Top Bar Harbor Hotel Reviews
Edenbrook Motel
"The property sits in a beautiful residential area that backs up to houses making it feel like a bed and breakfast. The room was clean and very cute. Staff was fine. We only interacted with one woman who rolled her eyes and was less than kind when my travel partner told her she had a service animal with her."
Hampton by Hilton Bar Harbor
"The room was clean, and the staff was friendly."
Main Street Motel
"Convient place to stay, walkable to restaurants. They always keep the coffee and snacks stocked throughout the day and night. The staff is friendly and helpful!"
Wonder View Inn - Bar Harbor Collection
"This hotel has many wonderful features! It feels like an old time resort, with a wonderful restaurant that overlooks Bar Harbor. The views from the room were wonderful and the pianist in the bar was a treat! Acadia is right next-door, and you can walk to town. It was awesome!"
Anchorage Motel
"Room was very clean and the staff was super friendly. Perfect location for walking to eat, shop and explore town."
Days Inn Bar Harbor
"Overall, not a bad stay for the budget. I got worried reading other reviews but my bed and bathroom were clean, and the room had a fridge and microwave. There edges of the room and appliances were dusty and the furniture and carpet were need of an update. Basic continental breakfast but most days I left early to go to the park and breakfast only started at 7 AM. I came back by 6:30 PM, so parking was never an issue, but it is a small lot with an overflow lot across the street."
The Inn on Mount Desert
"The Inn is clean and well kept. Itโs about a 10 minute walk to town but all sidewalks leading there. Breakfast cooked fresh each morning when you order by great staff. The rooms are spacious with comfortable beds!"
The Pathmaker Hotel
"Our room was a little close to the lobby and could be loud at times. But otherwise it was a good stay. We enjoyed the complimentary breakfast and were happy to have included parking as the town was super walkable."
Bluenose Inn - Bar Harbor Collection
"Great accommodations. Thanks"
