Our room was conveniently located on the ground floor and we were able to park right outside the sliding glass doors, making it really easy to unload luggage. The desk staff was very friendly and the bed was excellent. The in-room refrigerator was blissfully quiet, and the "grab and go" breakfast had excellent options. Best of all, there's a Thai restaurant immediately adjacent! We were very happy with our stay, and its convenience to access Acadia National Park.

Considering the greed from other hotels this was okay prices are stupid high in the area. The place was okay clean but could use some cleaning around the edge of the tub and new silicone added. Maid service on second day just replaced towel and smoothed the covers on the bed, did not really clean. For the money I would be okay here based on not feeding the greed in Bar Harbor.

Hotel was nothing special at all. The room was dark and the design of the building caused it to be a little noisy. Seemed over priced. However the Tai restaurant next door was fabulous!!

Not what we thought

We have had non-cooked continental breakfasts before. The breakfast here was all pre-packaged low end items such as pop tarts and Sara Lee cup cakes. Was not appetizing at all. The bed was comfortable but low end linens. They had a nice and very large pool. That was the highlight of the stay.

I did not like the the rugs in the hotel room. The room across from us had laminate flooring. I know these will all be updated eventually. I also would like to see an upgrade on charging stations USB preferably, the electrical outlets were loose, and there was only one spot to charge.
