The Pathmaker Hotel
The staff was friendly and helpful. The bedding was DIVINE, they had dim lighting options (a huge boon for me) and everything was extremely clean. 10/10, I will stay there again!

Seasider Motel
The rooms were clean and as described! Walkable into town, but also only a 10/15 min drive to Acadia national park, great location! Would definitely come back.
