Stay where Waterville comes together. Positioned minutes from Colby College, Thomas College, and Waterville’s major employers, this hotel is designed for travelers who want their stay to run smoothly — whether you're here for campus visits, project work, or a Maine weekend getaway.
Start your day with a complimentary hot breakfast before heading to meetings, campus events, or the lakes. Skip the search for dinner when you return — our on-site Irish pub and restaurant let you relax, dine, and unwind without leaving the property.
Our rooms are built for real travel. After a full day, settle into spacious guest rooms equipped with streaming-enabled TVs so you can watch what you want — not just cable reruns. Reliable comfort, strong connectivity, and thoughtful layouts make short stays easy and extended visits comfortable.
Guests choose our location since we are minutes to Colby College and Thomas College. We offer convenient access to Cianbro, Sappi Paper, and New Balance facilities and are a central base for exploring the Belgrade Lakes region. We offer on-site dining and a bar, so no late-night driving is required.
Whether you’re arriving for a campus weekend, a work assignment, or a Maine escape, the Best Western Plus Waterville Grand Hotel is a stay designed around convenience, consistency, and downtime done right.
