Kris, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was comfortable and warm. The bathroom area could have been a bit cleaner. Parking was fine. Only staff was at check-in and he was very pleasant. There was no housekeeping service. We could have used some clean hand towels and certainly another days worth of coffee pods.

Donna, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Most of the hotels in the area are older, I found that the towels and bedding were very new in this hotel. We were able to extend our stay which was nice. The guy working the front desk was very friendly and helpful with our stay. Would go back again.

Worth a look near Acadia

Loved location with bay view. Good value for access to park, with close access to coffee shop, grocery store and restaurants. Enjoyed upgrade to Bay side offered by pleasant manager.
Peter, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Welcoming staff, clean room, comfortable beds, and fabulous view! You can also catch the Island Express Bus to travel pretty much anywhere. Really convenient since Bar Harbor and some parts of Acadia are hard to park.
View from back of hotel.
Melissa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was a cute hotel. We knew in advance the limited amenities. The area was quaint with easy access to Bar Harbor. Staff were great. Rooms very outdated, but the price was reasonable.

Nice location. VERY small room. NO vanity space at all - just the sink!! Could use renovation!
Janet, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Bed was nice. Nice view from balcony. Not within walking distance to anything. Price was very reasonable.
Domingos, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice and clean motel at a good price.

This is a clean and basic motel at a good price, with amazing views of Mount Desert Island across the bay. The location is very convenient and very close to the bridges that take you to the island. I think you can pick up a free shuttle bus to Acadia from a spot near the motel. The drive to Bar Harbor takes about 20 minutes. The island is definitely bigger than I realized!
