“Great Place to Stay”

Reviewed 18 June 2013 NEW

The staff here is especially friendly. We had a nice room with double queen beds that were very comfortable. My son was very happy that he had a real bed to sleep in instead of a pull out couch. We would stay here again.

“OWNERS - You need to give this property some TLC”

I think the staff was very friendly and easy to work with. You have a great group of employees there and should definitely be proud. What they are NOT in control of is your lack of attention to this property. The carpet in our room was folded over in many spots, ceilings are coming apart, the room smelled musty and... More

“Friendliest Hotel EVER!”

Reviewed 15 June 2013 NEW via mobile

This is a GEM of a hotel. From the minute we walked in we were greeted by a genuinely friendly front desk staff. The hotel is impeccably maintained. We booked the double suite (for $10 more) and our room was freshly updated, spacious and included a fridge, microwave, a Keurig Coffee Maker and large screen HD TV. We were traveling... More

“Special Olympics”

Reviewed 14 June 2013 NEW

Each year my husband and I attend the Special Olympics in Orono to honor my brothers. We have a 4 hour drive from our home - although the drive is not too long it still takes its toll on us physically. Friday nights we are exhausted after attending the opening ceremonies and look forward to sleep. This year we did... More

“We will return here for certain!”

Reviewed 31 May 2013

You know, we have driven past this place for years, and so yesterday evening I decided to head on in and see what they had to offer. We were not disappointed. While we did not try the restaurant, which we have heard good things about, the rest of the property is certainly clean, tidy, and safe. The staff were all... More

“The only show in town.”

There aren't many places to stay in this part of Maine so the Black Bear Inn should be getting a lot of business. The hotel is clean and situated close to a number of restaurants. The staff is fine. The only downside of the hotel is that it was not built well. Some of the hallways creak as you walk... More

“Zzzzz”

We were working a meeting at the inn and stayed there the night before. The room was adequate, although a bit tired. It seemed a bit overpriced [$160 plus tax] for the quality [and smell...musty]. We had some problems with program materials, and the staff were wonderful at trying to help. They just didn't have much to work with. Their... More

Great stay. Staff was top notch. Always greeted with a smile by everyone from the front desk to the housekeepers. Beds were comfortable with nice pillows. Breakfast was basic but nice and the coffee was great. Loved having a Keurig in our room. Will stay here again.
