Extremely convenient to Bar Harbor and Acadia. The coffee in the lobby was excellent, and I am a coffee snob! Staff was very friendly and informative.

Perfect location and clean

Excellent location a few minutes walk to main restaurant and shopping area and 5 minute drive to Arcadia NP. All staff were friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. Room was very clean. Parking was easy and included. Tea, coffee, hot water, microwave and filtered water free in lobby. Mini fridge in room. Beds were a bit on the firm side but ok and pillows were a bit too stiff for me. Price seemed very high but is on par with other places in the area.

This was just what we needed for a quick stay. Nice clean room. Comfortable for 4. Parking super busy. 1 night it was a challenge finding parking but it was summer in June. Staff incredibly nice. Easy walk to downtown bar harbor. Food, shopping, sights. Grabbed ice cream a couple times and watch the sunset with sailboats. Quick drive to Acadia.

Uneven room service

They don't tidy up your room each day unless you complain. Otherwise, they only refresh rooms every other day.

There’s nothing fancy about this place, but it’s very clean, quiet and in an excellent location. It was exactly what we needed. Easily walkable to all the cute shops and restaurants in Bar Harbor. There’s a nice communal area in front with comfortable chairs that we enjoyed in the afternoons and evenings.

We have stayed here numerous times over the years. If you want to park and just walk to Bar Harbor and that’s it, this place can serve your needs. If you want a quick drive to Acadia, this place can serve your needs. The staff are lovely and the coffee is the best in Bar Harbor. We love how quiet it is and look forward to the serenity. The beds are comfortable, and there is plenty of room storage. The green in the middle of the property has large chairs and a picnic table. Highly recommended this property.

The staff here was exceptional. The grounds were nice and just a short walk to town and the harbor. Renovated rooms had fresh paint and renovated bathroom, but bathroom had a old wooden dresser, furniture in bed area did not match, chairs were worn. Pillows not comfy. Way overpriced at 413 a night with taxes and fees.

Nice but not great

The hotel was nice, but not great. It was clean for the most part, but there were stains on the carpet and on the furniture. Bathroom was clean, beds were clean and comfortable. Great location. Just needs a bit of updating.
