Cold Night in the Isleview Cottages & Motel

After a reunion, my wife and I traveled north for a quick tour of Acadia National Park. We opted to stay at the Isleview Cottages and Motel because of its location, value and ratings. It was cold and rainy that night, about 55 degrees, as we checked in. Our room was in the motel part of the facility. As we opened the door, we were struck with how cold it was in the room. We looked for a thermostat or heater and all we found was one of those portable oil-filled radiators that you plug in to heat a small room or office. We immediately turned in on but it took all night to heat the room. That evening, we heard two cars pull up next to our room, open the doors to their rooms, and immediately drive off...presumably to find a warmer hotel. We can only wonder how they heat the rooms when it gets really cold in Maine. [Our room also had another freestanding machine that I assume is some kind of a cooler or air conditioner.]

Our room looks like it had been refurbished in the last few years. The furniture was fairly new and the room was clean. The bathroom was small and also without heat. It consisted of a small sink, toilet, Sear metal shower stall, and a small shelf over a mini-refrigerator. There was no counterspace near the sink which we found to be an inconvenient. Also you had to step around the toilet in order to get in and out of the shower.

The motel has no restaurant onsite so we drove to a nearby "lobster pound" for a delicous meal. The motel advertises a complimentary breakfast (8-10 AM) but we only saw a single table in the lobby on which to present the breakfast and no place to sit down. Needless to say, we drove to Bar Harbor for breakfast.

In summary, the Isleview Cottages & Motel is probably a decent place to stay during the summer. It was clean and comfortable and priced right. Beware, however, when it gets cold there.

Some aspects of the Isleview cottages may be a little rough around the edges, but we had a comfortable stay there. We had one of the cottages, which provided us with good sized room. Our two queen beds were on the soft side but comfortable. The linens were clean and in good shape. The room had a modern flat-screen TV. Heating was provided by a self-standing portable unit; it worked satisfactorily. A refrigerator and microwave were in the room. A desk and table with three chairs were also in the room. Carpeting on the floor was in good condition and clean. You had to pull hard on the door to make sure it latched and locked. Free wireless internet was available in our room.

The bathroom was very small. All the fixtures were clean and worked just fine. The hot water, though, was slow in coming and limited in extent; my shower was terminated when the hot water turned cold after only a few minutes.

When we checked-in there were free ear plugs on the office counter. That was for the road noise, which was quite apparent. Fortunately, the traffic abated during the night.

The staff was very friendly and helpful in giving us directions to where we wanted to go. A continental breakfast was provided - pastries, toast and coffee. Altogether, we had a comfortable stay, made even more comfortable considering the low cost.

Extremely clean rooms and linens. The owner is friendly and helpful. She gave great tips for places to eat in area. We stayed four nights in cottage 2 and loved it. The moment we entered, the room smelled so fresh and clean. Nice continental breakfast each morning, and we used the gas grill to cook our dinner one night. Location was convenient to Bar Harbor and Acadia. Check out the web site--it is very helpful and shows everything just as we found it when we got there. Great value--if you phone and stay 4 nights you receive 10 percent off bill!!

My husband and I booked four nights at Isleview after camping for a few days in Acadia. We got one of the budget rooms above the office. As said in the hotel info, the rooms are small but we found it to be plenty for the two of us. There is even a small flat screen tv in them.
The rooms were very clean and comfortable and the staff were pleasant and helpful when we asked them recommendations on where to eat.
Breakfast in the morning is bagels, bread, pastries and fruit with coffee and juice.
We thought it was a great deal for $65 a night!

The room is too small that one person can't move around in the room,there is no space at all. Situattion is like that u can just jump to the bathroom from ur bed.The bed is also too small, for two person and they mentioned it as double king size bed.Expedia has given alot of wrong information about microwave,bed size,refrigerator etc,you wont find any of these there.Never go to this hotel.The continental breakfast that they give has already eaten by someone else,FUNGUS. The shower bath is so small that you can hardly move. My advise would be to spent a little extra money and stay in a good/reputed hotel.

Management response from Lynn Kelley, Owner
(Management representative)
26 Aug 2009
This guest stayed in one of our Budget rooms which as stated on our website is value priced due to its size and perfect for the single traveler although couples frequently choose to stay in them. Expedia has correctly listed the room as having a double bed. There are no listings for King beds. If the guest had wanted amenities such as a microwave, refrigerator or more square footage they should have reserved one of our cabins which has these in them.
