Breakfast was fantastic. Laundry machine broken (coin laundry). Staff lackluster (aside from great breakfast staff). Old building, dark carpet, loud AC unit.

Beautiful, comfortable, convenient Bar Harbor stay

From the front desk staff to the room to the location of the property, everything was wonderful. Breakfast each day was very tasty and fresh made. Staff were quite friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the area. Our room was comfortable and quiet even being right next to the elevator. The property overall was lovely and we walked everywhere in Bar Harbor. Only had to get our car to drive to Acadia NP. We also loved the amenities of the hotel - especially the laundry!

Connor and Cody were amazing! So kind and helpful. You are lucky to have them. Breakfast served daily was top notch and the location was a walk to town and a short bike or drive to Acadia. The hotel thought of everything from laundry pods and machines to fresh cookies in the afternoon when you arrive home from your activities. We used the sitting areas both inside and out to have drinks, read and have pizza. Very well done! We will stay here again.
