Good place to stay for exploring Downeast Maine.

Well kept rooms and homey old time feel hotel. There is a heated pool which we didn't use. Breakfast is grab and go with a lot of variety and heat up items. Small tables are available as well. Coffee is good too. Front desk is responsive to any problem you might have. Not a 24 hr front desk.

The venue is clean, and although the breakfast is a quick grab-and-go, it’s a delicious way to kick-start your morning. Guests can enjoy hot water available all day, adding to the convenience. Plus, the location offers easy access to the charming area of Bar Harbor.

The hotel is dated and I am really ok with that. I understand upgrades cost, the bathroom grout and sylicone were black. that can be cleaned and fixed. and the toilet seat was in terrible shape. another easy fix. The room had a bad smell, I needed to keep the sliding door open for a hour each day to try and air out the room. there seemed to be a few hours everyday that they didn't have staff on site. I do not find that this hotel was worth the money.

CLEAN & Spacious

Our room was clean, beds very comfortable,and the room was very spacious. The coffee pot was missing but when we ask for one the front desk was happy to give us one. The building is old but very well taken care of.
