An extremely great stay at this property! We were on the top floor and the room was spacious and bed was incredibly comfortable. The location of the hotel is about ten minutes from the center of Bar Harbor's shops & restaurants. Less than 10 minutes from the entrance of Acadia (Park Loop & Cadillac Mountain entrance) which was extremely convenient for us and our morning hikes! The breakfast every morning was amazing as well they offer two options and it is cooked to order. Plenty of on site parking too so we could come & go as we please. If we ever go back to Bar Harbor, we will only stay here!

Staff were nice. Air conditioning didnā€™t work and there was no reading on thermostat. They couldnā€™t fix late on Labor Day weekend and offered to change rooms, which we did. Food just okay and dining/living room just ok. Not warm and inviting. Game room nice and we did use laundry facilities. Housekeeping team were helpful. The location is great, but weā€™d want to stay somewhere just a tad nicer if we return.

What an amazing stay we had! Within walking distance to downtown, so we didn't have to mess with parking when we wanted to go downtown! Amazing amenities from a home-cooked breakfast every morning, to freshly baked sweets in the afternoon and a coffee bar 24 hrs a day. All the employees were so kind and helpful! We loved every bit of our time there!
