The room was good. There were some things that needed repaired and housekeeping not provided unless requested. We took towels to office to get replaced and office did not open till 9 and closed at 7. Requested the room to be vacuumed but did not happen. Second request I just requested a broom and swept floor myself. Fireplace installed on wall did not work. Refrigerator installed funny and wobbled. Addtional coffee for room had to be retrived from office. Not a fan of 10am check out and fee for late checkout unreasonable in my opinion

29F solo traveler, felt safe. I stayed here for 3 nights in a double room with kitchenette. I enjoyed my stay, the beds were comfortable, staff was friendly, and parking convenient. No breakfast at this time, but they have some to-go snacks after 9AM. I would add a full-body mirror to the room but other than that I was satisfied with the room. 30min drive from Acadia and close to supermarkets, dining options, and gas stations.

Our room was exactly what we needed. There was a kitchenette that is very convenient. There was a coffee maker but there was no coffee. If we would have known we would have brought some. That is why we didn’t give it a 5 star rating. Very clean.
