We loved how close the hotel was to town, breakfast was delicious. We loved the fresh cookies, muffins, and coffee that were available throughout the day. We spent hours playing on the bocce ball court in the charming garden when we needed some down time, also enjoyed several of the board games when we needed a little break from the heat. The room was clean, and we appreciated having a fridge, microwave, and paper towels. Lastly we loved Connor, he was so sweet and personable. My 11 and 13 year old boys loved chatting with him about basketball etc. He really made our trip extra special.

It was cozy and close to Main Street. I like that you can order your breakfast and it's made for you. The only thing I didn't appreciate was when we requested for the room to be cleaned in our 4 nights of stay, the garbage weren''t all taken out and the sheets were not done. Overall, the staff were amicable & the whole place is homey. The cookies in the afternoon is a plus. My kids even played corn hole in the front lawn while I watched on a rocking chair in the front porch.

The breakfast was fresh options , cooked upon order and delivered with a smile Walking distance to every thing downtown Cooper - front desk young man was excellent- friendly- personal and went out of his way to make everyone feel “at home “ We stayed 5 days and he was excellent every day with offering tourism places based on what we were interested in - very helpful advice every day .

Honestly nothing - it was a home feel and staff were all polite and friendly

Friendly staff, excellent location, charming place. They exceeded my expectations. One of the women making breakfast changed a recipe for that day to avoid any cross contamination due to my severe food allergy. That's never happened in any hotel or Inn I've stayed at. I didn't even know she had done that it just happened to have come up in conversation. When we decided to extend our stay the front desk staff were very friendly and accommodating. The fresh cookies or pastries in the lobby were a bonus. Next time I'm in the area I'll stay here. I highly recommend it.

Not a huge deal, but it would be nice if room service could make the beds too when they freshen up the room.

Location was great! A good location for all things Acadia! Could walk downtown and explore the area. Drove to parks because Acadia is huge, but the hotel was in a nice central, safe area. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent but a little crowded on the weekend (waited for a place to sit and eat). This was off season so I can only imagine how crowded it gets during prime time/summer hours. Perhaps people can spill out on patio and that makes it more spacious. Front desk staff were very accommodating and friendly, taking the time to tell us about the area and things to do off-season. Rooms were comfortable and a little loud at night (could hear other guests up late) but felt safe. Would definitely stay again!

Some guests nearby were a little loud at night. Might not matter if you sleep soundly. Overall stay was comfortable and room was clean and warm so did not negatively impact our stay.

Breakfast was excellent, two hot meals to choose from. The local coffee was very good. It had a very homey feel. The staff was very friendly, nice, and helpful. The location was within walking distance of the main location. The cookies they served in the afternoon were delicious.

We tried to do laundry, the washer stopped mid-way through the cycle. The clothes were so damp we had to go to a local laundromat to save time. They refunded us the coins.

Perfect location. Amazing breakfast each day. Afternoon treats, which my sister looked forward to everyday. It was a wonderful surprise each day. Enjoyed the fitness room and billard table. Our room was perfect And quiet. The beds were super comfy. Easy walking distance to downtown and activities. Loved the rocking chairs on the porch. Staff was very friendly and accommodating to anything we needed and always greeted us with a smile and hello.

Nothing.

This modern inn replaced an older hotel on the same site that had been owned by the same family for many years. It is within easy walking distance to the main shopping and dining streets of Bar Harbor, and of the town docks. A full breakfast was included, with hot food prepared to order, and served in a nice breakfast room. Our room had two king beds and was spacious and clean. There is a billiard room with some fitness equipment, and a nice outside garden {although it was raining during our stay and not used by us}. Bar Harbor is normally crowded with tourists through much of the year, but during our early April visit few people were around. Several good restaurants were open, however.

We enjoyed our visit, but portions of Acadia National Park were closed due to heavy storm damage during the winter, with many trees still down and a number of roads closed {including that to Cadillac Mountain}. Thunder Hole and some of the scenic beach areas were open for visitation. There were gale warnings in place when we visited, so we did not do a boat tour along the coast as planned, as seas were too rough.

Room: immaculate with large comfy chairs, timed heater in the bathrooms, good mattresses, extra blankets,plenty of towels Staff: exceptionally helpful and good natured. They tried to please in all things. Elizabeth helped plan my trip to the Park, marking favorite places on a map. Breakfast: a hot meal is made to order, while the usual buffet is out for self serve. Pretty outdoor or indoor seating. All in the coastal Maine style. Darling furnishings throughout Location: excellent! Near the harbor, only two or three minutes from the Park.

The lobby fireplace wasn’t burning

Amazing stay. At checkin we learned that we were upgraded to a deluxe room on the fourth floor. The room was great. Quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was superb, including 2 choices each day. My wife had the best frittata she has ever had (with spinach, tomatoes) while I had great blueberry pancakes; we both had oatmeal the second day, and she had the scrambled eggs with cheese while I had french toast the third day. A great way to start the day. We also enjoyed the afternoon snacks after our days of hiking in the nearby Acadia National Park.Location was amazing, We loved walking downtown (and not having to pay to park). My wife and I have been married for 42 years. We have stayed at 20 different places in Bar Harbor from campgrounds to B&B's. She said. that this is the best place I have ever taken her.
