Our stay at the Inn in Mount Desert was so pleasant! The facility was lovely, the staff very friendly, its location to downtown was so convenient, and the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies were delicious. We enjoyed some coffee(which is always available) and a cookie in the sitting area by the fireplace on a blustery day in Bar Harbor. We would highly recommend this place!
