Slider to the parking lot for easy load/unload
This cute little place was just outside Bar Harbor, and an excellent choice for a place to stay that was less expensive. The gentleman checking me in was kind and quick... The room was fine. It served it's purpose. If I had to say anything at all that gave me pause, was that the room had a sliding glass door that led straight to the parking lot (and no screen or double lock). It was super convenient to load and unload the car, but I don't know that I would have felt safe leaving my stuff in the room for any time that I wasn't there.
The decor was a little dated, but still clean.
I'd stay here again.

Our room was so out dated and disgustingly kept. I cannot believe they rent it. Our slider door didn’t lock so they use a board as a wedge to keep it from opening. I took pictures as proof. I only stayed because my reservation was non refundable so I was stuck paying premium for a room that should be $50 at most

There was quite a bit of noise before 8am on Monday. May have been deliveries to the surrounding businesses. Only other not so good thing was the water in shower/bath was not very hot at all. Otherwise, it was a nice room , offered breakfast, and bed was very comfortable.

Staff was fine no complaints there. The room however had only a small window ac that couldn’t cool the room down at all. (Wasn’t on when I arrived and the room air was sticky) tried to stay the whole night couldn’t do it. Bed was very loud and uncomfortable. Left middle of the night- unfortunate.
