Top Orono Hotel Reviews

Hollywood Casino Bangor

Hollywood Casino Bangor

8/10 Good
"Our room is nice, clean, and spacious, with a beautiful view of the river, and we enjoyed watching the sunrise from our room. The only thing missing is a microwave. We brought some food with us, but we couldn't eat it because there is no microwave in the room. There's only one microwave that is located in the hotel shop; you have to bring your food downstairs to the lobby to warm it up. It is so inconvenient!"
