I always stay here when I'm up in Maine visiting my family. I mistakenly reserved a handicap room through Expedia and the lady at the front desk acted like there was nothing she could do about it because I went through Expedia. I guess I could've acted like a Karen and asked for a manager and demanded a different room but I felt like she should've just made it happen. The hotel definitely had plenty of available rooms. I'd stay there again though.

Although we ended up arriving quite late in the evening, our room was superb very large three bed suite was amazing and the beds were very comfortable. We also enjoyed the mini fridge with a freezer option as we had items that needed to be kept frozen and cold we will definitely stay here again during our travels.

when we arrived the staff were very friendly. Tge first room the bathroom was not cleaned so we asked for a different room. The staff were very understanding and happily gave us another room. When we went to the next room the bathroom again was not cleaned. the Assistant Manager came and clean it himself. The staff definately mad up for the mistakes of the cleaning staff. The property was easy access to everything, some areas including the bathrooms need a reno.

Noise from the room above began at 4:30am and did not stop. At 6am I called the front desk to ask for help and was told that he couldn’t as breakfast had started at 6 - made zero sense. Average or less than average in every other aspect. Not a chance I’ll stay there again

This hotel is conveniently located just off the highway outside of Bangor. It is quiet and feels safe. The room had everything we needed and the staff were accommodating. This was our second stay here and I would go back again.
