Hotel room was very dated. The a/c was very noisy and only did an ok job of cooling the room. The staff was not very friendly and the local dining options were awful. Same your money and drive to the next town sorry but do not recommend this hotel for the prices they charge!

Property located on water, our room view was parking lot but we walked along water, nice path, quiet and safe to walk for pizza and ice cream. Spent next day at Fort Knox park. Only stayed one night. Room was de orated in a classic floral explosion but was clean and met our needs.

A clean and quie hotel to rest your traveling body

Wonderfully located in the heart of Bucksport right on the Penobscot River with an unobstructed view of the impressive Penobscot Narrows Bridge. The hotel is old in its furnishings but cleaner than many newer hotels. They must have done some renovations as the walls seem to be freshly painted and all seams in the bathroom are recaulked bright-white. Even the sink and bathtub, albeit dated, are white and spotless. A shout-out to the cleaning crew for this! They must have some special tricks up their sleeves. The bed was very comfortable. I also loved that i was able to open the windows. That is rarely possible in the new hotels. My room to the back was very quiet which i loved as well. The only thing that was confusing to me: there was a smell on towels and linens that reminded me of some disinfectant used in thrift stores. My suggestion: better use bleach.

I will definitely stay here again. The hotel's back rooms face the river. I had a riverview, which was amazing. You can see Pen Bay, the Pen Bay Bridge, and Fort Knox from a riverview room. The rooms are nicely furnished and spacious. Great hotel!

The view is amazing if facing river especially at night when bridge lights up. Most of the restaurants are closed until Wednesday, so plan ahead for breakfast especially.
