Basic Room

Great location and great service, but room was not what I would expect for $300 a night. Very small bathroom, paper thin walls, uncomfortable pillows, no coffee machine in the room, and no desk or coffee table for me to work on. The maid left a dirty coffee cup between the bed and nightstand from the former occupants. Super nice at the front desk but probably won't stay there again.

Very disappointed for the amount of money we paid. Needs updating. The people above us were loud and the floor creaked badly. Parking was terrible. Lucky to find a space.

Great location, easy walk to Bar Harbor shopping and restaurants. The building is older but very well maintained. Our room was a nice size, very clean and bright. We also got a great price compared to similar places in the area.

Extremely convenient to Bar Harbor and Acadia. The coffee in the lobby was excellent, and I am a coffee snob! Staff was very friendly and informative.

Perfect location and clean

Excellent location a few minutes walk to main restaurant and shopping area and 5 minute drive to Arcadia NP. All staff were friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. Room was very clean. Parking was easy and included. Tea, coffee, hot water, microwave and filtered water free in lobby. Mini fridge in room. Beds were a bit on the firm side but ok and pillows were a bit too stiff for me. Price seemed very high but is on par with other places in the area.
