Ready to go back!

Would absolutely stay here again and recommend the property. So clean and an excellent lobby stocked with fresh locally sourced coffee (going to be dreaming of the blueberry roast for the rest of my life), water bottles, fresh organic fruit, and flavored water. The staff was so kind and happy to suggest things to do in the area. Very close to everything in downtown area and felt extremely safe.

Main Street Motel was a great place to stay in Bar Harbor. It was close enough to town to walk to all the restaurants and shops but far enough away to get out of all the traffic. Spent a little more than what we wanted to but thee free water/ice, fresh coffee and trail snacks made mornings easier. The front office staff was helpful and kind. Bed was comfy and room/bathroom were clean. Great water pressure too. Would stay here again.

Perfect location in the most perfect place!

Our little getaway to MDI was made perfect by the Main Street Motel. Parking at the lot there and walking right across the street to Chocolatte to start the morning and walk into town to spend the day was just perfect. Fantastic location for the price and only a short drive into Acadia NP. The front office offered perfect hiking snacks that you can take with you before you head out on the trails. Massive PLUS! We loved our stay there, and would love love love to be back again!
