Stayed here for my 3 day visit to Acadia, very glad I chose this property. Close enough to Bar Harbor and the park, but far enough away, so you’re not landlocked within the island. Clean room, clean property, parking lot is well lit night, and there’s a lobster shack right across the street that had the best bang for your buck lobster I personally found with my stay to Maine.

No Microwave, no breakfast, (just small coffee and homemade donuts ball), fridge was small, bathroom was tiny barely, you cannot move hand, just stand and take shower, very much pricey for the hotel which is 30mins far from acadia welcome center.

Our biggest complaint was the mattress- it was very uncomfortable and worn down. The room’s organization could have been better. The rack where you hang your clothes was on the wall next to the full size bed - overlapping the area where we were sleeping. The room’s cleanliness was good.,but we saw a couple of bugs.

The owner was very friendly and put out coffee and donuts for guests in the morning, which is a nice touch as are the various international flags outside welcoming all travelers. The location was convenient to visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia and the motel is right near the new Gateway visitor center (park & ride) which has a free shuttle to see the local sights, which we used several times to avoid traffic and limited parking near popular areas. We had a great stay.
