    Pretty good hotel to stay. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. Service is good. Not too far from Acadia National Park. Location is pretty convenient, a lot of dining places around or near by. The only thing I don't like is that they have only donuts for breakfast, nothing else.~_^

    Stayed one night in hotel. Due to remodeling of lobby, there was no ice and no continental breakfast...the breakfast I didn't really care about, but no ice? Room was old but adequate except was very hot and stuffy, the small air conditioner has a set lower limit that did not really cool off the room. No forewarning about lack of ice and breakfast, staff made no effort to fix the problem. I'm assuming once the lobby is finished they'll have the ice and breakfast back again, but based on my experience I would not stay there again.

  • For the money (I paided $$ for a DBL) - OK

    Large room, helpful front desk, walking distance to restaurants and good price (I paid $$ for a dbl) are some of the reasons I would come back. Even though the reviews are predominately negative I reserved a room here because AAA gave this motel one diamond. One diamond mean that this is an OK motel - which it is. The rooms in the annex at the back of the motel are quite but lack wifi. When I found this out I asked for a room change and got a better room with out a hitch. My second room was in the main building, where the rooms are larger. Each room has a coffee maker (with coffee) but no fridge or microwave. The rooms were clean, BUT, the carpets in both rooms need some serious cleaning; they were grungy. I found the evening counter staff to be more than willing to please. Right next door is a fair Steak House and a so-so Thai Restaurant - best to look around. I would stay here again, I found it to be good value for this overpriced area, BUT, I would reserve a room in the main building, away from the pool and on the far side from the noisy/busy road. Ask for room 121. Recommended.

    During a recent trip to Maine for family funeral, we had to stay an extra couple of days and thought this hotel would be a good place to do so. Unfortunetly we were sadly disappointed. The rates were good, however the room and the facilities were not. Our non smoking room was located right next to the rear door of the building and directly in line with the outdoor smoking disposal area, the smokiing employees and guests used that site and all thier smoke came directly into the air conditioner and then into our room, yuck folks, thanks for sharing. The place is old and needing updating in more than just the decor,. The beds were like bricks, and the shower was iffy at best as to whether you were going to get scalded or frozen. Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh nothing like taking a nice hot...................no wait, icey shower first thing in the morning. The rampant saturday night party animals were tons of fun too as there was no sound proofing of any sort and 1" gaps under the door.
    We do not give this place a good rating and will never stay there again.

  • I would not use this hotel again.

    The pool was unfit to use. There was no gambling facilities on site. The continental breakfast consisted of doughnuts, coffee, tea, milk and something that looked like orange juice. They also had a book in the room of things to do, resturants etc. We found a resturant, in the book that we wanted to go to. When we inquired on how to get there..we were informed that it has been closed for awhile. GUESS THEY SHOULD UPDATE THEIR INFORMATION!
    There were two lamps in the room that we could not turn on......no outlets. We could not put our clothes in the closet, due to the layout, the end table was in the way. If you plan on seeing Bar Harbor and Acadia Park, this is not in a good location. The road to take to get back to the hotel is backed up for miles.
