I had a comfortable stay overall, enjoying the roomy third-floor accommodations in the Proctor Building. The location was fantastic, just minutes from Acadia National Park, but the service could be a bit more welcoming. The dining experience was great, but the restaurant area felt crowded during breakfast. There were a few cleanliness issues that could be addressed, especially in the rooms.

Rooms

The room was comfortable and fairly clean, but I noticed a need for more attention in the nooks and crannies. It had hardwood floors throughout and a full kitchen with new appliances, which I appreciated.

My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The location is fantastic, being close to downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, which I loved. The rooms, although they had a beautiful view, were pretty dated and not very comfortable due to temperature issues. The service could definitely use some improvement, as some staff were not very polite. Overall, it’s a great spot for exploring but not ideal for comfort.

Rooms

The rooms had a beautiful view of the pool and harbor, but they were old-fashioned and either too hot or too cold since there was no wall thermostat.

I had a decent stay at the hotel, which is located in a beautiful area with great potential. My room was fine, but I faced a few challenges, like the lack of an elevator in the Proctor Wing. Service was friendly but could use some improvement. The dining experience was a highlight for me with delicious options, though the price for breakfast could be better. Overall, it’s a mixed bag but still an okay value for the cost.

I stayed in the Proctor Wing, and while my room was comfortable, I found it a bit inconvenient because there was no elevator. Accessing ice and vending on the third floor was a little challenging.

The hotel is in a spot that has gorgeous views and a lovely pool area, but the towels felt a bit worn out. It’s nice and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle, making it perfect for relaxation.

The dining options were surprisingly good! I really enjoyed the selection, especially the fresh salmon. The breakfast was a bit pricey at $16, but everything was delicious and elegantly presented.

The pool area was nice and inviting, though I noticed it could use better maintenance. It's spacious and should be a great place to enjoy during warmer weather.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the bright side, the location is perfect for visiting Acadia National Park, and the suite I stayed in was incredibly spacious and comfortable. However, there were some drawbacks, like the unpleasant smell in some areas and a few service hiccups that left me feeling a bit let down. Overall, it offered decent value for money, but it could use some improvements.

I recently stayed at this hotel and while it had some great aspects like a clean and recently updated room, there were also some downsides. The service was quite disappointing, particularly from one staff member, and the dining experience left a lot to be desired. However, the location was perfect, giving access to both the ocean view and Bar Harbor's nightlife. Overall, it was an okay stay but I believe they have room for improvement.

The location was fantastic, overlooking the ocean and very close to a free shuttle that took us to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. It was the best of both worlds for outdoor activities and nightlife.

Dining

Dining was a disaster both days. Even though there was a good selection at breakfast, the seating situation was poor with uncleaned tables and long queues.

Facilities

The fitness center left a lot to be desired — it only had a few crusty climbers and no weights or mats.
