We have stayed at the Black Bear several times over 6 years and always find the facility and rooms very clean. We really like that we can make our own Belgium waffles in the morning at the continental breakfast.

STEPHEN, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good enough for close to campus lodging

Stayed here for the first time recently. When I want to stay close to campus I usually stay at Hotel Ursa but wanted to try something different. Pros - close to UMaine campus, friendly and helpful staff, clean, free breakfast (although I didn't try it), separate updated sink area from bathroom which I always like. Cons - very poor wifi service, thought it was a little expensive for what it was, beds were way too soft and uncomfortable, old TV - couldn't access any smart TV apps like Netflix. Conclusion - it's fine, but if looking for something very close to campus I'd choose Ursa instead. More updated, less expensive, better wifi, although no breakfast.
