Top Downtown Bar Harbor Hotel Reviews

Acadia Ocean View Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and felt disinfected. Beautiful view."

Colonial Inn Ellsworth

10/10 Excellent

"I highly recommend this hotel as an anchor stay for exploring the Bar Harbor area (Mount Desert Island) and the north-eastern coast of Maine. Compare with the hotels in Bar Harbor, tourists in the Ellsworth area are not locked into the expensive and busy shops in the small town. Though Colonial Inn is not the scale as those hotel chains, its management is highly efficient. The rooms are generally larger and cleaner. Utilities and furniture inside are in good conditions. Last but not least, I spent way less than those hotels of the same level in Bar Harbor area."

Acadia Hotel - Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very cute and comfortable. The location was spot on. Walking distance to shops, places to eat and the Sand Bar you can walk across. The only concern was the parking. If you have a big truck it was very difficult to park in their lot at the hotel. I loved the walk into town for meals. The hotel did have breakfast and an omelet station which was great. The bed was extremely comfortable."

The Pathmaker Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is beautiful and well maintained. Front desk staff and waitress were very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Breakfast was delicious and above expectations. Also appreciated the free coffee and cookies in the lobby. Hotel location was great, walkable to restaurants and shops yet away from the congestion. Parking garage was a little tricky with tight spaces but it worked."

Holiday Inn Resort Bar Harbor - Acadia Natl Park by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"10/10 – Wonderful Stay! Highly Recommend! We visited during peak fall season, and despite the hotel being completely booked, we were pleasantly surprised by how peaceful and quiet it was! Our room was exceptionally clean and cozy, and we slept better here than at any hotel we’ve stayed at recently. The on-site restaurant was excellent! I highly recommend the breakfast buffet or enjoying a quiet dinner. With temperatures in the mid-60s to low 70s, we even enjoyed the pool and hot tub! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the hotel also offers convenient on-site washers and dryers and a clean fitness room. My favorite part was the location! Easy access to Acadia National Park and downtown Bar Harbor without being right in the middle of all the noise and crowds."
