Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay overall at the hotel. The rooms were great, spacious enough for a family of four and kept in good condition. The service was friendly, but there were some areas for improvement in attentiveness. The location was convenient, with an inviting atmosphere; however, the view was not the most appealing. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with room for improvement in food quality and variety. The facilities were decent, offering what was needed for a comfortable stay.
The hotel rooms were nice and spacious, clean and comfortable, and located conveniently. The service was excellent despite some minor hiccups, and the location offered stunning views and easy access to nearby attractions. The dining options were good but a bit pricey. Overall, a pleasant stay with great value for the money.
The hotel definitely has its highs and lows. The rooms, although a bit dated in appearance and smell, were clean, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet. However, the service fell short of expectations despite some helpful and friendly staff members. The location offers inviting surroundings and great amenities, but the dining experience left much to be desired. Overall, a decent stay with a few notable drawbacks.
The hotel offers a modest room with a lovely view of the ocean, but noise from neighboring rooms can be heard. The location is great, close to town and with beautiful surroundings, although some areas are not well maintained. The dining is good but slightly overpriced. The service is friendly overall, but some staff members may not be as enthusiastic.
The hotel was right on the cliffs of the Gulf of Maine, offering amazing views, but the room temperature was not adjustable, and the price was on the higher side. The service was very friendly, although there were some areas for improvement. The location was excellent, near Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, but close to the restaurant exhaust system. Dining was delicious, especially with fresh local fish, but the facilities were just okay.
The hotel's rooms have a horrible old style with no wall thermostat, making it hard to regulate the temperature. The family event room I stayed in wasn't facing the parking lot and had a foul smell. The service was subpar with unaccommodating staff, and there were some inexperienced but friendly faces. The location is fantastic, near Bar Harbor town and Acadia, but the front desk staff seemed annoyed with guest requests. The dining experience was average, with good options but nothing exceptional. Overall, the facilities were lacking in some aspects.
