    A little pricey for a no amenities motel.

    Great location while staying in Bar Harbor! Definitely would recommend this hotel!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Great location, helpful staff!!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    If you just want a basic hotel to sleep in and be gone the rest of the day this is the place for you! It is definitely older with some rot in the bathroom walls and you can hear everything. The staff were nice, it was clean, and the location was ideal but it is the most basic low end hotel I’ve stayed in. Lower your expectations and it’s perfect.

    Perfect for a quick stay two blocks from Bar Harbor main street. Park your car in their parking lot and walk anywhere in town during your stay. I loved that the staff is there 24x7. They were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and ready. Beds were a good quality. I would definitely stay again. Not too expensive. Nice grass area with chairs for sitting around outside.

    The bad and ugly: It is run down and nasty. This motel charges over $350.00 a night. Paneling on the walls is stripped off in places. The bathroom is tiny and has no ventilation. The privacy frosting on the bathroom window is mostly scrapped off, and there was no other window covering. The window did not lock. The bath surround was coming apart, bulging away from the wall. I put on a pair of clean, white socks, and it took only one trip across the carpet to be mud brown. After a few trips around the room, I didn't even want to keep the filthy socks on. The amenities are sparse. No microwave, no ironing board. The maintenance issues are not expensive to correct. An ironing board and microwave are not expensive additions. Not looking for luxury, but bare minimum, decent accommodations. At $350.00 + a night, this can be easily managed. This is nothing but taking advantage of the tourism pull, charging high rates, and providing run down conditions. Checking out, I walked in to the office; said, "We are checking out. I was "greeted" with a brusque "Put the key there, thank you." Not a; how was your stay, (likely afraid to ask) please come again, have a nice day. It wasn't busy. Just chatting. Awful.

    Very clean. Short walk to the waterfront, restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay again.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Good location for walking around in town

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Great stay!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    I was worried about staying at a motel because I’ve only stayed at hotels, but this one was great! It was very clean and walking distance into downtown. Everything worked well and it was quiet at nice.

    Horrible bed! Metal platform bed with a sponge mattress. Very utilitarian furniture and a cheap dirty looking rug. Not the quality I’d expect from a $400+ a night room. Advertised as quiet, but at check in clerk said we were lucky to be on 2nd floor bc it would be quieter. We booked, looked 3 hours later, left, and are still fighting to get charges removed. Terrible experience.

    Close to downtown One bed was “broken “ I would say. The foot was higher than the head of the bed. The bathroom was tiny and the toilet was rickety. It kept moving. and worst of all the carpet was so dirty walking across it two or three times my feet were filthy. I did report that to management on checkout.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Perfect location to explore Bar Harbor! Room was updated, clean, and comfortable. Property felt safe and quiet, easy and free parking. Would definitely return!

    Location Everything was fine

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Location is perfect. Walk to the beach in 5 minutes, so many restaurants to choose, and lots of entertainments. Close to Explore shuttle bus stops to Acadia national park. Grocery store walkable. No need to drive if you don't want to.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Rooms were small but clean.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The location can’t be beat. It was within walking distance from downtown, the restaurants and the waterfront. It was also easy to get to Acadia. The room was clean, shower had great pressure and the AC was fully functional. I would recommend and may come back!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The room was clean, air conditioned and the beds were comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. The coffee was better that expected for hotel lobby coffee. It was a bit pricy for a motel.
