This was my first visit to Bangor - I came because I’m a Stephen King nerd. Did the 2pm tour and then checked-in afterwards. To my delight, this is right across the street from house SK imagined was Bev Marsh’s house in the novel IT, and literally around the corner (1 minute walk) from a Dunkin’ Donuts (where Tabitha King used to work before SK made it big).
Directly across the street from the Dunkin is the Ampitheater. If you stand on the hill behind the Dunkin you can see the Jumbotron from outside the stadium - free show! I got lucky - Luke Combs and Aerosmith were performing the weekend I went.
Property manager was quick with response for door code and answering questions. Nice clean beds, clean bathrooms. Small kitchen - zero counter space; great if you’re dining out every meal, but definitely not so great for cooking.
Also couldn’t get any service up there - but that’s on me as I never reached out to inquire about a Wi-Fi password. It seems to be an issue all over Bangor, because some of my messages never went through.
2 Notes for Consideration: This is close to the water and there are lots of nearby restaurants on the water, but the house itself is not waterfront. Also, If you are looking for a nice quiet place to stay, this location is NOT for you. It’s a convenient location but a constantly loud area - neighbors blast music and of course you will hear everything playing from the stadium at night. Personally it didn’t bother me at all, but I’m sure others wouldn’t like it.
You can walk downtown, but I took a car as it was pretty easy to find parking. There’s a lot of little restaurants and shops close together, so it’s good to park and walk. Maybe you’ll be lucky enough to run into Mr. King!
Overall I had a great experience, I would definitely stay here again!
