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.

Day 2 maintenance was called while I waited and door was finally repaired. Asked about room cleaning and they said someone would stop in on the third day. Day 3 we were told the desk clerk on day 2 forgot to put us on the list so they were not able to clean our room. During our stay I had to go get toilet paper and paper/plastic cups from them. No cleaning person showed up to restock those items or to empty trash. One positive note was the coffee machine in the breakfast area was finally working this morning.

It's not as expensive as hotels closer to Bar Harbor. Save your coins, book well in advance of high season, and stay at a nicer place.

I never set one up, so I asked if he could run it as credit and he got a little snippy with me. He held onto my card and told me i need to provide another form of payment.

I finally got it sorted out, got my pin and paid but the whole transaction left a bad taste in my mouth. The room was ok. The bed wasn't super comfortable but it was fine for the night. If you're looking for a cheap place to crash during the summer, it's good for that. I heard, from a few patrons, the Thai restaurant attached to the motel is pretty good. That may be worth checking out.

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.

On the other side of things, the hotel rooms are extremely small and the bathroom has no ventilation outside of the window and even with opening that, expect that your room will get extremely damp. The floors are not kept well at least in the room we stayed in either. They were a little damaged in spots and I'm sure that some of that is from the moisture. There also were not a lot of places to plug in devices either. Also, staying for over a week we never once saw anyone sweeping the floors in rooms that people had left and/or we never heard a vacuum. The towels and bed sheets were clean. This brings up another note, when we did laundry there were dead cockroaches in the floor from where the hotel had not swept them up. I think we counted at least 6. It would have also been nice to have been able to use the swimming pool but it was also not open as advertised. It didn't open our entire trip and it was advertised to be open a few days after we arrived. Also some of the breakfast items were not available on the menu either and they ran out of most of the items as we progressed throughout the week. Would recommend only if you are planning to stay maybe 1 night.
