Reviews of The Skowhegan by KasaReviews of The Skowhegan by Kasa

Nice location, can walk to the very small town. Easy parking and quiet at night. Hated virtual front desk. Hotel is still renovating, and noisy very early in the morning. Wouldn't have booked it had we known.

After booking a room (only non-refundable rate available), we realized the virtual check-in process is a lot more invasive than we thought. We had to take photos of a license (front and back), and do a 150 degree FACIAL SCAN on our phone. And when we got to the property, realized there's no front desk at all. Worst thing is being woke up at 6AM in the morning because this property is still under construction. The property has nice photos, but there's no way to contain shower water with that shower stall, so we had to wipe the floor with the towels. It's such a shame becuase we wanted to like this place, since it's the newest hotel in that area. But taking HUMAN out of a hotel business may not be a wise thing.

Great Stay Great stay! First floor is beautiful. Rooms are gorgeous! Building is very hip and cool! There’s no ice machine, which was a bummer. Overall, an amazing stay!

I loved that it was quiet

The room was spacious and furnished with high end materials throughout. The windows and walls apparently have great soundproofing as the bedroom was exceptionally quiet overnight.

Wow what an experience! Really loved the rooms and the place . It seems like they really invested in high quality for best experience.

I would say Kasa is beautiful, the building and the rooms are amazing. The only issue i had is with the bathroom pocket door. Hard to open and close. Just needs to be adjusted.

Wonderful Above and beyond accommodations, convenient location…..phenomenal views…very reasonable pricing….Excited to return after restaurant opens!

Everything about this place was absolutely amazing! The room & view of the river was breathtaking. Everything was super clean and peaceful. My husband and I actually forgot the code to our room when coming back after a night out. It was 1am and within 10 minutes customer service was on the phone and helped us get in with no problems at all. I highly recommend staying at the skowhegan. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Beautiful hotel, simply unfinished. High ceilings, nice furniture, good gym.

Kudos to the designer of this place! The style is modern and consistent throughout. Feels like a place I could live in for a while. I especially like the kitchen lighting and the shower. The location is fantastic! Two local coffee shops easily walkable. The 5 stars is for what I see this is about to be AND the fact that they were able to resolve an issue remotely. But to temper the expectations of others, here are the things that future guests may want to know: -there is no hanging rack. Hangers, yes, but there is no rod yet. -there is no microwave. I LOVE having the pans and cooktop, and used it for noodles and edamame. But rewarming coffee was awkward. -it was advertised as one king and one queen, but the queen is a sofa pull-out. A good quality one, but the table in front of it is so heavy that we couldn’t move it out of the way (we could have moved it but would risk hurting myself, so wiser not to). So the second bed can only be used if you have strong people within your family. And if you ask for sheets before the housekeeping leaves. (I recommend to them changing the table to an equivalent style but half the size.) -accessibility: there is a ramp to the main door and all the current rooms are on the first floor, so no problems getting to the rooms. The other floors are not accessible yet, as the elevator does not work yet. The lower level has a conference table, library space, and gym. This is a “future use” floor, as you can see what’s coming, but no need to go there for those with accessibility needs. (They will need more elevator signs when it’s time) -gym only has free weights so far, elliptical and others are not ready yet. -This is as of mid-June 2025, for reference.

UNFINISHED HOTEL!!! I have no idea how they can charge $265 a night for this place. Please look at the photos. None of the “amenities” besides wifi are available. The room we stayed in was small but clean, no closet just a few hangers on the ironing board, 1 small trash can in the bathroom. Aesthetically on the website it looks very nice but it seems very sketchy to open a hotel without being finished. One of the side doors on the building is completely unlocked and you can get in without a code. The “gym” has nice free weights but all of the equipment is not ready for use (unplugged with boxes on the ground and stickers on the machines). Look out for the extra $25 non refundable damage waiver, instead of a refundable hold on your card. Just stopping through for 1 night on the way up to the forks. Wouldn’t recommend until the building is finished. Also the air filter in our room needed to be changed (how if this place is brand new??)

Loved the walkable location and the giant windows and high ceilings. The building was still under construction at the time of our stay, but once all the amenities are available… this will be a real gem of a place.

Nice place to stay

Great

Beautiful Likes: Really nice building and rooms

Beautiful room, outdone only by the view (and sound) of the waterfall. Check-in and checkout were a cinch, and it was easy to walk to the shops and restaurants downtown. Excited to come back!

Awesome property.

Very cool new hotel and interesting concept. It will be superb once the renovations are complete.

Beautiful apartment with excellent views of the adjacent waterfall. Everything apartment was brand new, to the point where we thought we may have been the first people to use things.

Kasa was a beautiful place to stay and it felt really cozy. The only thing I have bad to say is that it wasn’t finished yet so give it a try it’s well worth it. I am excited to see what the finished building will look like when it’s all done. I would definitely stay again in the future!

First off the property is undergoing renovation, as it is one of Kasa's newest properties. The rooms that are finished and able to be stayed in are still brand new furnishings. The bed was amazing and extremely comfortable, and the couch was very comfy, as well. The rooms are modernized, and brought to the 21st century, all the while maintaining the old rustic structure of the brick building. I would recommend staying at the property for the experience, and the amenities!! It is unmanned and all virtual, with no host or hostess on the property. QR codes will be involved, but if you are tech savvy than it won't be a problem, and even if you aren't they make it pretty easy for you to check in!!

I was pleased to find comfortable accommodations in Skowhegan. I generally travel out of town when I'm there for work but the newly-renovated mill is unique, comfortable, and handsomely appointed. The instructions for keyless entry were clear and concise. I look forward to when the restaurant opens. The facility is just recently opened and getting underway.

There are no employees on site. To check in you have to upload a photo of your ID and a selfie. That’s a big no for me. I’m not uploading my personal data. The hotel looks nice but I’m not going to expose myself in that way sorry. They did happily refund the stay.

It felt brand new and it had a cool vibe. I was surprised to find something so nice just an hour outside of Portland. It’s a great place to stay if you’re in the area. I will definitely go back! PS check in was a breeze!!

I had an incredible stay at The Skowhegan by Kasa! The rooms were spotless, the ambiance was absolutely five-star, and every detail felt thoughtfully curated. The charm of the space made it feel like a true retreat, and I can’t wait to come back—especially with the biergarten opening soon! A gem in Maine—highly recommend.

Great new hotel! Great location and service. Highly recommend.

This is Going to be Fantastic This is going to be a fantastic place to stay once it gets fully operational. The room was brand new. We had to open the pullout sofa for the first time and remove the plastic from the mattress. The kitchenette was wonderfully stocked with plates, glasses, cutlery, electric kettle and a full knife set, but nothing else to cook with like a microwave. Perhaps that's coming. We loved the style and cleanliness. There appears to be some common areas in the basement level that will be nice when complete. Stylish bathroom with nice toiletries.

I had a wonderful stay at this brand-new hotel in Skowhegan! The property is clean, modern, and clearly well thought out. My room was spotless and comfortable, with all the amenities I needed — including fast Wi-Fi, a cozy bed, and a great shower. The location is super convenient for exploring downtown Skowhegan and nearby outdoor attractions. I also appreciated the quiet atmosphere at night — great for getting a good night’s rest. It’s exciting to see a new option like this in town. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in the area!

Very clean and great location. I love when old factories are converted to living space.

Wonderful rooms with extended stay options available. My room had a great view of the river and downtown Skowhegan. Many guest amenities, but my personal favorites were the gym and library. Already looking forward to my next stay!

Had a great stay. Highly recommend to anyone traveling to the area.

Never made it to the hotel because I didn’t have an email with the info I needed. I called Kasa and I called Expedia and did not receive help. I do not recommend hotels that don’t have a front desk.

A hidden gem! What a great addition to the area. Will be returning for sure!

Beautiful building, spacious rooms, and perfect location. Highly recommended.

Amazing new hotel and event space in a huge historic mill building perched right atop the Skowhegan gorge. Stayed here during GrowSmart Maine conference and the hotel rooms are huge, closer in size to an apartment than a hotel room. Couldn’t recommend more highly!
