The motel overall is good. The cleaning staff missed a whole day and never replaced the toilet paper, we had to go ask for rolls. This is a very basic room, but it is clean. No bells and whistles at all. It is very convenient to Bar Harbor center and to Acadia National Park. It was way overpriced for what it was.

Uneven room service

They don't tidy up your room each day unless you complain. Otherwise, they only refresh rooms every other day.

There’s nothing fancy about this place, but it’s very clean, quiet and in an excellent location. It was exactly what we needed. Easily walkable to all the cute shops and restaurants in Bar Harbor. There’s a nice communal area in front with comfortable chairs that we enjoyed in the afternoons and evenings.

We have stayed here numerous times over the years. If you want to park and just walk to Bar Harbor and that’s it, this place can serve your needs. If you want a quick drive to Acadia, this place can serve your needs. The staff are lovely and the coffee is the best in Bar Harbor. We love how quiet it is and look forward to the serenity. The beds are comfortable, and there is plenty of room storage. The green in the middle of the property has large chairs and a picnic table. Highly recommended this property.

The staff here was exceptional. The grounds were nice and just a short walk to town and the harbor. Renovated rooms had fresh paint and renovated bathroom, but bathroom had a old wooden dresser, furniture in bed area did not match, chairs were worn. Pillows not comfy. Way overpriced at 413 a night with taxes and fees.

Nice but not great

The hotel was nice, but not great. It was clean for the most part, but there were stains on the carpet and on the furniture. Bathroom was clean, beds were clean and comfortable. Great location. Just needs a bit of updating.

Clean, functional, and a short walk from the center of Bar Harbor. Would have been nice to have had a microwave in the room. Our big complaint was no WiFi, or chronically slow and spotty WiFi, for the full 4 days.

A great location with convenient parking that is just a few blocks from the Main Street with the shops and restaurants. It is also close to Acadia National Park. The lawn chairs were a welcome break in the afternoon to relax and chat or read a book. The only downside is limited receptacles for charging devices. We would definitely stay here again!

Great Bar Harbor location

Motel style with room entry for my exterior door on the upstairs walkway. The room was quite spacious and comfortable. Location was great with easy walking to the downtown Bar Harbor area for restaurants. Plentiful parking. No breakfast provided but they did have 2417 tea and coffee in the lobby and the people working at the front desk were very friendly. Kudos to Susie for her friendly manner first thing in the morning

We were in the separate building and you could hear every creak and groan of the stairs & people talking in the room next to us. I slept with earplugs. Besides that, the staff was incredible, hotel was clean and super convenient to get everywhere we wanted to go.

The motel has a great location and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The room itself was spacious but the bathroom could use some fixing or renovating. The water in the shower was either very hot or cold. I think the price was a bit extreme for the value.
