"The manager was very nice and helpful. The view is very nice and on the water. The parking is plentiful. The room is kind of old. The vanity is non existent. There is no microwave. The coffeemaker was on top of the fridge. The room was clean and maintained. Smelled a little musty."

"From a picture, we thought we would be closer to the water. There was a little view of it. This would be a great place for families with children in the warmer months, pool, and lots of room to run around or ride bikes. This is an older hotel that has been updated. We wanted to Uber into Bar Harbor but no Ubers were in the area. Luckily we were able to find parking both evenings."
