Our room was Very well situated away from the highway and facing the woods which made it quieter than most. It was clean and light, the bed grand, for an emperor…

8/10 Very good

Clean recently refurbished room. Friendly staff in handy location to Camden and Rockport. Took off one star as no coffee machine or kettle in the room, although coffee in the lobby from 7am.
Chui, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Would stay again. Only complaints are the “vanity” wood door covering the mini frig was so tight I could not open it. They need to put blackout shades in the rooms. The outside security lights are very bright. The other option would be to provide sleep masks ! Otherwise very comfortable and staff were helpful.
Felise, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Large room and plenty of parking

Nice parking area- feel safe-easy check in. I suggest a 2nd floor or you’ll hear the people about you walking around. When we arrived to the room it smelled a lot (to me) like fresh paint. I’m a migrain suffer and this affects me. Should be aired out more in my opinion.
Brenda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Parking by the room, clean room, comfortable beds, and modern amenities. We enjoyed all aspects but a couple things could make the experience better. First off, the curtains are too small for the window and there is a light that is on almost all night outside the room. So the room does not get dark. Second you do hear everything. I feel that a few washable area rugs in each room could help deaden the sound of other guests. The noise could also be helped by room darkening and sound deadening curtains. The road traffic is another thing to consider if you are a light sleeper - I forgot my ear plugs this time but will definitely remember them next time. Overall though a great stay and was perfect for us.
Christy, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

We were looking for a place to stay only a week before our trip and found many of our regular places to stay booked and stayed at the Harkness Brook Inn. What I found was a completely remodeled hotel as it had changed hands from Schooner Bay Motor Inn and reopened only a few weeks before my arrival, even the Expedia description currently indicates “Schooner Bay Motor Inn” in some places. The good parts of our visit was the helpfulness of the staff and their desire to make our experience a good visit. The place was very clean as the “Clean Team” kept the place tidy and all fixtures/appliances worked well with the remodel. The king sized bed was very comfortable with very little motion transfer to disturb a sleeping partner. The bathroom was very spacious including the shower. They even included USB charging portals on each side of the bed. Some neutral parts of our visit were the curtains covering the windows were a bit skimpy to keep light out which the outside of the hotel is nicely lit at night. A nice pull down shade between the sheer and darker curtains would be helpful. We also found the lack of amenities/niceties at this hotel for the price. This was the most expensive hotel during our trip, yet was a Plain Jane place offering a clean place to sleep only, with little around, no pool, no breakfast, etc. The bad part of our visit had to do with the original construction of the hotel not having sound proofing. We unfortunately had upstairs neighbors that were in part
