The pictures on the website are definitely misleading, our room was nothing like what they are showing, they may have some updated rooms but mine was not. The walls are real thin so you can hear the conversations going on in the room next door.

Room was not clean when we checked in. Dead bugs on floor and filter for AC over full with lint/durt/dust. Fridge didn't stay cold and freezer area didn't work (full of water). Mattress felt hard/old. Not much room to move around in room for family of 4.

29F solo traveler, felt safe. I stayed here for 3 nights in a double room with kitchenette. I enjoyed my stay, the beds were comfortable, staff was friendly, and parking convenient. No breakfast at this time, but they have some to-go snacks after 9AM. I would add a full-body mirror to the room but other than that I was satisfied with the room. 30min drive from Acadia and close to supermarkets, dining options, and gas stations.

Pleasantly surprised by economical price for 2 adults, amenities like fridge, microwave, in room coffee, comfort of beds, up to date look of room. Great location near Acadia National Park. My only disappointment was coffee in office was not hot in AM. Overall perfect!

Our room was exactly what we needed. There was a kitchenette that is very convenient. There was a coffee maker but there was no coffee. If we would have known we would have brought some. That is why we didn’t give it a 5 star rating. Very clean.
