A former local, I still pass frequently through the area on I295 for my work, a two-day drive, and so I look for uncomplicated, value-oriented properties that nonetheless make the two long days on the road less painful and tedious. In the Yarmouth-Freeport-Brunswick area, none in this categroy surpasses the Freeport Hotel for overall quality; after renovations, it has a sort of boutique feel, with a small lobby that (almost seamlessy, but ironically? i couldn't say, having studied irony professionally for 20 years) blends Scandinaivan Modernism with coastal cottage kitsch. From there, as at a motel you can drive to any of a few entry doorsdown the long hallway, the closest to your room not more than 50 ft away, which is a nice compromise between easy access and =cnfidnefe-inspiring security. Plus, the low profile of the one-story property ensures both that nobody will keepyou awake late by stiompiung overhead, tossign aside their outllet purchaes while muttering oaths in an entirely predictable outburst signaling allergic reaction to late capitalism, and also that you yourself can't disturb anyone below you, similarly allergic or in ecstatic outburst at experioence of same. if you are more nocturnally-inclined (shoutout, fellow creatures of the night), trhis mena syou can quietly and tastefully enjoy your time with family and friend, entering and exiting to parking lot wihtout much imposing on anyone else.
