Very friendly atmosphere. Limited offerings for breakfast but they were cooked freshly and were delicious. There were freshly baked goods available to guests as well as unlimited drinks, tea & coffee. Quite a homely feel to the place. The maid service was optional and as we are conscious of the environment we chose not to have sheets or towels changed during our stay and were happy to have that option. The location was very central and overall we had a great stay. Fiona Leahy

I was disappointed. I was expecting something a bit more upscale. The place is nice enough but felt more in decline than it should have

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.
