Inn has an old school early 90’s decoration vibe to it. The staff while nice enough were all low energy and awkward…. Maybe it was me, but for what I paid for a week I expect a little more gusto. The nightly piano player was a nice treat. Rooms are large with a nice view. Easy to get down to Bar Harbor via the island explorer bus.

I loved that the property is enough away from Bar Harbor's Downtown to be quiet and serene, but close enough to walk to so that we didn't have to find parking when we wanted to shop or dine. I highly recommend a room with a balcony on the 2nd or 3rd floor so that you can see the water over the treeline of Atlantic University. The wifi is not very good, so hopefully they will upgrade that in the future. I was frustrating to navigate that every time we stepped foot back on property. The staff was kind and knowledgeable about the area. They have complimentary bicycles for daytime usage, and indoor and outdoor pool, and a dry sauna. Not fancy, just a clean, safe place to stay when you're enjoying Acadia National Park--there is a bus stop on property as well, so that is a huge plus.

The property was in a good area, close enough to walk to do activities or food, easy transportation on Island Explorer. Very clean and friendly staff. It would be nice to have better food options at the property as Looking Glass is only open until 2. Other than that we enjoyed our time.

Decent but not really in town; internet issues

The hotel is clean and well maintained, and we had a decent stay overall. But it was not as close to the Bar Harbor village as I had expected, more on the outskirts of town outside of walking distance. And unfortunately, though the hotel had Wi-Fi, we had poor phone and wireless internet there. We struggled to get it to work during our stay, which meant that planning hikes in the park and other excursions required us to wait until we left our accommodations. I frankly would stay elsewhere if I come back to Acadia/Bar Harbor, which I likely will.
