Top Thunder Hole Hotel Reviews

The Pathmaker Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location is excellent. Walking distance to everything. The complementary coffee and the cookies were really good after a day of site seeing"

Bluenose Inn - Bar Harbor Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious rooms, 24 hour front desk. Would be nice if there were more food options for lunch/dinner on site."

Seasider Motel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed 2 nights and the Seasider is charming! Ed and Christine were amazing to work with and extremely informational."

Bar Harbor Manor

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience at the property"

Main Street Motel

8/10 Good

"The location was perfect. Very walkable and easy to get in and out of town in a car. The free snacks a drinks were awesome. The staff was very friendly. My main complaint would be the stairs. They were steep and hard to navigate with luggage. Also, a coffeemaker in the room would be nice. It was cold and rainy which made the walk to the office for coffee a little hard."

The Inn on Mount Desert

10/10 Excellent

"This is a really quaint inn just a short walk to the heart of Main Street and the village green where all the shopping and restaurants are located. The room was well maintained and the bed was very comfortable. The only issue was the bathroom shower curtain which didn’t stay in place. The lobby area is very cozy with sofas and reading material. Breakfast was personalized. They have two items per day and the food is prepared to order. They also have a variety of baked items that they set out for guests. Overall, great inn, very friendly service and awesome location! I’d definitely stay here again!"

Newly Updated Island Cottage - Walk to the Beach & Acadia National Park

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable and great location for Acadia Park! Loved our stay"

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

10/10 Excellent

"The host was quick to get back to me with any questions or concerns. I enjoyed the PDF format for information rather than looking through the profile for answers. Hope to be back."

Strawberry Hill A Deluxe Retreat, Close to Village 1.5 mi to Acadia

8/10 Good

"I am really torn leaving a review for this property. The property itself is beautiful, if you want Fall foliage, it was gorgeous. Location was great. Super quiet, saw deer in the back yard. Great kitchen and appropriate cooking utensils, etc. Loved having the option of a hot tub. Awesome game room, enjoyed using the pool table. Would have loved to have played darts as they have 2 dart boards, however, there were zero darts available. There are 3 full baths and 2 half baths but only one working hairdryer. There was a great fireplace, as advertised downstairs, however, there was a sign telling us not to use it. The most disappointing of all of this was that I texted the appropriate number about the darts, hairdryer and the fireplace hoping that there might be spares somewhere and at least an explanation re: the fireplace but 3 days later I have not received one response other than check out instructions. I’m glad nothing serious was wrong because we would have been on our own."
