Categories

Cleanliness
6.8
Mixed reports: many guests call rooms and property clean and fresh, but several reviewers reported hygiene issues (one mentioned mice) and a few noted floors or areas needing refresh; overall cleanliness is below the target due to these negative reports.
Service
9.2
Consistently praised: front desk, breakfast and night staff repeatedly described as very friendly, helpful and caring; staff even assisted with room issues, driving a strong positive for service.
Location
8.6
Strong location for visiting Acadia and within walking distance of shops and restaurants; a few practical complaints (distance with luggage, stairs) but overall position is a clear strength.
Room Quality
7.4
Generally comfortable rooms and beds with some amenities like kitchenettes noted, but several guests reported dated rooms, lighting issues, small sinks, problematic AC placement and other room-level negatives.
Amenities
7.8
Breakfast, mini kitchens/kitchenettes, shuttle and complimentary snacks/refreshments were appreciated; however, misleading listing (no pool) and occasional breakfast service inconsistencies temper the score.
Value for Money
7
Mixed perceptions: some guests felt the price was excellent for the room, others thought rates were high (likely peak season) given dated aspects and intermittent facility issues.
Food and Beverage
8.1
Breakfast frequently praised as good with many options and a spacious breakfast room, though a few guests found it weak or experienced early clean-up/start-time changes.
Overall Experience
8.3
Overall positive experience driven largely by excellent staff, convenient location and generally clean/comfortable rooms for many guests, offset by sporadic facility and cleanliness issues for others.

Great place to stay
Pros:

This was a beautiful room, especially at this price point or at any price point really. Walking distance to Hannaford, Governors restaurant and McDonald's is another major plus.

Cons:

We liked everything about it from the room, the staff, the parking.

Good location
Pros:

Nice hotel near Acadia National Park. Very good breakfast with lots of options and a spacious breakfast room. Close to lots of restaurants.

Cons:

Price seemed high, but it was probably considered part of their peak season. We had a little trouble regulating the temperature in the room--it seemed overly warm.
