Center Lovell Inn

A thoroughly enjoyable experience! This is a lovely inn, with beautiful touches, cozy places to sit and many conveniences. The yard is serenity itself, with plantings and a gurgling fountain. Sip coffee on the porch, take in the mountain views & enjoy the honor bar. Rose's Room has a comfy bed, gorgeous wallpaper and a large round mirror. Rose is friendly, helpful and hospitable -- and she makes exquisite gourmet breakfasts! I only wish the restaurant had been open for dinner; next time...

We stayed for two nights for a friend’s wedding nearby. Rose was a great host and the hotel is incredibly cozy, which was important for those cold winter days. The breakfasts were also amazing, including some of the best eggs I’ve ever had. We were lucky to be some of the few guests that weekend. The parking lot was icy, which made it a bit difficult to navigate, but that was all too uncommon around town at the time.

We stopped by the Center Lovell Inn while on a motorcycle trip through Maine. What a wonderful spot! It’s an old house built in 1805, with all the charm of 19th architecture combined with modern amenities. We stayed in Prince’s room, with an amazing view of the Presidential Mountain range. The owners are just fantastic and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. If you find yourself in western Maine I highly recommend the Center Lovell Inn.

Our two bedroom suite was warm, comfortable and perfect for an overnight for our family of five. Two bedrooms, a full bath, and a small bonus room with TV and electric fireplace were a good deal, especially when you include the incredible breakfast.

We arrived peak season (August). As we drove up we thought the place must have shut. We got to the porch door and all the tables were stacked up, chairs no boxes too - we were sure it was closed. The front door was locked but after ringing the bell a very confused seeming Rose opened the door. We were told prices had gone up so we would have to pay extra - she later changed her mind on this. The place had the feel of the Bates motel - I had to leave the shower curtain open! There was no restaurant, we were told it had been shut a while but this was not advertised anywhere. Breakfast was disappointing in the main because it all tasted of garlic, like the fruit had been chopped on a garlic chopping board - inedible. Despite ********** saying it was full we were the only guests. I couldn’t wait to leave. What was so confusing was that all the reviews raved bout the place and Rose in particular. Rose seemed very chaotic, poor at communicating and slightly manic - I fear something had gone wrong. All that said although the bathroom was very old no tires the bedrooms were clean and fresh.

What a quaint place to stay. The rooms are clean and roomy and Rose is a treat. The breakfast was incredible and we loved the location and the grounds. We were there in the height of the fall color and the location, while remote, was easily to get to and right on our way.
