Our room was conveniently located on the ground floor and we were able to park right outside the sliding glass doors, making it really easy to unload luggage. The desk staff was very friendly and the bed was excellent. The in-room refrigerator was blissfully quiet, and the "grab and go" breakfast had excellent options. Best of all, there's a Thai restaurant immediately adjacent! We were very happy with our stay, and its convenience to access Acadia National Park.
