This was such a great place to stay for our trip to Maine. It was in an amazing location, walking distance to all of the restaurants and shops and a short drive to Acadia. Plenty of parking. It was exactly like the pictures and reasonably priced compared to other hotels. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to visit Bar Harbor and Acadia.

The staff was super nice and helpful. Really appreciated that. The room was overclean - opened the windows to let a little of the cleaner smell out! Great location, easy walk to the main strip of Bar Harbor. Free Parking and wiFI - quiet and clean!

Absolutely perfect location. Room is very basic, but you're in Bar Harbor, should only just be sleeping in here. Can walk to everything in town. Very short drive to Acadia and Cadillac Mountain. Would absolutely stay here again. The free parking is very convenient as well.
