We only had a single night stay at the Grand, but it was grand. We arrived late and the front desk staff was tied up with other visitors, but we were given undivided attention and courteous service when our turn came around.
Our rooms were spacious and two bedrooms shared a large bathroom. The rooms were clean and well appointed with period furniture. When I looked at the bed, I said no way is that comfortable. However complete with feather pillows, which I demand, the bed was comfortable and I had a great nights sleep as did our traveling companions.
Continental breakfast was solid and a bus load of folks was in the dining room at the same time, but there was plenty of room.
The hotel had plenty of parking and a covered portico to protect when raining, which it did.
Downtown is with perhaps a long walking distance with many shops and scads of restaurants of many different cuisines. The hotel had two three-ring notebooks filled with menus, a plus when choosing dinner locations.
Priced just right and one of the better choices in Bar Harbor.
