Top Bar Harbor Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Resort Bar Harbor - Acadia Natl Park by IHG

Holiday Inn Resort Bar Harbor - Acadia Natl Park by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"It was fantastic! Staff was especially helpful. Bar Harbor has a shuttle service that is very convenient and runs continually. It saves a lot on parking. Our room was exceptionally clean, the views were beautiful. There was wildlife. We saw bald eagles and seals playing in the water. It was such a fun property. Great value for the price. Definitely a favorite!"

Bar Harbor Manor

8/10 Good

"Room was simple, but spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable. The shower had rather low pressure unfortunately. The coffee machine was very basic but did the job. The coffee, water, and snacks in the lobby were very nice to have. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful for navigating the town and dinner reservations (shout-out to Christopher). The only downside was the price. For what it was, I think the price was very high, but was happy with the experience overall."

"Beautiful location. Large well appointed room. Loved the double sinks in the bathroom and separate toilet/shower area. Did hear noise from the room above, but fortunately it was time for us to wake up in the morning anyway. Could hear people walking across the ceiling. We enjoyed the seating area in addition to the beds. Also, the piano bar area is lovely, but we really wished there were more food options. It had been pouring rain, and we would have loved to just stay in and eat dinner there, instead of having to drive to town and searching for parking."

Seasider Motel

Seasider Motel

10/10 Excellent

"This is the basic motel that is the perfect base for exploring Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Why? - free parking - excellent location that is only an eight minutes stroll from the center of Bar Harbor. - you were located nearly at the entrance of Acadia National Park. - there is free bottled water and coffee served all day and night - the rooms are basic, but have hard surface flooring that is very clean (no dirty carpeting)… A comfortable bed… and a very clean bathroom with great shower pressure. While the other hotels are fancier in the area… This was perfect for the price In the evening, I recommend taking the four- minute drive over to the Blue Nose Inn for an old-school opulent bar that has piano music nearly every evening"

Hampton by Hilton Bar Harbor

"Nice, clean hotel in a very beautiful location off the beaten path. A bit pricey for this level of hotel but the entire area is expensive. Breakfast was simple but complete with excellent coffee and pastries along with eggs, etc. When we first arrived, the room we were assigned had a wet carpet from a leak in the bathroom. The manager immediately came to the room, assessed the issue and relocated us with a discount. Professional and courteous. We would recommend"
