Pros:

Comfortable and clean. Great amenities especially for kids such as a pool and arcade. I liked the fact that the guest laundry was open 24/7

Cons:

The pool was very cold but my kids liked it regardless it was just way too cold for me. The bathroom sink was small so it made it hard to plug in a flat iron and you couldn't store anything in the bathroom because of lack of shelves but other than that everything was great

It was a good choice to stay 3 nights for visiting Acadia national park
Pros:

Room is big enough. Bed is comfortable. Table and chairs are convenient for dining in the room.

Cons:

There is no hot food for breakfast. In bathtub, it will be nice and safe if there were handles for elderly people to hold.
