Top Bar Harbor Hotel Reviews

Acadia Ocean View Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was peaceful…attractive clean cozy room…helpful, super friendly staff..set off from the busy center of town, so it was nice to escape crowds after a busy day of walking, hiking, touring!"

The Inn on Mount Desert

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, friendly staff and well maintained."

Holiday Inn Resort Bar Harbor - Acadia Natl Park by IHG

8/10 Good

"I have stayed on several occasions, the resort has sum what lost it’s charm. Lots of dog waste throughout the walkways. What we paid in the past was well worth it, not so much this time around. Sadly we probably will stay somewhere else next time while in Bar Harbor. The one positive note, the staff assigned to the Proctor building were fabulous."

Cromwell Harbor Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was clean and well maintained. We liked that they did not come into our room every day, but gave us a sheet to use to ask for materials (like new towels, tissues, etc.). These requests were promptly filled. We also really enjoyed that the motel was within walking distance of the town center, but far enough away that it was quiet without swarms of people around outside. The pool was also very clean and well maintained."

Seasider Motel

8/10 Good

"The Seasider was a lovely place to stay. It was conveniently located to downtown. Both the bedroom and bathroom was a decent size for three people to love around. I would recommend staying at this motel."

Days Inn Bar Harbor

8/10 Good

"We liked the fact that the inn was relatively close to downtown Bar Harbor. We could hop on the free shuttle that picks up guests from a series of hotels and inns. It runs every 20 to 25 minutes and ends up by the Bar Harbor Green. Trying to park in Bar Harbor is way too challenging and expensive. The inn is close to a very busy street, which can be noisy. Breakfast is OK. A wider variety of fruit would be appreciated. Not sure why kiwis were offered. You can’t peel them or cut them with a plastic knife. The big new shower was a plus. The door to the room needs work. It can only be closed by slamming it, which is way too noisy."

Atlantic Eyrie Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The room was quite large with a balcony with an awesome view and it was super clean and quiet. We were on the 4th floor. There is an elevator, but we often took the stairs because it was faster. The staff was super helpful and the breakfast was good. They also have a water bottle filling station in the main lobby that I didn't find until we were checking out. The shuttle down into the village was easy and quick (every 15 min during peak times) and was so much better than pay $6/hr to park... if you can find a space. I would definitely stay here again."

Bluenose Inn - Bar Harbor Collection

8/10 Good

"The hotel is wonderfully located and the view is incredible Although dated, the rooms are spacious and clean Good coffee and other amenities The WiFi was not good and no solution was offered Other than that, I recommend the hotel as an authentic op bar harbor experience"

Wonder View Inn - Bar Harbor Collection

8/10 Good

"The beds were comfortable and the 3 large window opened to a gorgeous view, and a small balcony. However the windows (I think just in our room) did not have drapes (although there was hardware in place) instead it had cheap plastic mini blinds which did not keep out any light. The shower had no water pressure and the tiny mini fridge froze our things. We enjoyed the pool/hot tub/sauna at the adjacent Bluenose Inn as well as the nightly pianist. We ate breakfast daily at the Looking Glass while enjoying the incredible view...have I mentioned the view, it was amazing."
