"The room was clean and decorated nicely. The complementary breakfast was delicious. The apartment was walking distance to downtown. Parking was good. It is located over a laundromat. We had no problems with that, but it is worth noting."

"Great location, within walking distance to all the restaurants in the downtown waterfront area. Fantastic breakfast included from the restaurant below which was a really nice perk. Enjoyed exploring Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Perfect place for a family of 4."

"This was our second stay, lovely as usual. Beds are extremely worn though and bedding was kind of not very clean feeling...maybe just too outdated. Sad to see the house lost in a fire, but they added a lovely outdoor area with fire pit, grills, and hot tub."

Holiday Inn Resort Bar Harbor - Acadia Natl Park by IHG
10/10 Excellent
"The views were amazing. We walked along the gravel path around the grounds. It was so pretty. We saw seals in the harbor. The room was comfortable, with a great walk-in shower."
"The property has a gorgeous view to sit and see the ocean. The location was convenient to everything we were visiting in the area. It was nice to have housekeeping services. I thought maybe the room would be a bit bigger but we weren’t there much so it wasn’t that big of a deal."
"Overall happy with our stay. Registration process on site was easy; room was very comfortable with a lovely view of Frenchmans Bay from the small balcony (partial view from inside). We didn't take advantage of some amenities shared with the adjacent Bluenose Inn since so much to see and do in the area, but nice that it was available. Very timely and friendly response to issue with in-room coffee maker. Would have been more comfortable had there been a bathroom fan to exhaust the shower steam/moisture. The clerk at checkout seemed impositioned to have to address issue with the room heat we had experienced our last night as well as recurrent coffee maker issue: unfortunate as the remainder of our five night stay was very enjoyable."
"We thoroughly enjoyed our glamping experience, though there were several areas for improvement. On the positive side, the tent was incredibly spacious and comfortably accommodated our entire family. We particularly appreciated having an en-suite bathroom that was larger than many hotel bathrooms we encountered on our trip. The property itself is beautiful, and we enjoyed the lodge, the pool, the jacuzzi, and the overall scenery and ambiance.
However, there were a few drawbacks. The shower in our tent felt somewhat grimy, and the staff across the property seemed burnt out and largely unhelpful. We also experienced issues with our dining at the lodge, where our food was initially served cold, necessitating a remake.
We were disappointed to find that the pool closes for children at 8:00 p.m.—a policy that was not disclosed in any of our booking documentation—and it was enforced by staff who seemed uncomfortable with the requirement. Additionally, the firewood provided for our private fire pit was too moist to light, and we were not provided with kindling. Finally, our tent (A-3) faced the busy highway leading to Acadia National Park; the traffic noise was very noticeable, even with earplugs, starting around 7:00 a.m. While we didn't have a bad stay, these issues kept the experience from being as great as it could have been."
