Hostels in Maine, United States

Our stay here has been excellent. We did not expect the high quality of the service and room from a ”budget ” stay. Cynthia, our front desk check-in person was outstanding. She was friendly and helpful. She knew we were leaving before breakfast and brought muffins, oranges and water to our room shortly after we checked in. The room was modern and clean with great hot water. The airport driver was attentive and friendly too. I have stayed in 5-star hotels and didn't experience hospitality like this. Kudos to Cynthia and this franchise!

I chose this place as a less expensive alternative to hotels in Portland. Also because motels are safer during COVID than hotels (more ventilation because the room opens to the outdoors). First, I want to say my room was clean and comfortable. It's nothing fancy, but you get what you pay for. Also, I had a last-minute change to my reservation and the manager was very accommodating. So, thank you for that. My one non-COVID sort-of complaint is that, while you get a fridge and microwave (nice features), there's no coffee maker in the room. Would be nice to have that instead of the microwave, maybe. My biggest issue is that there were no COVID protocols in place. I went into the office to check in and the office was SEALED. I mean no windows open, door shut. The manager who checked me in was not wearing a mask. Two other guests were in there. I was the only one wearing a mask. And check in still involves filling out a card, even if you book on Booking.com, so it takes several minutes. I was quite eager to get out of there. When I got to my room, I realized he had given me a queen room rather than the king I booked, but I didn't want to go back into the office to request a room change. Then it occurred to me that if the manager wasn't wearing a mask, housekeeping probably didn't either. I kept the door open and opened the windows to air out my room before removing my mask, following what the experts say. Please open your office windows. It was 72 degrees and gorgeous outside. No reason to have everything sealed up.

When we checked in at night, the lady at the front desk politely introduced us. The breakfast is also good, two options can be selected, as shown in the picture, the other is muffins, and there are many drinks. The room was spacious and clean enough to sleep comfortably. The service is also very fast. If you need anything, just go to the front desk and ask him for it (the phone can't be used 😂), and the delivery is very fast. There is also a billiard room (free) and a washing machine (2.5～3🔪) and a dryer (2🔪). Free parking!

In the nearby area of all services.For the price was correct !

One pillow case that appeared to have not been changed before we arrived is the only negative thing to mention about The Bangor Inn. This hotel was like an oasis in the desert of our travels! A great breakfast, and everything was clean and comfortable, including the CARPET, which is a big deal. I was actually comfortable walking barefoot, which I usually don't do in a hotel. The staff were VERY friendly, helpful, smiling and just professional! Where did you find these people? Bangor Inn will always be our first choice to stay in this area of Maine. Should definitely be rated closer to a 4 star hotel, not the 2 that is listed.

The location is far from Bar Harbor and is a typical motel. Health is good, service is good, the network is too bad, there is basically no way to access the Internet. It is difficult to get close to the peak season park. It takes 40 minutes to drive to Cadillac Mountain in the morning.

We enjoyed our stay here a lot!! Very cute and well equipped rooms but they are on the smaller side. Very glad we were given 1st floor rooms as there are no elevators here. Breakfast, coffee, cookies, were very nice too. The bed was too hard though and the area isn’t close to the main area of Portland.

The desk person was great, the room very clean and odor free. Surprised how quiet it was being so close to major highways. Much of the hotel runs away from the road toward a wooded area. It`s not a 5 star and shows normal wear and tear for it`s age, a little floor squeaking from above, etc. One would have to be a snob to find anything to complain about. Excellent value for the area and the times.

After traveling most of the day site seeing my husband daughter and myself were exhausted. It is difficult finding a pet friendly hotel and this was the first one we could find for more than an hours ride. When we asked if they had a room we thought great its 7:30 pm we were all exhausted and we actually have a place to stay with my puppy. When we got over to our room just entering into the hallway to go upstairs there was garbage all over the carpet. Ok so I let that go because its a main entrance so I figured through the day things got dropped or whatever. Go up to our room and open the door the first thing i saw was coffee still sitting in the coffee pot. Yuck 🤮 obviously wasn't cleaned. Hubby and I checked the beds to make sure they didn't have bugs that was fine. Sheets seemed ok. On the corners of the bed was all kinds of crumbs. Obviously no vacuum was used. So my teenage daughter wanted to watch TV and guess what it wasn't working. I called the front desk to let her know after trying everything to fix it. The girl at the desk was very pleasant and I dont blame her at all. She did say she was relatively new and would call her supervisor to find out. Well she called me back to tell me she had a message to her supervisor but no one had responded. Ok so no tv whatever. Later I went to shower and noticed the curtain looked off and the rod was barely hanging on the wall. I get in and showered and noticed the tub didn't drain so I had water to my ankles. So now we are all getting ready to go to bed as its been a long day and the darn beds were like rocks. Hard and very uncomfortable. About 2 hrs later my husband wakes up saying he was hot and he is never hot he rarely uses ac. When i got up the ac unit was blowing hot air. Then I realized it kept shutting off through the night. Well maybe some of my complaints are because I was a housekeeper for 4 years but I dont think that's what it is. When we get ready to check out i voiced my concerns and thoughts that they would do something to make it right but instead I got a story about how they hire a cleaning company to clean. Well I will never stay here again nor reccomend it to anyone.

We visited Freeport in 2019 and ate at the Broad Arrow Tavern. We thought if we visited again, we would definitely want to stay at the Inn. We had 3 people in our party, so I booked a townhome. I didn't anticipate the ”townhouses are located toward the back of our property, along a beautiful treelined path” would actually be a steep uneven path my 91 year old father would have to traverse with his walker. We were greeted with a musty smell when we opened the door. There wasn't enough comfortable seating for ”a family”. Two of us sat on the couch and one sat on the desk chair to watch TV together. I can't imagine if we had our whole family with us. I think there is a reason why they didn't post pictures of the townhomes on the website. They are old, small and not well appointed. There is no curtain in the entry window by the door, so there is no privacy for the downstairs. Anyone going by could watch your family without your knowledge. I know because walking by the other townhomes, we could see into everyone that had their lights on. I'm not sure where we were supposed to put the soap for the bathroom sink because there was no soap dish. The bathroom was tiny. There was no dishwasher detergent for the dishwasher and no drying rack for the sink. I can only assume they wanted you to use the dishwasher to store hand washed dishes. They left a large sponge (not sure how old or how clean) to do dishes. There were no regular towels to dry hands or dishes. Paper towels were provided. The refrigerator doesn't have an ice maker. There was one cube of trays half filled, so I can only assume someone else touched that ice cube tray on a previous visit. No decaf coffee was provided. The bed's headboard rocked. We had to put towels across the headboard because it was hitting the wall every time we sat on the bed. The blanket that was on the bed didn't even go across the whole bed as it was one size too small. There were no extra pillows/blankets. It would have been nice to use a blanket while watching TV. I doubt the carpets were vacuumed between guests because I found a piece of broken plastic in the middle of the hallway floor upstairs. I'm glad I saw it because it was sharp and had the diabetic guests cut their foot on it, it could have led to a serious problem. I'm not sure if there is an electrical issue with this townhome, but I will cation future guests when using the plugs. They sparked upstairs and downstairs when I was plugging things in. The place has been partially renovated with new countertops on old cabinets. It appears to be new carpet. There is evidence of pictures that used to hang on the wall but don't any more. I'm not sure why there is a hole in the living room ceiling. There is a chipped mirror and rusted metal in the bathroom, old & scratched furniture, etc. The main bedroom had a broken closet door. There is a TV in one bedroom only although there is a TV cabinet in the other bedroom. After seei

This is a very nice and clean space to stay outside of Bangor. It's on the way to Bar Harbor and northern points like New Brunswick. It has decent views and old fashioned Maine rooms. Its short on local amenities- its on the road between bar harbor and ellsworth and there is little nearby except the golf course across the street. There is a small outdoor swimming pool

My husband and I did a detour on our vacation and spent 2 nights here, May 13/14, 2022. We were greeted pleasantly and with great kindness by Patty at the front concierge desk! From the moment we walked in and every time we walked through the lobby. What a wonderful lady! Once we checked in quickly and easily, we went up to our room on the top floor, river view. The room was exceptionally clean, and quite large! The bed was nice, comfy and big. TV worked, remote worked. We had a fridge and a microwave. All in clean working order. The windows are big AND they open for beautiful overnight breezes! The second day was quite hot so we turned on the AC. Worked great! The hotel is older. The walls are thinner than most. But it all added to its charm. We had a wonderful stay at Fort Knox Park Inn. A few local restaurants and an ice cream shop. The river walk was really nice (except for those pesky mosquitos - bring bug spray). The view of the bridge was pretty. Highly Highly Recommend and I hope the day comes where we can return and stay longer!

The Primrose is so lovely! Our Leffingwell suite had its own porch and a luxurious bed. The chef is quite talented and cooks gourmet breakfasts and sweets for tea. Brandon is an attentive, kind innkeeper. The property is stunning and beautifully decorated. It’s close to town so we walked everywhere. Don’t miss this perfect spot in BarHarbor!!

We chose Ellsworth as a base camp to explore the Acadia area and as far west as the western shore of Penobscot Bay. After a good deal of driving and exploring for 5 days, we looked forward to returning to the Hampton each evening. Everything was up to the standards we expected and, even though it was busy, the breakfast area was large and well-staffed. The front desk was efficient and helpful. We especially appreciated the recommendation of Governer's Restaurant & Bakery across the street. Don't miss the nearby L.L. Bean Outlet.
