They nee to tear this place down or update it. It is cheap but still on $30 cheaper then the Econolodge is the same area and has nothing to offer. Maybe some free gross coffee.
We stayed here for 1 night on our way to Mount Desert Island. We just needed a place to sleep so we got the cheapest we could find. If that is all you are looking for then this would do. We had a smoking room which was probably our first mistake. The room stunk like someone had chained smoked in there for months but it also had a real musty odour. There were burn marks on the rug. The sheets seemed clean though. The beds are old, squeaky and have loose springs. The bathroom was horrific. As for the service I waited at the least 5-10 minutes for front desk service. All in all I do not recommend this motel nor will I ever stay here again.

I have stayed at many Motel 6 locations throughout the US and more often than not I was pleasantly surprised. Not so at this Motel 6. Although service provided at check in was friendly, the rooms look dirty, old and worn. They smell of smoke and dirty carpet, in spite of the fact that supposedly we got a non-smoking room. The carpet looked as if it had not been vacuumed in a long time, especially the harder to reach spots. The whole hotel has an unpleasant and kind of a scary feeling. As was mentioned by some others, the pillows are very thin. There were various long black hairs on the towels.

I'd like to start by saying that I booked this hotel with low expectations - I didn't expect a Hilton hotel for $65.00 a night. I have stayed at Motel 6 (Portsmouth, NH = 5 stars for a 1 star price) locations before and have been thoroughly impressed with the quality & affordability. The Motel 6 in Bangor, however, was consistently disappointing.

We booked this Motel 6 room for a late night check-in/layover on the drive to Massachusetts. At the top of the stairs leading to the front-facing second floor rooms there was a sizeable blood stain (I say blood stain with confidence that it wasn't just a red liquid... it was very obviously blood). The carpet of our room was stained and dirty, there was a single pain killer pill sitting in the middle of the floor, the bath tub and sink counter were stained, and the beds (although freshly made and comfortable) were questionable and we slept on top of the blankets just in case. There was a large hole in the bottom corner of our front door that a small mouse could have easily fit through and the curtain on the window didn't quite fit.

The location of the hotel is good - just a few minutes from downtown Bangor and across the street from a Mobil gas station, and our room was equipped with a mini-fridge and microwave. However these few perks definitely did NOT balance out the downfalls. I will NOT be returning to Motel 6 Bangor.

After reading online that the rooms had been "refreshed" I was very disappointed to see no improvements what so ever to the room we were given. The carpet looked dirty. It was fairly quiet for sleeping though. It wasn't until the next morning , when I went to use the shower, that I found several long hairs in the bathtub. Neither of us has long hair, nor do we have dark hair. I will say that the girl that checked us in was very friendly and she even delivered a couple of extra pillows to our room as I had requested them on our reservation. We probably got our money's worth, but the dirty bathtub really turned me off.
