We were looking for a one night stay in the Alcadia Park. We got the recommendation from the tourist office. We called the landlady the same day. She seemed very lovely so we were more than happy to have found such a nice place. As we arrived at the inn we were very disappointed. The room was so tiny, the bed too small, the rate not reasonable for that standard. And the lovely lady wasn't such a lovely lady anymore. We had the impression that she was just interested in getting her money. The breakfast was "not bad". There was no possibility to sit and enjoy your breakfast. Just a sofa and two chairs. In general to expensive for that standard.

I thought the inn was in a great location, and the inn, itself is nice. We stayed in the largest room which had a small kitchen and bath. The room was unique; however, I felt could have used some updating. The couch had holes in it, the towels were see through and troll size. The breakfast made you yurrn for Holiday Inn Express' Continental, which is quiet sad. It was nice and quiet and within walking distance of a great restaurant.

We had booked a room for a short stay; even at the modest price of $100 in August this room was truly sub standard. Squeaky and leaky door let in mosquitoes, room smelled quite moldy and was extremely small. Even with MDI prices being on the high side, this room is way overpriced. There was no common room in this "inn".

Loved this place--location was decidedly non-touristy, the breakfast was perfect, and the owner was warm and wonderful. The rooms are simple and the place is no-nonsense. My only complaint is that the restaurants on this side of Mt. Desert are overpriced and of poor quality. Eat in Bar Harbor, hike all over the island, and stay at the Bass Harbor Inn!
