I had a fantastic stay here with stunning views from Cadillac Mountain and a great biking experience on Park carriage roads. The hotel was peaceful, and the staff was polite and helpful, making it my favorite place along the Maine coast. However, I had some issues with the bathroom in my room that didn't meet my expectations, which was a bit disappointing.

My stay at the Fort Knox Inn was truly delightful. The views of the bay were simply stunning, especially with the serene sight of the sailboat in the morning. The room was clean and cozy, making it a perfect retreat after a day of exploring the area. The only downside was that housekeeping did not service our room on the second day, so we had to request towels. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely return.

The hotel offers a breathtaking view of the Kennebec River and the impressive Narrows Bridge, making it a perfect spot for families or anyone looking to relax. The rooms, while clean and comfortable, can feel a bit tight, especially with more than two guests. The service was top-notch, with helpful staff providing local recommendations. However, I did experience an issue with housekeeping on the second day, which was a slight inconvenience.
