    Loved the center of town location. The room was beautiful. Everything went seamlessly. I'd stay at Bow Hotel again and again. Honestly, I've never said that before about a hotel, we usually want to check out new places.

    Our room was big, clean, and had fantastic lighting (something so many hotels get wrong!). Nice bathroom, great shower, comfy bed. Robes & umbrellas were a nice touch.

    Great location within walking distance of many restaurants, attractions and just a stroll across the bridge to Kittery, ME lobster shacks. Very clean room and quality of furniture and decor was top notch.
