The cottage was very cute, very convenient. The owners are very nice and offer coffee in the morning in the office! Room was cute, clean and quiet. The only complain is that the shower was very tiny, but that’s it!! Loved my stay, thank you :)

The room I had was older, but had a charm about it. However, it did not have many plugs in which to charge devices. The area was very quiet, which is good. However, one would need a car as it is about 10 miles away. There was a bbq grill, a pool and a laundry room. I can’t comment on these as I did not use them.

Cute place to stay. Convenient to all we wanted to see in and around Bar Harbor and the island. While an older property, it has been well maintained. We’d definitely stay there again.

The Sunnyside Motel is an excellent place to stay while visiting Acadia National Park or Bar Harbor! We liked the cottage / vintage “motel” type lodging! It was cute and in a peaceful environment, and it was nice & clean! The king size bed was big and comfortable! The owners are very friendly and helpful! I would recommend this place while in Maine! Thank you!

It was a cute cottage with 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a little front porch! All we needed since I wasn’t coooking! The couple who owned it were adorable ! I felt bad for them because they could find no help so they had to clean the cottages themselves!

I had made reservations here because it looked great online and I wanted to stay in a cabin. When I got there, I was given a room in the motel part which is right on the busy road. Too noisy for me as I’m a light sleeper and even with windows closed I could hear the cars go by (and I like sleeping with windows open. It also has a slight smell of mold which I’m allergic to. So I had to leave. The woman who owns it with her husband was very sweet though and I hope I didn’t hurt her feelings.

No amenities in room. No coffee, iron. No breakfast. Only coffee in office. Beds are not great. Shower stall is tiny! Location is good. A couple runs the property with no staff so no room cleanup. It was clean when we arrived but be prepared for no amenities. A no frills place!
