Great property! The butterfly garden was beautiful. The beds were comfortable. Very clean! Nice patios! Parking was easy & the location is great. Walkable. The front desk guy was very nice, but the guy making breakfast was kind of rude. We would stay again because it was very nice.

This property was a good value when staying in Bar Harbor. It was close enough to town for walking to the wharf. It was clean and the provided breakfasts were quite good. The surrounding flowers and outdoor area was nice. We had a room that had an outdoor patio with some rocking chairs which was very enjoyable to read later in the day and watch people pass by.

The hotel was very clean, staff was friendly, especially Conor who welcomed us when we checked in. Coffee and baked goods were offered all day and breakfast was excellent. The decor had a nautical flair with art work through out. We also enjoyed relaxing on the front porch. If you're planning on going to Bar Harbor we highly recommend staying here.
