Such an amazing place - the highlight of my trip to Sugarloaf! Fascinating and historically significant, this beautiful old hotel is original condition yet is fully functional and modernized where it needs to be - not where it doesn't. Everything about this place takes you back in time! My room was clean and comfortable and the bathroom was modernized yet appeared period-correct (to the extent possible). Note there aren't a lot of electrical outlets, you just have to look and find them. :) The owners are wonderful people who are investing their time and money to keep this place operating. It's just fantastic. If you're into old- or antique-anything, or history, or just want a nice, unique place to stay, the Herbert Grand Hotel is for you! RECOMMENDED!

I stayed at the Herbert with my friend to be able to go up to Sugarloaf (and not pay $350 for a single night at the mountain). The location is great - less than 20 minutes away. I had stayed here a few years ago and the rooms needed some serious help. Now they have all been renovated and the place has a sweet charm to it. Nothing super fancy, just a comfy bed, a cozy room and a hot shower. Exactly what I would expect for $100/night. They even upgraded our room to a King room. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a quick, convenient stay.

Beautifully elegant old building, well maintained with old fashioned furniture, fixtures and displays. Comfortable, memorable and inexpensive. Immaculately clean, with new carpets etc. My only criticism is the blinds in my room did not block enough light for me and the sun comes up early in June!

The owners are very nice. The place was quite clean! For whatever reason I always pay attention to plumbing fixtures and they used mostly quality Delta stuff here which I liked. The bed was a little uncomfortable but not the worst. Some more amenities would be nice. If no small fridge in the rooms then an ice maker would be good. Didn't seem like the pub was open when I stayed which was disappointing. Beautiful woodwork and decor. Very classic. Overall a very enjoyable stay. Would recommend.

This place was excellent! Loaded with old-timey decor and a pool table in the lobby. The rooms were very clean and the staff was really friendly. There was a window unit air conditioner that kept the room nice and cool. Hotel is close to restaurant and gas station and very easy to find. Would definitely stay here again the next time I travel to the region.

Grand it is. Located in Kingfield, nearby Sugarloaf. The interior was very beautiful, really 1800 vibe. Room was spacious, owners were kind to provide double bed for us, late request. We checked in almost midnight and key handling was arranged accordingly. It’s nearby the main road so some rooms can be a bit noisy but that’s not a problem. Shower was great, toiletries were provided. Clean towels, clean sheets, beautifully decorated 1800 room. There is a nice bar and a cute little gift shop. I bought artisan soap. I am pretty sure I would like to be back!

We had the most wonderful stay at the Herbert Grand Hotel with our two pups. This was our first time here, and absolutely loved the rustic Maine charm. We found ourselves completely enamored with all the antique decorations, my favorite was the phone booths on the main floor. They are incredibly accommodating and cheerful. We booked our stay online, had no issues checking in or out, or finding our way around town. We look forward to a return stay!
