Worth having a room overlooking the Penobscot Narrows Bridge. Very limited choice of restaurants in Bucksport, and if you're staying at the weekend or a holiday, make a dinner reservation before your trip.

This was a handy place to be during the Fall. We were close enough to Acadia to drive over for a day of seeing the park, and far enough away to be more economical. Even though they did not serve breakfast, we had instant oatmeal with us that filled the gap.

The only thing that kept my stay from being excellent all the way around were the mattresses being too soft. Otherwise, it was an excellent stay.

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!

This was a very old property. Okay to spend one night in but for the price I would expect more comfort. We had to sleep on the bed upside down because it sloped toward the wall. The mattresses have not been changed out in a very long time. The pillows were very uncomfortable.

Limited choice and number of restaurants nearby - arrived on a Saturday evening and (because there were no tables for quite some time) ended up with a rotisserie chicken and salad in our room.
