were two remotes in the room, neither one worked, so the TV was inoperable. There were no washcloths, when I asked for some, I did not get them. The refrigerator was off, and smelled like mildew. On my second day, I glanced out the window opened the window for some fresh air, and because there is a smoking area right outside, my room immediately filled with cigarette smoke. I tried to use the fitness center, and the pictures will show evidence as to why that was not an option. I asked to speak to a manager, and was told by the desk attendant that they didn't know who the manager was or when they would be in. It was loud, walls are thin, and I felt unsafe. I would highly recommend other accommodations.

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.

Our waitress was very friendly, however the nachos were disgusting. Nowhere is it indicated that…read morethe nachos are, in fact, not nachos. They are deep fried potato slices with toppings. 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."

To properly understand my rating of the Caribou Inn & Convention Center you have to understand…read moreCaribou. From WWII to 1992 Caribou was a thriving community neighboring Loring Air Force Base. The base was home to a large contingent of B-52 bombers and their supporting units. Literally, almost 12,000 Airman and their families called Caribou home. The economy was robust, the outlook optimistic, with a pride in their Air Force Base and jobs abundant. It was one of Reader's Digest best little cities in the US. In 1992, it all changed with the order to close Loring Air Force Base. In no time all but one car dealership closed, houses deserted & foreclosed, and a loss of a significant piece of the population. Most businesses failed. Somehow CICC froze in time and made it through. With that in mind CICC is a spotless friendly hotel. It boasts a large pool and hot tub. The restaurant is among the best in town and offers a breakfast sandwich or oatmeal for free or $3.00 off any breakfast item. The breakfast items are hot fresh and delicious. The rooms are large with king size beds-albeit the beds are on the hard side. There is a small fridge and a smaller new flat screen TV. Sadly, there is no Microwave. Our non-smoking room backed up to the indoor dome area with the pool-with the HVAC drawing air from the dome area. We could always smell the chlorine, though it was not overwhelming. I do recommend a room backing up to the outside. The room was very quiet. Also, the AC unit ran 24 hours a day. The auto function did not work or was disabled. Our stay was nice and the best that can be expected in Caribou. There are multiple conference rooms available and a large area next to the pool which must be for weddings. One weird thing is music is piped into the pool area 24 hours a day. Mostly early eighties genre with one hit wonders. There is a first rate gymnasium free to all. Anyhow, we love the people and like the hotel. It is the only decent game in town. Also, if you like the 1992 motif this is the place for you. 3-Stars and worth the stay.
