Loved this great motel! Close to everything in Bar Harbor, plenty of parking around the motel, coffee available every morning, and everything was very clean and well kept. Would definitely stay here again if I came back to Bar Harbor.

It was humid and musty in the rooms. I don’t believe their systems can deal with the outside humidity there. Otherwise nice staff and location. Free water, coffee, snacks in the lobby are a plus

The room was clean and sufficient but not as nice as the pictures showed online. It is what to expect from a motel but a bit pricey.

Our only complaint was that the room felt wet. No fan in the bathroom and even with an AC unit, it felt humid in there all the time. Not sure we would stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Main Street Motel. The grab-and-go snacks and breakfast options were a fantastic addition! It was also really nice to have a refrigerator and microwave in the room. The decor and furnishings were updated and felt very fresh. Thank you for a great experience!

Bed was comfortable & room was clean. Location was perfect with an easy walk to the shore, restaurants, shopping and marginal way. I would have liked some additional washcloths but I was able to get some additional once I asked. Coffee was good and the snacks were a perfect grab and go

The location was perfect. The room was clean, bed was comfortable, and parking was easy. Snacks, water, and coffee in the front office were a nice treat. The only issue was in the bathroom, where the fan made a horrendous screeching noise while it was on.

Loved this little motel right at the end of Main Street! The rooms were as updated as they could be, but you won’t want to be in your room too much with the beautiful town of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park near by. We were able to walk to the scenic streets of downtown from the hotel, and only a few minute drive to Acadia’s entrance. The staff was friendly and helpful and they always had complementary coffee and light snacks. We will be back!
