Top Bar Harbor Hotel Reviews

The Inn on Mount Desert

10/10 Excellent

"Beautifully clean and well-appointed inn with welcoming staff and generous breakfast."

Acadia Hotel - Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Room was great. The manager Nick is fabulous, very informative about the area and things to do especially at Arcadia. The hotel was in a perfect place. Food was great at the restaurants near by. Can walk to them with great selections especially cause i have a gluten allergy . Overall a great place to stay. "

Atlantic Oceanside Hotel & Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"Greeted by happy Jamaican staffs who made sure our stay was comfortable. Kids loved the free stuffed beavers. Room was clean and stocked well with linens and blankets. Balcony with ocean view was the best! Wanted a quiet cold vacation from Florida and it was a good trip. S’mores by the firepit at nights. Heated pool and jacuzzi. Loved walking the property and the beach area. Ate snapper at the restaurant which was good, but no Lobster! (Fix that, it’s Bar Harbor after all)."

Bar Harbor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in mid-November, after much of the town has closed up for the season. The front desk provided us with a list of restuarants that were still open, which was helpful. The Oasis lounge was still open and where we ate our first night, everything was delicious. We were upgraded to an ocean view room and enjoyed watching the snow flurries blow in over the water. Beautiful property with great views! We really enjoyed the quiet!"
