Hotel was just what we needed on a trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Located on the edge of town, it was an easy walk to where ever we wanted to go in Bar Harbor, but away from the busiest parts. Easy drive to Acadia.

Perfect for a quick get-away
This was the perfect place for the two nights we spent in Bar Harbor. The bed was very comfortable and we slept well. The location was great and there was ample parking.

Excellent location. A very easy stay. They’ve done a nice job updating but the bathroom is small and you can hear noise from other rooms.
