Disliked: Amenities
The rooms (bathroom in particular) were a bit outdated, but clean and what we needed. However, their WIFI service is terrible at best. And for some reason, fully knowing that they do not offer WIFI that can accommodate a connection for all their guests, they only offer streaming TV service. So needless to say, once everyone is back at their rooms trying to relax after a day of outdoor adventuring... there is not enough bandwidth to enjoy a movie without continuous interruptions nor to use phone or other connected devices. So if you plan to keep your kids quiet with a phone or tablet.... better bring a book instead and hope they don't hate you for it!!

Motel is a cute older-style motel with no-frills rooms. Rooms are safe, clean, comfortable, and good sized! Staff were extremely friendly and helpful with recommendations around town. Where this property really shines is location! Minute’s walk to everything in town, it’s hard to beat this location, especially for the price.

It's a motel so don't expect much, especially during summer/fall season! I would have given a 4-star rating if the conditioner were better!

The motel was clean and the front desk lady was super nice. The location is good and a short distance from the downtown. The property is basic though and does not offer much but if you are planning to just have a place to sleep it serves the purpose.

In general, we were very happy with the room and it's location. It was clean, and the staff was pleasant and helpful/ The web site never mentioned the availability of a microwave for customer use, but there is one in the office. We were able to walk to main street quickly. There was no table in the room, and only one chair in a 4 person room. This would have been better for us.

Nice property, great location.

Great location in Bar Harbor, just minutes away from shopping, dining and the shore. This is a nicely kept motel with all the basics, friendly staff, and great coffee in the lobby every morning! Also a plus to have a place to park while exploring Bar Harbor. Our only suggestion would be to upgrade the pillow selection in the room, otherwise, 5 stars across the board!
