• Nice hot breakfast buffet. Older but clean rooms.
• They were out of cookies when we checked in (11:00 pm)

“We stayed in a regular room (so I can't comment on the the theme rooms). It was older, but clean and felt updated as far as paint, bedding and bathroom fixtures went. They had a nice buffet breakfast, considering it was free, with omelets and sausages (on a steam table), make your own waffles, cold cereal, yogurt, baked beans! (maybe it is a Maine thing), some fruit (bananas and oranges) and bagels, toast and some insipid pastries. Check in and out was quick--staff were courteous.”

• The room was quiet, the pool was heated and clean, the breakfast was wonderful.
• The room smelled musty, the pool had too much chlorine, a landfill close by.

“The motel room was old, but clean. However, the room had a strange musty odor, like your grandmother's old wooden dresser--damp and musty. Across the highway is a huge landfill site that has a very unpleasant odor if the breeze is blowing a certain way. Sickening really--huge turnoff, which is a shame, because I am sure this motel must have been really something in its day. The room was convenient for us with our dog, as it was ground level. Another plus about this motel is that wide paths were mowed in a bordering field and the dog really liked walking on the long and meandering path. I thought it was a bit much to charge us $10 for the dog and another $10 for my 21yr old daughter who stayed in the room with us. The public areas were well-cared for, clean and pleasant. The breakfast was second to none and the hot tub was absolutely wonderful.”

• Great hospitality, quality continental breakfast & cookies at check-in. Free computer, internet, printer access.
• 3rd floor room had only a skylight in a low, slanted ceiling.

“This hotel is not for those who require or expect luxury or nearby shopping and amenities, but overall, this was one of the friendliest, most accommodating places we stayed in our 14 night trip. It was several miles from Bangor, but had easy interstate access. The business center was small but had everything we needed - free! The giant cookies at check-in and the short bios of the US Presidents' wives in the hallway were unexpected treats.”

• Whitehouse/presidential history/trivia theme.
• Weak WiFi signal! Public computer with no open USB for thumb drive!

“Loved the hotel! Hated the weak wireless signal! I travel with a desktop pc. I couldn't send an important file to my home office. The public computers in the business center had no way to load a copy of the file from a USB thumb drive on to their PC so I could email the file. I had to find a public library to mail my file!”

• Location.
• Room was smelly beds old and uncomfortable.

“Dated facility right off of major highway. It works if only staying one night. Staff quite helpful. Rooms had a smell cannot really describe the type of smell you find in older facilities.”

• Good value for budget travel, good gym and there was a breakfast included.
• Bit isolated from town, road noise from nearby I95 for rooms on one side of the building.

“Fair value for budget hotel.”

• Cleanliness, efficient check in Spa.
• Noise level from other rooms and room overhead unacceptable.

“I was so impressed with the check in and the cleanliness. My stay went very sour when the room above mine came into use! The noise was terrible! The walls at this hotel are paper thin as far as noise goes. I asked for a different room at 12:30 A.M. and was told none were available. It made for a very long night and ruined my stay.”

• It was a convenient location at a good price.
• There was only a skylight window in the room and bathroom was very small.

“Not bad for the price. There is nothing in Bangor. Just went for grandson's basketball game. Workout facilities were good, continental breakfast okay, lounge not too good.”

• The staff was amazing! A family run hotel that makes you feel like family.
• Room was beautiful but small.

“A great hotel for the price. An interesting concept with the presidential theme. I highly recommend this hotel based on the hotel staff alone. They were so friendly. The room was small but well equipped with a four post bed and a fire place. We will go back!”

• The view of the landfill and Dysart¿s truck-yard were breath-taking.
• The smell of the landfill and Dysart¿s truck-yard were break taking.

“Overall, the room was nice. Of the three different hotels we had to stay in this weekend, the Whitehouse was by far the nicest room-wise. Location wise sandwiched between a large Dysart¿s gas-station and the local land-fill left a bit to be desired. But the cookies were good!”

• The price.
• Most of the staff.

“It was half-way for a weekend, family visit with children ranging from 1-9 years old. I would strongly suggest that you do not stay here with children. A few of the staff were friendly; however the two that we caution you about were very nasty to both the adults and the children. This is not a child-friendly spot, and this is very obvious!”

• Leaving.
• Going there.

“We got to the hotel around 8.00 we watch some television our children fell asleep around nine. We had dozed off when around midnight we heard thumping giggling and screaming. This lasted until 3.00 in the morning. No I was not happy nor did we get any sleep. But we stayed till the next morning feeling we were stuck there.”

• Very clean and quiet,
• No restaurant, sauna not working, drafty rooms.

“The staff was very courteous and even though the hotel was quit busy, it was very quiet. It is under renovations but it is quite apparent that it will be spectacular. I booked this room for two reasons. One approximate to everything, which it has. 2 swimming pools, unfortunately is seasonal. If the web site was more accurate with this fact I would have chosen a different hotel. I did not like the fact that there was no restaurant in the facility. On check out day, the parade of staff to my room door started at 8:15 am. The maid and maintenance staff was under the impression that we had already checked out. This equals poor communication. I would recommend this hotel to business travelers only.”

• Helpful staff.
• Third floor, slanted walls, only one skylight for a window, no water pressure.

“Clean, friendly, but not the best value that I have received. Nothing special, old bedding, and hard beds. The night before I stayed at the Sheraton, which was very comfortable. ”

• It was clean and very conmfortable for ur stay. I would recommend this hotel to anyone going to Bangor and I will for sure stay here again.
• The pillows were very uncomfortable. No listings in the room for any restaurants and directions to get to them.

“This hotel had all the great features you would find at a four star hotel. We could not have found a better place for the price we paid.”
