The Inn on Mount Desert

The Inn on Mount Desert

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay was great! The Inn is located just ~10 minute walk to downtown Bar Harbor, very convenient to restaurants and shops. The staff was great - especially Paul, Pauline and Roz. They made delicious breakfast every morning, and were quick to refill the coffee urn. The King room was roomy and the bed very comfortable. There are some signs of wear throughout the Inn - perhaps a fresh coat of paint would freshen it up a bit. There is ample parking behind the Inn. Would definitely return for future visits."
