Kind staff, awful beds, equipment issues but very clean.
Pros:

The location was great, just close enough to town center without being crowded.

Cons:

The beds were like sleeping on slabs of stone, both my husband and I were sore and stiff all over the next morning. The microwave is broken, there’s exposed metal so it’s throwing sparks inside. And the hair dryer in the bathroom didn’t work. Staff was lovely and location was great all at a decent price for the area but not sure we would stay again because of the beds.

Great location for exploring Acadia NP and Bar Harbor
Pros:

Great location for exploring Acadia NP and an easy, short walk into Bar Harbor. Quiet road and comfy beds. Decent selection of complimentary breakfast items available for grab and go

Cons:

The rooms are quite bright at night. Despite having two sets of blinds, the outside lights are on all night and the light gets in. The shower door didn't close fully, so the shower leaked a little.

Perfect and not too far from downtown to walk!
Pros:

I really loved the older hillside location of room it was very mid century mod and the exterior illumination at night was on point! Breakfast bar, while not hot had plentiful options they didn’t require refrigeration, ie fruit, power bars etc which was perfect for me as I was hiking Cadillac mt!

Great stay!
Pros:

It was a nice, quiet, clean and comfy motel. I would have enjoyed a pool but that's a personal choice. The motel itself is very well staffed. We were waited on by Jerome at the front desk who extremely helpful and very pleasant. It is in a good location relative to the downtown seaside area (it's just a quick walk). They had good breakfast options and snacks, water and soda available all day in the front desk area. Overall worth the cost and I would definitely stay there again.

Cons:

No pool but I new that when I booked. Not taking any rating points away for that.
