Disliked: Staff & service
-Room was not ready at the 3:00 PM check-in time. Staff was still cleaning an entire floor and did not coordinate with each other so they sent me to a room that was 25% ready -Staff hardly ever worked the front desk. They were not there before 3:00 PM, so you have to call in order to get someone and no one was there to check us out at 11:00 AM either. -Parking lot is not monitored. People who were not guests used the limited parking and you sometimes had to go elsewhere -Room amenities were very average. Shower was tiny. -Staff had the feel of not being welcoming/knowing what they were doing -2.3/5, will not be staying here again

Beautiful, comfortable, convenient Bar Harbor stay

From the front desk staff to the room to the location of the property, everything was wonderful. Breakfast each day was very tasty and fresh made. Staff were quite friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the area. Our room was comfortable and quiet even being right next to the elevator. The property overall was lovely and we walked everywhere in Bar Harbor. Only had to get our car to drive to Acadia NP. We also loved the amenities of the hotel - especially the laundry!
