Pros:

Staff was very friendly and the grab and go breakfast was very handy. Great for our big family. Room was spacious and clean, comfy beds. Kitchen was thoughtfully stocked.

Cons:

Room was outdated and had outlets that were very loose, one was exposed altogether. Had to keep an eye on it so our baby didn't touch it.

Great stay and so close to the airport
Pros:

We came in on the day we needed a room and they were wonderful and got us right in. The breakfast was great and you could drive right up to your room and unload at the sliding glass door. The rooms were really clean. The bathrooms has some dirt in the corners but the tub was clean as well as the towels. Cleaning staff was awesome and I am high need with pillows and blankets and they brought extras right away.

Гарний отель середньої якості якщо немає великих запитів.
Pros:

Я їздив в парк Акадія, знаходить поруч, відносно не дорого, гарні умови, поруч є ресторан.

Cons:

Сніданки дуже погані, загалом отель схожий на барак, відчуття що побудований дуже давно, але його утримують в гарному стані, тапочки не дають, є басейн - теж без тапочек і вода холодна.

Pros:

For an "all grab n go foods" breakfast it had a surprising variety, and worked better than expected.
The folks who cleaned the room were very friendly.

Cons:

Price was higher than I'd expect for the kind of hotel this is, but I guess it's the going rate in the area.

Great location for Bar Harbor and Acadia without the steep price tag. Best staff!!!
Pros:

This might be an older property but the staff was exceptional and the hotel was spotless. I was pleasantly surprised they had a great laundry room for guests which we took advantage of. They also offered a grab and go breakfast.

Cons:

Not sure why we had a sliding glass door and inside hotel door in one room but maybe summertime that is a nice feature.
