“This establishment presents a compelling choice for exploring Bar Harbor, with its central position making shops and the harbor easily accessible on foot. Guests consistently note the spacious and clean accommodations, while amenities like the omelet station at breakfast and readily available coffee and tea add a thoughtful touch to any stay. The helpfulness of the staff, particularly Shenay, is a recurring positive, though some have noted a slight chemical odor in rooms that can be managed.”
