Welcome to the Mercury!
Before Arrival
If you need anything, text me, Jake or whoever is on duty at 207-420-2420. This is the inn phone and we will often have it when we don’t have our personal phones. So definitely start there if you have a question or need anything. If it’s between 9pm and 7am call or text me directly (207-831-6116)
Parking
for 24-hour unrestricted parking, look on State St. (the street the inn is located on), Mellen St. (one block west of State St.) and Park Ave (at the end of State St, about a block away from the inn).
For overnight parking from 3pm-11am park on Grant St. or Sherman St. (the two streets on either side of the inn).
If all else fails, there is a reasonable priced garage at 181 High St. (attached to the Westin).
If parking after after 5 or 6pm until about 9am the next morning, it can be tough to find street spaces. Things clear up when everyone heads to work for the day.
Arrival
PLEASE MASK UP BEFORE ENTERING THE INN AND WHEN IN COMMON AREAS
If arriving and/or coming in between 8pm and 7am, the deadbolt on the outer front door will be locked. During the day, it is unlocked.
The inner front door’s look has a little check mark in the bottom left corner. Hit that after you enter you entry code for the door to unlock.
The Inn
Your floor has a kitchenette and dining area. Help yourself to coffee, tea and what ever’s in the fridge for Mercury guests. There’s space set aside for each Suite. Feel free to grab whatever food, snacks, etc you’d like. There’s a little oven/microwave to heat stuff up and some prep equipment if you’d like to make yourself a sandwich, salad etc.
Don’t worry about washing your dishes. Give them a rinse or what have you, but we sanitize everything after it’s used, so you don’t need to do much.
Your room has an A/C unit, the little white remote controls it. Some of the rooms have a second unit that was left over from before our renovation. Those are out of service. The one unit cools both rooms.
The little closet in the hallways has extra towels, toilet paper, tissues, etc. help yourself to anything you need.
