Was under complete Construction. I am honestly surprised it was legal to allow anyone to stay inside. I’m not certain how a building in this stage of construction was given certificate of Occupancy by the local municipality. When booking through Expedia, it should absolutely be required to notify the client that the building will be not only under construction, but potentially dangerous. In the future I will make sure not to use a third party such as Expedia and book directly with hotels. I’ve always known it was possible for the hotel not to be as nice as expected, but this was an astounding low. My one singular interaction with the hotel staff when checking in was fine, this is solely to do with the state of the property which other than not existing at all, was a worst case scenario.

I booked not realizing that the property was being renovated. Not only was there trash littered all over the place, the stairwells were blocked for construction and the elevator was the only way to get up to our room. The bed had hair in it and there was dust all over the place; the bathroom sink was clogged and wouldn’t drain. We ended up leaving a day early.

I was unaware at the time of booking that the hotel would be undergoing renovations. However, timings of renovations should be expected because it's just before the tourist season. Typically this is not a big deal because I have stayed other places with construction happening and their planning was very thought out. I was so disappointed with this one night stay, thankfully it was only one night. The check in/out window was actually a window that they opened while you stood outside. My husband had to fix the toilet so it would flush. We had to go back outside to the "window" to ask for towels because none were in our room. There was NO HOT WATER, so in the morning we were cooly refreshed to start our day on a chilly April morning. Lastly the "continental breakfast" was left by the elevator, in a hallway unattended so who knows could have touched it. This place honestly should have been shut down to do renovations. I was extremely disappointed and certainly will not recommend.

Average hotel experience. The hotel is undergoing a remodel so it's a little less than optimal but overall not bad.

The hotel failed to mention the intense construction all indoor and outdoors of the building. There was no hot water in our room. There was hair in the sink and bed. No working curtains. The conditions were so bed we left after being there for an hour. We’ll be requesting a full refund and never coming back or recommending this.

Paint/wallpaper was peeling off the walls, mold in the bathroom on the ceiling, had to stand in a puddle and let water fall on you just to check in. The check in was under a makeshift wooden “hut” due to renovations. The outside had shingles coming off the exterior. Looked nothing like pictures online. Right next to the interstate so was incredibly loud at night to sleep through while 18 wheelers drove by.

We got catfished -- by a hotel! The photos and descriptions were stunning, like a half-naked supermodel with abs and 401k. We got there only to find a 300lb sweaty chain-smoker who hadn't showered in a week. The "lobby" was a plywood tunnel leading to a window with nobody staffing the folding table propped up as a front desk. The main entrance resembled a haunted house - another plywood tunnel leading to the side door. There was hair in the tub, coffee splatters on the wall behind the filthy coffee pot, and what looked like a bloody booger smeared across the door frame. Construction is one thing - I get that, the place needed work. But at least CLEAN the rooms you've conned people into renting. The front desk lady needed a few lessons in customer service - she denied us access to the stairs, which is great fun when traveling with your highly claustrophobic mother-in-law. She possessed the logic of an 6 year old: We asked her, "What if there was a fire?" To which she replied, "There is no fire, and you're not using the stairs." If this were a first date, I would have stiffed her with the bill and jumped out the window. Well played, 44-Catfish-Hotel. Well played.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused.Please note, no note was made prior to arrival regarding claustrophobia, so as to provide a ground floor room. The front desk clerk did her best to advise of the necessary precautions if taking the stairs given the ongoing construction at present and also advised that in the event of a fire we have preparations in place. We appreciate your feedback. Thank you for staying with us.

The hotel is in the process of a remodel. The outside appearance is iniductive that the property had been neglected for a while. The interior is a little worn in some areas as well. A construction crew was on site making upgrades, as can be seen from a newly remodeled lobby. It should be a great place once they are finished. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. The staff was pleasant.

I was unaware that the property was undergoing renovations when I booked my stay online; it was not listed anywhere that I could find. Do not stay here if you don’t want to be woken up by hammering & scraping outside your window at 8am. The fire alarm went off this morning due to the renovations and was not turned off until the staff found the key for it (15-20 minutes of continuous loud noise). Staff is kind and friendly. The room itself was clean & comfortable. I’m sure any other time of year this place is 5 stars.

The property is being renovated and that was not noted when booked sadly it’s very dated the walls were not clean and the carpets had stains. The breakfast looked like it was from Walmarts frozen food section. The one staff we checked in was nice and helpful. He did explain renovations and noise but that would’ve been better known prior to booking.

During registration, I found out about renovations and noise (8am to 8pm) In the room, the tub did not drain properly and when telling the front desk got a teaching on how to drain a tub. the gentleman probably thought I had never used a tub. in the bathroom we had two bath towels for three people( me and my grandchildren) no extra blanket. the room door did not lock. during my first night, i was awaken at 2am by a violent dispute going on in the room next door. I called the front desk. they told me they will come and check. an hour later the noise kept going even more disturbing- language and screams. i called again. the situation kept going on until 4:30am. the next day the front desk agreed that the customers in the next room were too loud and were using foul language but he never apologized or ask how to help my stay. i asked to see the manager....never did....never received a call. Later that day i decided not to stay a second night . I did not trust my door and the clientele of the hotel.It seems that I was staying in a third grade hotel. Because I booked with Expedia the front desk person smiled and told me they could not do anything about reimbursement ," next time don't use Expedia." I am often looking for hotels for client looking for real estate up and down the coast of Maine. I will make sure to stay away from booking through Expedia as the Hotel 44 mentioned and will to stay away from Hotel 44. Some reparation would be appreciated

Pleasant stay....but
The hotel was under construction, which we did not know until we were booking in, which was unfortunate but not to inconvenient. The hot and cold of the rooms are hard to control. Its either straight hot or straight cold, no ability to actually pick a temperature. Shower water first thing in the morning was barely usable as the water was running straight cold til about 9am. Breakfast was good, but they have long term stays that were invasive to our experience.

Terrific Budget Friendly Hotel
My friend and I booked 2 rooms for New Years Eve with 4 kids. We had a great stay! It's a nice budget friendly hotel. Our room was clean, although there were a few stains on the carpet as others have mentioned, and the bathroom door could have used a wipe down, the room was very clean. We were definitely satisfied and will be back, especially for the price, and the fact that there is a good size pool and free breakfast. The kids loved it too!
