Our room was lovely. The idea of the "to go" breakfast was great, especially if it keeps the cost of "room service" down. We didn't mind having to go to the front desk to pick it up, but my husband's "Danish" was tiny. The hotel's location makes it quiet and convenient to downtown Brunswick. All in all, we enjoyed our weekend!

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.
