"Probably the nicest hotel I've ever stayed, and I've stayed in plenty of pricier ones in the US and abroad. One of my pet peeves in hotels is improper lighting. Some hotels seem to think people want "mood" lighting, as if nobody needs good light to put on contact lenses or women to put on makeup. The room had excellent lighting with one exception. The bedside lamp was a sconce on the wall that worked with a light switch that you had to get out of bed to turn off. So if you like to read until you fall asleep, bring a clip-on reading lamp for your book. Aside from that, the room was beautiful, the bed and pillows were comfortable, the location was excellent, and the breakfast buffet was amazing. The only views out the window are of the parking lot or the street, so if an ocean view is important to you, this is not the hotel for you. I'm an avid outdoors person, so a hotel room for me is for sleeping and hygiene. I get my views outdoors and there're no shortage of them on Mt. Dessert Island, but if shopping and dining is your thing, all of downtown Bar Harbor is right outside your door, walking distance. No need to drive and try to find a place to park (good luck with that during peak season and it's not free anymore). I loved it and it will be my place to stay whenever I visit Bar Harbor and Acadia NP."
