This is my second review of Fireside Inns...I visited and stayed with them 3 years ago. Our room was very nice, we were able to adequately control the temperature to suite our desires. We LOVED that they had Keurig coffee machines, we brought our own coffee that we love, but they had Green Mountain coffee that was a joy too!... More

I stayed one night on a business trip. The hotel appears somewhat dated, and is adjacent to a Governor's Restaurant, a classic Maine diner and bakery. Despite the outward appearance, my rom was up-to-date with modern amenities and very comfortable. I arrived at 8:30 pm, and was greeted by a very friendly and efficient evening manager. Check-in was prompt, I... More

We were in town for a concert. Quick check in with very helpful staff. The room was very clean and comfortable. The bed was perfect and the pillows were so great we wanted to take them home. It was nice and quiet and had a great continental breakfast. Will definitely stay again!

We travel to Waterville a few times a year to visit family. Previously we stayed across the street at the Best Western, but found that the Fireside was quite a bit cheaper so we gave it a shot. Very impressed. Rooms were cleaner and more comfortable than at the Best Western and service was incredible. Fresh baked cookies when we... More
