Fireside Inn and Suites Bangor

Cozy Comfort Near Bangor's Music Scene

Modern convenience meets classic Maine charm at the Fireside Inn and Suites Bangor. Located directly across from the Hollywood Casino Hotel and Raceway, this relaxed hotel offers warm, welcoming rooms—some with fireplaces—and all the essentials like free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and handy in-room microwaves and mini-fridges. Whether you're in town for a show or just exploring downtown Bangor, you're only minutes from major venues and local attractions.

Why Concert-goers love it

You can't beat the location—just steps from Hollywood Casino and within a mile of several popular Bangor concert venues. If you're flying in for a gig, you're only 3 miles from Bangor International Airport. After the show, retreat to a quiet and cozy room, and enjoy free parking and the option to grab a bite or drink without leaving the hotel. While check-in starts at 3:00 PM, the staff is accommodating for early arrivals, and the pace here is perfect for a low-key post-concert wind-down.

Food and Drink Options

The hotel features an on-site restaurant and bar, making grabbing dinner or a drink after a show super convenient. While there’s no 24/7 room service, having a microwave and fridge in your room means reheating late-night bites is easy. Breakfast is available, and it’s a solid choice for those sleepy mornings after a late encore.

Nightlife Options

You're just across the street from the casino, which often features live entertainment and late-night fun. Plus, downtown Bangor is just a short ride away, filled with bars, pubs, and lounges for a post-show drink or two. If you'd rather keep things low-key, the hotel's own bar offers a relaxing vibe with friendly service.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, clean rooms, and the unbeatable location near Bangor’s venues. Many reviewers highlight the hotel’s excellent value, especially for concert nights. The in-room fireplaces in select rooms are a big hit with couples looking for something a little special.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel’s décor feels a little dated—but most agree it's clean and comfortable. Soundproofing isn’t perfect, so light sleepers might want to pack earplugs just in case. And while breakfast is available, it's not complimentary, so factor that into your budget.

The Bottom Line

A warm, affordable, and well-located stay for concert-goers who want comfort, convenience, and a dash of Maine charm.
