Ask for a refurbished room. Old rooms need help but they are better than tent camping. Our room was small with an even smaller bathroom, only one person at a time to do anything. The bed was good. The door had a broken part that you could see outside. All in all it was worth the money.

No refrigerator or microwave in rooms. Listing on Expedia was very deceptive. The heater stunk when we tried to turn it on, so we slept with sweatshirts and the one tiny blanket that’s provided. It smelled really strong like chemicals and cleaners. The door had a large crack underneath.

Clean and cheap.

Hotel was clean. My only complaint is our room smelled weird. Not so bad you couldn't stay there but just not fresh. Hotel rooms are small but cute. Our shower drained very slow so we had long delays in between showers. Room and hotel were fine and assuming for the price isn't a bad deal. No frills.

The property is beginning renovations, but is mostly still in need of updating. We stayed where the rooms have yet to be updated since probably 1950. The rooms are cleaned, because you can smell the fabulosa. The windows are so old i felt slightly unsafe, but mostly because there was a man outside pacing back snd forth at all hours, almost the entire trip. He didn't borher us, but his strange presence made it worrisome, snd i do wonder why the hotel allows him to hang around. The staff was polite and reponsive.

Great- Cheapest thing around area. Awesome place to eat next door called “Lobster Pot” and putt putt on other side ( though we didn’t do that) Worst- bath tub/ shower wouldn’t drain and Not a place to linger at even a moment when you aren’t asleep.

Looks like the roof is about to cave in I paid 130.00 on Expedia app which was supposed to be cheaper than paying in person. when I arrived the price that they had was 79.00 there was no refrigerator inside the room and everything looked like it was stuck in the 50s.

Nothing is unique about this property except for the fact that the bathrooms are about the size of restroom facilities on airplanes. The property was small and had few, if any, amenities.

Robbins Motel - no frills

The motel was strictly a no frills establishment. Sink hot and cold plumbed in reverse. Toilet had some kind of device attached that often set off an alarm upon flushing. It could be easily silenced, but was most disconcerting. Microwave available in office sufficient as a no frills place. Addition of the smallest available mini fridge in room would make a huge difference in step up from no frills to limited frills. Clean, but could use minor updates and still be basic accommodations. Free parking and outside the hub bub of Bar Harbor town center a plus. Very pleasant staff.

I didn't check when I booked, so it was technically my fault, but the room didn't have a fridge or microwave or a coffee maker for that matter. This is the room I stayed, I don't know if others had it. Also, the room that I stayed it's tiny, the bathroom felt like a airplane bathroom. I had to duck to take a shower since standing up, my head is above the shower head. Another complaint that I had is there's a table to the right of room and you don't have a single electrical outlet on that side, there's only two on the left side which I to share with a so I didn't even bother using my laptop since it's power hungry.

I want my star back. No really, give it back. It is technically a motel. It has a sign that says so, they take your money, they give you a key to a room, meeting that definition. The room is difficult to describe. There is a bed. There is a bathroom. There is carpet on the floor. We brought our own sheets to cover the ones provided and our own pillows, we had zero expectations for quality bed linens as we read the reviews. The light above the “headboard” (a board screwed to the paneling) looked as though it had drawn blood. It did what a bed does, providing some padding and keeping one off the carpet. Speaking of the carpet, bring shower shoes so you don’t have to walk on it. There was a desk in the corner to keep your bags and valuables off of it. The bathroom is really something to admire or abhor. You can use the sink, it probably won’t fall off the wall, it hasn’t yet. The tub is, by motel rule, to be used for showers only. I cannot rate that experience as we did not use the shower, or the water. We used bottled water to brush our teeth. The toilet was a place to sit. The toilet paper was on the back of the toilet as the holder was broken and dangling waiting to cut your leg. The sliding door didn’t work. So you get to keep eye contact with your partner, romantically, as the room is small. Then there is the smell. We have spent the better part of three days trying to describe the smell with words. Start with the blue stuff used in a porta-potty. I am not saying

DO NOT STAY HERE!

Do not stay here!! The photos of this hotel do NOT match the photos on Hotels.com. We pulled up to this motel and thought we were in the wrong place. The property is run down, has a sagging roof and the rooms look terrible. After veiwing the property (no one was in the office so we drove around) and decided NOT to stay there and forfeited our payment it looked so bad. It's cheap for a reason - again the photos look nothing like the property. We called Hotels.com and they said they were unable to refund our payment even thought the property was not as advertised.
