The Claremont Hotel

Seasider Motel
"Clean room, plenty of towels, free granola bars/drinks. Small breakfast but so tasty(fruit, muffins, danishes, cereal). Staff was helpful and even printed something off for me. Would stay there again! Easy walking distance from the heart of Bar Harbor."

Hanscom's Motel and Cottages
"We had to use a door lock code to enter the room. We were given the code by calling the number on a sign. We loved the outdoor fire pit and grills. The motel was very simple but had everything we needed. There was a back area where we could walk the dogs. The room was clean and the area quiet."
