This location, The Charles Inn at Vacationland in Bangor, ME is on your website and allowed me to book 3 rooms and it hasnât been in operation for 2 yrs. I drove 4 hrs with family to arrive and find out we in fact did not have rooms to stay the weekend for my daughterâs college graduation. I had no other option but to look for 3 rooms elsewhere at the last minute and had to pay $1,300 more than I thought I was paying for the first place I thought I had booked. This location needs to be removed from the site so this doesnât happen to anyone else.
The people were very nice with good communication but the room was very hot with no way to cool it off, no cool air and the shower curtain was rank smelling. No breakfast included, very icy outside with no close parking.
It was in a nice location. Close to a lot of restaurants. The themes were a nice idea but there was nothing comfortable about this place. The amenities were the roll of toilet paper and a plastic cup.
My husband and I had a terrible stay here. We were on the top floor of the hotel and all night, about every ten minutes, an extremely loud fan/grinding noise went off (I think something on the roof?). We didn't sleep at all. Around 1am we tried calling two different phone lines, one on the hotel website, one that was posted down by the lobby, to see if we could switch rooms and no one ever called us back. The bed was really uncomfortable and the bottom mattress was dirty. Hardly any water came out of the sink either. I know it's an old hotel, I typically enjoy staying in them, but there's a difference between "old charm" and things just not working or being gross.
I loved the staff! They were extremely helpful! My only complaint is there wasn't ice and there wasn't a small refrigerator in the room (I'm a diabetic and I needed a way to keep my meds cold).
A cute little hotel right in the middle of Bangor! The roome are gorgeous, with antique furniture pieces.
The staff is excellent, very helpful and professional.
Thank you!
The hotel is one of the more historic buildings in the area and has been nicely renovated. We liked the location and the room with the exception of having the sink in the room and not in the bathroom. Parking can be an issue as well.
Very loud, no shampoo, 1/3 of a roll of TP and nothing else. people coming and going all night and morning we maybe got a few hours of sleep. Lots of homeless people around the hotel. Very thin doors and walls. Stay at a chain over this place.
