Overlooking the Stillwater River in the charming college town of Orono, University Inn Academic Suites is one of Maine's best kept secrets. We are within walking distance to some of downtown Orono's finest restaurants and driving distance to many attractions of Downeast Maine. We are only 1/2 of a mile from the University of Maine, the closest accommodations around. We are also minutes from the Bangor Mall and many historic sites. For more information check out the Maine Guide at: www.maineguide.com/region/downeast/

Whether you are here on business or enjoying our beautiful state, the Inn is conveniently located within a short distance of Maine's finest attractions. We are centrally located between Acadia National Park, Baxter State Park, and the Moosehead Lake region, all within 1 hours drive. Many local attractions in the Bangor area include Hollywood Slots and Raceway, the Bangor Mall and shopping district, Bangor Auditorium, Bass Park and the Maine Discovery Museum.

Orono, home of the Maine Black Bears, offers a large array of sporting events at the University of Maine, arts at the Collins Center, Hudson Museum and Page Farm Museum, and wonderful Maine restaurants in the heart of Orono Village. The Inn is within walking distance to campus and the Village and there is a free shuttle service available beginning September 1, 2009.

Enjoy beautiful sunrise and sunset views from your balcony!
