Bangor not such a bargain.
This was a basic hotel with a basic breakfast but it was clean enough in the room. The carpet was stained and the tub wasn’t cleaned properly. Public hairs. Compared to the other stays along the way, the price was a little high for what it offered. The halls were somewhat dirty and the carpets had some stains. The breakfast was very basic. I expected a full hot breakfast. The only hot thing was the automatic pancake machine that produced mediocre pancakes. This wasn’t clear in the listing.

Room was dirty. Hair on the floor and in the beds. I had to borrow a vacuum and clean it myself. No carpeting in room it was very noisy. There was construction going on and drilling began at 7:30 directly below our room. Couldn’t wait to get out of there.
