The entire experience in Bar Harbor was wonderful. I highly recommend this property and love that they have dedicated parking, a rarity in most places. Make sure you come back early because they can be a little limited. Highly recommend a stay here if staying in bar harbor. Everything was walkable and Acadia national park was an easy 15 min drive away. Also a shoutout to Matt at front desk because of his immense professionalism and attentiveness and great attitude. I would definitely stay here again. Beautiful property and well maintained.

We got a great room with a king bed and a single bed for my daughter. The room was big and really comfortable. The bathroom wasn’t fancy, but the shower worked great. The restaurant had nice décor, the location was perfect (right in front of a market), and the staff were super friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay!

Great hotel within walking distance to town. It's a bit of a self service hotel which isn't so bad. Always able to reach someone even if no one is at front desk. Afternoon cookies and all day coffee and tea are really nice!
