Really enjoyed our 3 night stay. Great location. Great staff. Eliza at the front desk, in particular. For an older building itās not perfect but rating it excellent anyway because it was very enjoyable.
Great location.
Eliza was the nicest person we met on the staff. She went out of her way to be friendly and helpful; otherwise, the staff were not welcoming or friendly.
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!
The location was excellent and a short walk to downtown/waterfront. The room was functional but very small. Breakfast choices were good and made to order. Homemade cookies in the afternoon were a plus.
Hotel very clean. Rooms had everything you would need. Comfortable beds. Decor in main lobby and living room was older. Could stand some updating.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff were nice. Air conditioning didnāt work and there was no reading on thermostat. They couldnāt 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 weād 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!
Our room was great. The staff was extremely helpful. Location was within walking distance to the touristy part of town. Best hotel breakfast ever and the sweets in the lobby were delicious!
Great hotel amongst so many inns to chose from! Really nice breakfast made to order. Fresh chocolate chip cookies in the lobby. Nice big room and bathroom. Great location, easy to walk to everything
This inn was so charming. The room was decorated in a nautical theme. I loved the hot made to order breakfast every morning with fresh fruit and the cute patio to sit on. It was also a great location - very easy to walk downtown.
Nice location close to downtown. Facility was very nice and up to date. Clean room with very nice breakfast included. I would definitely stay here again.
