We had a fantastic stay at the Sunnyside Motel & Cottages! The manager is so sweet and helpful and very accommodating with our late arrival due to travel delays. We had a room, not a cottage. It was very clean and comfortable. The only thing I would mention is that there is a refrigerator, but no microwave or coffee maker. Overall, for the price, I would definitley stay here again.

Thank you for hosting, Helen!

I stayed a total of four nights. The place was very clean and quiet (my room was towards the back), though the motel was full. I did not rent a car, there were two shuttle pick-up spots within walking distance. In the evening, shuttle drivers would drop me off right by the property when I gave them advanced notice. Very conveniently located. Helen (the owner) is very nice and shared interesting story and useful trip information of the area. I enjoyed my stay there.

Good things: The bed was comfy. The room was cleaned well every day with new towels. The heat/ air conditioner worked well. The parking was very convenient. Unfortunate things: Communication was poor. Once when we went to the office, there was nobody at the desk, and though we waited nobody came out. Another time, after waiting someone did appear from the back. We didn’t feel very welcome. The phone in our room didn’t work. The internet spotty was not a secure connection. We could only use the laundry before 8:00 pm, but we never did find the laundry. There was no microwave or coffeemaker in room, which we missed. Coffee was available only in the office after 8 am. The sink stopper did not work.

The cottage was very cute, very convenient. The owners are very nice and offer coffee in the morning in the office! Room was cute, clean and quiet. The only complain is that the shower was very tiny, but that’s it!! Loved my stay, thank you :)

The room I had was older, but had a charm about it. However, it did not have many plugs in which to charge devices. The area was very quiet, which is good. However, one would need a car as it is about 10 miles away. There was a bbq grill, a pool and a laundry room. I can’t comment on these as I did not use them.

The Sunnyside Motel is an excellent place to stay while visiting Acadia National Park or Bar Harbor! We liked the cottage / vintage “motel” type lodging! It was cute and in a peaceful environment, and it was nice & clean! The king size bed was big and comfortable! The owners are very friendly and helpful! I would recommend this place while in Maine! Thank you!

Sunnyside Cottages

It was a cute cottage with 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a little front porch! All we needed since I wasn’t coooking! The couple who owned it were adorable ! I felt bad for them because they could find no help so they had to clean the cottages themselves!
