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.

Somehow I either put wong date in computer or it got mixed up, so I was a day early. Between lady at front desk and Expedia with a simple phone call they fixed it with no penalty charge snd we had a room. Thank you Fort Knox park inn and also Expedia for making it right for me.
