Bar Harbor Manor
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it. The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, and the balcony was a great bonus, it made the stay feel even more relaxing. The location was extremely convenient, just a short walk into town where there are plenty of restaurants ...
