Holiday Inn Express & Suites Waterville - North by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Had a lovely stay here as a base for Acadia. While it was further out, we wanted a country road trip so we got that (about 2.5 hours each way). The staff was wonderful checking in and out as well as at the breakfast. We enjoyed French toast, turkey sausages, and cinnamon buns (but they also had cereal, yoghurt, eggs, and more). Loved that the fitness center was open 24 hours. Didn’t use the pool but it seemed clean and enjoyable for the folks in there. Ample parking, room was clean and spacious for our needs. Plenty of outlets. Nice bathroom with huge countertop. Ambient lighting around the TV and wardrobe which was a nice touch. Adjustable climate through powerful ac unit kept us comfortable. There is a convenient shopping centre right next door and it was about a 5 minute drive to the town centre where there were more shops and restaurants. We would gladly stay here again and for longer so we can explore more. Thanks for the wonderful stay!"
