Thank you for hosting, Helen!
I stayed a total of four nights. The place was very clean and quiet (my room was towards the back), though the motel was full. I did not rent a car, there were two shuttle pick-up spots within walking distance. In the evening, shuttle drivers would drop me off right by the property when I gave them advanced notice. Very conveniently located. Helen (the owner) is very nice and shared interesting story and useful trip information of the area. I enjoyed my stay there.

The Sunnyside Motel is an excellent place to stay while visiting Acadia National Park or Bar Harbor! We liked the cottage / vintage “motel” type lodging! It was cute and in a peaceful environment, and it was nice & clean! The king size bed was big and comfortable! The owners are very friendly and helpful! I would recommend this place while in Maine! Thank you!
