Nice area. Clean hotel, zero caracter, all plastic and cheap and ugly furniture, contrasting with the place and area, very Mickey Mouse, is not worth the price.

This was a great place to stay - a convenient location that was walkable to town but removed enough to provide some peace and quiet. It was also a quick drive to Acadia which was perfect. Room was large and well maintained with all of the amenities you need for your stay. The free lobby breakfast and easy parking onsite were fantastic too!

Very charming inn in Bar Harbor in a great location close to Acadia NP. Downtown Bar Harbor area was an easy walk down the street. Delicious breakfasts, comfortable and clean accommodations with an elevator, ice maker and laundry facilities, beautiful grounds, easy parking. Would definitely stay here again.

Definitely needs some touch up paint. Rec room/work out room needs some updating, our room had a sink without a drain stop a faucet that was loose and a hot water control that was extremely difficult to turn. Breakfast although a nice touch was mediocre at best eggs were overcooked pancakes and waffles were dry, hard and seemed to be prepared earlier and reheated or bought premade and reheated. Overall did not feel the property was worth the price paid.

For the price and from other reviews we expected more. Trash containers were full in public areas, no bar, good parking. Not an “inn” in the New England sense, think hotel. Nice garden on the side and outdoor porch seating. Lower level felt damp.

Perfect place to stay in Bar Harbor. Shopping and restaurants are all within walking distance and Acadia is just a few minutes by car. The large parking lot behind the hotel is also very convenient.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The day before our arrival we were told that our room was not available. Excuse was broken tile. They instead reserved us a room at another property. That property was very disappointing. The room was small with angled walls and closet converted to very small bathroom with slanted wall. After complaining we were given another room that was better if we ignored the missing shelf and stained ceiling in bathroom. They agreed to reduce price. Very disappointed in this forgettable stay.

Great boutique type hotel for couples! B&B feel, terrific breakfast included. Can walk to Village Green and shops in Bar Harbor waterfront. Room wasn’t huge, but very well organized and decorated; very clean too! Great front porch w/ rocking chairs:).
