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.

The Anchorage motel was great for us. It’s a very basic accommodation- but, very walkable with a lot of good restaurants around. The staff were friendly and it was clean.

Do Not Do It

Worst hotel for the price on our entire vacation. Do not recommend. Hotel staff too busy to offer assistance. Called and demanded we call back to confirm our reservations even after paying through hotels.com or they would cancel our stay. Bathroom sorry. Kids running around everywhere. Extremely noisy and dirty hotel.

My initial thought was that a motel was not likely to be a great property. Wrong! The Anchorage Motelmis in a perfect location - 5 minute walk to shuttle service for Acadia National Park and easy access to many great restaurants. We were in the new building and the room had everything we needed including a microwave. Also, two very comfortable chairs, nightstands on both sides of the beds, shower with lots of pressure,etc. Staff was excellent - both Susie and Natalie had excellent suggestions and information.

Nice visit

The location of this hotel was excellent. It is not fancy, but perfect of you are spending all your time outdoors all day. Water filler and coffee in office available all day. Front desk very helpful and conversational. We had two rooms and my husband had aome bugs in his room, otherwise I felt rooms were clean and kept up quite well for an older property. Worth the money spent for location!

This property was clean and in a convenient location to both walk to downtown Bar Harbor and a short drive to Acadia. The only issue I had was that the bathroom window didn’t have a curtain and the privacy film they had applied was coming off, but it wasn’t a big deal. They had a water bottle filling station and coffee available in the lobby and a fridge in the room.

The Anchorage was in a convenient location close to the main street. We had a king room. The bed was very comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was great. Michelle and Susan were helpful. All of the staff we met were terrific. It was a very nice stay.
