The hotel was very clean, staff was friendly, especially Conor who welcomed us when we checked in. Coffee and baked goods were offered all day and breakfast was excellent. The decor had a nautical flair with art work through out. We also enjoyed relaxing on the front porch. If you're planning on going to Bar Harbor we highly recommend staying here.

Disliked: Staff & service
-Room was not ready at the 3:00 PM check-in time. Staff was still cleaning an entire floor and did not coordinate with each other so they sent me to a room that was 25% ready -Staff hardly ever worked the front desk. They were not there before 3:00 PM, so you have to call in order to get someone and no one was there to check us out at 11:00 AM either. -Parking lot is not monitored. People who were not guests used the limited parking and you sometimes had to go elsewhere -Room amenities were very average. Shower was tiny. -Staff had the feel of not being welcoming/knowing what they were doing -2.3/5, will not be staying here again
