Old style motel that has been kept up well. Baskets of flowers all around. We had a motel room with two double beds and a kitchen, and it had a large table so we could play board games.

Good location outside of Bar Harbor. The front desk person was very friendly & helpful.
The only negative was the small bathroom & shower space and the direction of shower head was not adjustable.

The owner was very accommodating with issues that came up while we were there.
I would say that the room must not have been rented out recently because there were cob webs and spiders that needed to be relocated once we checked in.

Clean. Quiet. Lock on the bathroom didnt work, and the light functionality was hit or miss. Mattress wasn't the most comfortable but thats okay. Very cost effective option.

It wasn’t a bad place to spend a night, but the water smells like sulfur, and makes you feel gross when taking a shower.
