The hotel has a good view and quiet. on Expedia site, it said that this hotel is 5-6 minutes walk to the Acadia Park, but the truth is that it takes 10- 15 minutes to drive to the Park. In addition, the hotel has charged $65 more than the original online booking.

The room was clean, which is the only positive, although there was a pervasive musty smell. The rooms and some of the furnishings are very old and decrepit. My son forgot a stuffed animal that has a lot of sentimental value in our room. No doubt the cleaning staff would have found it, but it was not turned in and the hotel did not respond to my follow up calls. In retrospect I would have much rather slept in my car.

The hotel was very expensive for the condition of the room and hotel. It was very musty and had a damp smell inside. The worker/manager was a hard worker and helpful though.

The hotel is clean but no amenities. There is nothing in the immediate surrounding area and if you plan on spending most of your time in acadia or bar harbor the location is a bit inconvenient. Bar harbor is 15 to 20 min drive and parking dowtown is busy. The rideshare apps dont run in the area and the cab services are limited and expensive.

Just need to know that the shoreline is a protected species area closed indefinitely to the public. Best place to stay off the island for access.

Nice place to stay and reasonable compared to other options around Bar Harbor. You can see the view of a sea right in front so that’s a plus. Rooms are decent for the price we paid. Overall good!

Great Stay for the Price
I wasn't sure what to expect given the mixed nature of the reviews. I was traveling (solo) on a budget for a Sun.-Wed. stay. I stayed in a King room on the side with an island view, and the view did not disappoint. I felt like my room was clean and didn't have any issues. The fridge is small, and there's no microwave so you'll need to be mindful of that. It was also pretty quiet - no more nosier than other hotel stays (that could also be a result of staying early in the week). The manager mentioned housekeeping doesn't come everyday, but I must've gotten lucky because in my case they did. I also thought the manager was friendly. I didn't experience bad traffic leaving the hotel, but I also ventured out early in the morning to beat the crowds in the park (15-30 min away depending on where you're going), anywhere from 6AM to 8 AM. It's not a Hilton or Marriott, but it's decent and safe, and I've definitely stayed at worse places. Considering there are hotels of similar quality 5 minutes up the road in Bar Harbor that are nowhere near the water but cost $100+ more a night (even more if on the water), this was well worth it. Naturally, there are a lot of mosquitos, so you'll likely want bug spray if you choose to sit outside at all, and mosquitos aside, I highly recommend sitting outside and enjoying the view.

There are reviews of hotel having bed bugs. After a bad experience they refused to issue a refund. My family went elsewhere to stay. NOT RECOMMENDED! STAY AWAY.

The hotel was okay because the proximity with Bar Harbor and Acadia park by the road. But this hotel is outdated and the room smelled bad. The housekeeping staff was nice but the receptionist wasn't particulary friendly and didn't seem happy to work here.

Staff was super friendly. Room was spacious and quiet. Location was Compton the park and restaurants but a little difficult to find from address using Waze or Goggle maps. Once found it’s easy because it’s right of the main road.
