I stayed at the Acadian House in November, I believe it is non- smoking. If you are on the first floor, even with a "parking lot view", you truly don't see the parking lot. There is lush landscaping and a white picket fence between you and the parking lot. I stayed in room #8019. It was close to the bus stop, close to the bridge to Ol' Man Island, which in turn was just a short walk to the Main building and boatwright's. If you don't want to pay for a water view, maybe you could ask if you could be in a courtyard view room. Nice view of the fountain.
