Kimball Terrace Inn Northeast Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and nice clean room."

Bluenose Inn - Bar Harbor Collection

10/10 Excellent

"First off, the location could not be better - depending on the building you're in and the floor you're on, the views of Bar Harbor are nothing short of breathtaking. Then, it's just a mile walk to nearly any point in the town, on a shared-use path or sidewalk; and the hotel is just a two-mile drive up to the Hulls Cove Acadia Visitor Center. The staff is friendly, helpful, and thorough - they came through with a band-aid one day (post-hiking) and a pair of pliers another day (removing a nail from my car tire). There is significant value for the money; our room was spacious, the amenities plentiful, and the bed quite comfortable. The coffee and water stations on the lobby level were an added touch, as was the well-stocked gift shop. Not being "breakfast people", we did not avail ourselves of the Mizzentop restaurant, which to some small part I wish was open for dinner, but as I noted, the town with its abundant restaurants is just so close, and the weather was perfect for walking. All in all, if and when we return to the area, I hope to stay at Bluenose again!"

Stone Park

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent place to stay in Maine and lovely!"

Island View Hotel Bar Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"It's all about location. Get a room with a view of the water. It's beautiful!"
