    The location is amazing. The hotel is right across from the Village Green and gives you instant access to the heart of Bar Harbor.

    Front desk staff not very welcoming. Seemed like we were putting her out when we asked questions. Coffee was offered all day but it was never made or available. This didn’t dull our getaway! Some people just aren’t friendly

    Great location. Walking distance to downtown and shops, restaurants etc.

    While I found parking each of the two evenings I stayed, it was tight and limited. During peak season it is likely a bigger challenge.

    This hotel is easy to find and located in the heart of the village. My room was in the older building, and while on the small side it was perfect for me. Everything was very clean and well maintained. My bed was very comfortable and while I was there it was quiet and restful. I used the outdoor hot tubs and they were also clean and heated to a good temperature. The staff was very helpful, but not very engaging.

    My only minor complaint is that the shower and sink in the bathroom were backing up and the toilet was hard to flush (handle hard to push down and it make a loud "clunk" sound when you did). But these are things that can be fixed.

    The property is beautiful, staff very friendly, location is perfect (walking distance to everything downtown). Shanay was especially friendly :)

    There was some ambient light coming in around the window, and a bit of traffic noise from the street. Our room was at the front of the building.

    The location is absolutely perfect...close to downtown Bar Harbor shops and restaurants and pubs. Breakfast was terrific, especially the omelets! The room was spacious, comfortable, and clean, and we slept well. I really appreciated the use of the bikes to cruise around town while my wife was shopping. I loved this place!

    We booked a queen room with no idea it would be on second floor with no elevator! One building has an elevator and one does not! Luckily the lady at front desk who checked us in carried our bags up the steps! Very generous of her! Very kind person! I would say make sure you’re either on first floor or the building with the elevator if steps can be an issue for you.

    Location, location! It’s great right across the street from park and close to water and downtown area! Free Breakfast was delicious!

    The location was perfect. We could walk everywhere to shops, restaurants and tours. The bed was comfortable and very clean. Breakfast was satisfying and Annie, makes a great omelette, so don't forget to try it! The entire staff was helpful with ideas and the town layout, since we had never travelled to Bar Harbor before.
