strong air conditioning and heating, very cozy room and the staff were very helpful answering my questions about Bar Harbor and the amenities. I’d say the mattress was a bit too firm though and the pillows not that plush, but still had a good sleep.

A clean, remodeled motel room with nice shower supplies. Farther away from downtown than we thought but managable. They have no parking fee, unlike Bar Harbor motel, $8. No pool or hot tub for sore walking muscles but we survived😆.

The location can’t be beat. It was within walking distance from downtown, the restaurants and the waterfront. It was also easy to get to Acadia. The room was clean, shower had great pressure and the AC was fully functional. I would recommend and may come back!

Perfect for a quick stay two blocks from Bar Harbor main street. Park your car in their parking lot and walk anywhere in town during your stay. I loved that the staff is there 24x7. They were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and ready. Beds were a good quality. I would definitely stay again. Not too expensive. Nice grass area with chairs for sitting around outside.
