Repeat visit: once a year. Breakfast is back and - while not very ambitious - is fresh and non-fattening. Not a chain hotel with all the charm of a smallish place. Ask a room facing the Penobscot river, the view is gorgeous. Very nice personnel.

This was an ideal location for us. We had a relative in the EMMC and it was very convenient for us to walk back and forth to the ICU. The room had 2 comfortable double beds and was clean. The rate was reasonable and included a $5 voucher for breakfast at the hospital's cafeteria. The people at the desk were... More

It's a hotel. We could not get a room in Bangor except at this hotel. When we first arrived, the appearence was a turn-off from the outside entrance and lobby itself. However, our room was clean, had minimal ammenities, standard TV, fridge, coffee maker, etc. It grew on us quickly to be a quality motel, just not pretty. The staff... More

Terrible! This is an old nurses residence building for the Eastern Maine Medical Center. It appears to be used as economy housing for families with loved ones in the hospital for extended periods. It is very old, built in xxxx. It smells musty, and cigarette smoking is allowed near the lobby. The lobby itself is small and dated. The room... More

I've been coming to this hotel since 2003 and am always pleasantly impressed by the niceness of the staff. Rooms are not standard chain fare but immaculately clean; the only thing I miss is a DVD player - but I can live without for 2 weeks.... A plus is the laundry room at the 1st floor.

...and that is a hotel-like facility for chronic-care patients and their families at Eastern Maine Medical Center. Not an actual hotel, but a hotel-like facility, as I discovered when I got what I thought was a GREAT deal on a "king-size suite with whirlpool bath" for just $75. I got even more excited when they gave me the key to... More

Riverside Inn is connected to Eastern Maine Medical Ctr and is primarily occupied by relatives of patients there. I was very disappointed with the facility - the elevator was so small it was almost impossible to fit a wheelchair in and the free breakfast consisted of 2 loaves of bread on a table, a toaster, cold cereal and the weakest...

We were travelling through Maine late at night. Our poor planning left us without a room at 2am.....things were getting ugly. I called multiple hotels in portland, Augusta, and Bangor; everyone was full. We were just about to sleep in the car, which would have been a nightmare since we hd already driven 13 hrs. Fortunately, we called the Riverside... More

The lobby looks like a regular hotel lobby, but the room reminds me of a quaint bed and breakfast. With a small round table, and two mahogany antique chairs. A large television, large dresser, and two beautiful mirrors, all made from mahogany. The mahogany head board on the bed reminds me something from the Victorian era. A very comfortable recliner,...

I have no idea how anyone could say they liked this motel. The minute I walked in the room I started to cry. This was the last motel available in the Bangor area and increase their price did they ever. We had two very small single beds, smallest room I had ever seen and the price was over $100 a... More
