After a long haul from the tip of Cape Breton Island and nights of camping in the rain, we were looking for a comfortable place to relax at a reasonable price, so we were a bit bewildered about how to distinguish among all of Bangor's chain hotels.
Luckily, as a beta tester for Tripadvisors new mobile app, I was able to enter dates and uncover a substantial weekend price break ($119 vs $163) as well as glowing reviews. An AARP discount dropped our final price even further.
Newly renovated, this hotel offered an extremely comfortable king-sized bed and well designed rooms. What we loved was the friendly and helpful front desk staff, allowing us to extend our check-out until 1 PM so we could take advantage of the first floor coin-op laundry.
The location is easy to get to and, if you don't mind a bunch of chain restaurants, you can eat within minutes.
I can't imagine a better option for a short recuperating stop. Thanks!
