Awesome views from our room and rooftop restaurant. The included breakfast was fine and dinner was delicious too. A great location to walk the old city and even come back to the room for a break if wanted. You do pay extra for the views of course.

I would rate the Acadia Blue as a below average hotel. The rooms are decent but old, and the hallways are dark and feels a little creepy. The hotel is in a excellent area for shopping and restaurants. The big pro is the hotel has a great rooftop restaurant with excellent views of the in the city.

the hotel staff was very helpful. Dinner at the hotel restaurant was disappointing. The view was spectacular but the food was overpriced for the quality. The tables were set with paper napkins instead of cloth, and the bar selection was very limited.

Wonderful location and amazing view from the dining room. I gave it a 4 star because the room had a step-up area within the room that was difficult and a bit dangerous and the room felt old - needed a remodel. Also the staff at breakfast and the breakfast itself was less than 5 star.
