"We had a great stay at the Bar Harbor Manor when visiting Acadia National Park. A few things we loved about the hotel:
- Excellent location. Walking distance to downtown Bar Harbor restaurants and within a few minutes of the national park. It's in a very walkable area that feels lively.
- Amazing service. The hotel staff were amazing. We asked for advice on dining and activities several times - everyone we spoke with was wonderful. Great advice and a wonderfully positive attitude.
- Free grab and go breakfast - They have coffee, orange juice, blueberry muffins (my son was a huge fan), oatmeal, yogurt, fruit, etc. It's not a hot breakfast and there's no dining area, but it's more than enough to get you going in the morning. There's also ice and a filtered water dispenser (to fill up your water bottles).
- Renovated rooms - Our room was in the newer building, which had an elevator and was recently renovated. We also had a balcony, which was nice. Not a luxurious room, but very comfortable with more than adequate space for 2 guests (we had a king sized bed). Also, the bathroom door was hard to close. I think there are different buildings in various states of renovation.
- Free parking
Note that this hotel has a small reception area with a few chairs, but aside from that there are limited common areas. But you're not going to Acadia National Park to hang out in a hotel lobby, are you?
I'd go back here given the chance!"
