Holiday Inn Resort Bar Harbor - Acadia Natl Park by IHG
Nice clean room with a waterfront view, comfortable bed and quiet setting. We only had breakfast while there. I had the Lobster Benedict both days. Delicious. Service was slow. Servers seemed disinterested in refilling coffee, checking on tables etc. otherwise overall a great place to stay.

Spacious, adorable little cottage a 9 minute drive from Bar Harbor. A quiet area that was great for evening strolls. The fire pits & BBQs were a great addition.
