Great service. Pool was in another building and didn't have change rooms so it was not useful when it was cold outside. ... Elevator had some issues at times. The view from our room was wonderful.

Fantastic hotel with a view

Wine Lover Aug 15, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

Even though it was August, we had to try out the gas fireplace. It did not light properly and we immediately notified the ... hotel. The manager came to see our concern, and after realizing that he could not fix it, we were upgraded to a beautiful room on a higher floor with an amazing view of the harbor. Bar Harbor has great restaurants, many water excursions, and free shuttle service to all points on the island. We did not have time to enjoy the pools or spa. The restaurant is casual with a well balanced menu, and it sits higher than the hotel so again the view of the bay while you eat is enjoyable. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the hotel to anyone wanting a little bit of luxury at a beautiful resort.

The hotel was spotless and beautiful. It does have a spa which we did not take advantage of. There is both an indoor and an ... outdoor pool-an advantage given the unpredictable weather on the coast of Northern Maine. Views from the balconies and the restaurant are breathtaking. The hotel is located a short distance from downtown-very walkable or you can drive. The hotel is also located on the free shuttle loop.

ROGER Sep 11, 2007

Would recommend to a friend!

PERHAPS THIS IS AN ACCEPTABLE MAINE MARTINI BUT, FOR US, THE VOLUME WAS SMALL AND THE PRICE HIGH. WE HAVE NEVER PAID ... $10.OOO PER MARTINI...ANYWHERE! THE ROSE GARDEN IS CUTE AND THE SERVICE IS GOOD,; BUT THE PRICE QUITE HIGH FOR THE FOOD INVOLVED. I WOULD NOT CHOOSE TO REVISIT THIS RESTAURANT IF I WERE TO STAY THERE FOR A FEW DAYS. THE SMALLER RIEINHART RESTARUANT IS A BETTER VALUE. THE ROOMS ARE QUITE NICE AND THE VIEW MUST BE TERRIFIC. WE WERE THERE FOR TWO RAINY DAYS AND NEVER SAW THE BAY ALL IN ALL...GREAT POTENTIAL, AT A LOWEER PRICE.
