The Wonder View is in a good location, walkable to Bar Harbor attractions. plus it is a stop on one of the free shuttles that travel the area from the village. This hotel is just a few minutes drive from Acadia National Park. The rooms are a bit dated, very small bathroom but we did have a nice and peaceful view from our deck, back a ways from the busy road.

The room was spacious, well lit, convenient parking, very large tv. Older hotel that was managed by a nearby hotel. Awkward to drive to. Felt it was over priced.

Bar Harbor is expensive, so The Wonder View is a good value compared to nearby options. Bed was really comfortable and enjoyed the hot tub at Bluenose. Would have loved to have a vanity counter instead of just the tiny bathroom sink. Also great TV, but odd placement.

Traveling with family, we enjoyed the large room and excellent views of the harbor. Wonder View is pet-friendly, however, and we had the bad luck of having a very barky dog above us. The property is a little worn down and aged, but clean and comfortable. The free bus that runs all over the area picks up right in the parking lot, very convenient, as parking in Bar Harbor is crazy. Also, a short, easy walk to town if you prefer.
