I also enjoyed the heated pool, which was a nice bonus. It's conveniently located near downtown, allowing easy access to restaurants and shops.

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel! The room was spacious, clean, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay, including a fridge and microwave. It was located just a short walk from downtown and not far from the Acadia entrance, making it very convenient. The only downside was that I found the location information a bit misleading when planning my trip to Schoodic Peninsula, which ended up being a lengthy drive. Overall, a great place to stay!

The location is perfect, just a short walk to town while being away from the hustle and bustle. However, the Wi-Fi could use some improvement, which was a little frustrating.

The location was perfect; it offered the peace of mind away from the hustle of downtown while still being within walking distance. We found it highly convenient for biking to Acadia National Park.

This hotel has some great features like spacious rooms and a fantastic location near downtown. I appreciated the option to choose between first and second floor rooms, especially since there isn't an elevator. However, the outdated decor and squeaky bed really detracted from the overall experience, so I hope the owner considers some updates in the future.
