The hotel was great. It would be better if breakfast was served automatically, without having to order the night before.

We like to stay here when in Brunswick. This room had a bathroom air vent in the ceiling that looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in years. It’s not hard to wipe it down or vacuum it.

Our room was lovely. The idea of the "to go" breakfast was great, especially if it keeps the cost of "room service" down. We didn't mind having to go to the front desk to pick it up, but my husband's "Danish" was tiny. The hotel's location makes it quiet and convenient to downtown Brunswick. All in all, we enjoyed our weekend!

Staff friendly and at the restaurant. Love the bathroom products and quality of bed linens. I am usually there once a month on my own or with my husband. Perfect location for us.

The Federal is ideal

Catching up with friends in Brunswick and wanted comfort, access to 555 Restaurant and downtown (walking distance), and dog friendly. The Federal is the perfect spot for it all. Walk down Water Street to trail and dog park. Ideal.

Not sure about acrepeat

Pillows were insufficient (too flat). Fire alarm went off 5 times without warning. And the breakfast order was unsatisfying.

The Federal is a very nice boutique hotel in Brunswick. The staff was friendly and the facilities were well maintained and beautifully decorated for the Christmas season. I'm already looking forward to our next stay there.
