The hotel felt very much like Maine. The hotel was clean and the staff were helpful. The location was perfect for walking to shops and restaurants.
We were there during a snowstorm and the staff was very considerate and brushed off all the cars in the parking lot. Very thoughtful staff.

Breakfast was simple but adequate and met our needs.
Lovely coastal town free of chain restaurants!! All the shops and restaurants seemed locally owned and unique to the area. We enjoyed lots of seafood like fresh lobster, clam chowder and lobster bisque. Be sure to walk the coastal path and take a harbor cruise! We loved flying Cape Air from Boston to Bar Harbor to see the coast and islands--just be sure to pick up your luggage in Boston and bring it to the Cape Air terminal! Restaurants we liked-- Geddy's, Ben & Bills Chocolate Emporium for ice cream/gelato/fudge, Stewman's, Bar Harbor Lobster Pound --they had outdoor games, too! Of course, don't miss Acadia National Park and Abel's Lobster right by the yacht yard--great outdoor ambiance!!

We enjoyed sunrises at Cadillac Mountain, crossing the bar at low tide, hiking the Beehive, the Bubbles, and Acadia Mountain, and walking on a small portion of the carriage roads.
Bar Harbor had great food, but it was tough to get into the restaurants. Our favorite was the Side Street Cafe.
We went in late October. Pros - lower crowds. Con - water activities and some restaurants were already closed for the season.

I can't wait to go back!
I can't wait to go back! Bar Harbor is a beautiful town that's extremely close to Acadia National Park. It's the perfect place to return to after a long hike. The locals are friendly and the food is delicious. The views are phenomenal.

We loved Gaylns restaurant, excellent food.
We loved Gaylns restaurant, excellent food. Whole belly clams were terrific at the Thirsty Whale. You can walk just about every where. The Sightseeing & Nature Cruise with Acadian Nature Cruises was worth taking.

absolutely gorgeous.
absolutely gorgeous. Loved the distance from the hotel to Acadia Nt'l Park, as well as, to the center of Bar Harbor. Love all the shops & exploring the different restaurants in town. We've been 1x before & the weather was perfect for getting great views @ the top of the mountains in Acadia. This time, we weren't so lucky - very foggy daily. But it was still just as beautiful. Highly recommend. the outdoor pool & hot tub are fantastic here after a long day of biking/hiking. The view of the ocean with the docked ships is quite beautiful. If you're lucky like we were, you may see Bald Eagles, deer or other wild life. :)

We had a different perception of what Bar Harbor was going...
We had a different perception of what Bar Harbor was going to be like. We also met a few people downtown at a restaurant's outdoor fireplace that had the same opinion.
We thought it was going to be a quaint town on the coast. It was very touristy with an abundance of t'shirt and souvenirs shops.
Our visit took place first week in October, lots of people. We found parking downtown, you just need some patience. The Chart House has a great happy hour on the pier out back, great cocktails $10 (not well, premium labels) and fresh oysters ($2ea)
Our recommendation would be to stay at a smaller town on the coast with access to Acadia National Park. The park has 40+ miles of bike trails, called carriage trails, and the drive up Cadillac Mountain is worth making a reservation on-line. Views from the top are beautiful
Motel style accommodation just two or three minutes drive from Bar Harbor downtown. A little shabby and not very spacious but generally clean and calm place. We were lucky to get a room here at very high Fall season when only other available option was quite far away in Bangor. We had the view to the threes but no complain about it. Having other options available, we would rather pay a little more for regular hotel or one of the options in Bar Harbor's downtown. We have enjoyed our three days stay in Acadia NP anyway.
While this is a budget stay, we thought it was wonderful. Beautiful views of downtown Bar Harbor and within walking distance. Quick drive to Acadia National Park. Free coffee, delicious breakfast with a view, firepits, and great ambiance with the evening piano and drinks in The Great Room. They even had a heated pool but we didn’t get a chance to use it this trip. Also very pet friendly! My dog loved exploring the property.
The location in downtown Bar Harbor on Main St where all the action is. The bed was king sized and comfortable. I didn't use the shower for 2 days since it was dated not fancy but practable. The office provided great coffee..strong and tasty. The staff was friendly.
Lovely hotel! The staff were wonderful and very helpful, and the building is beautiful. Our room was bright, clean, and cozy. It was nice to be on a quiet street, and you can easily get to downtown Bar Harbor - including the waterfront - in about a ten-minute walk.
I have been in bar harbor several times now and this is one of the hotels with the best view if you get a well positioned 4th floor room. The view at sunrise is amazing so if you go there to enjoy the sunrise is one of the best place you can get!
This is a hidden gem! Off the road so quiet and a true ocean view. It was foggy for our first 36 hours, not unusual for Maine. It is an older Hotel but bed was very comfortable, all supplies were at hand, and very clean, and quiet.
We drove from Boston and arrived very later. The staff called to check with us. All hotel staff are very nice and friendly.
The hotel is at very convenient location and close to park and 10 mins walking to Bar Harbor downtown,
Great location.Breakfast was very good.The front desk staff were super nice and the waitresses were excellent!
It was great to have the service of a free shuttle bus to downtown as it saved on paying $4.00 an hour for parking!
Room was great, wish it had a microwave. Comfortable bed and excellent shower. Front desk staff and maids were friendly and helpful. The location was great, short drive to visitor center and into bar harbor.
Located a short hop from downtown Bar Harbor. Just a 15 min walk to Bar Harbor, or otherwise accessible via the Eden Street line of the Island Express Bus, which has a stop at the nearby Acadia Inn.
Great hotel I would stay there again close to downtown Bar Harbor The rooms were updated and king bed was very comfortable Continental breakfast was awesome and attendant was fantastic
The desk staff was super helpful, the room was incredibly clean and the location couldn't be beat for walking downtown and getting to Acadia. I definitely recommend staying here.
The breakfast was just OK. The inn is a little far from downtown Bar harbor. You have to drive to go to downtown to get food. There are no restaurants or shops around.
The location was the main attraction that allowed us to walk to the downtown area and not worry about parking. I liked that we had plenty of hot water available.
One of the best breakfast of my entire trip in Maine, the Inn was amazing, great comfort, great staff and perfect cleaning! I would love to return here.
