Senator Inn Spa

Love this place!

The spa suite was lovely and roomy. It had a keurig and mini fridge. It had a huge whirlpool tub and a tv in the bathroom. There is a big vanity with lighted mirror and seat in front of it. The bed is large and comfortable with lots of pillows and a big fluffy comforter.
The staff were friendly and accommodating. The manager Jonathan was very helpful is booking rooms for a large group and reserving them.
They also offer a full breakfast buffet with toast eggs bacon sausage oatmeal toast and fruit. All free before 930.
The bar is also nice. The bartenders always make the perfect cocktail and are fun. The service there is excellent and a relaxed atmosphere.

The best stay we had in our trip to east cost.
Very cozy room with nicely decorated. Convenient & comfortable room, bed, toilet everything was just pleasant and perfect.
The awesome breakfast I ever had in a hotel. (Even when we stayed in Marriott they didn’t gave us complementary breakfast, surprising)
Variety of bread, muffin, bagels, waffles, scrambled egg, fresh fruits, vanilla & strawberry flavored yogurt, sausage, juices, coffee & tea. I am not sure whether I included everything. they arranged with the restaurant people to serve us breakfast it’s highly professional and good.
Great food, great stay, great service. unfortunately we couldn’t use the spa but it looked so much fun place. We saw lot of families enjoying.
Highly recommending, super comfortable relaxing place.
Surely guys

Nice hotel with a great location in Augusta close to shops and restaurants. Room was very large, but the carpet was a tad dirty and smelly. Beautiful new bathroom and room had a fridge and microwave. Also there was an inside and outside room entrance with parking right outside door. This was very convenient. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We extended our stay a couple nights even though it was overbooked. Great complimentary breakfast every morning with scrambled eggs and waffles and sausage. Great hotel for a good price. Spa, salt water indoor pool, exercise room, outdoor pool all included in stay. Best spa and pool around. Excellent restaurant with best pizza in hotel too. Cute and cozy bar as well. Great old place.

We did not have a comfortable stay here. The room was small (whatever) but the worst part was the smell. There was a very strong odor and I don’t even know how to describe it, expect maybe a nursing home. We decided that if we had been in another country, we would have probably been satisfied (other than the odor) with the bed, bathroom, tv, refrigerator, microwave, etc. The breakfast was okay. There were lots of options, but overall, the quality was average.

I spent $ 127 on a manicure and pedicure and it started peeling in 3 days. The price included an 18% gratuity that was automatically charged. I have a big presentation next week and I need my nails redone. When I called, they said I would have to talk with the manager. When I asked for her, they said she would not be back until Monday. (This is Saturday morning.) I explained how important it is to get my nails redone and they said they could not possibly fit me in and they could not do anything until I talked with the manager. I left voicemail for the manager, but I still need my nails done.
I found another place where I can get my nails redone so I called Senator Inn again and asked for a refund. They said they could not do that until I talked with the manager.
This salon was recommended by several people in my family who had their manis and pedis done by THE ONE good beautician. Obviously, I got the other one. I would never recommend this spa because you will be overcharged, you will pay 18% to someone who may or may not do a good job and the results will be inconsistent.

Cute hotel. We got the spa king room and it was very roomy. It had a jacuzzi tub which was great. The beds were firm too much for me but hubby loved it. Huge flat screen tv and a fireplace. Only complaint was you couldn’t just flip through the channels you had to actually type in a number which is hard when you are not from the area and don’t know the channels. It also wasn’t high def which isn’t that big of a deal. It includes a free breakfast. I would definitely stay there again. It was very clean and the staff was very friendly.

I had a great time at this hotel over the weekend. I’ve stayed at a LOT of hotels, and this one by far has the most comfortable bed. The room was tidy and comfortable and the staff was very friendly.
Breakfast was amazing. There were scrambled eggs, sausage, a yogurt bar, fresh fruit, cottage cheese, all sorts of breads, waffles, and plentiful coffee and juices.
I did not utilize the spa services or the restaurant, so I can’t speak for them, but the rest of the hotel was awesome. I will definitely return next time I’m in town.

This is one of best motel-​restaurants in the entire state of Maine not just Augusta!
Owner obviously a perfectionist-​everything just so. Spa great pool and included in room. Breakfast also included. Even has an oyster bar!
Cannot recommend this place highly enough!
You won’t be disappointed !

DO NOT STAY IN THE GOVENORS WING! There is a reason why they don’s show pictures of this wing on the website. The hotel has a few different sections and some of them are updated, but the Govenors wing is a separate grouping of about a dozen rooms that is not attached to the main building and is stuck in a time warp from the 1970s. Dirty carpet, rusty front door, dirty entryway and parking lot and a dated, small bathroom with broken fixtures (our shower shot water on the ceiling instead of into the tub area). The room had an unpleasant odor that was worse when the air conditioning was actually blowing air– mostly the air conditioner did not work. I have stayed here many times over the past 10 years, and it appears to be going down hill and is not being kept up. I can not believe I was charged $ 179 for this yucky room.

As good as it gets, outstanding meals, quality, wait staff. Top notch all the way. Great management.

Growing up in the area and having dinned here for Sunday brunch many times I thought It would be a fun place to stay for a few nights. Firstly wow! Way below the bar I was expecting. Our room like others have commented was out of date — a TV and a very useful USB charger. The carpet felt like it had been laying in the entry way of a very busy lobby for about 20 years and never cleaned. The bathroom walls had 3 different color of woman’s hair stuck to them along with dust on most of the flat surfaces. Our bed was uncomfortable and our bed skirt had some very discussing stains. I shudder to think what they might be or the last time they were washed. The pool was alright nothing fantastic another thing to add to the dirty. In addition to the pools lack of hygiene the hot tub was toasty hot (thank god) but only 2 of the 12 jets work. Over all I gave this drably out of date hotel 2 stars 1 for the convince factor and one fore the food but even the food was nothing to special.
–very disappointed guest who will not be back.

After doing a minimal amount of research I chose the Senator based on its close proximity to the freeway and the recommendation of a Maine local. Ummm, I am starting to think they never actually stepped foot inside, stayed their in the late 80’s, or maybe had had a few too many cocktails at the bar to accurately remember the place.
The rooms are a decent size, but filled with out of date, grimy and uncomfortable furniture. The bathtub is laughably small and the shower head shoots in every direction but towards you. Even worse, the bathroom door is in the direct middle of the room, with the beds facing it and the TV in the right corner. Every time you enter or leave the restroom you have all eyes on you, you know, just what every person wants …
The second star is for the friendly front desk attendant. Aside from her, the place was worth avoiding. The price did not justify the value. Time to invest in some upgrades Senator!

This place is totally a gem! I can’t say enough about the staff! The pool is amaze! They hand you towels as you enter the spa, the bar was well stocked and the restaurant completely customized a dish for my pick self with no fuss! The room has a door you can enter from the outside and one from the hallway on the inside of the hotel… this is a great option if your traveling with a lot of junk;) like myself! Park at the door and hall it in with ease! But run to the bar in your socks from the other door:-) (anybody else barhop in their pjs!?) The door on the outside has chairs and a table for you to enjoy– this is per room –btw– no worries of anyone chilling on your «porch» area. Great place to stay if you use the spa area or not! And lady’s travel light (yeah right) they provide makeup remover! Yaay!

Did not get the room I requested but I think they upgraded us a little. The reason this was still annoying is because I specifically wanted a room with the door that leads directly outside. Oh, well, no big whoop.
The bed was so uncomfortable; pretty sure it was just plywood and not a mattress. The couch was the same.
Two stars because my husband is a goofus who loved that there was a television in the bathroom. Oh, and the front house staff was pleasant. I think I would find somewhere else next time I’m up there.

Thank god we weren’t the ones paying for this room.
From the outside, the building looks decently kept. The interior décor, however, was an embarrassing, confusing mess. Let me explain: the main hallway walls displayed prints of old paintings from what may be the colonial period? But the prints were creepy– children with huge heads and animals with huge human-​ish eyes. The carpets looked worn and smelled musty. The end of the hall where our room was, 335, smelled like skunk.
The room was tiny and the duvet/​throw pillows were dated and nasty looking. The sink was outside the bathroom with no towel bar/​hook which made no sense at all. The bed was terrible-​creaked with every movement and the pillows were tiny, like throw pillow size and seriously the worst/​cheapest pillows I’ve ever seen in a hotel. Linens were of the lowest quality as well, extremely low thread count guessing by how scratchy they felt– a bit like a potato sack.
The gym was ok– I only used the treadmill. They had one newer one and two older looking models. They had some other cardio machines but I didn’t really pay that much attention. The weight room looked straight out of the 70’s with dark green vinyl on all the machines. From my treadmill, you can see the indoor pool which looked nice at first but they have a super cheesy mural on the walls to make it look like you’re outside. I get what they were tryin to do but I think these types of gimmicks are best applied to children’s rooms– not a hotel. I did not even think of going up the spa after what I’d seen so far so I can’t speak to that.
The dining room also needs a major remodel. Apparently, the lady owner of this place decided she would do the interior decorating herself instead of hiring a professional– and it shows. I mean, I felt embarrassed FOR the owners because it is so bad. The interior décor throughout this place is atrocious. Take the bar/​lounge for example. The wallpaper is LEOPARD print and bits of leopard print is scattered everywhere. TACKY!
I could go on and on but I’ll stop here. A quick search made me realize this place is probably (sadly) one of the better hotels in Augusta so I guess the people who put us up here didn’t have much choice. I think for those of you who are thinking about staying in Augusta for whatever reason, it would be worth it to stay elsewhere or skip this town completely.

Spent two nights at The Senator while visiting a friend in the Augusta area after comparing the room rate to other area hotels. Our room was small, one queen bed, but adequate for our needs. I would stay here again if I had the same deal.
Décor is quaint and dated as to be expected at an inn in Maine. The linens were clean and the room was equipped with a microwave and mini-​fridge, which we were not aware of before checking in. The bathroom is functional and small, with a short bathtub that would only accommodate a child.
The continental breakfast includes scrambled eggs, toast, and potatoes, in addition to the traditional cereal, yogurt, fruit, but no breakfast meats. Service in the restaurant was genial.
Stars are lost because:
1. The front desk worker at check-​in was unpleasant to interact with. I used my credit card to prepay for the room under my boyfriend’s Expedia account and she was baffled and seemed annoyed to have to check two names.
2. The wifi, though free, is unsecured and unreliable and you have to re-​accept the terms almost every time your device sleeps. 3. The room has an HD TV but the cable is analog leading to a very unpleasant viewing experience akin to what shows looked like in the early 80s.
4. Signs posted say that the hot tub is only for persons 15 and older, but there is no staff member present to enforce that mandate. Luckily, the two 10-​yr-​olds that climbed in with us left after about 30 seconds.

I’m giving The Senator Inn two stars but only because of how hilarious this place was!
The first thing you’ll notice is how chopped and cramped the hotel is. Lots of additions have created a maze of odd corners and hallways. Dirty and in disrepair throughout. The carpet, furniture, sheets, and towels were funky. The room itself tasted like Glade. There was toothpaste splatter on the walls and mold in the bathtub.
On to what was hilarious… I would describe the décor as schizophrenic. The entry was cramped old hotel. The bar was a combination of leopard painted walls and traditional English library. The dining room has three sections. The first looked like a theme from The Little Mermaid. Very pastel with seats that looked like giant seashells. The next was like Denny’s in the Maine woods, with the support posts covered in birch bark. Finally came the open kitchen (very much the highlight) in traditional Tuscany.
My absolute favorite part of this hotel was the endless abundance of wall hangings. Tons of mismatched, creepy, odd, tacky, pictures everywhere! Many of them awkward looking people with eyes that follow you as you go. I will post a couple of my favorites for your viewing pleasure.
Not worth the price. Definitely worth the laugh of you can get past the dirty.

I stayed here because I was attending a business event at the Augusta Civic Center, and it was on the list of recommended hotels.
WHAT A DUMP!!!
When I checked in, I was «upgraded» to a suite. The suite happened to be located in the basement. Think of a scary movie in an old hotel from the 50’s. With the scary wallpaper and pictures with the moving eyes. Yes, that’s the Senator Inn.
Total grunge furniture, horrible smell!!! I don’t think it has been remodeled since the first senators stayed here!
Avoid this place!!!

So I’m downgrading my review based upon my second experience staying there. This time, I paid more money but was given a much smaller, older room near the spa. I could smell the fumes from the spa in the afternoon. The bathroom was much older and in need of an upgrade. I also had a door in my room to outside, which I am not a fan of. The room was older but the staff still does their best to keep it clean.
I definitely would recommend asking for a room in the 200s rather than the 100s. I think the 100s are the older rooms.
