I stayed for two days and had a wonderful experience. The room was cozy, clean, and well-maintained, and the room service was excellent. The location was very convenient—just a short driving distance from the Acadia National Park Visitor Center and Bar Harbor. I’d definitely love to return!

Old style motel that has been kept up well. Baskets of flowers all around. We had a motel room with two double beds and a kitchen, and it had a large table so we could play board games.

Great experience, very nice staff and the room was clean, the only downside was the bed being a little on the hard side and the shower would immediately be switched to shower mode once you open the faucet. Otherwise it was good!

When checking in, the staff member was nice and gave us information about the park. Our room was quite small and basic, and overpriced. In some areas, the grass was long and unkept. The location was a bit far from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Coffee and tea were available in the small reception area, along with bite-sized cake donuts.
