The property is nice had a great time the last time I was here. This time tho one of the staff at the desk was a complete ass almost the entire stay. He didn’t want to do his job at all and was completely mean to us every time we asked a question all because we showed up too early cuz we came from up north of Maine. It was completely ridiculous

Property wasn’t in the newest of style, but it was clean and in a good location. The pool was great. We were traveling to several locations on our trip and stayed in 5 different hotels, this was our favorite spot out of the larger chain hotels we booked with.

Good variety for the continental breakfast (esp in the fridge). Very friendly and helpful staff. Posts on veranda need paint, makes it look shabby. Convenient location to restaurants and reasonable price so close to Acadia NP (18 miles).

Our stay was wonderful here and we would recommend this place to others as well. It’s a 30-minute drive to Bar Harbor, ME but really close to restaurants, grocery stores, other stores. The staff were very nice and they offered mini breakfast as well. Highly recommend!

Pool wasn’t heated! Liner/seal looks like it’s coming off the pool. We were told this was a newer suite. Suite had no kitchen towels or paper towels. No gluten free options offered for breakfast. Analog clock in suite was broke…4:52!

We had a great stay. Very quiet and we slept well. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The pool has a black ring around the edge. The lamp in between the beds would not turn on. We tried different outlets. It is also broken and very unstable on the table.
