Bar Harbor Manor
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it. The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, and the balcony was a great bonus, it made the stay feel even more relaxing. The location was extremely convenient, just a short walk into town where there are plenty of restaurants ...

The rooms were clean and as described! Walkable into town, but also only a 10/15 min drive to Acadia national park, great location! Would definitely come back.
