Beds were clean as was bathroom. Floor hadn’t been vacuumed in quite a while. Neither had those in the hallways or communal areas. Half of the rooms in the island view Inn don’t have a Half of the rooms in the island view Inn don’t have an island view and there’s no mention of that on the website. Biggest problem was ran out of hot water the second night and into the second morning. No response from housekeeping or the front desk. Highly disappointed. Would not recommend for that reason. Spend your energy researching other places. There’s plenty of them.

No frills motel. No real highlights except the view from outside (not our room). A few issues: 1. Only one bath towel provided. 2. Office was closed most of the day. 3. Room was not cleaned/made up, and so coffee pods were not replaced.

This place has seen better days. The location is ideal, and the area to the back is beautiful. We were not told upon check in that the ice maker was broken (it was 94 degrees). The linens in the room were clean, but I would not walk barefoot on the rugs. One of the sliding glass doors would not open without incredible force. The curtains in both rooms were filthy, my lamp was falling apart, paint on the bathtub was peeling. Just needs an overhaul. The check in staff (David) was very nice and his space/building was lovely. The motel itself needs some serious TLC.

A-Z for every alphabet I can give you a terrible 1 liner feedback. Only good thing was skip alphabet 'H' as hot water was good through out the stay. Expedia has to reimburse for suggesting this poor hotel for our family. I might discontinue Expedia service after being associated for about 10 years now

The person working in the office was really a delight to speak to. The room was clean and the beds were nice. The condition of the room probably could use some attention, but it was balanced by the price compared to the other options in the area.

This hotel property feels like section 8 housing. The room was not very clean. There were multiple dead flies in the Bathroom, hairs in the bathtub, the tv was about to fall of the wall. The carpets were stained and felt gross under foot. The rooms were not restocked with coffee, tea or toiletries. All in all i world say to find another property to stay.

I am reviewing this property, although we didn't end up staying there. When we got into our room, my sister noticed the bathroom sink was filthy! Something had backed up into it. I called David (at the front desk), and he came down immediately. After checking with his boss, it was determined we could move to another hotel - Harborview Hotel, Spa & Marina (uh - YES) or David could clean the sink and hope it wouldn't back up again. Yeah - we packed up and moved! LOL! From the little we did see - I'm sure this would be a fine place to stay, and I'm sure there was an inspection of the room before our arrival, and at the time, the backup wasn't visible. Just be aware that this hotel is a few miles from downtown Bar Harbor (7 or 8) and you will have to find parking once you get to downtown. During the peak season, that is VERY hard to do (it's $2 - $6 an hour). It took us almost an hour to find parking (metered) the first day we drove down. Once we moved to the Harborside, we didn't need to find parking, because we were parked at the hotel, which is in downtown Bar Harbor. No doubt we lucked out in being moved to another hotel! I give the property kudos for recognizing a problem, and fixing it right away! Also keep in mind - this hotel is a portion of the cost of those downtown. I also feel there should be more than one person at the property helping w/ check-ins and dealing w/ any issues. David was inundated with calls while we were there, but he did GREAT!
