Terran did a fantastic job even though he had extremely short notice! He was everything we could have wanted and more. When he heard about our situation, he immediately sprang into action and drove 3 hours to set up for our cocktail hour and reception. He showed up looking clean-cut and professional, and he was really sweet about checking on us and making sure we were happy throughout the night. We also sent him our playlists and preferred song lists right before the wedding and he incorporated everything we asked for, plus he read the crowd and added in his own selection that hyped people up and fit the exact vibe we wanted. Honestly our day was almost ruined by the first DJ and we would have been happy to have anyone, so Terran truly could have done no wrong...but after seeing him in action I can confidently say we would have hired him from the start if we had known how good he was. My guests and my husband and I had a blast thanks to Noreast Entertainment making the night absolutely perfect.

We'd never heard of the Charles Inn, and came upon them while booking a long weekend on Expedia…read more It's in a GREAT location in historic downtown Bangor, within walking distance to plenty of shops, restaurants and cafes. There's an adjacent coffee shop so there was the bonus of being greeted with the coffee aroma when entering the lobby. The hotel and café staff were pleasant enough. Bangor, Maine is the hometown of author Stephen King, and The Charles Inn has a Stephen King suite. I took two steps inside, saw the poster of Jack Nicholson in the "heeeeere's Johnny!" scene opposite the bed, and asked for a new room. Not my cup of tea, but apparently it's a very popular request to stay in this suite. While it may sound strange, staying at the hotel reminded me very much of sleeping over at my grandmother's house, where she lived the 40 years I had her -- some quirky things, some good things, some not-so-good things -- antique furniture, gold-framed mirrors, huge windows that didn't block out much noise, curtains that didn't quite close all the way, a toilet than runs constantly unless you jiggle the handle just right, creaky floors, abysmal water pressure, and generally in need of a good cleaning. The fan in the bathroom didn't work, and there was practically no place to hang anything. There was a small rack near the door with three flimsy hangers. Being late fall in Maine, having a place to hang coats and hats is important. We ended up just tossing our things on the bed which was not ideal. Another thing to note is that while "free parking" may be advertised, that translates to "street parking," and depending where you park, the time limit could be 90 minutes, 2 hours, or 4 hours. There is no hotel parking lot. There is a parking garage just down the block, but it's closed and locked on weekends -- so if you park there on a Friday afternoon/ evening, you're not getting out until Monday. The entire parking situation was very odd to me and is important to know for others traveling here. For the proximity to things downtown, I'd recommend the Charles Inn. For me, I'm not sure I'd stay again for the lack of some conveniences. When I'm traveling I'm trying to avoid hassles and annoyances and I can't say that my stay was void of either.

We chose Charles Inn not only because of the price but of its location. In the heart of Main…read moreStreet, everything is walkable! We stayed in the Stephen King Suite (we visited Bangor for the Stephen King tour so we decided go big or go home). The room is themed Stephen King but it isn't over the top. Let's start with the cons: -The amenities were bare and we had to request quite a few packets of shampoo (yes, packets...not bottles. 4 packets barley cleaned my hair). -uncomfortable bed -scary elevator ride -needs an update stat -terrible water pressure Pros: -extremely convenient location -if you're doing the Stephen King tour, the bus picks you up at the hotel -accommodating and friendly staff -pet friendly -walkable and safe -grass near the area to take your pet -cafe inside the lobby -keys to access the building at night One of the things that I loved was that we got in around 1am and they left the keys out for us to enter. We just checked in online and everything was ready. Also, if you're looking into this place because it's HAUNTED, I definitely had a few experiences. The lobby and third floor are said to be haunted. The Stephen King Suite is on the second floor but I had sleep paralysis in this room (last time I had sleep paralysis was in a haunted apartment in Texas over 7 years ago). The lobby creeped me out when I had to take our dog out in the middle of the night. I lit was a very heavy feeling and so I booked it to the elevator. So overall, this hotel is fine. It's a bit dirty and needs an update but everything else is fantastic. For a couple of nights, it isn't so bad.

This is the second time I have stayed and they are great with communication for instructions and access. The rooms are nice for an older building. Yes there may be a few character items within an old building, but for me that is part of the experience! Comfortable beds, clean and quiet during my stay to enjoy an awesome night of rest.

They did not care and did not give the disabled veteran a refund. Scam mentality & not a good business ethically. They also wouldn't release information such as business agent contact information for litigation purposes. Wrong, illegal, and this hotel will still be reported to the courts. (January 2026 Occurrence With Statute of Limitations) P.S. Out of all the hotels in Bangor, go to one that doesn't treat individuals like this. Especially disabled veterans.

Michael did a phenomenal job for our firm's professional headshots. He took our employee's schedule…read moreinto consideration, and was very precise with his process of photography. While he was taking the photos of us, he would have us look at the captured photos on a large high definition screen(maybe 42" screen) that was in the studio. He would ask us what we liked about the photos and what we didn't like. In response to our individual answers, he restructured how he took the following photos and coached us through repositioning ourselves to get the perfect shot. After we took all the photos, he scrolled through them individually flagging the ones we liked. After flagging them, he let me decide on which ones we wanted for processing. His turn around time for the photos was fast, and the quality of the photos portrayed the professionalism my company needed. He is someone who enjoys what he does, and is great at it.

I had the crab cakes which were delicious but small for anyone with an appetite. The salad was fresh and well sized. My husband had the duck and it looked very good, he liked it. I opted for the scallops and risotto- I'd say it was the least tasty of the apps and entrees. Scallops were excellent but the risotto was a bit odd. It was a massive serving with lots of ingredients but lacked flavor. Raspberry Crème Brûlée for dessert was just OK. Love the outdoor rooftop bar. Will try that for a drink before dinner on our next visit. There are cute rooms with pool table, seating and games. Complimentary valet service. Will be back!

Have seen Fielder's Choice before when we stayed in the hotel that is in front of. The shop is behind a hotel on a long drive. Plenty of parking but confusing with the drive through line blocking people in their parking spots. Cool that they have a drive through though. Long line when we arrived but after parking found the line not too bad. The line is under a covering so good news for bad weather. Super windy while on line but boy did s the line fly! Gray painted building with white and red accents, airy feeling and a nice view of the mini golf courseWe waited a total of maybe 10 minutes and we were served. They have an expansive menu with your choice of hard serve or soft serve. I went with a small vanilla and chop twist, hubby his favorite Hot Fudge sundae and grandson has Cake batter with M&M's. Not long after ordering our treats were ready. Service was fast and efficient and with a smile!! Great job on service . Yum!

We had the house wine and tried the pretzel which was enormous and served with a queso and delicious tender, lean pulled pork with house made pickles.

The music is great and at a decent decibel where you're not hearing the ax throwing too much. Will be back again soon
