Typical motel without a deck but clean and quiet. No hot water from arrival at 5 pm to departure next day at 9 am. Water just too cold for showers, which we found to be unacceptable.

David at the front desk was so helpful and friendly! View was great. Location to Bar Harbor and Acadia was great without being IN the hustle and bustle. Super convenient to restaurants. Overall a great experience. Room was eh but super adequate, bed was comfy. Served our needs at a very affordable price.

Beds were clean as was bathroom. Floor hadn’t been vacuumed in quite a while. Neither had those in the hallways or communal areas. Half of the rooms in the island view Inn don’t have a Half of the rooms in the island view Inn don’t have an island view and there’s no mention of that on the website. Biggest problem was ran out of hot water the second night and into the second morning. No response from housekeeping or the front desk. Highly disappointed. Would not recommend for that reason. Spend your energy researching other places. There’s plenty of them.

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.
