Top Southwest Harbor Hotel Reviews

Stone Park

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and nice place"

Terramor Outdoor Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The glamping tents were well appointed and the packaged meals to grill were priced well and of the appropriate proportions."

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."

Seasider Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient, rooms nice but thought expensive however might just be location. 5 min drive to entrance of Acadia Walkable to downtown."

Bluenose Inn - Bar Harbor Collection

8/10 Good

"The room and other facilities were very nice. The person at the front desk was not helpful in any respect. I didn't realize the hotel was as far from the town as it is. I asked for information regarding the shuttle to town and got no help at all. We ended up taking taxis."

Acadia Ocean View Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room and bathroom was very clean. The view was amazing from our little deck and also from the community areas. There are nice community gathering areas. The parking was free and close to rooms. The air conditioning worked well and beds were comfortable. The included breakfast options were adequate and convenient to get you moving. Location is excellent for Acadia and Bar Harbor. The only negative: there’s no air flow in the bathroom unless you leave the bathroom door open or open the small high window. This works well to let out the humidity once you’ve showered (weather can affect effectiveness). The window is facing front and next to the door but is high enough a casual observer can’t see in. Definitely not a deal breaker given great views and excellent location to Acadia and Bar Harbor."

Wonder View Inn - Bar Harbor Collection

8/10 Good

"It was a clean and comfortable room with no frills."

Colonial Inn Ellsworth

10/10 Excellent

"Exceeded our expectations based on other reviews. Room was clean, staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and the location was central to everything we needed on our trip. Would 100% stay again."
