This motel is a hidden gem! The rooms are spacious and spotless, the breakfast is amazing (with gluten-free options!), and the staff goes above and beyond. The little touches, like cookies and drinks, really made it special. Plus, ordering everything via text was so smooth and easy. I highly recommend this place!
Everything about my stay was perfect! From the super comfy bed to the delicious breakfast delivered right to my door, this motel was a total win. The location was great for exploring Acadia. Highly recommend this motel to anyone visiting the area!
Seriously loved this motel! Clean, comfy, and such a great location. The staff was super nice, the grab-and-go breakfast was surprisingly good, and the little extras like cookies and drinks were a welcome treat. Plus, leaving my toiletry bag was no problem - they shipped it back! What a nice surprise!
This place was amazing! The room was spotless, the breakfast delivery was super convenient, and the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. I loved how easy everything was, from check-in to ordering breakfast via text. The location was perfect too, close enough to everything but tucked away in a quiet spot. Would definitely return!
What a fantastic place to stay! This motel is immaculate. The staff was amazing and went above and beyond to help in any way possible. They even delivered breakfast to our room! It was so convenient being so close to everything. The shuttle was a nice plus too. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!
