375 Main Street, Waterville, Maine 04901-4924 United States

Hotel Overview

On the Kennebec River in central Maine, the Best Western Plus Waterville Grand Hotel makes a comfortable base in Waterville, Maine, in a riverside college town.

On-site dining at an Irish pub and restaurant means no late-night drive, a hot breakfast starts the day, and the spacious rooms add streaming-enabled TVs and reliable Wi-Fi. Colby College sets the tone of the town, with campus arts events nearby and a restored opera house and summer film festival living a renovated downtown and riverfront. The Belgrade Lakes open a short drive west for swimming, paddling and the call of loons at dusk, and fall foliage paints the Kennebec valley each autumn. Local cafes and a small craft scene round out the quiet evenings, and the colleges fill the town with lectures, games and gallery shows throughout the year. Maine's capital at Augusta and the western mountains each sit within an easy drive.
