Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests loved the stunning ocean views and the comfortable, clean rooms. The breakfast options were appreciated, although some found it chaotic. The location was praised for its proximity to downtown and Acadia National Park, making it easy to explore. However, there were some concerns about the early closing of the bar and the lack of assistance from front desk staff regarding local ferry information.

Lisa, Aug 2019
Pros (+) Close to everything and right on the water so gorgeous views. It’s a quick walk into town for dinner and shopping so don’t have to deal with parking. The infinity pool is heated and very nice after a long day of hiking. Breakfast was included and it was a very nice one. No hot food but plenty of choices and everything was very fresh. The room was very comfortable and very clean. The shore path rig...
Cons (-) The fire pit and bar closed at 9pm which is pretty early so we weren’t real happy with that. Also we asked about ferries to one of the local islands and the front desk staff told us they didn’t know and offered no suggestions for help. That was pretty disappointing because we had to figure it out for ourselves and wound up at the wrong harbor.
