Everything about Black Bear Inn was excellent. It is just a couple minutes to UMaine or back over to Bangor. The complimentary soup and ice cream are a great treat to recharge in the afternoon. And the staff were incredibly helpful for checking in (our flight was early) and with questions. We will stay there every time we visit if we can.
