My goodness, what a great place!! If I could give it 10 stars, I would. Absolutely, definitely stay here but book early. When I got there at the height of summer, they were totally booked. So, before anything else I want to point out something that really meant a lot to me. I have multiple sclerosis and I forgot to ask for a handicap room. The room had two grab bars in the tub which was amazing! Generally, the world doesn't automatically think of people with mobility issues, but this place did. Otherwise, beautiful place with a lovely room. The room was clean, spacious, well appointed and was well lit with a nice window out front. Check-in was easy and the people who work there are very nice. The gentleman cleaning my room was outside when I was putting my duffel bag back up in the cargo carrier on top of my car and came right over to help me. Like I said, 10 out of 10! read more

See all

What a hidden gem this place is. Out of state event and we had no idea where to stay. So glad we found this inn. No frills but clean as ever. Hubby said he's never seen a tub as white & clean. Bed was comfy with great linens & pillows. Free wifi, quiet spot with coffee in the room, cute small fridge & small microwave. There's a Hanniford across the street & dunks right next door. Staff is super friendly. Vending machine in lobby but I only saw water & drinks. Chips & candy would have been nice but again there's a store very close. Definitely gonna save this place for nxt visit to Maine. read more

I did not stay here, but read about your kindness to a 3 year old who left her bunny behind on Reddit, I would travel to Bucksport just to visit this hotel! The housekeeping, maintenance managers and owners all must truly care about their guests. Wonderful people in this world, thank you for such a happy moment in my day! read more

Bucksport Inn - Unbelievable kindness by hotel staff to a young guest who left her bunny behind!! - Hotels Near Me - Bucksport, Maine

We stay as a stopover prior to traveling on the CAT. Very reasonable price. This place is SPOTLESS! Well maintained with comfy beds, tile job in bathroom is retro and perfect! Water pressure is outstanding! Nice little hiking path in the back with cute birdhouses. The staff is super nice and helpful. Highly recommend' read more

We stopped on our way to Nova Scotia and what a charming wonderful place. It is so clean, welcoming and we even met Michael who takes care of the place with love and care and the owners as well. We would definitely come back and the town is just as adorable. They gave us great restaurant recommendations and it couldn't have been better. read more

Super clean, fresh and convenient! We loved everything about this inn. Parking is brilliant, the retro look is fabulous along with the new / retro room refrigerators!! Truly a treat for us and a fabulous price! read more

This motor inn is well kept and clean. It is only one hour away from Acadia NP and Bar Harbor. If you are looking for value away from the highly commercialized tourist places, this is it. There are several good places to eat nearby and a nice river walk with a view of the bridge and fort close by. I would give it five stars except the bed pillows are fairly flat and the room's coffee cups are flimsy, hard to hold and hot. read more

We stayed at The Bucksport Inn on our way to Canada . What an amazing hidden gem . Owners were so nice and the rooms were so clean and look to be updated . Although we only stayed one night , we are planning to come back to this area to do some exploring and know right we're we will stay . read more

Needed (or hoped to find) a budget spot to overnight for a business layover. The BMI was that place. Clean, quiet, and affordable. It's not a luxury inn, so if you need that, find another place to lay your head. But for me, in town to catch a documentary about the closure of yet another paper mill (for an article I've been working on), I got to park my car and walk uptown and then back. Bonus was seeing the Penobscot Narrows Bridge at night, lit up like a giant Christmas decoration. Nice to actually put some boots (shoes) on the ground in writing about a place the way it's supposed to be done, even in these days of journalism-by-Twitter. Being so close to Dunkin' Donuts for my morning coffee (just walk to the end of the driveway and take a left), and across the street from a Hannaford were perks for me. I'd say if you were looking to stage a drive down (yes, flatlander, it's "down") the Maine coast to Acadia, or points east, this would be a good place to lay-up for the night. A walk downtown to catch a movie at The Alamo Theater, or sitting out on the patio at Verona Wine and Design, or grabbing a book at BookStacks would be recommendations other than sitting in your room and watching the television. Sit at the bar at MacLeod's, or have a bowl of their chowder. Back up Route 1 to Camden, rested and ready for my day. read more

Traveling without a scheduled itinerary, my wife and I were unable to find reasonably priced, or virtually ANY lodging near the Bar Harbor/Acadia Nat'l. Park area. Came across this operation within 20-30 miles, called, and was pleasantly surprised with the positive, accommodating reception on the phone. While definitely an original motor-lodge type throw-back, the facilities had been tastefully updated, and was meticulously clean. Following our stay, we initially encountered a problematic misunderstanding as a result of an innocent accident that we had in the room. Once communicated, however, the owner's understanding and willingness to accept our (honest) explanation resulted in what I hope was a mutually beneficial, and gracious outcome. If I'm ever in the area again, I will return. GREAT PLACE-GREAT PEOPLE! read more

This Inn is quiet, clean and convenient. Dog friendly! Very helpful and friendly staff. Recently updated rooms which still feel cozy. The beds are extremely comfortable. We were able to see the town's 4th of July fireworks from the front lawn of the property! we also picnic tables and Adirondack chairs dot the property. Dunkin Donuts and grocery store are walking distance. Fort Knox park is on the river just a few minutes drive. Highly recommend. read more

This place is fantastic. Decorated in period style and true to period trimmings, Everything is clean neat and tidy. Staff are very friendly. Located close to Cadillac Mountain. Quaint little place to stay read more

Loved it! Clean and updated motel that still has that 50s vibe. Don't hesitate to stay here. They aim to please and it shows.

When my husband and I were thinking about moving to Maine, we chose to stay at Bucksport Motor Inn for the week. It was adorable, super clean, comfortable, close to everything and the owners were so nice. When we bought our house and moved here a few months later, we stayed with them again for almost a week while our house was being de-winterized and some urgent repairs were done. It was just as great the second time! I would not hesitate to recommend the motor inn to anyone visiting the area. read more

Sweet little place, nice people/owners (Val), very comfortable, good price. Nice place for motorcycles -level lot, park outside your door. The motel is set up a bit above route 1 (the main drag heading to Ellsworth) - because it is up off the street, street noise is truly minimal. There's a Dunkin Donuts directly below that you can reach from its parking lot walking. Convenient location. read more

Great service. I checked out and forgot my wallet in the room. I was on a bike trip and they drove my wallet to me while I was on the road, 12 miles away. Thank You!!! read more

Ever since this had new owners a few years back everything is awesome and the rooms are like a nice chain hotel. Well done!

I chose this motel by the photo, since it looked so charmingly retro, and the price was reasonable. When we arrived, we got a friendly greeting, and found that the inside looked as good as the exterior. The room was comfortable, and had everything we expected. The location is very convenient, and I loved having my car right outside the door. read more

Say yes to nice We agree with all the nice things said about this well kept motel We were very pleased with our clean and comfortable room and the hospitality of our truly gracious hosts This vintage motel was perfect for a couple of vintage travelers The price was A true value We did not need fancy or luxury. We could rest and we left refreshed for more travel I wish all the hotels and motels could be this clean at any price I would gladly stay here again read more

Stayed at the Inn for four nights while touring the area. Our host, the owner, gave us some good tips as to what to see locally beside going to Acadia National Park. We travel with our dog and she was welcomed. The owner also suggested a place that does doggie daycare on the days we needed. The Inn is very clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay if we were to return to the area. read more

Jim B.'s review is spot on! great location, CLEAN, although many might say dated - but again CLEAN & comfortable & quiet - even with folks in the rooms next door - would easily return if passed thru Bucksport again read more

Wow, what a great find. A real relief from the overpriced B&B's in this area. Sparkling clean spacious rooms. Fridge, microwave, Keurig, flat screen TV and Wi-Fi in rooms. Adjacent to Dunkin doughnuts and across the street from grocery store. Our room had two queen beds and we paid $79 with a AAA discount. An old fashioned but updated Motel that will keep you coming back. read more

I would have given this motel five stars in that the rooms were decent and well furnished with necessities, the people extremely friendly and the Motor Inn is conveniently placed with access to a supermarket and various eateries in the area. While true to its DNA as a 1950's/'60's typical road motel (back to the era when Howard Johnson's was the place to eat when travelling) the owners have done a tremendous job bringing the rooms up to date with appealing bathrooms in which all the plumbing works perfectly, and with a simple but appealing decor. Cleanliness is top of the line. My only quibble, and hence my reluctance to give the place the full five stars it should have, is that the beds themselves are way too soft and I recommended to the owner/manager that he should consider updating them with firmer mattresses. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip up North. Oh, and by the way, the prices are reasonable... read more

Spotlessly clean, comfortable, and quiet motel with great owners who will go above and beyond for you. Each room has a coffee machine, flat screen tv, and wi-fi. I do a lot of traveling and gladly recommend this motel! read more

They tried to rip me off! I booked the room on Expedia for $49. I didn't bother to read the confirmation email which listed the price as "CA$69.00 ($49.04)." I have no idea why; I'm American logging in from the US and paying with a US credit card. Normally, when I book on Expedia, I pay online and that's that--I pay Expedia and Expedia pays the hotel. But here, I booked as usual (with a credit card) but apparently with this one, that's not the case. The hotel collects the money. Fine but when I went to pay, they insisted that the price was $69, not $69 Canadian but $69 US. After much argument, they agreed to charge $49. Then, when I was sitting in my car and about to leave, the owner came out again and yelled again that the price was $69. Really upsetting and I find it hard to believe that this was anything other than a deliberate attempt to rip me off. The placard on the wall in the room listed the price as $55. That said, I had no problems with the room itself but I would never go back there. read more

My wife and I stayed at Bucksport Motor Inn this past week because it was on the way to Bar Harbor, and very inexpensive. What we found was that it was also clean, neat, comfortable, and beautifully laid out in a 1950's retro look. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful over the phone, and called me several times to be sure an original snafu was straightened out to my satisfaction, and gave me a 10% discount for my trouble. The room was large and freshly painted. We have decided that if we ever need to stay anywhere in that area that we would go back, and recommend it to our friends. read more
