Returning to the hotel after enjoying activities in Acadia National Park, the rooms looked impeccable each day, but security was a concern with a lack of proper locks. Dining options were somewhat lacking, given the absence of breakfast amenities, and the facilities seemed basic.

The hotel offers clean and basic rooms at a good value. The service was a mix of unfriendly and exceptionally helpful. The location is central and ideal for exploring downtown and accessing Acadia, but may not suit light sleepers. The dining options were limited, the facilities were adequate overall.

The hotel was pretty basic but looked impeccable when we returned each day after enjoying activities in Acadia National Park. The rooms were comfortable but not worth the price. The service was lovely and very welcoming, friendly, and helpful but not too helpful in recommending alternative whale watch tour operators. The location was good, close to shops and restaurants, but should be upgraded to the level of other motels we stayed in. The dining could have been more satisfying, with just coffee and a day-old muffin. However, the Pork Belly dish was yummy.

Returning to the hotel after exploring Acadia National Park was a delight as the rooms looked impeccable, though a bit pricey for a one-night stay. We felt like kings in the well-appointed room instead of being hidden away in a back room.

I booked the 2nd night of a 2-night stay. The hotel had ample parking and was within easy walking distance to most things. The rooms, although a bit tired and could use an update, were spotlessly clean and comfortable. It was nothing fancy but very clean.
