Best Western Plus Brunswick Bath

Best Western Plus Brunswick Bath

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel located conveniently on the North side of Brunswick and yet very close to Bath, is the perfect place to stay any time of year. This includes it's many museums, restaurants, coffee shops, history, river walks, nice downtowns, etc. This is our 3 time staying here and if anything, it is better run than ever. The breakfast area is very attractive and comfortable, while providing a vast array of food choices and excellent coffee. The rooms are very comfortable and the pool area, which we used twice, is extra nice and well laid-out, along with an exercise area. We really appreciated the convenience of 24/7 coffee, juices and even lattes. And their room price is much more reasonable than other similar hotels, especially in greater Bath, a wonderful town to visit"

"Our room was pretty nice with a great view from the balcony in front of our room. More hooks and a shelf or two would be nice in the bathroom. The Restaurant was a big disappointment for dinner, while breakfast was pretty good."

"Everything was good. The ocean front with the chairs and fire pit was really nice and the restaurant has really good food. The only thing I would complain about is that the bed frame for the room is too big, not enough room to get around our shins and toes took a beating"
