Loud dripping noise that proved to be a detached gutter that water was dripping on. Also, the toilet kept running off and on all the time. Also, you were supposed to have coffee 24 hours, we came in at 415 and no coffee. No rest and no coffee is not what I paid for.
Friendly staff and clean, beautiful place with ocean view. Breakfast was excellent. Parking was easy. Would book it again when we return to Bar Harbour.
It was a lovely weekend. Some of the staff were exemplary. Some of them seemed a little disinterested. Rooms were fine, but some peeling paint. Beds were comfy. We were on the first floor of the ocean front room and could hear substantial noise from children running down the stairs you were stunning and scenery. During meals in the rainbow room was exceptional. Food was good, but not as exceptional as I had expected. Would stay here again just have different expectations.
Lovely, historically reminiscent, excellent staff, comfortable, convenient walking distance to restaurants, shopping, bars, beautiful surroundings, close drive to Acadia National Park and more. Can’t wait to stay again.
Lovely off season stay, enjoyed being there before the season picked up in activity. Some downtown shops were closed but ones open were friendly & helpful.
Bar Harbor was an amazing and relaxing stay for my partner and I. We went during off season so it was very quiet and peaceful which is what we needed.
The staff are exceptional and very friendly. The room had amazing views and we are so glad we stayed here during our stay
