Great stay!

Susan Oct 15, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

The hotel was in a great location near shops and restaurants. The staff were very helpful and responsive. The lobby had a ... cozy reception area with a fireplace and warm cider - very welcome after an afternoon spent on a very cold lighthouse tour. The only negative was parking - the first night we had to park several blocks away, despite having a parking pass. It was a very chilly walk back to the hotel.

Robert Sep 6, 2007

Would recommend to a friend!

wonderful location, beautiful HEATED pool, friendly staff, no complaints - you can walk to anyplace in town. Found a great ... deli on Main Street - Since the rooms are so large and this is a resort area where people stay more than one night it would have been nice to have a small refrigerator and microwave. The hotel restaurant looked great but expensive, we found wonderful dining within easy walks, however. We also enjoyed the Lulu Lobster boat tour parked right next to the hotel.

Would recommend to a friend!

This hotel has an excellent location and was very nice for our family of four. Our room had two queen-size beds and plenty ... of extra space. Room had a fantastic view of the harbor. The location was also very convenient. All of Bar Harbor is an easy walk and since parking is at a premium in the town it was really great to park at the hotel and not have to worry about the car. The only time we needed to drive was when we went to Acadia which is close but not really walkable. I would definely recommend this property and we would definitely go back again.

These accomodcations exceeded my expectations by far. The ammenities including a beautiful outdoor pool and heated spa were ... meticulously maintained and overlooked the harbor. We dined at the hotel restaurant for breakfast and dinner and it was delicious. The entire staff was both professional and friendly. Internet access is available in the lobby along with overstufeed furniture placed right in front of a georgous fireplace. When we return to Bar Harbor, we will only stay at the Harborside Hotel and Marina!

This hotel has the amenities of a large city with the proximity for great hiking (from easy to difficult) walking trails, ... biking, dining shopping and/or just plain getting away to relax. The room had plenty of room; good closet space, vanity separate from bathroom shower area to allow two people the opportunity to get ready at once. There was the hair dryer, ironing board, and if you forgot to bring something, it was available upon request.

Nice hotel but......

deb May 28, 2007

Would recommend to a friend!

This hotel is beautiful and in prime location to everything. We checked in for three nights and were pleased. Our room was ... large and sunny. I will say that the room was dirty. Old nasty stains on the nightstand, toothpaste marks on the mirrors, urine on the toilet and I'm not talking about only under the seat. It was dried on everywhere. Many surfaces were dusty. Yuck!! I had left notes for housekeeping on several tables asking for additional trash cans. They left my notes and never gave one up. Maybe they did not understand English? I was able to clean up the mess myself (enough to deal with it). The rest of the dirt and grime was there day after day. On our last morning there as I got ready to shower I discovered that they never refilled our towels! I called the manager, who was really nice and explained my laundry list of complaints. He did nothing for us, only an empty offer of if you ever stay here again, give me a call and I'll make sure that your room is clean. Wow....how nice of him. We would stay there again for the beauty of the location, islands and walking distance to everything and maybe by then Housekeeping will learn their jobs, the messy construction debris on the property will be finished, the dock that was placed in the center of the parking lot (making parking on the property impossible) will be gone and that nice little manager will have our room clean.
