Exceptionally clean, sterile

Positives: All the rooms are spotless, and the location is only a short walk from all the cafes and restaurants in Bar Harbor. Negatives: breakfast room tables and chairs are very wobbly and cheap. Breakfast food is mediocre: small (Maine) blueberries, dry scones, edible cakes, cereal, fruit mix, hard boiled eggs dyed easter style (why do they dye them?), and sliced cheese. I would have preferred something heartier, e.g. a tray of bacon and scrambled eggs, or waffles, or pancakes. Only one type of juice (orange) is offered. Cream is provided, but would have liked to see skim/2% etc milk. Coffee is average. However, coffee/tea cup and saucer collection is quite nice (each one is unique!). Cleaning staff has bad habit of leaving all windows in room open after cleaning, no matter how cold it is outside. If the windows were closed by the guest, keep them closed! Overall: this place is not a B&B, but rather a super-clean hotel. There's too many guests for the usual B&B intimacy, and the staff consists of hired professionals, not the owner of the place, and don't have enough quirks or personality.
