Great location and service
Very convenient location with only a 10 minute walk to the center of Bar Harbor. Daily cleaning which hasn’t been true at any other hotel we’ve been to.

Nice but not great
The hotel was nice, but not great. It was clean for the most part, but there were stains on the carpet and on the furniture. Bathroom was clean, beds were clean and comfortable. Great location. Just needs a bit of updating.
