    Very good for 3 dog move.

    We recently had a great experience at the Black Bear Inn in Orono Maine. Moving with 3 dogs from the South to the North was challenging - especially since the dogs are a 130 lb Maremma LGD, a 50 pound hound dog and a little dacshund. We were thrilled to find a nice place that would let all of us stay in one room - no size or number limit as other hotels have. Their parking lot/landscape area for walking is large and far away from any roads and traffic. Our farm dogs were quite happy for the exercise and interesting plants to sniff. The staff was very pleasant, the breakfast room very clean and good basic selection. This will be our go-to place when visiting the Bangor area. This made me very happy to be moving to Maine!

    Dated and don't enforce policies

    We booked this hotel at the last minute because it was dog friendly and the closing on our house was delayed. The room was relatively clean, but extremely dated and worn out. Mask policies during the pandemic were not being enforced and I ran into several maskless patrons and employees. In addition, our final night we had to relocate to a different room on another floor because cigarette smoke was seeping into our room in a supposed non-smoking hotel. The staff were helpful and apologetic, but we were offered zero compensation for the hassle. I definitely would not stay here again, nor would I recommend it to others. Not a good first impression.

    Wow! Awesome Place For Doggie Families

    Looking for a place that would take 2 labs, we found this gem. Dog fee is $10 per dog. The place is clean, clean, clean, so u are expected to clean after ur pet too. Our room was spacious on the second floor next to the stairs. Beds were a little hard, but Not too bad. Breakfast area is small but it is an awesome, tasty buffet. Plenty of parking and places to walk the dogs. We Loved the place!
