"The room is spacious and clean, the view was stunning -- we could see the sunrise from the balcony -- and the front desk staff were helpful, courteous, and knowledgeable! We stayed on the fourth floor, and the rain shower water pressure was more than adequate. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely stay again."

"The room is outdated, but very clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. On site parking was convenient. One downside is that I am 77 with some back issues and the room was on the second floor, so I had to climb the stairs multiple times. if you have no issues walking, it was located close to the shops and restaurants."

"This was exactly what our family of 6 needed for a one night stay on the way to Acadia. Free breakfast and a clean room with enough beds for all. We did not end up using the playground but nice to know it was there if we had more time. Lots of close restaurants too and an easy ride to Acadeia in the morning."
