No elevator. Difficult carrying a lame dog up and down stairs. Good options for a grab and go breakfast. Friendly staff. Very expensive for an old accommodation.

I loved my stay here and would recommend it and stay here again. The room’s layout was perfect for a longer stay (sometimes motel rooms are small or toilets are facing the bathtub so there’s little space to move but not here). It was super clean, and had a lovely smell everyday, even after a few days. The chair and bed were very comfortable, and very welcoming after day’s of hiking. The late night coffee and tea station was very appreciated! Thank you for making for a great, reasonably priced stay so close to Acadia!

No locks on sliders in rooms and we were on the ground floor just a 2x4 placed in the track. Also seemed like people were living in their cars on the property.

The property is old and a little run down, but we only slept there and it fit out family 5. I was a bit annoyed they after I booked through Expedia, they charged us extra for a 5th person when we checked in, although I searched for a hotel that slept 5.

The room was clean. The room was limited. No hangers, no closet, no coffee maker. It felt like a very cheap motel room but was clean. The cleaning staff was friendly but the office staff was not at all friendly or helpful. Apparently for the price I was rewarded with location only. I would not recommend this facility.

The establishment exhibits a state of significant disrepair, characterized by bed creaks that render sleeping uncomfortable, musty linen, and faded towels that have lost their original whiteness. Additionally, the bathroom door is damaged, and the front door is in a state of disrepair. The carpet is stained and old. Employees were ok but can be improved for professionalism and appearance. I will not return to this establishment.

So so room

Room was clean, however there was NO WHERE to hang your clothes up. No hangers, no closet, no hooks, (except one hook on bathroom door. No iron or ironing board in room. That was furnished if you asked though. Just a place to sleep and shower. Would probably not stay again.

...Didn't use the pool.... Rooms were clean. Staff was great, continental breakfast was a lot of choices. One thing possibly that needs to be addressed is in the back where the dog walk area is. There is dog crap everywhere. People don't clean up after themselves. Otherwise, I would stay here again in the near future. Thank you

Good place to stay for exploring Downeast Maine.

Well kept rooms and homey old time feel hotel. There is a heated pool which we didn't use. Breakfast is grab and go with a lot of variety and heat up items. Small tables are available as well. Coffee is good too. Front desk is responsive to any problem you might have. Not a 24 hr front desk.

The venue is clean, and although the breakfast is a quick grab-and-go, it’s a delicious way to kick-start your morning. Guests can enjoy hot water available all day, adding to the convenience. Plus, the location offers easy access to the charming area of Bar Harbor.

The hotel is dated and I am really ok with that. I understand upgrades cost, the bathroom grout and sylicone were black. that can be cleaned and fixed. and the toilet seat was in terrible shape. another easy fix. The room had a bad smell, I needed to keep the sliding door open for a hour each day to try and air out the room. there seemed to be a few hours everyday that they didn't have staff on site. I do not find that this hotel was worth the money.
