Cromwell Harbor Motel

"Very clean room and well maintained property! The only downside was that it was a few blocks too far from town. We are fit people, but after putting on many miles hiking everyday, we would have preferred a property just a bit closer to town because we walked everywhere. However, it was quiet and very clean!"

"Makes a nice base for exploring Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Room was recently refreshed with a coat of paint and nautical decals and new curtains. New floor treatment is nice with a rug in the center of the room. Bathroom got a refresh as well new fixtures and flooring. The continental breakfast was just adequate. Kind of a strange set up just off the lobby. 10 am checkout should be bumped to 11am. We did not utilize the pool but it seemed ok."

"I rented a one bedroom place. It had a very homey feel to it. If you wanted to, you could close the bedroom off with the French doors. The nightstand came equipped with a lamp you could use for charging you phone. If someone was using the bathroom, you can use the sink, countertop and mirror right outside the bathroom, you just have to be careful with the tv right outside the bathroom. It has a full kitchen and small porch. There’s a gas fire pit not too far from the office. It’s about 10 minutes from Acadia National Park’s Hulls Cove entrance and also near the main part of town. Unfortunately I have some complaints. The ceiling fan light didn’t work and we were told they couldn’t fix it right away. The edges of the carpet under the coffee table was folded up a little and could be a tripping hazard. The light switches should be labeled, there were a couple that we couldn’t make sense of. We were told someone would come to straighten up the place everyday and no one came. The garbage pail was overflowing. I tried for a few weeks to get in touch with the manager. I left a message a few times with the office, nobody got back to me. I then was told to email them and they still didn’t get back to me, so I called again, and still no one got back to me. It’s very unprofessional. Hopefully after they see my review, they’ll get back to me."
