Bar Harbor, Maine Hotel Rooms at the Independent

My husband and I had been planning this getaway for over a year . We did a New England tour and Bar Harbor was at the top of the must see list of places to go. The whole experience was amazing. I wouldn't change a thing about it including the Blue Nose Inn. Great rooms, great views, very friendly staff and close to everything. We ate at the Looking Glass Restaurant twice and what a beautiful view of the area right from your table. The food was very good and offered healthy and delicious alternatives. We spent an evening in the lounge enjoying the piano master, Mr. Bill Trowell. Thanks Bill, your the best! We plan on making another trip in the next couple of years and plan on staying here again. Awesome!

Really enjoyed the hotel and restaurant. It was conveniently centrally located on the island. There is also a bakery below the hotel.

Very nice room with everything we could want. Nice view of the water and not too far from the town center with helpful staff.

I was plesantly surprised at our find! It isn't too far from Bar Harbor (but you will have to drive!) and it provided a wonderful view and quiet place to stay. Weddings/Receptions do occur so you may even be an uninvited spectator to the fun! (However, if you like silence when going to bed, ask about the schedule).

room was very clean with new bathroom fixtures ,spectacular views of the bay, staff helpful, pool very clean, hotel was quiet, grounds well kept with deer grazing on lawn at night - probably the most relaxing part of our stay in Maine - less than 5 min from from town with places to eat right next door with great breakfast and ice cream

Our stay at Bar Harbor Manor was fabulous! We enjoyed it so much that we booked for a second night. The hotel is centrally located in downtown Bar Harbor, within walking distance to Bar Island, countless restaurants, Bar Harbor Whale Watch and downtown shopping. The rooms we stayed in (one in the hotel and one in the inn) were spotless, furnished with modern furniture. The beds were comfortable. There is nothing that we would suggest they change to better accommodate their guests. The front desk staff went out of their way to guide us in things to do in the area. Despite the fact that Acadia National Park was "closed" due to the government shut-down, the hotel staff encouraged us to park and walk into the park. We followed their advice and had the time of our lives!!
