The staff was friendly and helpful. The bedding was DIVINE, they had dim lighting options (a huge boon for me) and everything was extremely clean. 10/10, I will stay there again!

Place was very clean and wonderfully decorated, The rooms are very cozy. The TVs in the room have streaming capabilities which is nice. I wish they did offer a little market where you could buy a bottle of water or a snack. My only real complaint is the restaurant/bar is a totally separate business than the hotel, so you cannot charge things you order in the restaurant/bar to your room.

Loved everything about this hotel. Check in was pleasant and James gave suggestions on where to grab a cocktail in town. Also enjoyed the fresh baked cookies. The room was cozy and comfortable, and the breakfast provided was far above average with Nantucket pie and cream cheese filled pancakes as options to choose from. Everything in town was easily walkable and Acadia National Park is a very short drive away.

This relatively new hotel had great design inside and was in a central location to walk to town. We were greeted with fresh cookies and tea/coffee available in the lobby. The room was clean and perfect for our family (2 adults 1 teen); there was one king bed and a divider wall and a twin bed. Our daughter had her own space and tv. There was plenty of free parking onsite. We ate supper at the hotel restaurant and the meal was great, signature cocktails were yummy and the staff was super friendly. Breakfast was included with our package and was really good, service was a little slow but we weren’t in a rush. We would stay here again in the future.
