Top 10 Anglers Hotels

The staff is very friendly, and the breakfast was delicious. The room was also pretty clean, but I didn't dare inspect too closely. The building is filthy and rundown. The whole place has a creepy, dark, dank, and unsettling vibe. I'm a kind person, and actually hate to leave bad reviews, but I feel like people should know what they are getting before spending their hard-earned dollars here. The indoor pool is what drew me because I have children, and that area of the building was tolerable. People smoke everywhere, and the parking is next to a bunch of dumpsters. I honestly felt bad, and more than a little depressed, for the friendly staff I met who had to come to this work at this place everyday. I would absolutely not recommend.

Date of Visit: Saturday, November 2nd, 2019 Budget Motel for sure. This is a 2 story drive up motel. The motel is outdated and is not one of the better examples of a Motel 6. It has all of the ear marking of the updated motel 6’s but this one is a little dingy, dirty, and in disrepair. The rooms are spacious enough. I had to really push the guy to give me a room with 2 beds. He did so begrudgingly. I am not sure why as the motel was probably at less than 25% occupancy. We were put on one end of the 2nd floor, while our travel companions were on the lower level at the opposite end. As we walked past about 10+ rooms we could see the entire 2nd floor was empty, and most of the 1st floor – so I am unclear why getting a room with 2 beds was such a hardship. Also, why were we put so far apart? Geez. There is no breakfast. The linens are old and thread bear needing to be replaced. The shower is old and needing updating, plus the shower head is a little low – so not great for people who are taller than 6’ (which we are). Wifi was good and free. Parking is ample and all around the building. There is laundry vending machine and a communal microwave. If you are looking or a budget motel with no frills – this is the place for you. Inexpensive place to stay.

Room 20 was clean and the beds were comfortable. We had a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, flat screen TV, table and two chairs, bureau and a place to hang some clothes. The sink and mirror were outside the bathroom and I like that. The shower had good pressure without being painful. If I have any complaints at all it would be that when you turn the bathroom light on, the fan also comes on and since we leave the bathroom door open a bit at night so we can see when we get up in the night to go to the bathroom, the fan ran the entire time. It didn't bother us, but it may bother some people. Also, the clock on the microwave did not work correctly and it would not let me change the hour although I could change the minutes. The AC worked well. The price of the room was also very reasonable. They had a book inside with menus of restaurants and that is always a plus. This is not a ”fancy” motel and we were not expecting that.

The friends we went with were particularly convenient from the airport. It was good to take a taxi directly. Then the front desk service was very warm. We stayed at so many hotels and felt that the price/performance ratio in this hotel was still very high.

Having an opportunity to visit in Bangor, I decided to stay at this Holiday Inn. My first impression of the property was positive. Although the hotel looks dated from the outside, there are numerous renovations inside the rooms. Upon checking in, I mentioned that I had mobility issues that precluded me from stepping into a standard bathtub. The front desk clerk was gracious enough to upgrade me to a junior suite with a walk in shower. I was very impressed with this level of customer service. One thing of which to be aware is that the hallways are not typically situated. By that I mean the building is designed in a box pattern. The room I was offered is in the back of the building so I had to drive around and enter in one of the many entrances. Not a problem as my room was just a few steps from this entrance. The room is well equipped with the standard amenities one would expect to find in a full service hotel. The bed was big and comfortable. The only negative aspect I encountered was the fact that the rooms are not totally sound-proof. I was able to hear conversations coming from the room next door. Not a valid reason for not booking at this place, but keep this in mind if total peace and quiet is what you seek. The hotel is situated next to the interstate which makes it easy to come and go. Traffic noise was not an issue. There is a pub and restaurant onsite offering an array of menu choices. Also here is a pool and small workout facility. Overall, my stay was relaxing and I went away quite satisfied. If you are seeking accomodation in the Bangor area, I would recommend the Holiday Inn.
