Overview
About This Property
It's $96.90 off-peak. Kitchenettes in every room and a free continental breakfast mean real savings. The building dates to 1972 but was renovated in Sep 2023, so it feels fresh. 18 miles from Acadia's gates, it’s a smart base for families and explorers on a budget.
Your Morning Game Plan
Skip the lobby coffee; breakfast is included, but the coffee could be improved. You're 18-30 minutes from the park entrance. Leave by 6:30 AM to beat the crowds.

The Honest Truth
Not luxury. Full kitchens in every room and a solid continental breakfast; pool is seasonal and the elevator isn't present. Watch for additional fees (pet, crib, rollaway) and aim for back-building rooms to minimize railroad noise.
Who Should Skip This
Anyone needing elevator access or upscale amenities.
