We live in Canada - roughly 3 hours from Bangor, Maine - and have been going to Bangor since the mid-1970's for shopping and a getaway. This was our first visit to Bangor in five years. Covid had a big impact on our travel plans. Before that, we had numerous stays at the Vacationland Inn and kept coming back. Some of the recent reviews made us wonder but we do not regret our recent stay and would gladly return. We saw NO EVIDENCE of some of the complaints a couple of reviews raised (eg. did not see people drinking outside or making noise after dark and we had a parking lot drive up room in the “old” part, walked through the parking lot from a nearby restaurant after dark). The room could use an upgrade BUT, for what we paid for a warm room with a comfortable bed and working bathroom, breakfast included waffles – you put the batter in the waffle maker, took it out when cooked, has blueberry and raspberry sauce + whipped cream ALONG WITH OTHER FOOD CHOICES etc. VRS PAYING $$ MORE AT A FANCIER SPOT, we were SATISFIED! Please, consider the price when reading a review. IF YOU WANT A MODERN, SNAZZY ROOM, IT COMES WITH A PRICE MUCH HIGHER! BAD REVIEWS DON'T ALWAYS MEAN “BAD”. It could mean the reviewer expected filet mignon at a hamburg price. And ALL the staff we dealt with (front desk, breakfast room, worker who came to our room to explain the tv setup) were helpful, friendly and polite. The location is great. Minutes away from a Super Walmart, Mardens, Dollar Tree, drug store, grocery store and really close access to a 4 lane highway to get to and from many of Bangor's shopping areas. With the $$ we saved by staying at the Vacationland Inn, we had a GREAT DINNER at the Coach House restaurant right next door. I think reviews are generally very helpful but some require perspective. We stayed at the Vacationland Inn numerous times over the years. Nothing we saw or heard would prevent a future stay.
