Recently updated hotel. Well decorated, clean, and a chic restaurant, though the restaurant hours are quite limited. Kind of a weird location overlooking the highway but we didn’t hear road noise and it’s walkable to town. Would stay here again.

We have a child going to Bowdoin College and whenever we visit we stay at The Federal. It is a wonderful hotel with great staff. The location is great for walking downtown. There is a bike trail that start very close to the hotel. The college is a little over a mile away!
