Enjoyed the location as it was easily walkable to downtown, and near the island explorer bus line that would take us to other parts of the island. Also enjoyed 24/7 front desk and coffee service.

I had a wonderful stay at the Anchorage Motel in Bar Harbor. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The location is convenient, the room was clean and comfortable, and the hospitality really stood out. I’d be happy to stay here again on my next visit.
