They try hard here but the facility shows its age. The hot tub wasn't working when I stayed which negated the reason I'd chosen the Colonial. But, nice people.

Perfect place for Acadia

A very good place if you are on your way to Acadia. The place is clean and comfortable. The indoor pool is nice but the hot tub is a little small. Easy to find restaurants in the area.

Nice place to stay

Use the hotel as base to visit Acadia national park.Good location, right on a road to the park. The most enjoyable was a hot toob and pool. After traveling over 400 miles, that's all I need to relax and get back in good shape.

A Second choice hotel near Bar harbor

Hotel is 30 mins from Acadia, the room is average but clean with no smells. The price may be on the higher side for the location. There are fast food chains near by. The breakfast at hotel is sub-par. Overall, would consider this only if I don;t get a good deal in Bar harbor area.

Welcome Back to the 70's

The Woman at the front desk was very, very nice.. Gave us some good information about the area. However once getting into the room was a diffrent story. Room was big, but had a very musty scent and just felt itchy. My girlfriend hated it and almost wanted to sleep in the car. If your into not worrying about much, this is the place for you.

Mothers Day Weekend

This motel is on the way to Bar Harbor and the only one we could find with an indoor pool. It is older but the rooms are extremely spacious and the staff was very nice. We enjoyed our stay.
