Great little property located on a quiet street within easy walking distance of all Bar Harbors amenities and can even walk directly into the national park from here. The staff were all exceptional and I would stay here again if coming back to the area.

Room was enormous, clean and very comfortable. All the staff we dealt with were so friendly - explaining the local area and Acadia National Park. The hotel is so close to everything in Bar Harbor so you can leave the car and just walk around. Super close to Acadia - just a 10 minute drive.
Coffee, tea etc. available at the reception, as well as a place to refil water bottles which was appreciated. Would have loved if the rooms had glasses instead of plastic cups though.
Would definitely stay again!
