Our room was really clean and pretty well kept up, beds were comfortable, and the front desk staff was really helpful. The hotel is 10 minutes easy walking distance from the main street in town, near a grocery store and gas station. Parking was plentiful, which is really important to have in Bar Harbor since parking in town is impossibly crowded. I would recommend this hotel!
