Super nice little motel with good parking and walkable to downtown. Candy and coffee at the front desk. Cleaning ladies did great; cleaned our room every day. I travel a lot and that’s been a rarity since COVID. Susie and all the front desk ladies were great with recommendations and just being super personable. Highly recommend!

This was a great motel to stay in for the price. The room was clean and comfortable and it was very conveniently located to Acadia National Park. Shopping and restaurants were within walking distance, so that was a nice perk. The staff at the front desk were very friendly and easy to interact with. Parking was an issue at times and the bathroom needs a makeover, but overall, we had a great experience.
