Best stay ever

I’ve never felt so good about a hotel before. Nothing but good things to say. The only bad thing was I never wanted to leave the room because the bed was so comfortable. The staff was so sweet. My girlfriend and i have been traveling a lot, and have had a lot of hotels but by far this was the best one we’ve ever stayed at and would 100% come here every time we come back to bar harbor. Instead of room numbers they have the names of ponds, Overall very quiet, with a game room, super fancy breakfast, etc. if this place had a pool i’d move in honestly.
