Shiretown Hotel is the place to stay in Houlton,ME

I've stayed here 4 times in the last month and half. They are very consistent. Hospitality is welcoming, service is great, rooms are clean, and quiet. Just the way I like it.

I got 2 room. Online it said check in before midnight. We had a 3 hour drive and it was going to be close to that so i called to let the front desk know and the man said thats fine as long as you are here before 3 am. That was nice. We was in the area for a mud run in hodgdon. The one running it said he had contacted your hotel to see if you could sponsor them and possibly give a little discount for staying there for their events. I think that would be a good idea. I believe you would get more people staying there if you did it.

Rudest Desk Clerk EVER

Check-in was a nightmare. We arrived early and I went into the office to see how early we could check in. As I walked in, the older woman behind the desk was telling a caller on her phone not to book online and she would call her back. As she gave me her attention, she asked my name, and when I told her my name and she looked on her computer, I started to ask about options for early check in, she told me check-in was 2pm. Then she asked, “You reserved online?” I told her we had and she said, “2 o’clock it is then.” I didn’t even have the opportunity to explain that we had a child with a disability and no power at our home due to a storm and needed a place to rest. I have never encountered such rudeness before. Different person at the desk when we were able to check in—my husband said he was very pleasant.

The property is across from iHop, which was convenient, with Pizza Hut, McDonalds and other restaurants nearby. The office staff were very polite and friendly. The room was large. I would definitely stay there again.
