Staff extremely friendly. Value for money, my only problem was the thin walls. I could plainly hear talking and snoring from the rooms adjoining.

The staff was eager to assist and friendly. It was a bit of a trek to get to Acadia, but it was doable. The place is also nearby a grocery store, which allowed me to save on meals, thanks to the microwave and refrigerator.

We really liked this place. The amenities were great (coffee in room, iron and blow dryer, fridge, microwave). Our only complaint was that the room was VERY DARK. There was no overhead lighting, and two lamps with small wattage bulbs. It felt gloomy and I needed a flashlight to find things in my suitcase. Add lighting, the place is terrific!

The room was good. There were some things that needed repaired and housekeeping not provided unless requested. We took towels to office to get replaced and office did not open till 9 and closed at 7. Requested the room to be vacuumed but did not happen. Second request I just requested a broom and swept floor myself. Fireplace installed on wall did not work. Refrigerator installed funny and wobbled. Addtional coffee for room had to be retrived from office. Not a fan of 10am check out and fee for late checkout unreasonable in my opinion

The photos look nothing like the real room

The photos on the website or ok nothing like what the rooms look like in person. Our door would not shut fully which allowed bugs to come in and it was so humid and gross in the room. It smelled moldy and everything was damped due to the door not t able to shut fully. The coffee was awful and the room was not cleaned. Will stay somewhere else next time.

At first, our stay wasn’t great. The walls were extremely thin, so we could clearly hear our neighbors and even smell the food they were cooking (to the point where our clothes reeked like it for days). On top of that, our window was broken. After communicating to the front desk, we were moved to a room without neighbors, a comfier bed, and it felt much cleaner overall. It left me wondering why we were given the first room at all when there were better options available.
