This was a great motel to stay in for the price. The room was clean and comfortable and it was very conveniently located to Acadia National Park. Shopping and restaurants were within walking distance, so that was a nice perk. The staff at the front desk were very friendly and easy to interact with. Parking was an issue at times and the bathroom needs a makeover, but overall, we had a great experience.

This is a good drop-in basic motel in Bar Harbor. It was clean enough - a little dusty in the bathroom. It is an older hotel that has been modernized.
