10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed staying at this Howard Johnson Hotel. It has a good location and appeared to be relatively new. Besides the comfortable beds, the best thing about the room was that there were 2 sinks - one with the toilet and tub and one outside the bathroom. Great for 2 people getting ready for the day at the same time. The breakfast selection was somewhat limited - primarily cold foods."

10/10 Excellent
"We spend one night returning from a trip to Acadia. We didn't know what staying next to a restaurant would be like but it was awesome. The rooms were great, very clean and the staff was helpful during check in and check out. We had already eaten dinner so we didn't get an opportunity to try the restaurant but the bar area was great! We really enjoyed our stay and would stay there again!"
