Love Hotels St John River by OYO at Fort Kent ME

We went for ATV riding, the trail crosses their driveway.

It’s pretty run down looking, water had a strong sulfur smell, but you can see they are renovating.

There was no bar/restaurant or other services as advertised. The space was there, but was not in any condition for use. Owners were playing video games in the room. Room was adequate, but not fully furnished. It was clearly designed for a table and chairs that weren't there. Bathroom needed finishing touches. Room was clean, bed was comfy. TV was there, but you have to log into your own streaming service through a roku. The owners were very nice, but they seemed new to it, so maybe in a few years and they'll get it figured out. But for now- overpriced for what you get

We picked this hotel because it is of few lodgings in the upper St John beyond Ft Kent. Location on the river was meaningful to us because our family had settled on this site int he 1800s. Room itself was adequate and bed comfortable. Receptionist was pleasant but was difficult to get hold of when we arrived--the place looked deserted. Bar, dining room, and meeting room area were spacious and well laid out but appeared long abandoned.

Poor maintenance to the point of making the stay unpleasant. Holes in window screen required keeping the window closed to keep bugs out which, with the lack of air conditioning led to a hot night, saved only by the ceiling fan. Loose board on step to door was hazardous. Floor was unclean with a coating of dirt from the dirt parking lot. Would have liked a small refrigerator. Having to communicate through a management firm (OYO) added a layer of difficultly.

I went one night and it got shut down the next night

The sheets on the bed were fresh and clean. Parked right outside door

Tooooo small for 2 people. Water stunk with high sulfur smell---didn't shower. Rinsed mouth with bottled water. Only 1 coffee in room with a very small cup to drink---condiments were stale. No key given to the room...no real "office or check-in". GPS could not take directly to the facility. Dirt road entrance....arrived on motorcycle, would have been nice to know in advance. No regular TV, everything streamed and the internet constantly going off line so quit watching---no cell service.
