Hollywood Casino Bangor
The tub didnt drain while you showered and the toilet had a hard time flushing. The room beside us screamed, hollered, and slammed doors until 3am. I know that isn't the hotels fault. However, it was aggravating to say the least

Quality Inn Bangor Airport
Bangor Aviator Hotel, BW Premier Collection
I've stayed at this property many times over the decades because it's so convenient for very early flights. I like the most recent owners. The restaurant is decent and the rooms are clean and seem to have been upgraded a bit. Love that they have coffee and cookies in the lobby.

Super 8 by Wyndham Bangor
The coffee was very good. We miss the hot breakfast that was available before covid. The facility is kind of old but its well-kept and very clean.
