    No water pressure for showers. It takes 20 min for one. The pressure is that low.

    The area is quiet and the rooms are beautifully done.

    More space in bathroom to put toiletries.

    This motel was older but very clean. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet at night. I thought it was a good value for the money and there were plenty of restaurants close by. My only criticism was that it took a long time to get hot water in the bathroom and there was no space to put toiletries.

    Can hear noises from adjacent room. It was quiet (except road noise) after 10PM. The bed was very firm.

    Pleasant staff. Nice set up for a weeklong stay with kitchenette. Chairs to enjoy the outside. I felt safe (solo female traveler). Room large enough to do my yoga. ☺️

    The place is a very tired, looking and feeling hotel. The beds are extremely uncomfortable and mattresses were worn so much that there was a bow in the middle of them, extremely small bathrooms, no place to put your luggage, room was dirty not because it wasn’t clean just because it was old.

    Check experience in front desk clerk were very efficient and friendly, hotel is very easy to get to.

    Had no carpet, only a vinyl panel floor. No table on one side of bed. No lighting over the kitchen counter. No exhaust fan over cooktop stove. When sitting in bed to watch TV the bed kept sliding away from the wall. Need rubber coasters for bed legs. No reading light on one side of bed. The other side had a table with a lamp. There was only one plastic glass, 4 plates that didn't match, 2 bowls that were plastic, and silverware was mismatched and limited. There were only 2 paring knives. There were no larger knives to cut up vegetables. There was no cutting board. There was no do not disturb sign available to hang on outside of door.

    Pillows and bed comfort were good, Newly renovated kitchenette and bathroom. Loved the Mini split/inverter by Mitsubishi, it worked well to cool and heat room. There were multiple nice pans with lids of all different sizes. There were spatulas and serving spoons and 4 steak knives. I liked the granite top counter. The towels were nice.

    There were a few bugs in the room, but they are clearly working on that and the exterminator was there in the morning.

    The staff were very helpful and friendly, and the property and room were attractive and quiet. It was a great location, a little ways away from the main tourist areas.

    Pricewise it felt a little expensive given that there are no laundry capabilities and it's a pretty simple place, but we did book last minute and went during a busy weekend (July 4th) so it is what it is

    Room was decent and staff were friendly. It was around a 30 minute drive from Acadia National Park depending on traffic. Good for a short stay if all you need is a place to shower and sleep.
