The best things about this hotel were the ocean view room, and the location. Most of the attractions such as the Whale Watch co., nature cruises, sailboat trips, sea kayaking, lobster pounds, and other restaurants and shops are all within easy walking distance. Acadia National Park is also within a 10 min drive. The room was up to par and... more

Lovely spot - terrific view in room with fireplace jetted bath and terrace, affordable - best feature is spa. Needed spa weekend - Cynthia Parady recommended one treatment a day, facial, hot stone massage, wrap, mani/pedi - most fabulous hot stone ever, 80 min worth the extra - good fitness center and nature path along harbor - left feeling renewed. more

Bar Harbor Inn is located on what is probably the best spot in Bar Harbor. It is right off the main strip but a world apart. The grounds are beautifully done and the Terrace is a lovely place for dinner. The rooms unfortunatly are mid range 3 star. A simple upgrading to newer bedding and a little redecorating and this... more

We recently paid $200+ a night to stay at the Bar Harbor Inn. We knew these were the "low-end" rooms and didn't expect to the room to be fancy, be in the main part of the hotel or to have an ocean view. However, it was a little disappointing upon our arrival to see that we were essentially staying in... more

bar harbor inn is the perfect stay when visiting acadia national park and mt desert island/bar harbor. it is essential that you have the waterfront rooms though. it provides beauty , tranquility and a certain zenlike experience. the inn has a deluxe continental breakfast which you can enjoy while sitting on the lawn overlooking the picturesque frenchmens bay. the accomodations... more

Our stay at Bar Harbor this year was at the Bar Harbor Inn. While expensive it is certainly worth the money for a seaview room. I can't comment on the non-view rooms. The room itself was two levels. The bathroom was on the first level along with a fridge. The upstairs had the bedroom and the view (with a balcony).... more

We just returned from a 5 night stay at the Bar Harbor Inn and I'm ready to go back. The hotel had the nicest employees, from front desk to housekeeping. A big shout out to Frank and Art behind the bar! Valet parking, extra cot one night, more pillows, bedding or just tourist questions, no problem. We stayed in the... more

r 3rd stay here. Not what it used 2 b. The service is not up 2 par, but we attributed that 2 the unavailability of foeign workers allowed ito the states these days. Way to go "W". In additon, when paying $400+ nightly 4 a room, it's absurd that they charge for Wi Fi. more

The Good: The Bar Harbor Inn is in a spectacular location with beautiful views of the harbor. The restaurant is quaint and food was very good. The "Not So Good": Well lets just start by saying my husband and I had just returned from a five hour hike up one of the many beautiful mountains in Acadia Park to check-in... more

Management response from
BHI, Innkeeper

It is wonderful that this guest found that our property has a spectacular location with beautiful views. Our prime location on the water with 1,000 feet of ocean frontage in the heart of Bar Harbor provides our guests with wonderful views and yet a short walk to downtown. Our sincere desire is that our guests have a pleasant and memorable...
