Dont be Fooled by the Picture

The beautiful snow covered ski mountain and scenic view pictured as part of the Holiday Inn Bangor is no where to be seen. Bangor is the flattest place in Maine, from what I heard the closest ski resort is 1.5 hours away. Nearly all rooms have double good luck getting a king size. Over all the pool and hot tub served its purpose but are kinda scuzzy. The facility must have been built in the early 80's with little updating.
There is a Gold?s Gym in the building next door and is not physically connected so you have to walk out side in sub zero temperatures back & forth. Also, the pool is dual marketed as both the Gold?s Gym pool & the Holiday Inn pool. The Gold?s members are kinda have an attitude towards hotel guests. The hot tub is very small, it doesn?t make sense why they built it so small given the amount of room they have to work with. The hot tub is set in the floor and the ribbing along the floor has a lip where dirty water congregates into a swamp
The main reason I choose H.I. was for the pool/hot tub which I did use 2 or 4 nights however I closed my eyes when getting into the dirty grey hot tub water.
