The Charles Inn at West Market Square. A charming small hotel located at the center of restored downtown Bangor. Good sized, clean, comfortable rooms. A half-dozen or more good pubs and restraunts within a one block radius, with many more restraunts and shops within easy walking distance. My room had some street noise in the evening (Friday) but was pleasantly... more

The hotel is very unique, as no two rooms are too much a like. The furniture is an older look that ties in with Bangors whole atmosphere. It has really preservered the historic atmosphere. It has a wonderful art collection around the lobby. Also an entertainment room with a computer so you can check your email, as well as borrow... more

You can't beat the location in downtown Bangor compared to having to stay out by the airport. It's easy walking distance to the riverfront park and near downtown restaurants. Everything's a little old, but clean with good service. Free wi-fi in the lobby is a bonus and the continental breakfast had more selection than most. Window A/C worked well. Spacious... more

I stayed in this hotel because I had to spend the night in Bangor coming from Canada by bus and to resume my trip the next morning by Greyhound. The inn is really old and its age is showing. They are still using keys in this inn instead of the smart cards to open the room's door. The room I... more

It looks super old and they clearly haven't updated anything ever. The bed was uncomfortable and although there was no visible dirt, it didn't feel very clean. The A/C was barely functioning. more

This hotel is a casual and quiet place to stay if you can handle a bit of fray around the edges. Contrary to the reviews I've read here, The Charles does not stink, the host is not a harridan and the dog is adorable. I'm writing this as I sit in the well lit lounge, using the free wi-fi and... more

The hotel is kinda cute - as mentioned previously, it is operated by the owners and they are trying really hard. The manager met me on the reception and she was very friendly and helpful. I got a room right off the reception area, which I was a little worried about on account of noise, but it was fine. The... more

Found this wonderful hotel on the internet. Although I was a bit hesistant due to the "mixed" reviews...I trusted what the favorable reviews stated..and won. Meeting a gf there, and not knowing the area, as soon as I got in town I had placed a call to the hotel to see if she had gotten there yet. She had, but... more

We stayed at this hotel for a 2 day holiday. We love hotels with character and this one is charming. Congratulations to the owner for keeping a landmark property open. Granted it needs TLC but we loved the downtown location and the friendly atmosphere. This is the type of accommodation which is memorable, not the "everyroom sameness" of the chain... more
