The Federal is a very nice boutique hotel in Brunswick. The staff was friendly and the facilities were well maintained and beautifully decorated for the Christmas season. I'm already looking forward to our next stay there.

We booked our stay at The Federal just because it looked nice and seemed like a good price. What we discovered was a wonderful and chic hotel with an extremely comfortable room in a completely remodeled hotel. We’ll definitely stay at The Federal again.

We loved staying at The Federal! It was lovely. The bagged breakfast was excellent! The only thing we thought was a bit much was 50.00 a night for a dog. Per stay would be fine but nightly pricy. Still love the place.

Beautiful property, very clean, 555 had excellent food and staff was exceptional. The only marginal comment I can make is that the bed wasn’t very comfortable. It was clearly well used as there was an indentation where the majority of clients that have stayed in that room clearly prefer.

My husband and I arrived to The Federal with a warm greeting and beautiful accomendations. We met our relatives for dinner downstairs and everything that was served was excellent. The tomato watermelon gazpacho was to die for! All the staff were super friendly. The beds were comfortable and our room was very clean. I have nothing negative to say except the coffee pot was running low in the morning, but I am sure they took care of that soon after my husband walked away. . Don’t hesitate to book here.
