The low price reflected the quality of the hotel. Our room was tiny by any standards. The sliding door for the bathroom was very difficult to open or close. The sink drain filled up with water so quickly that I used the bath faucet for everything. AC was loud. Very little shelf space in room or bathroom. Only a few electrical outlets available and no USB ports. On the plus side, everything was clean, bed and pillows comfortable, parking was right outside our door, and desk clerk was nice and efficient. Good TV with lots of channels. Location was only 2.5 miles from entrance to Acadia National Park and 5 miles from Bar Harbor.

This motel is the worst lodging I have ever encountered. There is no standard to compare it - makes Motel 6 look like a luxury hotel. The reception and staff were cold and rude. I was traveling with my daughter and we didn't feel safe or comfortable. There were random men sitting around outside in the parking lot when we checked into our room. The lock on the room didn't seem very secure and we didn't feel comfortable at all. The room had a terrible odor of old and damp wood from the dark wood paneling throughout the room. The lighting was terrible so we couldn't see very well. The shower and toilet had very low water pressure. The bed was hard and painful. The linens and blanket were old and thin. There were insects flying around in the room when we turned off the light and tried to go to sleep. The motel is right on the main road to Bar Harbor and the road noise was very loud late in to the night and early morning. We were not able to get a good nights sleep. We had originally booked a room for two nights but had to check out after the first night. I contacted Expedia support the night before regarding the situation and they said that they will send a email to the property and escalate the case, When I followed up the the motel the next morning, I was informed that they had not received anything from Expedia. I recontacted Expedia and the support agent asked me for the motel's phone number which was very unprofessional. The motel and Expedia refused to refund the 2nd night.

Okay people are dramatic. It's not that bad. I booked this place last minute on the 4th of July for $120 after fees. I was reading reviews and you'd think this place would be a blood stained rat infested shole. Nope it was a basic motel with all you need. Yes the rooms are small, yes the shower is small. I'm 6 foot 2 175 pounds and fit just fine in the shower so unless you are a fat slob you will be okay. Cold AC, hotel shower, 200 channels, and an alright CLEAN bed. You people are so dramatic. Thank you Motel Robbins for a last minute gem.

I paid $148.oo on Expedia and when we arrived we were put into the oldest rooms in the original part of the hotel. I am not kidding, this section was one step above sleeping on the streets. This place should be torn down ASAP! Expedia needs to send someone to the hotels they recommend before putting them on their site.
There are a few rooms in their main building that they have up graded that are tiny but livable. The old section should be TORN down.
We requested a room in their main building and they told us we would have to pay more. EXPEDIA this is a SCAM! please check it out and do the right thing for your customers. I normally do 3 to 4 star hotels and have a reality of what to expect but this is so ridiculous.

This hotel was NOTHING like the photos. In fact, the room I selected, the staff told me that the room does not even exist. Our room was a step above sleeping outside. Everything was very old. Carpet, bathroom, linens. We were told there are renovated rooms, but none were available. When I showed the staff the photos of what I thought I paid for they said many people had the same issue but the room does not exist. The only things that were excellent were the staff hands down as well as the adjacent Lobster Pound that had outstanding food. It was not cheap, but quite tasty. I would not recommend the hotel to anyone, unless you want basic, like camping. I would recommend the staff and the restaurant next door.

The motel is old and not very well kept up. Rooms are small have not seen updates since the 60’s. The carpet smells and there is no insulation so it’s either very cold or hot.
It is not close to town at all but there is a shuttle across the street that runs into town. However, the staff is so UNHELPFUL that had I not already known about the shuttle, they would not have offered any information.
I paid for my room in advance but when I checked in, she handed me a paper that said I still owed. When I asked about it, she made no comment and only pointed to the paper. I had to ask over and over for clarification and state repeatedly that I had already paid. This staff is horrible! Not helpful, not friendly.
Find someplace closer to town or at least someplace with staff who are competent.

They have done their best to keep each room clean, I would say. But I would want others to be transparent with me as well, so I’ll tell you - it’s worth spending an extra hundred dollars to stay somewhere else if you can afford it. I was able to stay here one night as planned and only sleep. The restaurant next door was awesome and highly recommend it. But as a 45-year-old woman staying alone, I wish they would’ve had a secondary lock for the door, not just a push button and that I could feel comfortable with walking barefoot on the carpet. The property is in rough condition externally, but as I mentioned earlier, they do keep it pretty clean other than needing to replace the carpet and the smell that’s hard to get rid of. It’s kind of like camping but for the price… you’re getting what you get. For the 12 hours I was physically there, it was fine.

The small heater in the room would not turn on and Erin quickly determined what needed to be done. The motel is old, but clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. A good night. Will stay there again. As for as amenities, I don't want anything but a clean room and comfortable bed, and that is what I got.

Honestly its exactly what we needed. As a Maine local, we just wanted a bed and a hot shower without the commute home. If you dont care about amenities or ocean views, stay here. Its clean, quiet and easy access to Acadia parks. Its out dated but who cares. Its clean and cheap. By the looks of things, they are renovating. Good job robbins motel for hitting that price point us trail runners wanted.

Very disappointed with my 2-night stay at this hotel.

Upon arrival, I noticed that the room door was in terrible condition. It was very difficult to open and appeared to have been kicked in or damaged in the past without being properly repaired.

The overall condition of the room and bathroom was also poor. Several tiles were cracked or coming loose, and the bathroom door was difficult to close.

In addition, the Wi-Fi did not work at all during my entire stay, even though it is advertised as an included service. No compensation or adjustment was offered despite this issue.

I was also disappointed that the room did not include a refrigerator or microwave. These amenities would have been very useful during a multi-night stay.

When we arrived, before the reception desk had officially closed, our check-in envelope had already been taped to the reception window, making us feel as though guest service was not a priority.

Considering the condition of the facilities and the services that were not provided as advertised, the room rate was far too high. By the end of my stay, I was counting the days until I could leave.

I would not recommend this hotel

This place was the most horrible place we have ever encountered. The room had not been updated since 1960. I am not kidding and I am not exaggerating when you walked into the room. It smelled like mold. We went to the desk to cancel the reservation and they offered us an updated room, but it would cost us more money. I think that is called bait and switch, which is illegal the pictures of the room on Expedia do not match the actual picture of the room I think Expedia should reconsider offering this site for their customers

Bathroom was clean but dangerous - sink is loose and tub is raised 9-10 inch off floor you need to step up to get in and getting out is very dangerous if you do not hold on to the grab bar and sink/wall tub floor is very slippery. Sheets were clean, towels are clean but very worn.

This hotel would have been greatly outdated in the 1970's - The tile is falling off the floor in the bathroom, sink was hanging off of the wall, you practically need a ladder to get into the bathtub in what was supposed to be an accessible room, and their idea of art was old gift shop photo style placemats attached to the walls, and walls are paper thin so you hear everything. The office was closed most of the time, and no coffee made 1 of the two mornings we were there. There was a large skunk hanging out just outside of our room door for much of our stay, which made coming and going difficult. This was probably the most overpriced motel I have ever stayed in out of the many hundreds of places I have visited. The area it is located in is pretty convenient though to both sides of Acadia NP and to Bar Harbor, and much cheaper, than most other motels that close, but over all frankly I would never stay here again.

It was about $200 cheaper than most hotels on the island for that I was thankful but it was no pleasurable experience. We put towels all over the floor, fortunately brought our own sheets that we used in the hostel in Europe. It just was a very bates motel, experience. The pillows were trash. The shower was trash. The spiderwebs at the base of the bed had us on edge. But we made it through Bar Harbor was beautiful so we stayed out till midnight each night so that we didn’t have to go back to the motel.

Only in an emergency

The room was dry and relatively clean. The floor was slanted, bed was very uncomfortable and the sheet and blanket were tissue thin. There was a huge gap between the door and the jam that let in light, air and noise. There was an old heater on the wall that would not stay on so we froze all night. Very very old from the walls to drapery to furniture. Weird lighting as the light bulbs were yellow. Pricing was stramge as different prices online, on check in paperwork to signage.

All we wanted was a good nights sleep but instead we were kept up most of the night by a loud and noisy next door tenant. We were actually told by management to bang on the wall to quiet them down! Out of desperation we did but to no avail… the noise continued. Management said they were gone home and lived far away so they couldn’t be bothered. Later we found out that they lived across the road. We did ask for a refund that night to go find a place elsewhere but they refused to give one. If you want to party all night this hotel would be ok but if you have a family or just simply want a good nights sleep, go elsewhere. Nevertheless all the other regular people working there were very understanding, kind and considerate.

Ask for a refurbished room. Old rooms need help but they are better than tent camping. Our room was small with an even smaller bathroom, only one person at a time to do anything. The bed was good. The door had a broken part that you could see outside. All in all it was worth the money.

The property is beginning renovations, but is mostly still in need of updating. We stayed where the rooms have yet to be updated since probably 1950. The rooms are cleaned, because you can smell the fabulosa. The windows are so old i felt slightly unsafe, but mostly because there was a man outside pacing back snd forth at all hours, almost the entire trip. He didn't borher us, but his strange presence made it worrisome, snd i do wonder why the hotel allows him to hang around. The staff was polite and reponsive.

Not a place to linger at even a moment when you aren’t asleep.

Looks like the roof is about to cave in I paid 130.00 on Expedia app which was supposed to be cheaper than paying in person. when I arrived the price that they had was 79.00 there was no refrigerator inside the room and everything looked like it was stuck in the 50s.

Nothing is unique about this property except for the fact that the bathrooms are about the size of restroom facilities on airplanes. The property was small and had few, if any, amenities.

Robbins Motel - no frills

The motel was strictly a no frills establishment. Sink hot and cold plumbed in reverse. Toilet had some kind of device attached that often set off an alarm upon flushing. It could be easily silenced, but was most disconcerting. Microwave available in office sufficient as a no frills place. Addition of the smallest available mini fridge in room would make a huge difference in step up from no frills to limited frills. Clean, but could use minor updates and still be basic accommodations. Free parking and outside the hub bub of Bar Harbor town center a plus. Very pleasant staff.

I didn't check when I booked, so it was technically my fault, but the room didn't have a fridge or microwave or a coffee maker for that matter. This is the room I stayed, I don't know if others had it. Also, the room that I stayed it's tiny, the bathroom felt like a airplane bathroom. I had to duck to take a shower since standing up, my head is above the shower head. Another complaint that I had is there's a table to the right of room and you don't have a single electrical outlet on that side, there's only two on the left side which I to share with a so I didn't even bother using my laptop since it's power hungry.

I want my star back. No really, give it back. It is technically a motel. It has a sign that says so, they take your money, they give you a key to a room, meeting that definition. The room is difficult to describe. There is a bed. There is a bathroom. There is carpet on the floor. We brought our own sheets to cover the ones provided and our own pillows, we had zero expectations for quality bed linens as we read the reviews. The light above the “headboard” (a board screwed to the paneling) looked as though it had drawn blood. It did what a bed does, providing some padding and keeping one off the carpet. Speaking of the carpet, bring shower shoes so you don’t have to walk on it. There was a desk in the corner to keep your bags and valuables off of it. The bathroom is really something to admire or abhor. You can use the sink, it probably won’t fall off the wall, it hasn’t yet. The tub is, by motel rule, to be used for showers only. I cannot rate that experience as we did not use the shower, or the water. We used bottled water to brush our teeth. The toilet was a place to sit. The toilet paper was on the back of the toilet as the holder was broken and dangling waiting to cut your leg. The sliding door didn’t work. So you get to keep eye contact with your partner, romantically, as the room is small. Then there is the smell. We have spent the better part of three days trying to describe the smell with words. Start with the blue stuff used in a porta-potty. I am not saying

DO NOT STAY HERE!

Do not stay here!! The photos of this hotel do NOT match the photos on Hotels.com. We pulled up to this motel and thought we were in the wrong place. The property is run down, has a sagging roof and the rooms look terrible. After veiwing the property (no one was in the office so we drove around) and decided NOT to stay there and forfeited our payment it looked so bad. It's cheap for a reason - again the photos look nothing like the property. We called Hotels.com and they said they were unable to refund our payment even thought the property was not as advertised.

Only for sleeping

This place is only good for sleeping and showering… If you get good water pressure that is. we only booked it because it was one of the cheaper hotels around the area of Acadia. The sheets had old blood stains, the towels had bleach stains, the inside of the hotel was from the 70s. The staff was very nice, but they clearly needed help managing two hotels at the same time.

First off the online rate is double the walk in rate. Do not reserve this room online since it will be $99 a night for a Friday night stay. Carpet was dirty, bathroom door was off the track so could not use, knob missing from the AC so no way to control temp. Parking lot is small, hard to turn a truck around. Room smelled of mold also. Very close to the road and at 4:30 am the traffic begins to flow including dump trucks. Will never stay here again.

The road noise was loud. The room was old and funky but it served its purpose. There was no interior lock other than the door knob. The sign out front advertising all rooms $69 which seemed appropriate for the room. We paid much more than that. The location worked out ok, we were close to Acadia NP. There was no coffee maker, hotpot or any way to make morning tea/coffee. In addition, there were no options for food or coffee within walking distance. Overall it was inexpensive for what I could find on line. Not sure if I would stay there again.

Expedia charged 100.00 more then what this hotel charges and then Expedia try’s to gas light me telling me hotels change their rates . This motel plasters their prices on the road it consistently 69 and 99 . Expedia charged 277.00.

First of all the lady who worked the office was extremely nice. The TV and WiFi worked after some assistance from her. The room was clean. However, the place is extremely “run down.” There were holes in the roof, the shower had no pressure and the sink controls were not plumbed correctly. There was a “slope” to the floor which you could immediately tell was unlevel. I realize the place was only $70/night, but it was in such poor shape it should have been a $30/night hotel. No one was at the checkin when you arrived, and you had to call the office manager by phone to announce you had arrived. I guess next time I visit Bar Harbor I’ll just have to bite the bullet and accept the he fact that you have to pay $300/night.

Quality was about as expected for this price. We didn’t need anything special since we were spending long days in Acadia. The place was clean and had daily house keeping. Very out dated and some broken ceiling tiles, but clean. AC worked great. The room fit our need perfectly and didn’t break the bank

Motel is in bad shape - D

Stay away from this dump. The exterior condition is poor: paint falling apart, roof is in shambles. There were people loitering in the parking lot and didn’t look safe. Inside the room there were critters. The room was dated, had a musty odor and was very small - a double/ queen bed barely fit. The bathroom was old and smaller than a cruise ship bathroom.
We booked online based on the description and pre paid over $140 per night for 2 nights. At the property they were offering the rooms for $69 per night. Still no takers. We didn’t check in as the online description did not match the property. However the hotel would not refund our payment. We do not recommend this property. Unfortunately we’ve had similar bad experiences with Hotels.com. They do not stand behind the property listings nor do they verify them. The star rating does not mean anything - I would give this property 0 stars and delist them. I’m not happy with how Hotels.com handled or reservation either.

A terrible experience at this hotel. It was dirty, unsafe, and way overpriced for what it was. The rooms were falling apart, and the whole place felt sketchy. I definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone, especially considering the misleading prices... Online is about twice as much as in-person.
