Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers large, spacious, and comfortable rooms with lovely Atlantic views, situated near the water and beach areas. The service is helpful and kind, with excellent breakfast options. The location is fabulous, close to both downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, despite the ongoing road construction. The dining experience exceeds expectations with a wide variety of options.
The hotel offered a great family-friendly experience, with clean and neat rooms perfect for our stay with a one-year-old grandchild and the parents. The service was very helpful for last-minute arrangements, although slow with dish clearing at times. The location was further from downtown than expected but still accessible with a free shuttle service. The dining experience was enjoyable overall, but we opted to eat in town after the first couple of days.
I had a great stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and very nice, offering everything we needed including a big shower in a really nice bathroom. The service was excellent, right down to the head of housekeeping, who was very pleasant. The location was perfect, just outside busy Bar Harbor, allowing me to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The dining experience had plenty of choices, especially under the circumstances. Overall, a wonderful stay with a few minor downsides.
