“A good place for time out.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2011

I am a business man and travel with my wife and a small dog. I look for quiet, location, and a welcoming warm feeling. This family operation is all of the above and more. Bucksport is a small seacoast town on the Penobscot River in Maine. It is a half hour from Bucksport, University of Maine, and just a bit more to Acadia National Park. It is open all year and for those who know Maine, it is at the edge of the "real" northern Maine forest. Fisherman, paper mills, woodsman, canoe builders (Old Town), and something for everyone. Its hidden away downtown, near Verona Island and the spectacular Vernona Bridge, a relative to the beautiful Bridge which welcomes you to Boston. Fort Knox sits in the bay across from the town and large boats navigate the river as far as Bangor. At the end of the driveway there is Dunkin donuts, a few fast few offerings, and downtown has a great book store, a nice clothing store, a small theatre, and a great walk along the river. The motel is clean with a variety of accomodatins, some with microwave, refrigerators, and an ambiance back to the 50;s. Some solar panels fit into the constant upgrading. No pretense, but a wonderful family operation.Hard working people, accomodating and kind staff the motel. I am a repeat guest so they recognize my family and welcome us when we call. Not fancy, but convenient, a place for a good nights sleep, quiet guests and on a good size chunk of property where you can walk around and relax. If you need a nice get away, not fancy, but very adequate, than visit this gem on the coast of Northern Maine. Think Lobster Dinners, Fried Clams, all very fresh, sometimes off the boat. Think rest and time out while being in the middle of a wonderland of quaintold Maine without the glitz of fast lane urban life Meet some great people along your way and enjoy going to Liberty Tools for old tools, or antique stores all along route 1. The Bucksport Motor Inn is my choice when I get a chance. bob kantar, SCC

Room Tip: Front of motel is good/ back is more isolated and more private.

“Good value for the money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011

We showed up here at four o'clock in the afternoon looking for a place for the night. Because of some business, my husband had to have Wi-Fi and 2) it was the first night of the World Series so Fox Sports was a must. This place had both and was neat and clean to boot! Great value for the money!

“Such a quaint, comfortable inn run by kind people.”

We spent a week here while in Bucksport this summer. I had expected a run-down "motor inn," but was taken by surprise by the comfort and cleanliness of the rooms and the grounds. An added bonus: the owners were extremely helpful and friendly.

“Clean, no frills, comfy beds”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2011 via mobile

The last time we traveled to Bangor we stopped here and our experience was that it was clean and suitable. We went back on a shopping trip to Bangor and booked there again. It is about 1/2 hour drive from Bangor but when I went to make reservations the hotels left available in Bangor were approximately $150 - $170 per night. If you are out all day I don't see the need to pay double simply to sleep.
The check in was seamless, owners friendly, room clean, beds comfortable, fridge and microwave in the room. We got a room at the back which I found noisy (someone above had friends in at 1:00 am for an hour???) and you could hear people plainly talking. Thankfully I had brought an iPod and earphones with me. So I would ask for a room at the front if staying again.

“A wonderful little inn - we had an awesome stay here!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 September 2011

We were on a cross country trip from Michigan to Maine and had picked this inn for a 3-day resting spot. We are so glad we did. The rooms were clean and comfortable. It is located in a quiet little town with a beautiful walkway along the water and some decent restaurants. The inn had a Dunkin Donuts just a stones throw away and a grocery store a short walk away. The room had a microwave and a refrigerator so we were able to get some healthy food to keep in the room rather than always eating out which was a nice option. We took side trips to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park but it was really nice to come back to the relative peace and quiet of the Inn every night. We also visited the Fort Knox and Observatory Tower on the bridge that leads into Bucksport. There was a laundromat on the other end of town which was great for us since you can't store a lot of clothes on the motorcycle. The owners were very nice and accommodating. We would definitely stay there again.

Room Tip: Dunkin Donuts traffic can be a little noisy on that side of the hotel early in the am, it would be q...
