Pros:

room amenities, quality of details, and view fantastic. All staff were friendly and efficient. Location near Acadia outstanding.

Cons:

exercise room equipment limited and steam room out of service while we were there. Onsite restaurant open for lunch and dinner during the week would be nice.

Beautiful option if looking to splurge.
Pros:

View was beautiful - we stayed on 3rd floor King with fireplace and couch.
It was a wonderful room to come back to after beautiful visits to Bar Harbor and Acadia.

Cons:

It was slightly pricey but overall worth it since everything was beautiful. We would have also enjoyed more food options at the hotel.

This is the first time we’ve stayed a bit outside of of bar harbor and honestly it was a very pleasant stay with wonderf
Pros:

Everyone was so kind and the hotel was kept up very well. Such a comfortable stay.

Cons:

The walk to the shuttle was incredibly long, especially at night, but understandable so not anyone’s fault.
