Stone Park

10/10 Excellent
"I had a great stay at Stone Park. It’s an apartment-style hotel, and the room was much more spacious than a typical hotel room. My unit was essentially a studio-style space with a bathroom, a living area with a kitchen, and a separate bedroom area. The property was very quiet, and I slept really well during my stay. There is also a small gym with enough equipment for a quick run and some basic strength training, which was a nice bonus. The location was very convenient, with restaurants and supermarkets nearby. They also offer cakes in the morning, and coffee and tea are available in the lounge throughout the day. Stone Park is about 20 miles from Acadia National Park, making it a convenient base for exploring the park while still having access to nearby restaurants and other amenities. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend Stone Park, especially for anyone looking for a spacious, quiet, and convenient place to stay while visiting Acadia."

"V convenient/quiet location for Bar Harbor/Acadia. Housekeeping isn't every day unless u request it and there is only 1 little trash can which fills quick. Front desk staff is VERY friendly/helpful but only staffed till 9pm so get your in-room coffee refills at check in. Ice machine and filtered water (around back) are critical as the water in Trenton doesn't taste too good out of the tap. The Keurig coffee and mini fridge in my room worked well as did the AC/heat. Picnic tables are set up in the back to enjoy the gorgeous view."
