Kimball Terrace Inn Northeast Harbor

A bit dated, but lovely setting. We were early in the season and the room was musty-smelling. Basic furnishing, but clean. Beds were just okay. Mattress was covered in "plastic" cover. I understand that this is necessary for hygenic reasons, but the beds were noisy when turning over and "ruslted" all night. Nice front desk staff. Breakfast not included or available when we were there; week-end before Memorial Day. Beautiful setting on the harbour and when pool is open, it would be quite nice.

The free WI-FI didn't work. beds were VERY uncomfortable...Vending machines were mostly empty. Even though I told them there would be 3 of us the room was only set up for 2 (2 sets of towels) very outdated.

We enjoyed our night there. The staff was very friendly & helpful. The location is quiet & nice.

The motel was just fine. The restaurant was over-priced, which would have been tolerable if the food had been excellent, and it wasn't.

Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with my stay here. The Inn is located a block from the free shuttle to stops throughout Acadia and Bar Harbor. And the rooms were very spacious, and had a large private balcony (in my case, facing the harbor). Since it is an inn, though, don't expect luxury. The towels are tiny, and the walls are fairly thin. If possible, try to get a room on either the top floor, or on the part of the second floor that does not have any rooms above it. I could hear my neighbors running around at 10 pm, 2 am, and 6 am. Not too much fun.... But, aside from those things, the stay was wonderful.

Sounds above and next door are clearly audible. Especially bad are footfalls on the ceiling - a second floor room is a must. Black-out curtains are not installed so the rooms are bright when the sun rises. There are no coffee makers or mini fridges in the rooms. The pool closes at dusk so no nighttime dip in the pool. The distance to Bar Harbor is about 20 minutes by car and Northeast Harbor, while cute, has few restaurants or bars.

very nice and clean hotel to stay, great harbor view outside. not very close to the park, but easy access to the main road.
