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

Overall, a great price for a clean room and a great shower. Exactly as expected, no frills but everything worked and enjoyed the stay. I did not appreciate the no room service daily, something if you wish to do is more like home, but not at all like staying in a motel. I don’t mind this type of motel service, but it shouldn’t be instituted without telling the customer. Probably was in the fine print, but I didn’t see it. Overall, I would stay here again.

The main complaint is that the shower faucet was altered so that you could not get much hot water. There's nothing worse than coming back from Acadia when you are damp and chilly and having the inability to take a hot shower. If we jad hot water, would ja e given a 4 out of 5 stars.

The pictures on the website are definitely misleading, our room was nothing like what they are showing, they may have some updated rooms but mine was not. The walls are real thin so you can hear the conversations going on in the room next door.
