The motel overall is good. The cleaning staff missed a whole day and never replaced the toilet paper, we had to go ask for rolls. This is a very basic room, but it is clean. No bells and whistles at all. It is very convenient to Bar Harbor center and to Acadia National Park. It was way overpriced for what it was.

I knew Bar Harbor was a very expensive destination but the amount we paid for a Motel 6 like room is unreal. It does have a convenient location and staff were friendly but it is run down and the mattress was very uncomfortable. The tv had no cable only Roku that didn’t work at night.

Perfectly placed for ease of access off the main route, quick walk to town and waterfront but away from the main hustle so quieter. The ladies on the front desk are so warm, welcoming and helpful. We had everything we could need in a clean and comfortable room. Perfect for what we needed.

Dated Motel. Not much counter space or sink space. However, beds were clean and comfortable. 24 hour coffee. Staff friendly. Great locatin - easy walk to town which is a big plus in Bar Harbor where parking is a nightmare. Would defintely stay again.

Location perfect for visiting Bar Harbor. However the motel is very out dated. Mattress is very old and soft. Drains do not drain well. Toilet seat was falling off. No exhaust fan in the bathroom. Upstairs walkway unlevel and could be a potential issue for someone with mobility or sight difficulties.

I liked the ability to walk into the heart of downtown Bar Harbor and the proximity of restaurants. The outdoors lawn and seating area was also a nice feature. Our TV did not work after the first few hours of a multi-day stay and we were told that reception was internet dependent and sketchy at times. This was a big inconvenience not getting weather, news and sports shows. The high cost of the room would suggest they need to provide more reliable service.

Very clean, staff are exceptional. Super convenient to walk to most places. Easy parking. It is an older property so don’t expect it to be perfect. If people walking above you bothers you get a downstairs room. Highly recommended.

Five stars for this budget-friendly motel in an ideal location in busy Bar Harbor! We stayed four nights while cycling through Acadia National Park. It was a short ride to the park and an even shorter walk to the bars and restaurants in BH. Natalle and Susie in the office were wonderful and made sure that there was always hot coffee available. Our rooms were spotless.

Odor

The hotel was generally just ok. Most disturbing was the strange odor in the stairwell leading to my room. Also no screens on the windows meant no fresh air.
