It was obvious that this was once the premium hotel in Bangor - the place for conference meeting, weddings, or other big fabulous event, and still wants to be "that place." However, it looks tired & worn. NEVERTHELESS, it still holds great potential, if/when they are able to do a freshening up with paint, floor covering, and general upgrades. The room was large and comfortable - bed, lighting, TV, refrigerator, etc. ~ It's a little noisy because of the busy street passing by, but I was pleasantly surprised to sleep undisturbed by it (so the traffic probably lessened through the night; and didn't pick up again too early). ~ We ate dinner at the Blue Sky Lounge (hotel restaurant). The food was good. The menu plentiful. The prices reasonable. The ambiance was not my taste, but not distasteful either. When we were there the atmosphere was more of a bar than restaurant, somewhat loud for eating our dinner after a long day, but not obnoxious. ~ We didn't use the pool, but peeked in; and it looked good. The courtyard out the back needed landscaping attention!! STAIRS... NO ELEVATOR. We aren't young but fit enough to handle the stairs to the 2nd floor, but not everyone would want to carry their luggage up them. We didn't need to use the hotel to airport transportation service, but saw that it was available. ~ Overall, I would stay there again, and recommend it to anyone who asked me.
