I don't understand the glowing reviews but here are my observations. Never stayed at a BW so this was a shock to see a roadside motel set up. 1. room was very dark and dreary with little light options and one window covered w heavy drape. 2. no sofa, just one chair.

I don't understand the glowing reviews but here are my observations. Never stayed at a BW so this was a shock to see a roadside motel set up. 1. room was very dark and dreary with little light options and one window covered w heavy drape. 2. no sofa, just one chair. If there is more than one person you have to sit on the bed or at the desk 3. The reason for one star? OMG the bathroom door is a barn door and is so open, does not seal around the edges at all. Zero bathroom privacy, it is like having a curtain instead of a door. Ewwww. I will never stay in a hotel with a barn door for the bathroom 4. No closet, just a rack in the corner of the room 5. Located on busy street, no sidewalks and no place to walk anywhere. Also located five miles from the town of bar harbor. 6. Free breakfast the first day that said "hot breakfast" but the main entree was hot hard boiled eggs :( Now the positives 1. Every staff person is so nice and works so hard and goes the extra mile, very impressive. The lady at the front desk was awesome and so helpful. 2. It is close to the entrance to acadia national park 3. The price was $200, good compared to the other hotels close to town. So while this place did not work for us it might work for others, it depends on your comfort levels. I prefer to have a bathroom door. Read less
