The Black Bear Inn is a really nice budget hotel if you're going to Orono, Maine. The hotel staff was super nice and informative during both check in and when we had questions about an early check out. The only thing you should keep in mind is during the day the highway is super loud because of it's right off the exit, but don't worry because at night it is super quiet.

Room is too noisy.

We stayed at room 326. The room is close to the road and was very very noisy. My wife lost her sleep the whole night. wonder if the windows are sound-insulated.

Black Bear Inn is one of my favorite places to stay while we are visiting family and friends. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. The continental breakfast has lots to choose from. Even though it is close to the interstate, it is quiet and peaceful here.
