While the property was older and needed some furnishing updates n the original hotel (a new building just opened this year), it was very clean and well cared for. The balcony view of Bar Harbor was gorgeous! It was convenient to have breakfast within walking distance and the pool and hot tub were refreshing. Staff were friendly and accommodating. There was a pianist in the bar/lounge just about nightly and he was fabulous!

Property was older but very clean. Could hear the people above us very clearly walking above us. However we were typically too exhausted for it to bother us. Few minutes to Acadia and few minutes to shops. Indoor pool was a favorite for our daughter. Would stay again just would be on the top floor.
