Top Thunder Hole Hotel Reviews

Cromwell Harbor Motel

Cromwell Harbor Motel

10/10 Excellent

"It is a wonderful place to stay. You can walk to anywhere in Bar Harbor within 20 minutes and parking was $4 an hour everywhere, so it was very nice to be within walking distance to the shore walk and to restaurants and activities. It was about 2 minutes from Acadia. It was very clean and well kept. It was in a very safe area, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend."

Bar Harbor Manor

Bar Harbor Manor

8/10 Good

"The staff was excellent,Rachel at checkin was so helpful. All the front desk staff were quick to offer suggestions. grab n go breakfast was more than adequate. We stayed in the main house -room bit dated, noisy heat unit and bathroom light/fan was annoying. Motion sensors so went on every time you walked in. Also the mattress was lumpy good location but really needs some updates"

Anchorage Motel

Anchorage Motel

10/10 Excellent

"We highly recommend staying at the Anchorage Motel in Bar Harbor! There are several restaurants within a couple of minutes walking and downtown Bar Harbor (including where to grab the Island Explorer shuttle) is right up the street. Staff was friendly and there's fresh water/coffee always available in the check in area. The room was well air conditioned and clean, just a bit too bright in the early morning sun so some blackout curtains would be nice. Parking is free/easy. Overall fantastic deal for staying right in the heart of Bar Harbor and minutes from Acadia National Park!"

Quiet oasis across the street from Acadia and just steps from the harbor

10/10 Excellent

"When reviewing the guests books you can see many families spend season after season here and it’s easy to understand why! You immediately feel at home and peace when you walk in. The location is perfect to hit so many hikes and things to do around Acadia, it was easy to pop in and out as needed throughout the day and not waste a lot of time. Not to mention the place was SPOTLESS! The washer and dryer were also very helpful. It’s the perfect place."
