Top Naturalist's Notebook Hotel Reviews

Kimball Terrace Inn Northeast Harbor

8/10 Good

"Great service and clean room!"

2 BR Next to Beach & Park Entrance! [The Notebook]

10/10 Excellent

"Feedback:Loved the location. Convenient to the beach and bike rental shop. Easy drive to Bar Harbor.The kitchen is well equipped for quick meals, but there is no dishwasher. Small Safety issue - A light is needed by the front door near the entrance so that the dark staircase can be safely navigated at dark. It was hard to see.Bathroom:Towel bar kept falling apart. One end bracket was very loose and needed to be re attached. The plumbing fixture over the sink was too large, A nice design but such a large size fixture over the sink made it hard to use the sink.Main bedroom:The top dresser drawer is broken. Suggest they invest in some sturdier furniture.The deck is not accessible from the unit. You have to exit the unit downstairs walk to the rear of the unit and climb a flight of stairs to access the deck. By and large, I really liked our little abode!"

Acadia Quiet side Studio. Modern feel in the quaint Maine woods. Full kitchen.

"When checking in we were told there would be breakfast Continental from 7:00 - 9:00, when we came down the plates labeled Muffins and Quiche were both empty and no one was around to refill it. Another guest commented the same frustration to me. I'd rather not be given the expectation if they weren't going to support I."
