Anton
Great location, facility and staff. Really enjoyed our stay.
Jody
The location of this property is great! Right on a river walk on the Penobscot river. Direct views of Fort Knox my grandson loved. The building itself is dated and could use some grades. I’m not a fan of carpet in hotel rooms.
Garland
The view
Raymond
AC did not work properly bathroom is tiny
Todd
Small and charming older hotel on the bay with an elevator.
Lee

Room was clean , and we had a beautiful view of the Penobscot Bridge.

Very clean inn! Not all the modern amenities but served our purpose well. Pretty views!
Wendy
Simple hotel with a beautiful view and convenient to restaurants. Reception was helpful and welcoming.
Kim
Very comfortable stay. Front desk was very pleasant.
Catherine
Staff was extremely welcoming and friendly. Parking was easy and convenient. The noise levels were very low and manageable. My room was clean and neat and had a pretty view of the bridge…but there was a walking path less than 10 feet from my windows, so it was hard to leave them open without people walking by, possibly looking right in my room. The room itself was very dated and needs a refresh. Everything worked fine, but it was cramped with oversized furniture and the mattresses were way too soft for my back. I also kept smelling dog and wondered if someone had a pet in the room prior to my booking. This could be a fun place for someone looking for a retro kind of vibe. Good value for what paid. It just wasn’t for me. 🙏
Siddharth
It’s a small but nice place in a very convenient location with beautiful views.
Stephen
Our room was spotless. The bed was very comfortable. The view was wonderful!!!
Yes it was in need of an update. The older style didn't matter once we saw the view.
Ask for 4th floor, water side for the best view and quietest rooms.

wendy
Highly recommended. Room was very clean and comfortable. Great view of the Penobscot Narrows Bridge from the room. Bed was soft and the water pressure in the shower was great. Had a wonderful stay.
Daniel
Nice little hotel. Very dated however. And unless you're on the top floor you hear every step of your neighbor above you
JULIA
Beautiful view and friendly staff.
Lucy
Staff friendly, hotel could use some updates. Blow dryer did not work.
Sharon
I would stay here again. The staff was very helpful.
Kristina
Great place and well worth the money. Definitely get a room with a view, it's worth it. I'll stay there again if I'm ever in the area again.
Pushkar
Very beautiful view from rooms. Convenient to travel around the area. 1 hr from Bar Harbor and Camden ME. Overall good stay.
Kortnie
This hotel was so cute! I loved the view from the room. It was clean and comfortable. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. I would come here again!
Catherine
I loved the view of the river and the bridge.
Cecelia
This hotel was comfortable and clean. The view from our window was beautiful. The town was walkable from the hotel. The only thing missing was breakfast or even a place to drink coffee outside of our room.
Kathy
A delightful place- wonderful views of the water. The hotel is a little outdated but very comfortable. The staff was super helpful and friendly!
Judith
Charming and helpful staff at check in. Unfortunately, no morning coffee in the lobby, just instant in the room.
Great location to area eateries.
The view of the bridge and the fort was stunning!!!!

Very nice Inn. Very clean. Great views. Staff was quite friendly which was extremely nice to see. I definitely recommend Fort Knox Inn, Bucksport ME
Robert
Excellent view (facing River and Penobscot Narrows Bridge) otherwise why stay here? Bed was comfortable and room was clean I would say the hotel was dated. Basic things like coffee in lobby is not available. Snacks/Simona and ice machine not working. Staff is friendly and helpful but overall the view is the draw.
Robert
There we no amenities,rooms were clean,ac good,nice veiw of water,bridge
Eugene
All good for me
Maria
Older hotel with great view but staff is not diligent about servicing rooms regularly or providing sufficient soap. Property has great potential with the right TLC.
Leslie
Nice hot shower. Beds could be a little firmer.
Nerissa
Comfortable
Garland
Location the best need breakfast and soundproofing
Garland
The physical view is tremendous rooms need soundproofing could use continental breakfast
Jason
We LOVED our 4 day stay at Fort Knox Inn! Great location, Great Views, Friendly Staff, comfortable Beds, Great water pressure! We Loved visiting the Fort, The Bridge and walking path by the Inn on our down day. The Bathroom could use a vent, but older building so may not be doable. Not a deal breaker for us. Also, since there is no Continental Breakfast a Kurig Machine or other FREE coffee machine in the lobby in the mornings would be wonderful since the ones in the room are way too small. Or if staying here bring your own coffee machine :) . We would ABSOLUTELY STAY HERE AGAIN!
Sharon
Older decor but beautiful views
Charles

Room was clean, location was beautiful. A little outdated, but charming and comfortable!
Raymond
I was only in town to visit some friends, not as a tourist. The hotel has been around a while but was very clean, the rooms were nice, good furniture, everything expected and neat for a good hotel. I will probably visit again next year and will stay at the Fort Knox Park Inn again, I liked it.
Matthew
It was nice.
Margie Mae
It was close to the event we were attending and good restaurants

Hotel offers a beautiful view of the river. Room clean. Recommend that hotel provides quality coffee in lobby for guests in the morning, along with real milk.

The person who greeted me was very freindly and check-in was quick and easy. The view from my room was incredible of the bridge
Jac
Worth having a room overlooking the Penobscot Narrows Bridge.
Very limited choice of restaurants in Bucksport, and if you're staying at the weekend or a holiday, make a dinner reservation before your trip.

Check in was easy. Beautiful view from the room. Beds comfortable and rooms quiet. The shower was wonderful!!
Would love to see a better supply/brand of coffee and toiletries and maybe some bottled water.

Elizabeth
Of the 4 different properties that I stayed at during this trip this was my favorite.
Jesse
Ok
JANET
Great dining across street
Paula
This was a handy place to be during the Fall. We were close enough to Acadia to drive over for a day of seeing the park, and far enough away to be more economical. Even though they did not serve breakfast, we had instant oatmeal with us that filled the gap.
Christopher
The only thing that kept my stay from being excellent all the way around were the mattresses being too soft. Otherwise, it was an excellent stay.
mark
Very nice. With a view of the bridge ; especially at night.
WILLIAM
Hotel room was very dated. The a/c was very noisy and only did an ok job of cooling the room. The staff was not very friendly and the local dining options were awful. Same your money and drive to the next town sorry but do not recommend this hotel for the prices they charge!
Matthew
This was a very old property. Okay to spend one night in but for the price I would expect more comfort. We had to sleep on the bed upside down because it sloped toward the wall. The mattresses have not been changed out in a very long time. The pillows were very uncomfortable.
Adam
Wonderful view. Super comfy loved the stores near the area.
WILLIAM
Hotel has very dated furnishings and A/C. The view is beautiful but would not stay here again with the rates they charge. The town also has very limited dining options.
Rohan
Overall it is good
Jac
Limited choice and number of restaurants nearby - arrived on a Saturday evening and (because there were no tables for quite some time) ended up with a rotisserie chicken and salad in our room.
Stephen
Staff were welcoming
John
Lovely staff, clean, comfortable
sandra
Great value close to lots of fun places.
Megin
Excellent value. Our room was clean and comfortable. The beds and pillows were dreamy. The view of Fort Knox and the bridge were unbelievable. There were lots of great restaurants and convenience stores/grocery stores in walking distance. The staff was very friendly. The hotel is older, but very well maintained. My only word of his advice is to bring toiletries cause not much was provided. I will definitely come back.
Kenneth
Staff were very kind and helpful! 10 stars
Elizabeth
Really nice place. Great view from our room. Awesome restaurant across the street. I enjoyed a morning walk only the river. Beautiful!!
Ark
Nice little hotel in Bucksport. Very safe and quiet location. Will definitely be back when i visit Castine.
Cathryn
Older but cared for. Great location and a walking trail along the river adjacent. Super take away Thai right next door.
Kevin
Had everything we needed.
SANDRA
The floor was uneven making it unsafe, beds were the worst , felt like a taco in it it was so soft, no place to put luggage because of bulky very 60s furniture. No breakfast for the price. Very outdated!! Only good thing was close to Ft Knox .
Emily
The rooms were clean and I felt safe there. However, the walls/floors are VERY THIN. Could hear everything - people walking in the rooms above us, people banging on doors across the hall. The rooms smelled musty, like someone hasn’t been in them in ages. Except it appeared that the Inn was full.
Melinda
Front desk employee was very friendly
Tamisa
Room had a beautiful views and relaxing atmosphere
Tom
We were given a water view room which was quite gracious on their part. The view was incredible. The room was comfortable and clean. Absolutely no complaints!
David
I love looking out the window and seeing fort knox
Heather
Older property but kept very clean. Wonderful, friendly service. Fantastic views and quiet historic shopping experience. Loved the experience and would definitely stay again. Wish we had stayed more nights! We were sad to leave.
PhuongDung
We booked the room with river view. It was very nice. So convenient. Close to grocery store and restaurants within walking distance. It is taking about 1hr to Acacia NP.
Emily
Very convenient location and great restaurants near by. Older building but very clean
Rhonda
Very old property with outdated room furnishings. Bad beds, dirty carpet, location was the only positive thing
Robert
Great hotel right on the water. This was my second time staying there and we will be back again
