The location on the waterfront was delightful. The view of the bay was beautiful. We enjoyed the riverfront walking path. Hotel is dated but kept clean. Hotel staff courteous, responsive and respectful.

Great views of the bridge and Fort Knox
Lovely location overlooking the Penobscot narrows bridge and Fort Knox. We had a room right on the water with a very comfy bed but rather a lot of furniture in the room limiting space
Lady on reception not particularly welcoming.
Nowhere open to have dinner nearby so had to drive to Searsport. Managed to find a little place for coffee and muffin the the morning just over the road but no other options in Bucksport itself

Would stay here again
Very nice inn on the river with a view of the marina, Fort Knox and the bridge. It was quiet except some foot steps in the room above. The only thing I’d like to see if a new mattress - it was so soft I had to pull myself out of the hole when I got out of bed. It looks like they are upgrading as they can, I saw new A/C units, fresh paint, new carpets - all in all it was very nice - just the mattress

Beautiful stay
This hotel offers absolutely beautiful views of the bridge and river, both day and night. This is an older establishment, but very clean, everything worked as it should, and the staff were very kind and accommodating. Located right along the river, with a nice walking path that runs right by the hotel. Felt safe and very peaceful. Would definitely recommend.

Very pleasant staff that appeared to be local. The hotel was very clean and cared for but finishes were definitely dated.
