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!

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.

This property was in such a great location for our needs. After checking-in, there were a number of restaurants within walking distance and a yummy ice cream shop just down the street. We had a gorgeous view of the Penobscot River and the Penobscot Narrows Bridge which is lit up at night. We lucked out with being there for Bucksport's yearly festival. My kids loved the bouncy houses and shopping at the vendor's tents. We were able to walk right out of our room to see the fireworks that evening. Side note: reviewers mention the outdated comforters, but you can ignore those comments. This is a historic hotel with a certain style. The bedspreads have large flowers, but they are not old.

The view from our room was exceptional, right on the River looking at Ft. Knox. We happened to be here for a festival and were treated to wonderful fireworks from our window. Not a lot of food choices for dinner, but we had pizza at the popular pizza place and it was very good. Suspension Bridge was lighted all night which added to the view.

Beautiful stay

This hotel offers absolutely beautiful views of the bridge and river, both day and night. This is an older establishment, but very clean, everything worked as it should, and the staff were very kind and accommodating. Located right along the river, with a nice walking path that runs right by the hotel. Felt safe and very peaceful. Would definitely recommend.

Always awesome. This is our second time there. Restaurants in walking distance- Warren's is awesome. The ice cream shop is good too. Quiet area, small town. The observatory on the bridge is a must. Get the river view, its a beautiful view to wake up to. They have microwave and fridge in the room. Ice machine on premises. Beds are comfortable. Shower pressure is amazing. Staff is great. Prices are good. Clean hotel. Front door locks at night, use your key to open- i like this feature. Also, go to the bookstore and visit Lucky.
