This was a very ordinary place and priced higher than similar accomodations in the area. The room itself was clean but the tub in the bathroom was old and stained. The room was dark and rather unwelcoming. We will not book here again.

My hats of to the management in this facility! I can see a dramatic improvement! A couple of years ago, I was drawn to this facility by its affordability and location. Overall, my experience that time was "okay". The staff were friendly and courteous, however the facility itself was in need of some major TLC. Upon my arrival last weekend, I was pleased to see the changes that have been made. This time, my room was much more pleasing to the eye & very clean. The bed was very comfortable and a noted upgrade from my las visit. I slept like a babe. I could also tell that the bathroom area had been renovated. The warming lamp is a nice addition, as was the fireplace. My room was plenty big enough for me and the other two guests who stayed with me. It was nice to visit Geaghan's Pub, which is attached to the Fireside. Having the table & two high backed chairs also made a nice place to sit and snack on the leftovers we brought back. The mini-fridge was nice & cold and the microwave & coffee maker were convenient. My two-day stay in room 235 was restful, quiet and definitely well worth its minimal price. I wished I could have stayed an extra night to try my hand at the slots next door at Hollywood Casino, but Monday was calling me home. Maybe next trip; and there WILL be a next trip!

Stayed here as most everything else was booked.Located just a few minutes off interstate 95 the location is 15 minutes from the Bangor Mall.Front desk was very friendly and welcomes guests with free homemade whoopi pies( delicious little chocolate cake confections) however that was the best part of the stay.While the rooms were spacious and beds confortable the level of cleanliness was poor.Dust on top of many services,fingerprint smudges or something all over the armoir,bathroom mirror still had some type of brown splash on it,carpets desperately need a good shampooing to remove caked in dirt along the wall edges.It just kind of seemed like it was only cleaned superfically and not properly in a long time.The " included breakfast" is truly a joke.While there is a restaurant on the premised the included breakfast is just a tiny closet like area where there are a few muffins and some bread in bags on a shelf that you can make toast with.The fruit sits in a basket on top of the fridge that says staff only on it.The coffee machine is in the middle of the hallway facing this closet like are and there is no where to actually consume your so called breakfast but your room-over all just a kind of yuck factor about it so I never actually ate any of it.Would not stay here again unless there really was nothing else in my price range.

From the outside, one doesn't expect much, but the staff is gracious and my room, 205, was dead quiet and had been recently rehabbed. I had the gas fireplace. The place is immaculate, and the attached pub, Geaghan's, pron. Gaygans, was booming after work on a Thursday. But it is not a late place, so if you go later in the evening, it is fine for a quiet end of day drink or meal. I had a burger that was excellent. It is a quick walk to Hollywood, one of those gigantic casinos if you want to lose money. The room had a Keurig coffee machine, so the room coffee was actually good. The Green Mountain coffee thingie said light blend, but it was fine. One thing, the window fully opens, rare these days. Towels are great, bed is that high tech foam stuff, not my favorite, but apparently everyone else's. So, in all, a perfectly fine place to stay once ou get past the outside appearance.

I arrived as the temperatures were reaching 20 below and lower temperatures predicted. The single room was adequate. The beds were temperapedic and wonderful to sleep on! Restaurant bar next to the inn had great seafood and a wide selection of beers.

Clean, staff nice but an overall dump. Others in our party did get a king bed with fireplace so those rooms were nicer... More room. Air very stale...cigarette....ugh! Restaurant good as well as staff but would never recommend staying at this "motel!" Came home with bites from something.
