David was so friendly during our check in. He went above and beyond helping with restaurants and had an extra blanket brought up to our room. The view from our room was amazing. Not some fancy high end resort, just a great place to stay that was quiet and comfortable and convenient.

Nice, quiet hotel that met our needs for visiting Acadia NP which was about 15 minutes away. Reasonably priced and across from the very best lobster pound around. Dining choices otherwise pretty limited nearby. Found a good breakfast place about a mile away. Nice view on one side. Would definitely recommend this place.

The name of the hotel suggests it's located in Bar Harbor, whike in reality it's located in Trenton, 30 minute drive away from Bar Harbor, and Acadia park.
