Downtown Bangor is a bit seedy so it was nice to be in Orono. Nice property, clean, large room, helpful staff and good breakfast. A nice touch was the complimentary coffee, ice cream and "soup of the day" in the lobby. Great, moderately priced base to explore the central coast from.

After checking in with a very friendly staff, the first thing I noticed was how amazingly clean the room was. We have traveled quite a bit and seen all kinds of rooms. The cleanliness of the room was first rate. The location was great and the area was quiet. Completely satisfied with our stay.
