Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was an unexpected treasure. The room was clean and functional, quite spacious for two of us, and overlooking the bay. The service was excellent, with helpful and courteous staff ready to assist. The location was great, convenient to both the village and Acadia National Park, offering a nice view. However, the dining experience could be improved, not varying much day by day.
My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were well-equipped and clean, but they tended to feel a bit humid due to poor air circulation. The accommodations were lovely, and the Looking Glass Restaurant was a highlight of my visit. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure my comfort. The location was convenient, especially being close to Acadia National Park. However, the dining options left something to be desired. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were huge and had a lovely balcony where I could see over the trees to the ocean; my favorite place for a cocktail and a relaxing atmosphere with live entertainment by Bill Trowell on the piano nightly from 7:00 PM-11:00 PM. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable with a gas fireplace, fridge, microwave, and Keurig coffee maker. The only downside was that the room really needed a lot of help.
