The room was comfortable. Had minor hiccup on check in. It was resolved quickly. Cilantro bistro, the restaurant attached was very good. I will stay here again the next time I come to Ellsworth.

The immediate service was great. The room was very clean, and smelled amazing. The amenities and complementary refreshments saved the day. The price was even better. I will choose this hotel over and over again for future travels.

Last minute we decided to get a hotel room and everything was booked! I called Atlantic Coast with hopes of being able to get a good nights sleep. They answered the phone around 9:30pm and were able to get us a room within the BnB style house near their Inn. They were so quick and friendly, it was a contactless entry. The whole process was so easy and was nicer than a hotel.

Contactless check in was a breeze. Walked into a very clean room. I loved the Asian decor in the room. The bed was comfy. The shower and towels were like a 5-star hotel if not better. If you are needing a place to stay and not worried about amities this is the place. Clean safe and plenty of parking. The real super nice touch was the bottles of water cans of soda and chips waiting in the room for your use. That was a very special touch that you rarely see. A/C was super cold !

Easy parking and remote check-in by text, great location within striking distance of Acadia without the high prices, close to McDonald’s and a Supercharger, some new bathroom fixtures, good shower and AC, all-in-all a great value at the peak of tourist season, glad to have found Atlantic Coast Motel!!

Contactless check-in was smooth, even late at night. Loved the complimentary snacks. The room with two double beds was clean and comfortable, though we did see a few insects—possibly due to the weather and being on the first floor. Overall, a convenient stay when visiting Acadia, which is affordable and not very far from the park.
