"Hotel was clean and quaint and seemed recently renovated. We arrived very late in the evening, so there was no desk staff available, but they left us our hotel key in an envelope on the front desk with detailed hotel information. Parking in the underneath garage is limited, but they had an open overflow parking lot directly across the street. We only stayed for a night, but it was cozy, clean and overall a nice stay. Would stay here again."

"Very nice hotel. Front desk so helpful. Gave a list of area restaurants with highlighted favorites. Easy walk to many restaurants and activities. Short drive or bike to Acadia National Park. Rooms a bit dated but very clean."

"The staff was helpful in every way and went above and beyond what we expected. The breakfasts were wonderful and filling and the variety of food was amazing. They provided walking sticks for the hikers and umbrellas as well. We don't have a single complaint and would love to go back there if we ever visit bar harbor again. Also, the location was great because it was within walking distance of just everything we needed and some things we didn't."
