The front desk hostess greeting us on check in was more than friendly and helpful. We give her four stars. The overall the premises was not badly kept or unpleasant to stay at. However, the maids failed to make our bed or replenish our towels for the second day of our stay. In fact, they did absolutely nothing to the room. We did NOT leave a DND sign on the door so there was no excuse for this lapse in service. Also, the continental breakfast consisted in dried cereal, oatmeal, fruit cups and coffee. Not much of a selection. If you plan on eating breakfast go out but good luck finding a restaurant. There were few amenities in this former mill town. Millinocket was mainly a bedroom community for the now defunct Great Northern Paper company. Everyone seems to be waiting for GNP to return. They don't realize this is not going to happen. Nor do they appreciate the role the Great Northern Woods can play as a outdoor recreational paradise. There is more to Northern Maine than Baxter State Park. In fact, Percy Baxter would not trust the state to care for the lands he left to the public. Rather then deeding them to the State he created a public trust to ensure the lands were not sold or left in ruin. It's a sad commentary on the State Government. We enjoyed our tour of the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument. Hopefully it grows in size as the Federal government invests more money in the area.
