The Inn on Mount Desert

10/10 Excellent

"Front desk is only staffed at certain times so if you need anything, you have to call. Thankfully we didn’t. Breakfast is included but one thing to know is they only have 2 hot options to choose from each day. It’s in a great location, was quiet and comfortable. My one suggestion…don’t get a room on the second (main) floor. One room is right at a stairway with a bathroom across the hall that anyone can use and the other is also next to a stairway and the kitchen."
