There's not much to do around the area unless you're really into Bangor. What I was really put-off with was we had to pay $9.99, per DEVICE!, per DAY! for Internet access. It seemed to me like the area was in a "dead zone" for cell service. So, we needed to access their wi-fi if we wanted to check emails or stream at night. We paid for three nights to get a discount, even though we only stayed two nights. Won't be back to this place.

Ranger Inn is an extended stay hotel on the outskirts of Bangor near the airport. There are one…read moreand two room places with a bathroom and a shower. Some rooms furnished and other rooms ready for your furniture. They provide a small refrigerator and a small microwave, tv with wifi and minimal linens. The furniture is seriously modest-like from the good will and there are overhead lights but no small lamps, no coffee maker or pans or nothing. There is no housekeeping or change of linens. In short, Ranger Inn is a very humble way-station for those you who are mostly needing a temporary shelter. The most affordable, well run, safe little community in the area. No one there is fancy. Dogs are allowed and there are laundry facilities on the premises. This is a place that many folks call home-some for years-some are only there because they have financial assistance-some waiting for a more permanent home. But by no means is Ranger Inn a flop shop overrun by folks who do not care and management who care less. This is an affordable long term hotel, run by folks who want the best for this tiny community. By some standards a 2 star place, but if you are in need and want a safe, well run place-this is 5 star all the way.

This doesn't allow the flexibility to travel to Orono on my days off. She said that she "booked the best hotel in the area" and me being a student, knew that this was one of the better ones in the area. When asked how it was, her exact words were "terrible, extremely loud with the foot traffic. I barely slept three hours." This had me discouraged since she is older, and was doing me a huge favor by seeing the places to live since I did not have the time. I agreed to pay for it knowing her frustration, and moved on. Being someone who worked in restaurants for years, I felt as though it should be mentioned to the hotel, since my mother is a veteran traveler who has been all over the world, and I have never heard her say anything like that. I called the front desk and spoke to Virginia. I mentioned her frustration, and was just curious as to what could have happened that a 200$ a night hotel in the middle of nowhere could warrant that response. Virginia's response was not one of someone who works in hospitality, or my previous experience working in restaurants. She told me " workers live above where she stayed and there was nobody on either side, so it couldn't have been loud." Exact words....essentially calling her a liar, or me, for that matter. Unprofessional, and for one of the better hotels, I expected at least an explanation like an event or festival. I am not looking for a refund. I just forewarn others who are looking for housing for U.M.O. for themselves or their children that their are better options that are cheaper, quieter, and a better experience.

Due to complications, I was unable to arrive until very late on Tuesday evening. Having paid in advance, I lost a significant amount of money. UPON ARRIVAL, the night staff were both very friendly; however, they were unable to check me in straight away. Unaware that they require a one-hundred dollar deposit upon check in, I only had "Apple cash" at my disposal and it was 11pm. Night staff was courteous enough to allow family to use their credit card as FIRESIDE does not yet have modern technology in regard ability to process Apple Pay. Staff requested to email a form to persons submitting the credit card. Though I wrote said email address in giant black sharpe letters, BOTH staff continuously mistyped the email address over and over and over, insisting that they had done it correctly. Didn't get a key until midnight. There was no breakfast available in the morning, though the ad promised that amenity. There were VERY FEW other patrons and I never saw a soul in the long, spooky hallways. I'm here to visit family. As it turned out, my family visit was postponed until Saturday. I did not think it would be difficult to book another night seeing as there were no other guests. This morning, housekeeping was knocking on my door a bit after 11. I had overslept and alerted the young woman that I would like to stay another evening. Not even a full minute had passed when the front desk rang me exclaiming in a very curt tone that I had TEN MINUTES to exit the room. Evidently there was a comic book convention in town and they were unable to accommodate me. I explained I would do my best. The young man on the line repeated sternly that he could give me NO MORE THAN TEN MINUTES. Again, I said I would do my best. Having assumed I'd be there another evening, I had not packed. Furthermore, I wished to tidy the room as best as I could for staff. After a couple days there, I had accumulated some food containers etc so I collected them and put them neatly in the bin. I gathered towels and made a neat pile in the restroom. I left housekeeping a cash tip. Imagine my shock to be greeted by an officer of the law in the lobby. The desk had called the cops!!!!!! Outrageous, silly, and completely off base. Desk clerk said it was because I was late checking out and they needed to clean my room. I explained to the officer that I HAD BEEN ONE OF VERY FEW guests there and SEEING AS CHECK IN is not until 3 pm, this was completely uncalled for. The real motive was that night staff from Thursday suspected me of smoking marijuana! Laughable. Last night I asked the night clerk if I could use the desktop in the lobby. After booting it up, and putting in the password- she told me it's the SAME PASSWORD that staff uses for THEIR clerking. She then regretted telling me this, fearing repercussions. "I didn't hear anything," I reassured her. "GOOD! You didn't hear NOTHING!" she laughed. She talked my ear off for 45 minutes, telling me about her three sons, among other things. I became so tired I told her I was going to my room to get something. (It was too late for me to write email at that point.) Unfortunately, I am a tobacco user. I grabbed a cigarette, and was about to head out of doors to smoke it. I opened my room door and was startled to find the night clerk there. The hallway was permeated with marijuana smoke. I commented on that. Baffled at her presence there, I inquired. She said she was investigating the smell. I said it didn't bother me but that I knew they had rules against it there. (Signs are plastered all over regarding the prohibition of what is a legal substance here.) I do not smoke pot. I'm an old school alcohol and cigarette gal. When hearing my remark that the smell did not offend me, the gal said in a very snarky tone, WELL YOU WOULDN'T-- implying that it was me. Laughable. Negative stars.
