Uncomfy in Acadia

Spend a night not a fortune is their tagline. I‘m not sure you need to spend a fortune, but the basics that I need are comfy bed and hot and semi powerful shower. Neither was provided here. I had a terrible nights sleep and am dreading my 2nd night as we are heading back into the park today to hike. My back and hip actually hurt more after my nights sleep than they did before. As others mentioned it is clean, so there is that and the person was very nice at check in and even gave us wee towels to dry off our bikes each day. It is also close to the park and has a fridge freezer and working air con. If it was this or spending even less money camping, I would choose camping, because at least you have the fun of it and a comfier bed and in most cases better shower!!

Clean. Quiet. Lock on the bathroom didnt work, and the light functionality was hit or miss. Mattress wasn't the most comfortable but thats okay. Very cost effective option.

Cute cabin. But the living room was like a doctor office with office chairs only. The sink was in the living room. Strange. Not comfortable

A wonderful stay, the host was super nice The address on hotels is very wrong though it took us to. Different hotel they said they get it all the time and handed me a printed out sheet of directions they give to all the clients hotels maps send them. It was about 15 min down the road from there

Old style motel that has been kept up well. Baskets of flowers all around. We had a motel room with two double beds and a kitchen, and it had a large table so we could play board games.
