Hotel's Favourite
Our second time staying here, and great place. Large clean rooms. On the main highway, but set back, and did not hear traffic. The refrigerator in the room was much larger than you usually get in a motel room. Very reasonable, and friendly people behind the desk in the office. Not far from the Park entrance, and about 4 miles from the heart of town. No coffee maker in the room, but free coffee where the vending machines are till 10 AM.

Pleasantly surprised. Very clean and updated room. Very friendly and helpful front desk staff. Less than 10 minutes to Acadia National Park Visitor Center. A short drive to the hustle nd bustle of down town Bar Harbor. The only negative are the thin walls. Would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The owner is very friendly and the location to Acadia is fantastic. It’s also not too far from downtown Bar Harbor. The room was clean and we also used the laundry facilities which requires coins but they will give you change in the office. Would definitely stay here again.

What a wonderful old fashioned motel completely refurnished! There is something to be said for being able to park in front of your room. The room was very clean, comfortable , and looked brand new. The staff was very friendly and helpful. This is located a few miles outside of busy Bar Harbor, which was an easy drive away. We'd stay here again.

My wife and I recently stayed here during our trip to Bar Harbor. This place is fantastic. The cleanliness is outstanding. This facility probably has the best cleaning staff of any establishment that I have ever stayed at. It is located just down the road from the Visitor Center Entrance to Acadia National Park. This is plus during the season when the Shuttle is operating. You can park your car at the visitor center (pass required) and take the shuttle directly into Bar Harbor. The shuttle will drop you off within a couple blocks of the restaurants and shops in Bar Harbor. Parking is a challenge at times in Bar Harbor. I cannot say enough good about this place. The owners know the area and can offer suggestions on restaurants, etc. As some have mentioned, there is a common area where fresh coffee is available daily starting at 6:30 am. I would definitely stay again if in the area. This place is a great value.

Very clean and comfortable rooms. Friendly staff. Only minus was no coffee in the room for super early risers but it is available at 6:30 am in the vending area. Very close to Acadia park entrance and about a 15 min drive into Bar Harbor. Kelly gave us great recommendations for Bar Harbor restaurants. Great stay!

Friendly check in after driving from Boston. Location is a quick drive to Acadia. We were given recommendations for local restaurants. Room was large and with a fridge. Only negative was there was no in room coffee. It was offered in the community room. So each morning we took a one minute walk. We definitely will be back. Price was good. Only suggestion is to have coffee in each room.

This was our second stay there and it is still a great place. Very clean, comfortable, great coffee and away from the chaos of downtown. The owners are great and will help you with anything you need. We can't wait to return!

Fantastic! Very convenient to Bar Harbor and Acadia. Close to a L.L. Bean Bar Harbor shuttle pick up. Great restaurant right next door (Mainely Meats - BBQ and Ice cream). Comfortable, clean, friendly staff. Would 100% recommend.
