If you need to be in downtown Orono, this is a good value for money motel. Very friendly desk clerk who happily checked internet weather forecast and Orono's 4th of July plans. Fine room with 2 double beds and all new bathroom. Ask for a room with a view over the river. Handy breakfast room downstairs with bagels, pastries, basic... more

You have to pass the hotel to get to the campus. It's less than a mile away from UMaine and within walking distance to an authentic Mexican restaurant. It's perfect for visiting a child attending UMaine! The hotel is clean and neat. One suggestion, it would be nice if guests could get a cup of tea or coffee in at... more

Thank you very much for the feedback. We often offer coffee & tea in the evening down in the lounge but find that most times, it goes unused. We are happy to provide this whenever a guest requests it. Since your comment, we will work on finding an appropriate place in the front lobby.

Have graduated 2 sons and have a daughter at U maine. Have stayed in many hotels in the Bangor/Orono area over the last 9 years. Second floor riverside has balconies and best view all 4 seasons. Can't find a more convenient location. Seems everytime we stay something has been updated or upgraded. Latest are refurbished bathrooms that are more luxury... more

This is a great little place, very clean, very comfortable, perfect for business or pleasure. I enjoyed the breakfast - which included cereal, oatmeal, 3 juice selections and bagels and enlish muffins. I used the workout room which had just what I needed to unwind with after day long meetings. The location is a walk away from a great little... more

We’ve been staying at the University Inn for 33 years and it’s a pleasure to see all the wonderful new upgrades. On the last visit, the bathroom s had been outfitted with top of the line fixtures. The staff is always pleasant and helpful and the complimentary continental breakfast makes it easy to get on the road early. We love... more

My daughter and I needed a place to stay for a few nights in Orono and chose the University Inn Academic Suites because it was close to where we needed to go. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The room was clean, comfortable and I love the baseboard heaters. No noisy window units. The desk clerk apologized because the... more

I have just returned from visiting my son who is a freshman at the University of Maine, Orono. As an "out of state" parent, I had no idea as to where to stay and selected the Univeristy Inn from the list of options, based solely on its proximity to the Uof Maine campus, so I could walk to campus and... more

The rooms were okay except for a terrible urine smell that we couldn't get rid of, and the stains on the towels. Other than that, it was passable - fairly comfortable beds, spacious, very old but functional bathroom. The free breakfast and wireless is nice, though we had problems with the wireless in certain parts of the room. more

Tracey Whitten, Owner

After reading this review, I inspected the room and found that there was in fact a bad smell coming from the bathroom floor. As of February 2009, we have completely remodeled all of our bathrooms including sinks, toilets, showers, floors, walls and trim. We are very pleased with this improvement and ackowledge how bad the bathrooms were prior to this...

We stayed 3 nights over Labor Day weekend. The property is attracive, if dated. Beautiful pool, nice view of river. The free continental breakfast saved us $$ every morning. We walked into town every day, which was very enjoyable. The staff were friendly & always helpful. We definately would stay there again. more
