"The property was great!! Room was clean and bed was comfy. View was good too! Got a great sunrise! It’s a great location, just a few minutes into the park or about 10 mins into Bar Harbor! The only thing I would change would be breakfast. Only coffee, juices, blueberry muffins and yogurt with granola to add. Same choices everyday, I don’t eat those things so it would have been nice to have more choices. But I would still stay again!"
