"Large, comfortable and clean room. The staff was excellent - very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay there again! Easy walk to shopping and the walking trail along the water. Also very close to Acadia National Park."
"Was a great stay-just as shown in pictures and described on website. The blueberry muffins at breakfast were delicious! Outdoor pool was nice--there are no pool towels though. Parking is available close to your room. There are no elevators for 2nd floor rooms which was fine with us, but just to be aware."
"It was a fairly nice place. We stayed in the front building on the third floor. The open balcony across the front was shared if you want to sit out which is fine. Great view! The carpet on the balcony really needed to be replaced. My big issue was there were no blackout drapes so the room never got dark at night. The overhead outside lights stayed on all night which would have been fine if the rooms had blackout curtains. The blinds were built into the patio doors and were light filtering. Just could not get a good night's sleep."
