We felt like this was the perfect location for Acadia. 4 minutes from the Hulls Cove Visitor Center but in a quieter part of bar harbor. We loved the view and the pool.
Absolutely beautiful property! Lovely view of the ocean, places to sit and relax and a nice pool! The room was cozy, comfortable, and clean! We would definitely stay here again and stay for a longer period of time. Love the decor as well!
The location is perfect for Acadia national park and for bar harbor. It is definitely on the older side but well maintained and very comfortable and beautiful view. I would stay there again.

This is very convenient and affordable for exploring Acadia! The pool is a bonus. I would stay here again.
The rooms were very clean and so cutely decorated! We had a beautiful deck that overlooked the mountains and water!
They served a light breakfast in the morning… Oatmeal, juices, apples, oranges coffee, blueberry, muffins, and yogurt. More than sufficient for my kids and me!

Beautiful views! The location was a short drive to town; the pool was well-maintained. The room was a little small for 4 people, and the rooms still require physical keys rather than key cards. This was our first time in the area so I don't know if that's common and quaint, or merely outdated.
One of the best hotels I’ve stayed at. It’s not big but had everything you need and more. The rooms and beds were big, the room was very very clean, the hotel staff were all super nice and the pool was well maintained and warm. No complaints at all
The room was clean, and the staff was helpful. The room was recently remodeled, but still had some cosmetic issues. WiFi connected, but had little to no bandwidth. The shower needs to be updated, and the water was warm but definitely not hot.
This is a great little spot with a nice view of the ocean and close to the park and downtown.
Just stayed one quick night and gone, but there is a nice pool and a beautiful deck to enjoy your morning coffee.
Room is quaintly updated. Shower feels a bit dated.
Was a great stay-just as shown in pictures and described on website. The blueberry muffins at breakfast were delicious! Outdoor pool was nice--there are no pool towels though. Parking is available close to your room. There are no elevators for 2nd floor rooms which was fine with us, but just to be aware.
The hotel was great— I had neighboring people that were loud way beyond quiet time— sun rises at 445am— if this is your sleep in day, pick a back room as people are up and making noise— sun rise is beautiful, just early
The location of this facility is great. I only interacted with the reception person a few times, but she was knowledgeable and kind. I had two concerns; 1) the room had a strong fragrance which was troublesome for my allergies and 2) the bathtub/shower is terrifyingly slick, and there is no grab bar for stability.
The property has huge potential with a nice pool in place and lovely views. Great location. A bocce or tennis court, lawn games, and upgraded seating would be great. Side tables on the decks would be very useful and shelving in the rooms would be helpful as there are few surfaces for storage.
