Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although comfortable and well-appointed, had some issues like a window that couldn't shut properly and noise disturbances. The lack of a warm welcome at reception was a downside, but the hotel had a unique Ghostbusters theme that intrigued me.

My stay at The Charles Inn was a mix of pleasant and unsettling experiences. The location was perfect for exploring downtown and enjoying waterfront concerts, but the odd decor and slanted rooms made me feel uneasy. The service was genuinely friendly and helpful, but the lack of modern amenities in the 'classic' style room was disappointing.

Rooms

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were unique but not as bright as expected, and there were some unconventional decorations that may not be to everyone's taste. However, the staff was very helpful, and the location was unbeatable for exploring downtown Bangor and attending a conference. Though the dining options were not on-site, there were good nearby restaurants to choose from.
