Great location with very picturesque view of water and very convenient to Acadia area. Staff was friendly and room and bed were comfortable. Worked as an easy night before making our way to two days in Arcadia area.

The property is fine for sleeping, a microwave in room would be a nice addition.Alai the website shows a cute white picnic table by the waterway, it's the only picnic table on site and now weathered and gray, which you could be ok with, but there is also an environmental fence that's been there since 2017... So please update the site for accuracy.

Most of the hotels in the area are older, I found that the towels and bedding were very new in this hotel. We were able to extend our stay which was nice. The guy working the front desk was very friendly and helpful with our stay. Would go back again.

Nice and clean motel at a good price.

This is a clean and basic motel at a good price, with amazing views of Mount Desert Island across the bay. The location is very convenient and very close to the bridges that take you to the island. I think you can pick up a free shuttle bus to Acadia from a spot near the motel. The drive to Bar Harbor takes about 20 minutes. The island is definitely bigger than I realized!

Quiet, with a beautiful view, but an older property with aging facilities. Room needed airing out, smelled a little musty. No breakfast service on site. Kind of expensive for what we got.

We stayed for two days. We read some reviews online and thought it would be a rougher stay. But alot of the reviews were debunked. The out front staff was super nice and even when the office wasn't open, had a number that we could call if we needed anything. The cleaning staff was cleaning every room when we checked in but had ours ready very quickly. There are some cosmetic things that could be fixed. One worry that we had was bed bugs, we did not see any sign of them. It was good place to stay for a last minute hotel. Would book again.
