Stayed here for 2 nights to hike in Acadia. The room was very clean and spacious, they opened about a year ago and still smells new. Staff was really friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Breakfast at the restaurant was included, numerous choices, and all of it was amazing! Within walking distance for everywhere we went within Bar Harbor. Grocery store right across the street and Walgreens right down the street, parking included. Would definitely stay here again!
