The hotel was great -- good location (about an hour to AcadiaNP), friendly staff, clean rooms. We had a view of the river from our room and there is a path behind the hotel to walk along the waterfront. The only down side was the mattress and pillows -- way too soft! Since we were exhausted after hiking all day it was bearable (would have slept on a bench). If the bed was firmer it would have been great!
