Bangor's Best
We highly recommend Shelleven. It is quiet, comfortable, well-equipped, and has a great location so that one may walk to most of Bangor's excellent eateries. Sue's breakfast is legendary - or if it's not, it should be - and she and her staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Nice and friendly
Very nice welcoming with great info. Also great location, very close to nice restaurants. The breakfast was outstanding. Big room with a big bathroom the decoration a bit outdated and could hear every step from the people above. But it was a quiet place with families as guests.

The location is great, many food options, pubs, and things to see all within easy walking distance. There isn't a pull off for unloading and parking is not on site. Overall it is a great place to stay!
