Top College of the Atlantic Natural History Museum Hotel Reviews

Anchorage Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The room smelled really fresh and had a sweet vibe. I loved the window in the bathroom, it made it feel homey. The location was great, we were able to walk everywhere."

Days Inn Bar Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic stay as I was upgraded to a resort!!!"

Highbrook Motel

8/10 Good

"The property is not in downtown Bar Harbor, instead just a 2-3 minute drive away. The free island bus stops right across the street. Great for access to Bar Harbor but not part of the throngs of people. It is a 3-4 minute drive to the Visitor Center and the Park Loop of Acadia National Park. Very quiet and very clean. Keypad locks on every room door. Designated parking spot right in front of your room. Dehumidifier in the room. Free water, coffee, sodas, popcorn, and chocolate chip cookies in the center building. Free breakfast delivered to your room every morning from 7:30 to 8:30am. The only issue is the floor of our room was uneven and sloped down to the bathroom. Minor, but worth mentioning. Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel."

Holiday Inn Resort Bar Harbor - Acadia Natl Park by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful area and pathway"

Bar Harbor Manor

8/10 Good

"Room was simple, but spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable. The shower had rather low pressure unfortunately. The coffee machine was very basic but did the job. The coffee, water, and snacks in the lobby were very nice to have. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful for navigating the town and dinner reservations (shout-out to Christopher). The only downside was the price. For what it was, I think the price was very high, but was happy with the experience overall."
