The receptionist was very friendly. We had no complaints with at all. What we did not like was the inaccurate representation of the property. We paid for 2 days and left after 1 and booked somewhere else. We didn't feel comfortable having an ajoining door to a random room. The bathroom was falling apart. The toilet didn'r flush right. Bug bug and more bug flew in the room when we tried to get one out. I took a shower and ant drowned in the tub. The bedspreads loooked dingy. The box spring was covered but stained. The picrures displayed on the list werem't accurate.

Overall, a great price for a clean room and a great shower. Exactly as expected, no frills but everything worked and enjoyed the stay. I did not appreciate the no room service daily, something if you wish to do is more like home, but not at all like staying in a motel. I don’t mind this type of motel service, but it shouldn’t be instituted without telling the customer. Probably was in the fine print, but I didn’t see it. Overall, I would stay here again.

The main complaint is that the shower faucet was altered so that you could not get much hot water. There's nothing worse than coming back from Acadia when you are damp and chilly and having the inability to take a hot shower. If we jad hot water, would ja e given a 4 out of 5 stars.
