The Spotlight on Bucksport Inn

Cozy, Convenient, and Close to Maine’s Music Scene

Modern amenities meet classic motel charm at Bucksport Inn, a laid-back, pet-friendly stay nestled on U.S. Route 1 in Bucksport, Maine. This welcoming spot is perfectly located for concert-goers exploring the region’s music venues or heading to nearby coastal towns. With a relaxed atmosphere and easy access to local attractions, it’s a smart pick for travelers who value comfort and convenience without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just a short drive from concert venues in Bangor and surrounding areas, Bucksport Inn offers a peaceful place to crash after a high-energy show. The motel’s location means you’ll avoid the post-event hustle of city traffic, and the quiet setting is ideal for winding down. While check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out is at 10:00 AM, the friendly team is often flexible if you need a little wiggle room. Free parking and easy highway access make late-night returns a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a budget-friendly base near Maine’s concert spots
  • Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list show
  • Couples turning a concert into a weekend escape
  • Fans seeking a quiet, post-show recovery space
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who prefer comfort over frills

Food and Drink Options

While Bucksport Inn doesn’t serve breakfast, you’re just steps from a Dunkin’ Donuts—perfect for grabbing coffee before or after the show. Downtown Bucksport is a short drive away and offers local restaurants for sit-down meals or quick bites. Each room comes with a microwave and mini fridge/freezer, so late-night snacks are totally doable.

Nightlife Options

Though the motel doesn’t host live music or have an on-site bar, you’re within easy reach of bars and pubs in Bucksport and Bangor. After the show, head back to the inn and enjoy a low-key night under the stars in their backyard space—complete with cornhole, horseshoes, and picnic tables.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, comfortable rooms and the exceptionally friendly staff. The peaceful setting and pet-friendly policy are consistently praised, as are the motel’s proximity to Bangor and coastal attractions. Many reviewers also highlight how convenient the location is for exploring local landmarks like the Penobscot Observatory and Fort Knox.

Areas for Improvement

There's no on-site breakfast or restaurant, so plan ahead for morning meals. Some guests mention that the decor is a bit dated—but most agree that it’s more than made up for by the cleanliness and comfort.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a simple, quiet, and affordable stay after a Maine concert, Bucksport Inn is a solid choice that puts comfort and location first.

Overall a nice place.

Liked: Price was better than other available motels in the area (last minute booking). Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was clean. The back yard was very nice especially Hugo’s Way path which provided a short nature walk behind the property (look for the log cabin bird houses along the way).
Disliked: My wife said that the mattress was too hard making it difficult for her to sleep. Also the A/C in our room didn’t work very well.

A well-situated, refurbished older style...

Liked: My pet-friendly king size room was spacious and well furnished for my 2night stay. Also there was an inviting and well thought out backyard area with adjacent woodland trail that was a welcome feature for dog-owning guests and their pets to use.
Disliked: Only 6 of the 25 rooms are designated as "pet-friendly" and these are all situated around back and on the lower level of the motel, making you feel isolated and kind of ghettoized. And I was awoken at 6am by the sounds of people's footsteps in the room immediately above mine.
