There were movies - both a kid friendly and an adult(ish) movie. You could sit out back and watch the massive wake, you could sit inside. Seats were comfortable. The upper vehicle deck attendant was especially nice because I was traveling with animals and she checked on them and found me to tell me they were ok! I've never left them in a car for 3 1/2 hours by themselves on a vessel before... it was a new thing. They did great! (well, apparently, one gets sea sick, I learned , not too bad, but was fine once we landed in Nova Scotia) There was food, although not great and also could not pay with an American Express card. A very common internationally used credit card, also an American ferry/ship, and can't use AMEX?? I booked my ticket with AMEX but couldn't buy food on board with it. That's kinda weird. So I'm knocking off the 1/2 star for that. Although I'm giving a full 5 for the review because this was a convenient and quicker way to get to Nova Scotia. And I'd totally do it again.

The CAT Ferry is a car/passenger ferry that navigates between Bar Harbor, Maine, and Yarmouth, Nova…read moreScotia in about three and a half hours. It's a huge savings in time (and perhaps money, too). If you book early, as we did, you get substantial discounts, and that's worth doing. The ferry leaves from Bar Harbor at 3 p.m. daily and from Yarmouth at 9:30 a.m. Remember to add an hour when going from DST in the states to Atlantic time in NS. The ferry is remarkably comfortable, with this caution: it is made of relatively lightweight construction which can result in more movement than might be expected while crossing the Gulf of Maine. Bottom line: one of our party got sick coming and going, partly because seas were running nearly 7 feet on the return journey, almost high enough to force cancellation. We're happy to report members of the crew are friendly experts at helping those who do have issues, and we found that when we reached shore all the sickness disappeared. It's not a bad idea to take some motion pills before you depart. As mentioned, on board is pretty comfy. There's lots of seats forward and aft (and in the middle), snack bars with modest but kind of pricey sandwiches and pastries, movies, and spaces on seats where passengers can lay down and rest or doze. Bingo games go on, there's decent wi-fi, and weather permitting it's fun to walk the outside decks or watch the ferry's gorgeous churning wake. Loading the cars is quick, unloading not so much. In Yarmouth, it took just about 75 minutes to clear customs in our car because there were only two Canadian border agents around. It was much better coming back to Bar Harbor where three US customs agents moved cars much more quickly.

We stayed here only one night. We were in the lodge, and it has what you need. Plenty of chairs in…read moreour room, but not really any for lounging. The best thing for that is the wrap around porch. So lovely to sit and watch the water and the sunset if not foggy. We ate dinner and breakfast. Both delicious. The chowder was yummy without being too creamy. Fresh salad! The brandied lobster sauce over fish was very good. Vegetables done perfectly. We had the omelette breakfast- quite delicious and great service!

I do enjoy this brand of hotels. You defiantly know you're staying at a Hilton brand. Our room is…read morecomfortable. They have a pool area, we're not going to use today, have fooseball tables, pool tables areas for people to relax. One thing would be nice, adding the continuous fan option to the air conditioning systems. It so helps with noise from the road and other guests and a great time for light sleepers like me.

We have long been priority members at Hilton, but this was our first stay in one of the brand's Tru…read morehotels. We were not impressed. Tru was created during the pandemic, and so it is bright, metallic, open and probably easily cleaned. Those would seem to be the virtues as far as we are concerned. To be more specific, our room was very quite small, there was no closet (only several wall hooks), the AC was noisy. Our bed was comfortably firm, and the bathroom was clean. But then, the floors have no rugs, so it's easier to keep everything clean, we presume. All in all, we felt like we were visiting in some sort of experimental domicile. The lobby is very open with seating spread out, and the hotel urges visitors to sit and hang around there. Oh yeah, the breakfast bar offered pretty limited selections and wasn't very tasty. We won't be back.
