Our king room 301 was clean and spacious. Mera, Sarah, Sasha, Jay, Stewart and Valerie welcomed us and made us feel at home. Excellent service and hospitality 5 stars. Breakfast included, regular hotel style hot buffet. Definitely recommend when in the area.

Wondering why the hotel hires workers who don't know how to use the phone system. Called a woman…read moreanswered (gave no name) asked to be connected to room number and guests name. On hold for 3 minutes she comes back and asks whose calling (sorry not her business but gave the info), she said ok and tried to transfer again. Not sure what was going on no music no nothing just completely silent only reason I knew I wasn't hung up on as the phone was still connected. I hung up called again, same woman answered again no name said it was a new phone system and was having trouble was on hold over 7 minutes and she hung up on me this time. Employee needs to be retrained so she knows how to work the equipement. Persons cell phone wasn't working and the reason calling the hotel directly.

The hotel says it's new, it's advertised as new all over the outside of the hotel, It's not. There were signs of age everywhere. Dated wallpapered, dim and low ceiling hallways. Old wallpaper in the rooms trying to cover up damaged walls. Air Freshener in the fan/air conditioner. Stains on the ottoman and weird stains/stuff on the desk chair. You can tell that they tried to clean it but it's very clearly still dirty We found a dead cockroach on the floor (at least it was dead). On a positive note, our breakfast hostess was amazing! She was so nice and got everything and anything the kids wanted and even made jokes and was funny. She was awesome. This is the kind of stuff I want to know when I'm looking to stay somewhere.

This fire detector went off because I took a hot shower. Maintenance came and took the batteries out.

Also, make sure you check out their photography for sale in the lobby, it makes an awesome gift or memoir from your trip! Isleview is a quaint, clean little place - nothing super fancy, but has great Maine charm. It was perfect for a trip to visit Acadia + Bar Harbor. Our room had a strip of USB plug ins on each side of the bed for being able to charge all our devices. The bathroom was clean + the shower was hot. The bed/pillows were comfy with crisp fresh white sheets + a cozy soft blanket when it got cool. There was delicious bar harbor tea/coffee/fresh fruit/breakfast bars/hot chocolate in the lobby + a water cooler to fill up your water bottles each day. We will absolutely be back to visit + thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We are talking about getting a group of us to each rent out our own little cottage here next time. Isleview will be our home base every time we visit! Thanks for an awesome stay!

We just got back from our Maine trip a couple of days ago and we had a wonderful time at Isleview…read moreMotel and Cottages. Michael was extremely helpful and offered a lot of advice about Acadia and the surrounding area. He gave us a list of local food options, guidance on how to get a pass for the park online (even printing it for us), and told us where we could find a detailed map with all the carriage roads and trails. He was also very attentive and eager to help out in anyway possible. The cottage was cozy and clean. The AC worked well, the ceiling fan was quiet and helped me sleep, the bathroom maintained a hot water temperature for two showers in a row and we never noticed any issues with it running out. Though we kept the "do not disturb" sign hung and never used the cleaning services we saw the staff with their cart with all the supplies each morning and it was clear they maintained tidiness. Beyond just the room Michael and Sabrina had added a lot of really thoughtful touches. There were two gas grills each with their own metal picnic tables, citronella candles, and grilling utensils. We took advantage of them and grilled some hot dogs one of the nights. There was cornhole, a doggy clean up station, and even a very nice fire pit set back in the woods. We never lit a fire, but we did stare gaze back there and saw shooting stars and an extremely clear sky. I saw some reviews mention that the cottages aren't that close to any of the bigger towns. This is true, but I saw that as a benefit. Bar Harbor is mad house during the day and Ellsworth is further from the park. And neither of them can offer the same level of solitude as this little spot in Trenton, ME right outside of Mount Desert Island. It's very easy to get into the park or anywhere you like on the island. The loop bus even stops nearby. I don't have a single complaint about Isleview. It was a great place to stay and much more affordable than similar places just a short drive away.

Unfortunately, we arrived, exhausted after a long drive, to the loud sounds of the dehumidifier and window A/C unit. Every foot step and voice could be heard from other rooms. Our room (lodge #19) was clean but extremely outdated and poorly maintained. The wallpaper was peeling in multiple areas and the door seal was not secure, allowing for multiple bugs to come in throughout the night. Even with the A/C unit and dehumidifier off, the loud sounds from the road and airport nearby made for a very unpleasant sleep. If you're a light sleeper, this is absolutely not the place for you. Additionally, the bathroom had multiple carpenter ant holes and the bathroom dial for hot and cold water had to be turned around in nonsensical ways for the water to warm up. The beds were very hard and springy, making it difficult to rest for someone with back issues. Immediately, we knew we would be unable to get any rest here for 4 nights. I called the 24-hour service number and explained to them the issues with the room. I really appreciate how quickly they resolved the issue and offered us a full refund for the nights we were no longer going to stay. They were very professional throughout the whole time and Aaron adjusted our stay on Airbnb so our refund could be processed promptly. After 1 sleepless night, we checked out. While the staff were amazing, this place in need of serious renovations and I would not recommend for anyone who is looking for a relaxing room to decompress and rest in.

We slept well each night - the memory foam mattress topper was very comfy. The dehumidifier and mini split ac unit in the room provided nice white noise so we couldn't hear any traffic/airport/human noise from outside at all and the temperature was comfortable. It wasn't too bright in the room in the morning. The hot tub was so nice to soak each night after hiking in Acadia, and we loved taking advantage of the fire pit two of the nights. The staff were wonderful and other guests were kind. The hotel has an ice machine and a water cooler in the main lodge, and they have snacks, dog treats, hot coffee and baked goods in the main lodge. They also have smores kits, games, puzzles, books, and just about anything else you could need, as well. WiFi worked well in our cabin. I'd be cautious about relying on many of the other, negative reviews on this website as many of them are outdated and the property seems to have made many improvements responsive to them. Location is awesome, too - pretty much equidistant between Bar Harbor and Ellsworth so you have plenty of dining options, and very close to Acadia for hiking, etc. Look no further and stay here! Prices are very fair for what you get.
