Orono Hotels

clean helpful and friendly staff conveniently located

My boyfriend and I visited the Orono area around the Fourth of July. He chose the hotel because of it's close proximity to the university campus. We LOVED the view from the hotel toward the river, the ability to walk downtown to restaurants and the SIP AND DIP! We chose to come back in early August, just to spend more time at the hotel and we plan on returning in November. Thanks for a great stay!

A second floor balcony view looking over the green lawn and Stillwater River into downtown Orono IS a travel poster. Location, location, and the true desire to please their guests. Ten years ago this was a cheap dump to stay a night. But the new owners have made it a class act! Three impressionist renderings of Boston have replaced faded flower prints in a room we've had before. The latest upgrade has changed the bathrooms from aged chipped tiled utilitarian to faux Traverteen floors with curved shower rods and color co-ordinated decorator shower curtains. The exhaust fan is more than sufficient to keep long steamy showers from sneaking into the room. The pride of ownership shows. Day or night, the staff (including the housekeeping staff) could not be more considerate and friendly. Wifi now works in the rooms, but there is still a lack of outlets for keeping the laptop and cell phone charged. At Christmas time you shouldn't miss the floor to ceiling Christmas tree which dominates the glass walled and sunlit lobby. Having 3 kids go through U Maine we have stayed in many of the Hotels in the Greater Bangor area over the last 10 years. This is our favorite.

Clean, comfortable, friendly staff, great price on Hotwire.

We checked in after midnight the front desk clerk was very helpful. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable.

Location

The hotel was clean and comfortable upon our arrival , however our air conditioner did not work, bed was very uncomfortable and pillows were worse than couch pillow. Was the worst

Room was clean and very comfortable.

Reservation made 4 months earlier. Room given overlooked the air conditioning units on top of roof. Great view for a room at the Hilton! No complimentary coffee in lobby

Clean Room

Difficult parking. If traveling with kids, they make you sign a waiver to not leave them alone if under 16. This may put a damper on mom and dads plans to go to the casino.

Room was large and comfortable.

Hotel clerk called our room thirty minutes after we arrived and we were just about asleep for an afternoon nap.

Staff is very fiendly

Food is terrible

Easy access from the highway. Staff was nice and friendly.

Asked for a quiet room but seemed to be directly across the hall from 2 couples that had 2 different rooms but enjoyed visiting each others room especially in the early am. Also bed was to soft for my liking but I didn't request anything special but wasn't asked either.

Lobby & Bar

Some of the decor

Cool character, has an older boarding house feel. Excellent place to spend a night or two if you want to be in the middle of it all. Not a chain, it is everything they are not, both in good and bad ways.

Warm room, too warm even with the ac on.

location was central to airport, colleges and shopping

I didn't have any problems with my room or stay

Helpful desk staff and breakfast employees

Nothing

Clean rooms, friendly and accommodating staff, great restaurant.

Somewhat dated.

Nice breakfast setup and selection In room air conditioner was very quiet.

My air connections were fouled up in Phoenix such that I was unable to make my prepaid reservation in Bangor--the Fairfield Inn could not have been more accommodating under this circumstance. Thanks.

Stayed here to meet our son as his troop was stopping overnight on the way to deployment. Good value, good food, friendly staff. Even though our room was facing the runway, it was very quiet.

Lounge and dining room furnishings were tired--could use an update.

Restaurant and staff very good

Nothing

Rooms were clean and easily accessible from parking lot. If you check in late night, Parking was kind of crowded and may have to walk.

Continental breakfast was poor. Rode way inn across the street was 35 dollars cheaper per night and had a way better breakfast.

The bed was above standard. Many services both within the room as well as in the area.

Vacuum the carpets, please

The hotel needed to be updated more. There was no place to plug in my cell phone or the extra chargers that we bought. Also a hit tub would of have been nice.

I chose this hotel because they offer a free shuttle service to and from the concert. What a great service! We had dinner at the hotel restaurant - which was good. Free breakfast buffet in the morning. And free Wi-fi. Overall I'd recommend. Would stay here again.

I don't like that the funds on my card were held twice (one as a pre-authorization and one for the settlement). The bed wasn't too comfy, but that's minor.

The location was ideal, but its a very small town.

It was dusty! The glass looked like someone licked all over it. We checked in with Logan - who was by himself and obviously freaking out with people in front of him and the phone ringing. We flew in for a 10 hour music event, so naturally myself and many others were going to check in after he concert. Shame on management to leave this guy hanging! He did a good job, I think he just was overwhelmed. Business section (printers) didn't work - they were repairing the front lobby with glue and clamps, it was a hot mess

Clean

Getting woke by cleaner And banging head off low slanting roof by desk is a pain

quiet

charge $25 on debit card for nothng

Comparatively inexpensive, convenient to Downtown Bangor and airport, quiet and clean.

Beautiful view. Comfy gas fireplace. Relaxing whirlpool bath. Large room. Terrific restaurant! (Salmon for dinner.) Friendly and helpful staff (Andre) Nice breakfast. Quiet.

Windows needed cleaning. Clock wasn't plugged in. Would have been nice to have been able to check in at Sunday brunch.

The gas fireplace in a $99 room was a happy surprise

chimney was noisey due to a wind storm....

Not Much of anything except I did like that the sink was separated from the bathroom toilet. makes it easier for more than one person to get ready to go out.

sheets were old and looked dirty. there was someone else's dirty towel hanging on the back of the bathroom door. bathtub was disgusting. would not return

The price was great. Had basic accommodations such as free WiFi and cable.

Rooms are accessed from the outside, so parking lot noise can be a problem.

Thank you for being so helpful even my daughter left her stuffed Wolf. You kept it safe for our return.

Just a little dated. And the breakfast was not the best but I was surprised that Super 8 even had it so that was nice.

Amazing quality for great price. To be honest I was expecting a lot less due to how much I was paying. I was wrong. Nice rooms and comfy beds.

One staff member was a little rude and didn't come off as very knowledgeable. Made offense comments about political and social issues.

Location was great for our next day trip to Canada. We could travel with our dogs and places to eat were nearby.

It is a very basic motel but it met our needs.

This is just a cheap hotel. No shampoo provided. Cable television came in awful. No cups provided. Tacky and terrible furniture.

Price is only good thing.

We checked in and the owner charged my debit card even though I already paid online.. she apologized and refunded but the charge is still "pending" 3 days later and the whole check in process was a mess, we get to our economy room and it reaks and has 4 flies the only upside was we asked the kind man at the front desk to switch and he let us

Economy rooms smell have flies and are old and Not clean

We got a great price on a room at the last minute and didn't expect it would be anything special. We were really pleased with the nice Maine woods decor, regional magazines in the room, and complimentary breakfast with make-your-own waffles with fresh blueberry sauce. Nice touches all around made this a very pleasant stay.

Awesome beds!

Comfort and cleanliness.

The price.

Consistently friendly clean and great breakfast

Always a great experience for us. They go out of their way for breakfast and social hour.

Beautiful hotel and not bad for the price, room was clean although smaller than expected, had to change rooms upon arrival due to strange heater / air conditioning noise in the ceiling of the first room. Breakfast was nice, but it gets over super early at 9:30 in the morning.

Staff is fairly snooty, they act like this hotel is the four seasons, which is fairly laughable. If you smoke, be advised that the entire property is non-smoking, and staff will rudely tell you to leave the property. Yeah overall would have rated this hotel much higher if their staff had had any manners or tact. The hotel itself is very nice, but the basic king suite is much smaller than it looks in the photos.

Convenient place to stay and we have been staying at the Country Inn for quite a few years. Not happy and probably will not stay at the Country Inn Bangor Maine again.

In three nights we moved to 3 rooms. 2 rooms the air conditioner did not work. I saw a bedbug run across the counter. Bedbugs leave a residue along the bottom of the bed skirts. All 3 rooms which had 2 beds each had this trail the bedbugs leave.

In town, close to everything, but feels private and out of the way. Quiet, clean, great complimentary breakfast including hot food.

The hotel was very clean and the staff very friendly. I would certainly return here.
