I’m not not an it was a clean property with friendly staff, but not truly up-to-date. Room was small. Easy walk to downtown Bar Harbor, which was nice. Very affordable. Free off street parking. Free coffee in the morning. Ice machine on site.

This motel is in a great location! You can walk into town and it’s a short drive to Acadia. The room and bathroom were clean. Staff were so friendly and chatty. They had free coffee in the reception in the mornings that was fresh. There was also a nice little outdoor common area - a perfect spot to enjoy a cool morning or evening. It is very much a no-frills motel, which was perfect for our stay.

I would call this place almost-hotel. It has the feel of motel 6. However the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff except the night receptionist was pretty friendly. It takes only 5-6 minute walk to small downtown where almost everything closes at 9. Very convenient location. We tried to find somewhere for dinner after watching the sunset at the Cadillac Summit. Nothing was open except some bars.

Tub/shower, sheets, pillows, blankets, etc all appeared clean. All staff we interacted with were friendly. The flowers, lawn, and plants made the motel so much nicer. It’s a great location in downtown Bar Harbor with easy access to Acadia. We would stay there again. We didn’t hear people talking through the walls to the sides of us but we could hear walking noises and bed noises from directly above us. When in the bathroom, you can sometimes hear other people talking. The water pressure was good. Water from the tap tasted good. One bed was a little more comfortable than the other. If you get back to the hotel after dark, you may have to be creative with where you park when the motel is full. No bugs seen indoors. The room darkening curtains don’t prevent the all of the outdoor light from shining in the room.

We stayed here one night and it was amazing. The hotel appears to be recently renovated and was very clean. It was very quiet. Our only complaint is that the sun rises very early and there are not blackout curtains on the rear so the room was very bright. The bonus is that it gave us an early start to explore the park.

Not a fancy hotel with a bunch of extras, but a very well-kept motel with attentive staff and more affordable than the fancy hotels. Everything in downtown Bar Harbor is walkable, and Acadia is just a few minutes away. A great home base for several days exploring Acadia by day and the surrounding communities at night.
