“While some rooms are basic, the location works nicely: it's near Acadia National Park and an easy walk into Bar Harbor. The restaurant's service ethic seems questionable, based on reports, but other staff win praise for friendliness. For travelers prioritizing location and fundamental comforts over luxury, this could be a reasonable base.”
