Hilton Garden Inn Bangor
"A polished, highly-rated Hilton near the airport and I-95 with an on-site Irish pub, modern rooms, and a free airport shuttle."
About The Hotel
From $265/night — a reliable, professional Hilton Garden Inn with a 4.5 rating that excels in cleanliness (4.8) and location. This modern property on Haskell Road near Bangor International Airport serves business travelers and Acadia-bound flyers well, with an on-site Irish pub/restaurant, a made-to-order breakfast station, and a free airport shuttle. Rooms are well-appointed with fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. The honest drawbacks: interior design reads dated to some guests, the in-room AC can be loud, and breakfast costs extra. Billing and pet-fee disputes have been cited, so confirm charges at check-in.
What Guests Are Saying
“Great property. Clean and nice breakfast with a made to order station. Great location in Bangor. Hotel decor / interior looks dated but great hospitality and service.” — Steve M., 5 stars
“Really is an attractive place. Stately, almost. Attentive and gracious staff. Room was very clean. Enjoyed the breakfast buffet. Wish there was a 24-hour shuttle service, but beyond that…everything was excellent.” — RockyRaccoon, 5 stars
“We enjoyed a three night stay here. The customer service is attentive and very friendly, lots of smiles and greeting from check in to restaurant, etc. The facility is very well kept but having stayed at a few other Hilton Garden Inns recently, this one seems to need a refresh—nothing wrong with it just as it, but a refresh might be in order. We truly enjoyed everything about this hotel with two minor quibbles. First, the air conditioning is very loud. There is always a prominent hum in the room and at time, that hum grows quite loud in the wee hours. Second, the pillows are not very good. Each queen bed comes with one full size pillow and two ‘throw’ pillows all made of polyester so they go flat. I feel a queen bed needs two full size pillows. That aside, I would stay here again when in Bangor.” — AndrewBeach, 4 stars

What guests are saying about Hilton Garden Inn Bangor.
"Every hotel has a negative, there’s always something. And I’ll get to the single thing here in a moment. I’ve dined here multiple times when staying at the Hampton Inn and sometimes I’ve even driven up from the Courtyard and Towneplace if I’m there. The food is always decent, good value, and the service from notably Alex and Sandra are always great. I stayed here twice over the summer of 2025. My corporate rates were blacked out at my usual hotels in the area and I ended up booking here because it was more affordable (or like a few bucks more). The rooms here are simple and basic, but, great! It’s kind of all the things I miss from ‘normal’ hotels when I stay at all these updated places. The bathroom door pulls open blocking the hallway noise (not that it was loud), there’s a built in night light in the bathroom ceiling light, there’s that classic garden inn brand pantry area with a fridge microwave and coffee maker, and a basic but comfy chair to sit in (I was in 2 queen bed room). Even being a full service hotel where breakfast has cost, they still offer free coffee in the lobby which is greatly appreciated in this day and age with cold brew protein frap iced cold foam nonsense (I just need black coffee in the morning). My rooms were always clean, no issues at all with repair either. The negative? This costs money, and rightfully so! I wish my company would go after getting a preferred rate here but regardless, it’s a treat for me to stay here or the Hampton and grab a burger and beer at the bar here."

Not a big deal but I love cookies. The other thing was our TV was not working in our room. With two young kids that kind of sucks. I called the front desk waited an hour and no one came to fix it. I called back to let him know to just forget about it, it was getting later by then. Overall good hotel but not as great as last time"

My name on the TV to welcome me is also a very nice touch :) The room was spotless and looked well-maintained. My daughter was excited to see a Denny’s right down the road and I was excited to see the Sam’s Club!"
