The Inn on Mount Desert

10/10 Excellent
"This is a really quaint inn just a short walk to the heart of Main Street and the village green where all the shopping and restaurants are located. The room was well maintained and the bed was very comfortable. The only issue was the bathroom shower curtain which didn’t stay in place. The lobby area is very cozy with sofas and reading material. Breakfast was personalized. They have two items per day and the food is prepared to order. They also have a variety of baked items that they set out for guests. Overall, great inn, very friendly service and awesome location! I’d definitely stay here again!"
