"I only wanted a soft bed and a hot shower after camping for 3 nights in Acadia; this motel (it's NOT a hotel) offered that. Very basic small room, clean with A/C, but I loved the grounds; very pretty, and way back off Rt. 3, the main highway on Mt. Desert Island. It is NOT an "ocean view" however; on the north side of the island there is only a very pretty far-away view of "the narrows" connecting Frenchman Bay on the east and Blue Hill Bay on the west. All but perhaps 4 of the rooms here have balconies with lovely views of this scene, but I was offered one with no view; still, I paid only $70 for the room, including taxes, which is an incredible deal given how pricey the Bar Harbor area is, even at this time of year when the summer season hasn't kicked in yet. They do have a pool and huge separate area with a lovely view of the Narrows; they offer a "continental breakfast" but don't expect more than a cup of java. I was happy with my purchase."
