Hallowell Holidays from £604

Simple but great. Probably recently renovated, clean rooms, brand new towels. Good location.

We had a wonderful stay! The view from the ocean front room was absolutely gorgeous even when there was nothing but fog to look at. A couple of things I’d like to point out: the mattress was tilted significantly towards the headboard and was quite uncomfortable; there was some mildew or mold on the ceiling in the bathroom; unable to open the windows.

This property was absolutely stunning! It was clean, convenient location with lots of food places close by, short drive to Bar Harbor, and had all the accommodations like extra towels and blankets. We had a great time and would absolutely stay again!!

I was nervous about not staying at a chain, but Stone Park was great! The suite was spacious, sparkling clean, and had convenient USB ports and other modern touches. I’d just recommend blackout shades in the bedroom.

The property itself was what you'd expect from a motel. We had issues from the start. We couldn't open the door using the code that was texted to us. A fellow traveler staying a few doors down had to show us how to get the door open. (This was after I'd texted and called the main office.) Once we got inside, the water pressure in the sink was stronger than in the shower, where the water merely trickled. The deadbolt on the door wouldn’t lock, so we put a security latch on it. The next morning, we couldn’t get out of the room because the latch had gotten stuck in the door. I called for help again, and maintenance came to assist. He had to go through our neighbor's door to reach us and then stood there for a while trying to figure out how to open the door. Meanwhile, the manager called and yelled at me for putting extra security on our door. She insisted that the lock was new and that there might not be a way to open the door, citing it as a safe neighborhood, etc. She ranted for about three minutes, complaining that we had messed up the door. I let her yell and simply apologized. After I hung up, the maintenance worker popped the door open and we received another talking to about keeping things out of the door. Sorry, but I've seen way too many movies where not keeping yourself safe in a room did not end well. Overall, if I ever end up in Ellsworth again, I'll look for another place to stay.

Our stay was wonderful here and we would recommend this place to others as well. It’s a 30-minute drive to Bar Harbor, ME but really close to restaurants, grocery stores, other stores. The staff were very nice and they offered mini breakfast as well. Highly recommend!
