Rooms are clean and spacious. Breakfast and accommodations were outstanding. Service was exceptional! When our tour group had bus trouble their staff went WAY above and beyond to help 45 stranded travelers feel comfortable while we waited for the bus to get repaired. Exceptional management and staff!!!
Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're delighted you enjoyed the clean, spacious accommodations and breakfast. Most importantly, we're proud our team went above and beyond to care for your group during an unexpected situation.
Location was good but hotel could use updating and breakfast was subpar.
Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for recognizing our convenient location. We regret that the condition of the hotel and breakfast experience fell short of expectations. We appreciate your feedback and will share it with our team as we identify opportunities for improvement.
The room was always clean. We got to have new towels every other day because that's what we chose. If you wanted your room cleaned every day you could have. Nice space accessible beautiful gardens driving in close to everything including Bar Harbor. Debbie at breakfast was absolutely lovely and the complementary breakfast is a must! We would definitely return.
Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're delighted you enjoyed the clean accommodations, beautiful grounds, convenient location, and great value. We especially appreciate your kind recognition of Debbie and are pleased breakfast was a highlight of your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back!
A great choice for visiting Acadia! Best Western offers accomodation, amenities, services and a local dinner spot just nearby! Meeting Walter at the Best Western reception was a highlight of our stay, an extra welcoming touch!
Thank you for taking the time to post this awesome review. Walter is a gem and we appreciate your mentioning his name! We look forward to seeing you again soon! Warm regards, Acadia Jane, General Manager
Good budget style lodgings near Bar Harbor. Room basic but had all we needed. Pool area was lovely and kept our daughter amused for hours. Good base for exploring Acadia. We walked out to the nearby lobster pound and bbq restaurant which were both good. Breakfast was ok but appreciated nonetheless. Coffee, tea and cookies in the lobby was a nice touch and they lent me extra shampoo and conditioner.
Dear LexiBath, Thank you for your review. We are happy we supplied all that you needed and your daughter had a lot of fun in our pool! We are happy to have some very nice restaurants nearby and that you enjoyed those as well. Please stay again! Acadia Jane, General Manager
The BW Acadia Park Inn was exactly what we were looking for. We needed a place on short notice and found this hotel. The check in process with Walter went very smoothly and then he and the staff made the three days we stayed here relaxed and enjoyable.
We thank you very much for this review and your choosing the Best Western when there are so many choices in the Bar Harbor area. I am very happy that you found Walter to be great at the check-in process and you enjoyed the entire staff. We look forward to seeing you again when you visit the area. Best wishes, Acadia Jane, General Manager
We booked a cabin which was about the size of a closet so we had to find something ASAP because we just could not stay there. We saw a vacancy at the best western and Walter at the front desk found us a room and made some excellent recommendations for us about dining out and activities in the area. We found him friendly and knowledgeable, and our room was spotless and comfortable. The breakfast was decent with eggs, breads, etc. We can recommend this place!
Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted Walter was able to assist with a comfortable room and helpful local recommendations when your plans unexpectedly changed. It's also great to hear you found the room spotless and enjoyed the breakfast. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back!
Great job of handling our group of 35! Highly recommend 👍🏼
We are absolutley delighted that your group enjoyed their stay with us. We certainly enjoyed serving them! Please stay again! Warm regards, Acadia Jane, General Manager
Lovely time in Bar Harbor. Charming fisherman John Alley recommended a great place to eat. Will be back soon.
Dear Guest, Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted you had a great experience and enjoyed our friendly team. It's great to hear you had such a memorable time exploring Bar Harbor, and we truly appreciate your kind words. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
Great location, very close to the entrance of Acadia National Park, clean, comfortable rooms, dog friendly- with a great area to walk the dogs, and a pool. Nice breakfast area too! The one thing that would make it better is a hot tub to relax after some long hikes!
Our location is in a serene area not far from the hustle andd bustle of downtown. We are happy you enjoyed your stay with us and we hope to see you again on your next visit. Thank you for the feedback on a possible hut tub. Warm regards, Acadia Jane, General Manager
The hotel is located no more than ten minutes from both Downtown Bar Harbor, (amazing shopping/dining area!) and Acadia National Park. They have king and double-queen rooms. Beds are DIVINE! Each bed has a variety of pillows to match up with a variety of pillow preferences. Extra blankets upon request. Bedding was clean. They will only come make the bed, clean up the bathroom, change sheets once every three days, and it must be requested the evening before, prior to 8pm. Room was very large! Had a desk, a chest of drawers, closet, fluffy chair and ottoman and the beds, and there was still plenty of room to move around. Bathroom was squeaky clean and large. Room coffee maker had mold in it, (gag) which was discovered when it was deposited into my cup along with the hot water. Serves breakfast until 9:30am. Eggs are made from powder, and I found a piece of the package in my scrambled eggs, so that was it for the eggs for me. They made sausages, make your own waffles, hard boiled eggs, and other normal breakfast fare: yogurt from a machine, pastry, dry cereal, fruit and oatmeal packets, along with coffee and tea. Has a very clean pool, maybe 25-30' long and 3'-6.5' deep. Easy to get in and out of. Has an air conditioned laundry room, (with no bathroom) containing 2 credit card/phone tap washing machines and dryers. Very simple to use and extremely efficient. You can purchase detergent and softener from a coin-only dispensing machine, but we choose to go to the grocery store for some. The front desk is managed by a man and a woman, at separate times of the day. They are both polite, and she is nice. He doesn't like tourists, and was very open about his feelings. She was just a real doll. All in all, my husband and I would return!
Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We're delighted you enjoyed our location, comfortable beds, spacious rooms, pool, and that our team made a positive impression. We also appreciate you pointing out the issues with the coffee maker, breakfast, and your front desk experience. Your feedback has been shared with our team as we work to improve, and we're grateful to know you and your husband would stay with us again.
A beautiful hotel and amazing experience! Mr. Jason and Ms. Pearl, especially, were super helpful and made us feel so welcome. We really appreciate them. :)
Thank you very much for such a glowing review. It is very special to see a staff member mentioned by name and they will be delighted! I am very happy to know you had an amazing experience staying with us and look forward to seeing you again. Warm regards, Acadia Jane, General Manager
Easy check-in/check-out at this hotel. We had a corner room situated next to a deck near the pool. It was a large room and very clean. It is convenient to Bar Harbor. It has free breakfast.
Thank you Michelle for choosing to stay with us when there are so many lodging choices in the Bar Harbor area.We appreciate your review and very pleased to know that you enjoyed your large and very clean room! We are 2 miles to the main entrance of Acadia National Park and 4 1/2 miles to downtown waterfront . A pretty ride! Warm wishes for a great rest of 2026! Acadia Jane, General Manager
This is a great hotel with pleasant, helpful staff. The breakfast is great. I have stayed here four times over the years and will return again.
That does my heart good Davidb02150JM ! Thank you for being a repeat guest and we appreciate your loyalty to Best Western. We are very pleased that you enjoyed our breakfast and our pleasant and helpful staff! We look forward to your next visit! Acadia Jane, GM
Friendly & attentive staff. Very nice & well maintained grounds and pool area. Just a few minute drive from Acadia park entrance.
Thank you! We are delighted that you found our staff to be friendly and attentive and enjoyed the grounds. Please stay with us again when you are in the Bar Harbor area. Warm regards, Acadia Jane, GM
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay at this property. It was easy access between Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. The room was clean and spacious. The breakfast was very good and staff helpful and professional. We did not use the pool but it looked very nice.
Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and found our location convenient for exploring both Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. It's great to know you appreciated the clean, spacious room, our breakfast, and the helpful service from our team. We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back on your next visit!
My daughter and I stayed here for 2 days as we visited Bar Harbor and Acadia. We had a slight issue at check in but it was cheerfully and promptly handled by Jane , the manager. The lobby has a coffee station and complimentary cookies. Our room was comfortable and clean. There is an outdoor pool but it was not warm enough to use it. Breakfast was included and is served in the building next to lobby. Breakfast offered coffee, tea, cereal, oatmeal, eggs, sausages, various breads and make your own waffle. The hotel is clean and was very quiet. It is located a few miles from the park and Bar Harbor. I would stay here again in the future.
Debbie and Chad where very helpful at breakfast. They also provided me with suggestions for grocery stores and other places to ho for restaurants.
Thank you very much! We all hope you will come stay with us again soon! Fall is beautiful!! Jane, GM
Somewhat updated rooms. Basic king room seemed somewhat small. Cleanliness was acceptable. Front desk staff was pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was adequate but generic. This hotel has an old school motel feel but was affordable and accessible to Acadia and the wonderful Lobster Pound restaurant next door.
Dear MARKG3016, Thank you so much for sharing your thoughtful feedback! We are glad you found our front desk team pleasant and that you appreciated our convenient location near Acadia. Being affordable and easily accessible is something we're proud to offer our guests. That said, your comments are very helpful, and we will certainly keep them in mind as we continue looking for ways to enhance both our room comfort and breakfast variety. We truly appreciate you choosing to stay with us and hope to welcome you back for another relaxing visit to the area! Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
Peggy sue was wonderful friendly and welcoming we loved a stay there just wish we could have gotten here earlier than late in the season .
Thank you so much! Peggy is a wonderful ambassador for our hotel, I agree. Please do come again and come earlier is wonderful. There really is not a bad time to visit Bar Harbor. Warm regards, Acadia Jane , General Manager
My husband and I are from Michigan and planned a vacation that included two days in Bar Harbor, Maine in October. Unfortunately my husband became ill and landed in the local hospital. Being that it was one of the busiest times of the year, I had a difficult time finding accommodations for during his one stay in the hospital. Every hotel and motel were booked. Your hotel and staff (Jane, Walter and Mary) managed to accommodate me during my time of need. I can't tell you how grateful I am for your hotel and staff.
Deborah, We are very grateful to you for taking the time to write this review. After all you have been through, it is amazing you have even givin us a thought. We are very happy that we were able to assist you in your time of need. We sincerely hope your husband is healing and doing much better. Please plan another trip and stay with us when you can really enjoy your visit to Bar Harbor! It was a pleasure to meet you and help you when you needed it. Warm regards, Acadia Jane, Walter and Mary
I was there with a bus tour and we spent 2 nights there. Super nice Inn and lovely setting. Room was so nice, clean and comfy. They served the best breakfast each morning. Debbie and Nancy were great!
Kathy C, Thank you for taking the time to post this review for us. We love our tour groups and we are very happy to know you enjoyedyour stay with us.

Dear Explorer67807417843, We appreciate your stay and the wonderful review. We are happy you enjoyed the dog area and our clean rooms. We look forward to seeing you again. Best wishes, Acadia Jane, GM
The kitchen staff were very helpful in managing the breakfast dining room and helping visitors to navigate the buffet.

Really nice hotel. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Nice free breakfast. Nice clean rooms and comfortable beds.
Dear Excursion16397224419, We are delighted to read about the wonderful experience you had recently at Best Western Acadia Park Inn. Nothing excites us more than knowing how much you enjoyed your stay, and especially the comfort of our beds. Your positive comments about our friendly team, breakfast, and clean accommodations are highly appreciated. We hope you are already planning another trip our way. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
Peggy Sue and Odette are the BEST! I had a misunderstanding about the reservation dates with the centralized customer service folks which resulted in us arriving 45 min after normal business hours to no room available. Odette and Peggy Sue let us in helped figure out the situation and recommended some places that may have room, but then they remembered one person had checked out earlier in the evening so Odette went and cleaned that room while Peggy Sue engaged us with stories and figured out how to rent us the room since it was showing booked by the person who left. Above and beyond customer service for sure! The rooms are cute,clean, and they give plenty of towels for each activity. As a diamond member I've stayed at a lot of best western hotels and this is top 5 for sure plus great service. PS call the front desk directly for the best help.
Dear gerarddW3282AA, Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful feedback! We are thrilled to hear that Peggy Sue and Odette made such a positive impression during your stay. It's heartwarming to know they went above and beyond to assist you during a difficult situation and turned it into a memorable experience with their kindness, creativity, and outstanding service. We're also glad you enjoyed the comfort of your room. We are honored to be among your top five Best Western stays and thank you for highlighting the benefit of calling our front desk team directly. We look forward to welcoming you back for another great stay at Best Western Acadia Park Inn! Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
Great hotel with very comfortable rooms! All the staff were very friendly. We had a king room with plenty of space and perfect for our 3 night stay. Definitely would stay here for our next trip
Dear JustL0ra, Thank you for your wonderful feedback on Best Western Acadia Park Inn! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your spacious king room and that our friendly team helped make your stay so comfortable. It's great to know our location worked well for your visit to Acadia, and we can't wait to welcome you back on your next trip. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
I hosted a bus group and the hotel was so accommodating. We enjoyed Peggy Sue who was at the front desk. She was so delightful and went out of her way for us. When we left next day manager and assistant manager held up signs come again. It made our day and they were the only ones who had the great gesture for us. Highly recommend them.
It was a joy to have you and your bus group stay with us. Peggy enjoys spoiling our guests whenever she can. It pleases us so to know you had an enjoyable time here and we do hope you will indeed come again! Your recommendation means a lot to us. We look forward to seeing you again in 2026! Warm regards for a great winter, Acadia Jane, General Manager
Nice clean place . Peggy Sue was great. Nice grounds close to Acadia national park. Deer out back of hotel. Pool looked nice but didn't use it. Good breakfast
Thank you Phyllism 729 for your review. We appreciate yourshort but very sweet review and wonderful remarks on Peggy Sue. She is indeed great. We love for our guests to spot the deer while here and enjoy our bountiful breakfast! Please stay with us again when in the Bar Harbor area. Warm wishes for a great rest of 2015! Acadia Jane, General Manager
Peggy Sue at front desk was awesome. Very friendly & extremely helpful. Made our stay very pleasurable. Put up with our carrying on with our meetings in the lobby.
Dear Tgerner, I am so happy that Peggy Sue made your stay more pleasurable. She has a great sense of humore and I agree that she is awesome and friendly. It makes us all happy to have our guests happy and we appreciate such a nice review from you. Please stay again and I am sure you will be welcome just as much the next time! Best wishes , Acadia Jane
Everything was great. All of the staff was fantastic—very friendly and professional . Peggy Sue, the night manager, was exceptional. She was pleasant, helpful and accommodating to our bus group. I gave it a 4 rating instead of a 5 because our king size bed was a bit worn and was sunken in the middle. Our room was fine otherwise. The hotel was in a quiet location with a nice safe area for my morning walk. There is a cool ice cream place a short walk from the hotel. Definitely a place to check out. We highly the Best Western Acadia Park Inn!
Thank you for your recommendation! We enjoy our bus groups, expecially when they join us in the lobby! Cookies and coffee and getting to know us. Peggy is a wonderful hostess. I wil check out that mattress. Thanks for that feedback. The location is safe and quiet but very handy tro lobster and ice cream for sure! We look forward to meeting with you all again! Warm regards, Acadia Jane, GM
PeggySue the front desk agent was very polite. She did not have a program with some of the group sat in the lobby to talk. She answered your questions and if u needed something she gave it to you right away.
Thank you for your stay with us and for mentioning Peggy Sue! She is our Front Office Manager and works most afternoons and evening. She loves to make our guests feel at right home. I am very happy that you all felt comfortable enough to relax and enjoy yourselves. We all hope you will stop back again and enjoy our serene property again soon! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Peggy Sue evening manager was very accommodating, helped with getting around property and other areas to see for my return trip to Maine! Rooms were clean. Location was great. Staff at breakfast was very friendly. Room 122
Thank you Doreen! We are happy that you choose to stay with us for your first trip to Bar Harbor, Maine when there are so many loidging choices here. Peggy Sue is a also a great help in explaining the area for our guests. I am glad you found our rooms clean and the location great. Please stay again next time you visit the area. Warm wishes, Acadia Jane, GM
Near Acadia NP entrance, clean, updated rooms, nice amenities, good customer service and fairly priced. Very good value.
Everybody was friendly at this hotel. Mary greeted us. It was Renovated very recently and the lobby is pretty welcoming. There's coffee and tea and cookies in the afternoon. A little fireplace and it looks like a living room. There's a vending machine and small souvenirs as well to purchase. The pool was clean and the grounds are kept very nice. The flowers are great. The grass is trimmed. They have Adirondack chairs and benches for you to sit under trees or in the sun. The property has several low buildings and there is a building for your breakfast Which is complimentary . The breakfast area was taken care of very nicely, by I think her name was Bonnie. She was friendly and busy. Our room was also recently renovated in the 500 building. They have amenities for the shower which were filled. The room had a nice size TV, and air conditioner, which worked properly, plenty of pool towels and bathroom towels. There was a small refrigerator which was functional and a microwave as well! I would recommend this place because it is close to other places of interest like mini golf and several restaurants which are not in town. There was also a free bus which stops in front of the hotel if you don't want to park in town.
Maria, thank you so much for such glowing compliments on our property! We are very happy that you enjoyed the pool, lawns and flowers as well as the staff! Bonnie was actually Nancy, but she was happy to be mentioned. She wears a perpetual smile. You can tell she loves her job and our guests! Your recommendation to other travellers means a great deal to us and we thank you. Please stay again soon! Warm regards, Acadia Jane, General Manager
This is a great place to stay when visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia National park. It is clean , spacious and well run by the friendly staff , especially the front desk who were very helpful with good information about the areas . Mary , Peggy Sue and Walter were especially informative and Jason always greeted us with a friendly smile. The free Island Explorer bus stopped outside the hotel to pick us up and drop us off so we did not have to drive much. Altogether we had a very enjoyable time staying here away from hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor.
Dear Margaretms2261uy, Thank you for your generous comments and for highlighting our awesome location. It brightens our day to know your stay was nothing short of exceptional. We are pleased you had a relaxing stay and that our clean and spacious accommodations and friendly service exceeded your expectations. Thank you for the special shout -out to Mary, Peggy, Walter, and Jason. It was a pleasure to host you and we hope to see you again soon at The Best Western Acadia Park Inn. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
Just returned home after a pleasant 3-day stay at the Best Western Acadia Park Inn. Our dog friendly room was clean and well maintained. As others have noted the separate breakfast room was busy. Trays were available so we were able to enjoy breakfast in our room. Walter was professional and friendly as he helped for check in and check out. The location is great for several nearby outdoor restaurants featuring Lobster and BBQ. Acadia NP and downtown Bar Harbor are just minutes away. We hope to return and highly recommend this hotel without reservation.
Dear HenryH993, Thank you for your detailed feedback about Best Western Acadia Park Inn. We are pleased to know that you enjoyed your stay with us and that our pet-friendly policy made us a convenient choice for your visit. Your pets are a part of your family, and we want them to enjoy their time with us just as much as you do. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your clean, comfortable, and well-maintained room. It's also wonderful to know that Walter made such a positive impression during check-in and check-out. We will be sure to share your kind words with him. We are glad the breakfast setup worked well for you and that you could take advantage of the trays to enjoy your meal in the comfort of your room. It's great to hear you also had the chance to explore the nearby outdoor dining spots and, of course, the incredible beauty of Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor just minutes away. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back again for another memorable stay! Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
Everything from check in to checkout was excellent. The property's well maintained. It has all the services and is convenient to the park and the town. A shout out to personnel I encountered: peggy sue, kevin, walter, nancy, debbie, and odette. Thank you!
Thank you so much for acknowledging so many staff members by name! We are delighted that you found us to be excellent from check in to check out and so well maintained! That is music to our ears! Please stay with us again soon! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Our experience with the resort was really more than we thought it was going to be. The rooms clean, the staff very friendly and the pool was very clean. The only complaint that I have is that there wasn't enough loungers for the amount of guest that came to the pool. Also could use more umbrellas other than that all good!
Dear Trail168369, Thank you for your kind and generous review of Best Western Acadia Park Inn. We are delighted to know that we provided you with an exceptional stay from start to finish. Your comments about clean rooms, friendly staff, and a well-kept pool are greatly appreciated. That said, we thank you for your feedback regarding the loungers and umbrellas by the pool, and we will certainly consider it as we work to improve guest comfort. It will be our pleasure to welcome you again when you are back in the area. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
Stayed her last week and really liked it. Was traveling solo for a couple of days to do some" Tourist Hiking" in Arcadia. I chose this BW location because it was just outside of Bar Harbor and hoping it didn't have as much traffic. It did not disappoint. It`s also close to the National Park Entrance. Yes it`s a Motel style Hotel. Which I like because I could literally park right in front of my door and made super easy for unloading and loading the car each day. Was only here 2 days so I did not use the laundry. There is a playground and a fire pit that was on my side of building. Only regret is the pool was located on the other side of the property so I never used it. Breakfast is your typical compilatory fair. Everything fresh and hot. Wish they had more hot item selections then the 2 on that day ,it was eggs and turkey sausage patties? settled for a bagel and coffee. Room was spottles and well stocked. Bed was comfortable. Shower pressure was great after a hiking and exploring all day. Well worth the price point. Following the growing trend the Front Desk is only open to 9 pm but a Welcome letter does cover questions.
Dear Mygrey1, Wow – we absolutely enjoyed reading your five-star review! We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay with us and found our location convenient for exploring Acadia National Park, and that the ease of parking, comfortable room, and fresh breakfast helped make your visit enjoyable. It is also great to hear that our team's welcome letter and amenities like the playground and fire pit added to your stay. We are pleased to read that we were successful in making that happen for you and at a great price. That said, your feedback on our breakfast variety is duly noted, and we will consider these in our ongoing efforts to improve. We look forward to welcoming you back to Best Western Acadia Park Inn and making more memories on your next visit to the area. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
I asked during check-in if there was an elevator and was told that this is a motel with rooms that have exterior entrances. We found the room to be spacious, clean, comfortable, and quiet. Although my husband felt the room had an odd odor, it was not offensive to me. We could park right outside our door, making it easy to unload. The breakfast is a very basic continental breakfast, but since it's free, it serves its purpose. Another nice feature is that the shuttle to Acadia's different entrances and downtown Bar Harbor can be accessed in front of the motel. There is no official stop, so you stand on the side of the road, and the bus will eventually stop, LOL. One nearly passed us by but screeched to a halt to pick us up. It's a great option to take the shuttle downtown, avoid parking, have dinner, shop, and enjoy ice cream. The last shuttle back to the motel is at 10:15 pm. Rooms are cleaned every 3 days unless requested. If you want clean towels without having the room cleaned, you can put the dirty ones outside your door. We did not know any of this because we hadn't read the fine print and found out when we traipsed to the front desk with dirty towels in tow. It was a good stay for last-minute plans, a little pricey for what it is, but to be expected for the location.
Dear scootgal, Thank you for sharing such a detailed review of your stay. We are glad to hear you found your room spacious, clean, comfortable, and quiet, and that you enjoyed the convenience of parking right outside your door and using the nearby shuttle to explore Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor. Your feedback regarding the room odor has been duly noted, and we will ensure to address this as part of our continuous efforts to improve. Regarding the housekeeping services, we regret you missed the information in our Welcome Letter, which explains that guests can request service and fresh linens or pick them up at the front desk. It is great to know you were able to make the most of your last-minute plans, and we hope to welcome you back for another enjoyable visit. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
The staff was friendly, the room was spacious and clean. The location was close to Bar Harbor center and close to Acadia National Park.
Dear bethcN74OQ, Thank you for this lovely review! We truly agree, when you want to enjoy your visit to the area to the fullest, we are one of the best options in the area. Being close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park makes us a convenient, yet affordable choice for our guests. It is also delightful to know that you appreciated your well-appointed room and our friendly team. We would love the opportunity to welcome you back again to Best Western Acadia Park Inn whenever your travels bring you back to this area. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
The Best Western Acadia Park Inn is the best of the best in Bar Harbor! A true gem of a property, convenient location providing easy access to Acadia National Park and downtown. Family like atmosphere with a beautiful, relaxing layout to include picnic tables, outdoor seating with fire pits make for a warm and inviting environment. Awesome outdoor pool and kids playground, with a nice breakfast room close by. Very clean property with comfortable rooms - the beds are great! Special mention for the King Rooms located right next to the pool. A very well managed Best Western by Jane - General Manager with excellent Front Office, Housekeeping and Maintenance teams. The staff are incredible while creating great memories and hospitality. Jane, Odette, and Peggy Sue are a fantastic management team, to include Mary & Walter (front desk), Kevin from Maintenance, and John, Yeraldy, Edyand, and Jason from Housekeeping. Very much looking forward to my next visit at this amazing property in Bar Harbor.
Thank you KateM. We are delighted to hear such awesome compliments from a guest! All the staff that you mentioned deserve kudo's for their dedication and the ownership they take in this property. They would not care any more for if theiy owned it themselves. Thank you for taking the time to write such a glowing review and please stay again soon! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Friendly staff. It was strange that you have to call the morning before to request your room cleaned or new towels or washcloths between 7-3. You set trash and used towels outside your room. Breakfast was hot and great every day we were there. It was a good stay overall.
I am glad to hear that overall your stay was good. I apologize for not having daily service. We have limited staff, like pretty much all of this area. We do hope you will come back again. Warm regards, Acadia Jane, GM
A great hotel and very convenient for Bar Harbor and Arcadia National Park. The staff are very friendly. With a particular reference Peggy Sue and Debra who were really helpful to us. The suite we had was very clean and tidy. The breakfast was well stocked with both hot and cold items. We would stay again without hesitation.
Dear DouglasW231, Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience at Best Western Acadia Park Inn. We appreciate your kind words for Peggy and Debra; they will be so proud to read your thoughts about their efficient service. We are happy that we met your expectations with our clean accommodations and breakfast spread. We love knowing that you plan to return, and we look forward to providing you with another great stay. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
Best Western Acadia Park Inn is located a few miles away from Bar Harbor and the entrance to Acadia National Park which makes it a convenient place to stay while visiting the park. It is a typical Best Western providing good accommodations, basic continental breakfast, friendly customer service. It is also very close to two excellent eateries, Bar Harbor Lobster Pound and Mainly Meat BBQ. Recommended.
Thank you for being our guest! We hope you had a great time visiting our beautiful area and will stay with us again soon! Warm regards, Acadia Jane, GM
Had an amazing stay at the Best Western Acadia Inn & would highly recommend it! First, the location is very convenient. We liked that it was out of the Bar Harbor town so it was not chaotic, yet everything in the park and nearby was still super accessible and an easy drive to everywhere we wanted to go. Also some amazing lobster places right next door! Next, the service was amazing! All the staff were so welcoming and helpful. In particular I want to give a big thanks to Peggy Sue, our travel got impacted by a flight cancellation and she was so patient and helpful during the process and a bright spot in a stressful situation. Next are the rooms. It is bungalow style and so convenient since you can drive up and park right in front of your door. The rooms themselves exceeded our expectations. They were specious, very clean, and pretty modern. We had such a comfortable stay. The best western was great value & I can't recommend it enough!
Dear emW2309OD, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! We're absolutely delighted to hear that you had such an enjoyable stay with us at the Best Western Acadia Park Inn. It's wonderful to know that you appreciated our convenient location. While we are close enough to easily explore the Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, we are tucked away from the noise and crowds, letting our guests enjoy all the attractions and at the same time have a restful stay. We are especially grateful for your recognition of our team. Peggy Sue will be thrilled to hear your kind words. It is also great to hear that you found the room layout convenient and the accommodations comfortable, clean, and modern. Thank you again for recommending us, and we hope to be your preferred hotel every time you visit. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
Great motel style facility where we parked outside our door. That was nice. The room was nice, not overly large but comfortable for 3 of us. The breakfast in a separate house was one of the best selections and friendliest staff ever. Easy access to the highway going north, or south to Acadia and Bar Harbor. I would recommend this place and would stay again.
Dear 241pattyh, Thank you for your positive review and for recommending us to future travelers. We are glad that we were able to accommodate all of your needs while you were here. It's great to know that your room was comfortable for your group and that our breakfast met your expectations both in terms of variety and friendly service. We are also pleased that you found our location ideal for exploring both Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, as well as for easy travel along the highway. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us. We look forward to welcoming you back soon to Best Western Acadia Park Inn. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
I had a review but it was too harsh so I am starting again. I did not enjoy my stay as I had issues the with one level drive up to the door motel look and the dark rooms and the awful barn door on the bathroom. I could reach my hands out all around the barn door as it does not close so there is no bathroom privacy at all. The positives: the pool was heated to 82 even though it was a cold day and kids seem to be enjoying it. It is close to the entrance of the national park. They tried hard to have a nice breakfast ready to go and the staff people worked super hard keeping it replenished. The front desk lady was so nice and helpful. There is a fun outdoor bbq place next door.
Thank you for doing a rewrite. It is interesting how one person loves the close proximity of their car to their room and how easy it makes it versus lugging the suitcases inside and up an elevator while some dislike it. Bar Harbor is a town that has a good mixture of older style hotels/motels and new more modern ones. I guess if the world's inhabitants were all the same it would be very boring indeed. Thank you. Acadia Jane
The hotel is not a fancy Best Western, but I guess it's all about location, location, location. The staff was extremely polite and helpful. Will return to this hotel in the future.
Dear davidbO2150JM, Thank you for the kind review. We are truly fortunate to be in such an ideal location, and it is great to know this added to your stay. We are also glad you appreciated our friendly staff. It is delightful to know that you will be returning in the future. It will be our pleasure to host you again at Best Western Acadia Park Inn. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
I don't understand the glowing reviews but here are my observations. Never stayed at a BW so this was a shock to see a roadside motel set up. 1. room was very dark and dreary with little light options and one window covered w heavy drape. 2. no sofa, just one chair. If there is more than one person you have to sit on the bed or at the desk 3. The reason for one star? OMG the bathroom door is a barn door and is so open, does not seal around the edges at all. Zero bathroom privacy, it is like having a curtain instead of a door. Ewwww. I will never stay in a hotel with a barn door for the bathroom 4. No closet, just a rack in the corner of the room 5. Located on busy street, no sidewalks and no place to walk anywhere. Also located five miles from the town of bar harbor. 6. Free breakfast the first day that said "hot breakfast" but the main entree was hot hard boiled eggs :( Now the positives 1. Every staff person is so nice and works so hard and goes the extra mile, very impressive. The lady at the front desk was awesome and so helpful. 2. It is close to the entrance to acadia national park 3. The price was $200, good compared to the other hotels close to town. So while this place did not work for us it might work for others, it depends on your comfort levels. I prefer to have a bathroom door.
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. I apologize for your unhapiness with our bathroom door. We were no tapproved by Best Western to have any other kind and it is a trendy solution that most like. Depending on the area of the property, some rooms may appear darker due to trees and of course, our less than sunny days so far this spring. Hard boiled eggs are one of the required egg items that we must have to offer our Best Western guests. There was also hot sausage, waffles, fresh fruits, cereals, danish, muffins, oatmeal, juices, coffee, bagels with choice of cream cheeses, jams, jellies, peanut butter, bacon, yogurt...I am sorry you were offended with a warm hard boiled egg. We are located on Rt 3 which is the main highway into Bar Harbor. We have two walking distance restaurants very close by. I guess it all depends on what one prefers. It is a pleasure to read that every staff person was nice and impressive. We do hope you enjoyed your visit to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Best wishes for the rest of 2025. Acadia Jane, General Manager
If you are coming to explore Acadia National Park, this is a nice affordable hotel. It is an easy drive to the park. It is about 5 miles from the Bar Harbor downtown. It an old style motel where you park right in front of your room. It has been nicely updated. They have an outdoor pool that is heated. The breakfast is typical. It was a bit crowded in terms of room to move around in the breakfast building. I liked that there was outdoor seating next to the breakfast building. The location is along the road but not too close. There is a lobster pound within walking distance that we really liked. If visiting again I would stay here.
6infamily, Thank you very much for your stay and wonderful review. We are delighted that you enjoyed you time with us and we look forward to seeing you again! Warm regards, Acadia Jane, General Manager
The Best Western Bar Harbor is a great value. The location is excellent for access to Acadia. The room was very clean and comfortable. Nancy and crew prepared a beautiful selection of choices for the breakfast that is included. The dining area was immaculate and the staff friendly and attentive.
Dear BarbieMMW, Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful review of your stay at Best Western Acadia Park Inn! It is delightful to hear you found our location convenient for exploring the area and that your room was clean and comfortable. We're especially pleased that you enjoyed the breakfast selection. Nancy and the team will be thrilled to know their efforts made a positive impression. Your compliments about the immaculate dining area and the friendliness of our staff mean a great deal to us. We truly appreciate you choosing to stay with us and hope to welcome you back again soon! Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
very clean, friendly, nice grounds you can tell they are tended to. Parking outside the door for ease of unloading and loading up the car. Very helpful information and assistance from Peggy Sue and Audet. Well Located to explore different areas of Acadia. Would add granola to the yogurt area.
Dear 5cync, Thank you for your fantastic review of the Best Western Acadia Park Inn! We are thrilled that our clean accommodations, parking, and our maintained grounds impressed you and that you appreciated our ideal location. We aim to deliver exceptional hospitality, and your kind words, especially about Peggy, Sue, and Audet, are truly encouraging for our entire team. Thank you again for your time. We hope to be your preferred hotel every time you visit the area. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
Stayed for 3 nights while visiting Acadia National Park. Check in was easy and we felt very welcome. Hotel was clean from the lobby to the room as well as the breakfast building. Stayed in king room 305. Room was spacious and bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was well stocked with options and all of the hotel staff was friendly and accommodating. This was probably the best run and nicest BW that I have stayed in. Highly recommended!!!!
Dear JoeL939, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had an excellent three-night stay with us at Best Western Acadia Park Inn. It's great to know you felt welcomed from the moment you arrived and that you found everything, from the lobby and your room to the breakfast area, clean and comfortable. Your kind words about our staff truly mean a lot to us. Knowing this was the nicest Best Western you've stayed in is the highest compliment, and we're honored by your recommendation. It was a pleasure to host you, and we look forward to your next visit. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
Pros: Comfy beds, clean room. Cons: We had an accessible room as I need grab bars in the bathroom. But the shower cube was not usable at all. Hand-held shower did not work, but later husband found that if you rotated the handle a full 4 times, the water came out of the unit. Who knew? You have to sit to shower as no room to stand and wash. Dreadful stench coming from the sink drain. At first we thought it was the water as you only smelled it when the water was running. Room also smelled stale and damp. Bathroom took 2 entire days to warm up enough to attempt to shower. It was freezing cold, even though we kept the door open all the time to get some heat in. Didn't work. Towels smelled stale and were very rough. Breakfast was meager at best. Maybe we came in at a time between replenishment, but what was available wasn't very pleasant. We were there for 4 nights , but after the first morning, didn't return for breakfast again. Plenty of electric outlets, but no surface near them to hold things needing charging. Except in the bathroom and that is not a good idea. One outlet on the one bedside table to share. The room was very pricey for what we got. Pretty sure it is pricey as it is close to the entrance to Acadia Park. Would not return.
Dear cgO4480YD, I appreciate your review, and I do wish that I could change the ADA shower situation, but it does have a built-in seat for safety, as most need to be seated. I also wish that you had notified the front desk concerning the odor from your drain. We just opened for the season, and maintenance would have addressed that immediately for you. Our breakfast offers everything a "core" Best Western requires and then some. Their requirements have changed this year. We will look into the other situations that you mentioned. Our rates are similar to others in the area that have the same or very similar amenities. Please give us another try when in the area. Thank you, Acadia Jane GM
This Best Western is a great option when in Bar Harbor or to see Acadia. The staff couldn't have been nicer and Peggy Sue (front desk) was even willing to stay late for my late check in, if needed. (I'm glad that wasn't needed!) The room literally was spotless. The bathroom was spotless and everything shined. If you are looking for a value place to stay, this is a great choice! Clean, well kept, great staff, solid breakfast, and quiet.
We thank you very much for such a shining review of our staff and your stay. We look forward to seeing you again soon! Best wishes , Acadia Jane, GM
Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were very good. My first morning at breakfast, I asked if they had any instant oatmeal. Odette told me she would make me some oatmeal, I told her not to bother. She brought me a bowl of oatmeal that did not taste instant. Peggy Sue was at the desk when we checked in. She was very friendly and helpful. The next 2 mornings, Nancy was in the kitchen. Everything was laid out perfectly and tasted delicious. She was very friendly and shared some places in the area that we might want to visit. She was right. Nancy wanted to know what else she could do for us. Our stay was really fun and comfortable. We loved staying at the Best Western. We will look for them as we travel.
Thank you very much for your visit and for taking the time to write this great review. The staff here loves to treat our guests as our house guests and I am glad it shows! Please visit with us again soon! Warm regards, Acadia Jane, GM
Room was spotless, the fixtures, tub and even the base of the toilet was shining! This place is a hidden gem. Peggy Sue made us feel like family, she was eager to make sure we had a great stay. Breakfast was also good, hot and plentiful. We will be back! 5 stars
Dear melissalR5410BV, It was a pleasure to welcome you as our guest at Best Western Acadia Park Inn, and we are elated you thoroughly enjoyed your stay with us. We are delighted to know you appreciated the spotless condition of your room, with attention to every detail, and our delectable breakfast. Also, It is wonderful that Peggy did an excellent job taking care of you, and it will be our pleasure to pass along your kind remarks to her. We love knowing that you plan to return and look forward to providing you with another great stay. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
Peggy Sue is the most kind and generous person! She loves what she does and it shows! There was a grab bag in our room that had all kinds of goodies in it and we enjoyed all of them. She is an asset to the Best Western Acadia Park Inn and made us feel like we were home.
Dear E1494HUpaigel, We are glad you enjoyed your stay at Best Western Acadia Park Inn and took the time to share your great experience with fellow travelers. Peggy exemplifies superior customer service every day and we are pleased to know she exceeded your expectations. We will surely pass on your compliments to her. Thank you for leaving such a positive review and we hope to see you again soon. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
Room and bedding was fine; staff helpful and breakfast/dining area well maintained and staff keep it stocked, etc.; liked location outside of BH; room and property well maintained but tub/shower drained very slow so that water from tub [waiting for hot water] quickly overwhelmed the drain and began to fill the tub. Would stay again.
Dear bobjG1452AH, Thank you for your positive review. It's a pleasure knowing that we were able to accommodate all of your needs while you were here. We appreciate this wonderful review very much and look forward to welcoming you back soon to The Best Western Acadia Park Inn. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
Very spacious and comfortable king bed room. The breakfast offered many different food choices and the area was clean. Great location for visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We drove into town and easily found paid parking. It would be nice to have more eating options outside of downtown, other than lobster.
Dear Daydream436640, Thank you for being our guest and for sharing your experience with other travelers. We are pleased you had a relaxing stay and that our accommodations and location exceeded your expectations. It was a pleasure to host you and we hope to see you again soon at The Best Western Acadia Park Inn. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
Best western was conveniently located to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. It was more affordable than the price of hotels in Bar Harbor. The room was clean and the complimentary breakfast was good! It looked like it was a motel renovated to a Best Western. Overall it was very nice .
Thank you very much for your stay and this wonderful review. We are happy you found everything to your liking and we hope that you will stay with us again when in the Bar Harbor area. Sincerely, Acadia Jane
Great experience and great location! Next to an amazing lobster restaurant (The Bar Harbor Lobster Pound). Mary and Peggy Sue at the front desk were so sweet and helpful. I will be back!! Don't miss Schoodic Peninsula(part of Acadia but on the mainland). Very cool!
Dear Sherpa13330888730, Thank you for the glowing review of Best Western Acadia Park Inn! From our great location to our warm and welcoming team members like Peggy and Sue - we are thrilled to know you enjoyed your time with us. Your compliments will be shared with our associates as a motivation to continue providing great hospitality to all our guests. We would love to host your next visit when you plan another trip to the city. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
Comfortable beds. Large breakfast area in separate building. Typical breakfast flare. Outdoor pool looked inviting (we didn't use, but there were kids enjoying it). If you walk a little ways, the Island explorer bus has a pick up at the campground.
Dear DutchLace, Thank you for your kind and generous review of Best Western Acadia Park Inn. We are delighted to know that we provided you with an exceptional stay from start to finish. Your comments about our beds' comfort, breakfast experience, and location are greatly appreciated. Thank you once again for highlighting our refreshing pool, and the bus pick up which is indeed a great perk for those who want to explore the area It will be our pleasure to welcome you once again when you are back in the area. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
Facility was very nice and clean. Beds were soft . The front desk staff were very unfriendly! Especially the older lady. Very rude . I would recommend if going to Bar Harbor Maine look into cottages and find cheaper rates. We were charged $329 by Expedia then an additional 40 when we arrived
Dear Lynnettra, We have a pet policy that charges $40 per night for a pet and only in pet friendly rooms. No on line travel agency, including Expedia does the charging. We charge you here for that. They all state there may be a fee. It was not included in the rate you paid them. They will not state that there IS a fee. That is not our decision . There are not many places in Bar Harbor who do accept pets and those that do are very limited in how many they accept. I am happy you fund our facility to be very clean and beds comfortable. As a rule, our front desk staff is very kind. I find it hard to accept that anyone on our front desk was rude. Incidentally, the rates you pay to an on line travel agency is not the same rates we receive. Regards, Acadia Jane
We were assigned a room that wreaked of weed/marijuana. It was imbedded in the rug, curtains, bedding etc. We reported the issue and asked to be switched to a different room, but the front desk staff said it wasn't possible ... they were sold out. It was not until we were able to find accommodations elsewhere and asked to cancel/refund that a room miraculously became available. My apologies to whoever checked in after us and was stuck with the awful smelling room that we refused. Obviously if we had not found somewhere else to stay, we would have lacked leverage and be stuck in the pot smelling room. Other than that, the hotel was fine - but not worth the price. We only stayed one night (because they would not allow a refund for the first night of our 3-night stay). We cancelled the remaining 2 nights, which were refundable.
Thank you for your review, however it is not accurate. Our rooms are checked for everything including odors. Unless someone was smoking pot next door (which we didn't smell at their checkout) we believe you did not like the room you were assigned. Perhaps our lodging was not close enough to downtown for you? At the time we were unable to move you to another room. Cancelations occur due to flight cancelations, illness, etc. .and we happened to have one of those occurrences. There was no miracle. The room was thoroughly inspected upon your departure and no odors were found to be. Our property has a non-smoking clause in the registration paperwork and every guest is required to sign and faces a special cleaning fee if found to be smoked in. I am happy you found what you were looking for closer to town. Acadia Jane, GM
I read the reviews before booking and they were right...one of the cleanest hotels I have ever stayed. Staff was very helpful for any requests. Breakfast was expected. nice variety of items to start your day. One area of improvement would be to more adequately heat the 'hot' items to be truly hot. Rooms were good as advertised, albeit a little tired. I would stay here again.
Dear 460fn, We are thrilled to learn that, at every turn, we exceeded your expectations for an exceptional stay. Thank you for highlighting our clean accommodations, dedicated staff, and varied breakfast options. However, we utilize feedback like yours to improve our guest experience, and we appreciate your time. We look forward to providing you with another great stay at Best Western Acadia Park Inn on your next visit to the area. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
Our family visited Bar Harbor, Maine for the first time and stayed at this Best Western in Acadia. I cannot say enough about the cleanliness of not only the rooms but the property as well . We met the sweetest lady at the front desk. Mary gave us so many helpful recommendations. Their breakfast was delicious and Laurie and Karen were so helpful and attentive to make sure that everyone was taken care of. There is a shuttle bus that stops right in front of the hotel to take you to the Village at Bar Harbor. It is only 2 miles from Acadia National Park.
Dear W8728QTdonnac, Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing to stay with us at Best Western Acadia Park Inn during your first visit to the area! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our clean accommodations, delectable breakfast, ideal location, and shuttle services. It is wonderful to know you appreciated our friendly staff especially Mary, Laurie, and Karen, who made your stay even more special with their helpfulness and care. It will be a pleasure to host you again when you return to the area. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
The place was nice, clean. The staff were friendly. The breakfast was good one morning and just okay the next morning. The beds were comfortable. The pool was very clean with lots of chairs. It was easy to get to, right off the highway. All the rooms are easy to access
Dear valeriewS4236KB, Thank you very much for leaving this lovely review! It is great to know that you enjoyed the services of our friendly staff, the cleanliness of our accommodations, the comfort of our beds, and our pool. Also, our location is indeed very convenient being right on the highway. We are thrilled to hear that we made such a positive impression and it will be our pleasure to welcome you back to Best Western Acadia Park Inn for another rejuvenating stay! Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
For what it is, the hotel is comfortable, clean and has easy access from Bar Harbor. Staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast is average. The scrambled egg could be a bit more flavor, bacon is a bit over cooked. I wish they have a better coffee machine that can make other type of coffee such as espresso, latte, ..etc. The hotel design and layout feel like back in the 80's. But the rooms, breakfast area and front desk are fully renovated and clean. They did the best they can to make is up to date.
Dear schristian_c2019, Thank you so much for this positive review. We are glad that everything went well during your stay and that the comfort of our accommodations, friendly staff, and location made for a good stay. However, your comment about your breakfast experience has been noted and we value your feedback as part of our continual effort to improve the experience we extend to our guests. We understand that some parts of the hotel have a classic design, but we have tried to renovate and modernize key areas, and we appreciate you noticing these updates. Thank you once again for choosing Best Western Acadia Park Inn and we look forward to making your next visit a great one once again. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
Very clean, great staff at check-in. The hotel is a great location and you can take the free transit bus into town right from the front driveway. The breakfast was nice and kept well stocked the room what you expect but very clean and well appointed the pool was a nice touch, we would definitely return
Dear Jesh260, It was a pleasure to welcome you as our guest at Best Western Acadia Park Inn, and we are delighted that you thoroughly enjoyed your stay with us. Thank you for appreciating our clean accommodations, friendly check-in staff, electable breakfast, and refreshing pool. Your feedback is the best measure of our performance, so we appreciate you taking the time to share it with us. It is always a joy to hear our guests are excited about returning; we are looking forward to it! Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
Beautiful property ..clean and well kept..our room was fantastic in every way..the pool was well kept and exceptionally clean.The lady at front desk was friendly and professional..I esp appreciate the large parking spaces in front of room...im a collector of classic cars and its wonderful that I didn't have to worry about door dings. Thankyou
Dear 856brenm, We are thrilled to learn that, at every turn, we exceeded your expectations for an exceptional stay. Thank you for highlighting our clean accommodations, the pool, and ample parking. It is delightful to hear that you appreciated our front desk staff. We will ensure to identify the team member who assisted you during your stay and commend them for their excellent service. Thank you once again, and we look forward to providing you with another great stay at Best Western Acadia Park Inn on your next visit to the area. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
We found that our room was immaculate and the bed sheets were fresh & clean and the king bed super comfy. The breakfast buffet the next morning had something for everyone and the waffles were made from scratch. Will definitely stay there again.
Dear SJF869, Thank you for letting us know you had an amazing time at The Best Western Acadia Park Inn. While it is great to hear about the positive experience with your comfortable accommodations, we were especially pleased that you thoroughly enjoyed the wide variety of breakfast options we offer. It is one of the most popular amenities among our guests. It is always a joy to hear our guests are excited about returning; we are looking forward to it. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
Great hotel. Rooms are nicely updated, clean and spacious. Pool water was warm. Friendly staff at the complimentary breakfast. Would definitely recommend staying here. Very close to entrance to Acadia National park and about 15 minutes to Bar Harbor.
Dear C7162RHkathyc, Thank you for choosing to stay at Best Western Acadia Park Inn. We are delighted to see that your stay matched your expectations and you appreciated our comfortable accommodations and warm hospitality. We are also glad that our excellent location being close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, suited your plans. Your recommendation to others means a lot to us and we look forward to having you as our guest again in the future. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
Location is pretty good, fairly close to downtown and Acadia. Bar Harbour has predominantly Inns, a few hotel chains. Very expensive. This one is a good match, combining the best price, closest location and conditions. It's clean, although I could feel a funny smell maybe from the carpet. Well kept, beautiful area, gardens. Easy to park, average breakfast.
Dear elizabethhO7689UI, Thank you so much for being our guest at Best Western Acadia Park Inn and taking the time to leave a review. Our goal is to offer our guests comfortable accommodations at reasonable rates, so we are pleased we met your expectations. Our well-maintained accommodations and ideal location make us a great choice when visiting the area. We hope your positive experience will bring you back for another excellent stay. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
We were very disappointed in this hotel since the price is so high. This is one of those motels where you drive right up to the door, and the one window in your room overlooks the parking lot. If you pull the curtains for privacy you have no light in the room. That obvious observation aside, the worst part was the HORRIBLE smell of this room. We noticed it when we first checked in but then opened the windows for a bit. By the evening when we had closed the windows to go to sleep the smell was overpowering--it smelled like urine and/ or pets (or maybe pet urine). The beds are also super soft. You have to walk outside to go to breakfast which was super crowded. It was average for a hotel breakfast--mostly carbs. By the end of our stay we were almost in tears over the smell and couldn't wait to get out. All the hotel manager (or staff person) could say was that he was sorry. A couple of positives: the location is fantastic as it is close to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Also the property on which the hotel sits is well kept and beautiful.
Dear nemomd, Thank you for being our guest and for reviewing your stay. We apologize for not meeting your expectations with your room. What you described does not meet our standards and we will follow up on your feedback to ensure we are providing clean and comfortable accommodations to our guests. We appreciate you sharing your experience so we may improve. We hope you will consider our hotel on your next visit to the area so that we can deliver on the guest experience you deserve. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
This location is great for access to Acadia National Park. Only about 10 minutes. Very well maintained hotel although roadside has a nice wooded setting. Also close to Bar Harbor but stay outside of bustle. Nice outdoor pool too.
Thank you Timothy for taking the time to write this wonderful review of your stay with us. We are happy you enjoyed the serenity of our property and our pristine swimming pol! Please stay again! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
This was my second time staying at this hotel, and I was once again pleased with my stay!! The staff is friendly, helpful, and courteous. The rooms are nice. The entrance for every room leads you directly outdoors; you can park right in front of your room; really convenient! The beds are comfortable, the grounds are great, and the hotel is only a short drive from Acadia National Park. And best of all, they are very decently priced for a hotel in the Acadia National Park area. I will definitely stay here again next time I visit ANP and Bar Harbor!
How nice to read such a grand review of your stay with us. We are delighted that you are a returning guest with plans to stay again! We certainly appreciate all the lovely compliments you have bestowed upon us. It has been a pleasure to have you as our guest. Sincerely, Acadia Jane, GM
We enjoyed our stay. It was close to the parks and Bar Harbor. Just wish there was a room big enough for 6 available at booking.
Dear Terese D, Thank you for being our guest and for sharing your experience with other travelers. We are pleased you had a relaxing stay and that our location exceeded your expectations. It was a pleasure to host you and we hope to see you again soon at The Best Western Acadia Park Inn. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
The room was very clean and the bathroom was very modern. While very expensive, this motel did not provide maid service for a two night stay. Breakfast was very good. The grounds were beautifully landscaped. Very near an excellent lobster pound.
Dear A4319DCcraigs, Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to share your experience. We are glad to hear that you had an overall positive stay and that our accommodations and breakfast exceeded your expectations. Regarding the housekeeping policy, it seems there may have been a misunderstanding. In our welcome letter, it is mentioned that guests can request housekeeping service or fresh linens, or pick them up at the front desk. We apologize if this was not communicated clearly. Thank you once again for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to The Best Western Acadia Park Inn in the future. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
Clean, quiet, comfortable hotel just outside of the park. After all the hustle and bustle of hiking, site seeing, and downtown visiting, it's a very nice place to rest in between adventures. The hotel staff, rooms, and services are fantastic. We will definitely stay here again.
Thank you Adam for taking the time to post this review for us. We do have a serene property and so pleased that you found it so. We are looking forward to your next stay! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
Newly renovated property in a convenient location close to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Lot's of restaurants and activities less than 5min away. Rooms are large and well maintained. Property is pretty with picnic tables and benches around to enjoy. Nice lobby and front desk staff. Pet friendly location.
We thank you for such a nice review. We do have several restaurants close by and we are pet and family friendly! It is always nice to hear how much people enjoy our serene surroundings and staff. Thank you! Please stay again! Acadia Jane
After reading reviews we were very disappointed in this hotel. The grounds are very nice, but the rooms need work and updating. The carpet was filthy in our room and there was a used tissue under the vanity in the bathroom when we arrived. The beds were terrible, very soft and well used. Be prepared to roll to the center. Water pressure was virtually non existent. The pressure was so low it was difficult to shower. Breakfast was okay, but underwhelming. Hotel breakfast is not great, but this was a little sub par. The location of the hotel is excellent, about a quarter mile from a lobster restaurant and a short drive to town. There is a laundry on the premises. 2 washers, 1 of which was out of order, and 2 dryers. The hotel is okay, but very overrated. No, I wouldn't stay here again.
I apologize for your unhappiness with your stay. Our carpets have recently been shampooed and twice since spring. We offer what Best Western requires of us for breakfast as a core Best Western and usually extra items at that. I do hope you will stay with us again and give us another chance to make you happy.

This was our second stay at this hotel. The first was in 2012. Clearly the hotel had been renovated and was even better than before! There was a fabulous pool which was great during a heat wave. It was clean and the pool deck was well-surfaced. Our room was quiet and spotlessly clean, and had plenty of towels and great water pressure. The Wi-Fi was a little slow, but that was a small issue. We were told we would be receiving a continental breakfast, but the breakfast was so much better than that – hot food such as eggs, sausage and oatmeal, waffles, toast, coffee and juice. It was well stocked and maintained. The dining area is a very nice size, with plenty of space to accommodate all guests and very clean. The hotel is in a very quiet location and we slept very well in the comfortable bed. The customer service was wonderful, even though they were shortstaffed and there was no daily housekeeping – we felt very well cared for! I would stay there again on a future visit to the area.
Thank you, Rosie, for such an awesome review of your stay. We are delighted that you have stayed before but found this visit much better than the first. We do take pride in the cleanliness of our rooms and genuinely love our hotel guests and happy that it shows. We hope to see you a third time, perhaps this fall for the beautiful foliage? Best wishes, Acadia Jane
Did lots of research, hotel was decent for the price and area. If you need accessible rooms, call ahead to confirm even if you have it reserved. Also of note- front desk closes before 9pm every night
Dear nic8205, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a positive review. We are glad that you had an overall good stay. We also appreciate you mentioning what an excellent value we offer to our guests. Thank you once again for choosing to stay at The Best Western Acadia Park, and we hope to have you as our guest again soon. Sincerely, Acadia Jane, General Manager
Very nice motel. Rooms were spacious and clean. Breakfast service was good with lots of variety. The heated pool was fantastic. The laundry room was very nice. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location to the national park was very close which was great. The only negative issue was that our room had an unpleasant smell which could not be identified. But it was not to the degree that hampered our experience.
Dear kyaussie, Thank you for being our guest and for sharing your experience with other travelers. We are pleased you had an overall good experience and that our accommodations, service, and amenities exceeded your expectations. You are right, our location has its benefits of being close to the Acadia National Park and yet has a serene and peaceful setting so our guests can enjoy a quiet stay. It was a pleasure to host you and we hope to see you again soon at The Best Western Acadia Park Inn. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
We were delighted with our stay here. It's close to the park--but far enough away from the crowds. It sits back off the road a bit so there is no road noise. The rooms were spacious with plenty of space to store our gear, snacks and essentials. Each room had a fridge which is a must for us traveling. The staff even froze our ice packs for us each night. Breakfast was good and the breakfast area was spotless. Everything is kept clean and fresh. The staff was wonderful.
Dear Destination770000, It brightens our day to know that your stay was nothing short of exceptional! Thank you for your generous comments and for highlighting our awesome location. Although we are in close proximity to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, we are tucked away from the noise and crowds, allowing our guests to enjoy both the town's attractions and a restful stay at the same time. It was a pleasure to read that you not only enjoyed our ideal location but also our accommodations and service. We look forward to welcoming you back to The Best Western Acadia Park Inn soon. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
This is the cleanest, best run best western hotel we've stayed at in our 2 weeks of traveling. Perfect location with friendly staff, large rooms, and all the accouterments one could hope for. The staff were warm and friendly, and most helpful, the breakfast area was well stocked, well run, and very clean and inviting. Just a few mile ride to Bar Harbor, or Acadia National Park. Perfect location, perfect room and a great breakfast experience.
Dear Mike P, It is wonderful to hear about your recent stay at The Best Western Acadia Park. We are delighted that our friendly staff, fantastic location, and comfortable accommodations contributed to your memorable experience. Thank you for also highlighting your excellent breakfast experience. Thank you once again, and we look forward to your next visit. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
The hotel is a little way out of town but very near the entrance to the Acadia National Park. You will need a car to get in Bar Harbor As with all of this chain the room was very large, 2 large comfy beds and all the usual facilities, with parking right outside your room. Breakfast on our first day was great, scrambled eggs, sausage and cook your own waffles, however, on the second day there were several items unavailable - like butter - which made it a slightly different experience. Kitchen staff seemed unable to cope with the volumn of guests.
We thank you very much for your stay and this review. We were missing a few items on breakfast, unfortunately however upon our next morning delivery we were set up again. I do apologize for the inconvenience. We did have a worker out due to a car accident and only one on that day. Normally our breakfast has two workers. We are happy you found your beds to be comfortable and enjoyed parking right outside of your door. Please stay again! Acadia Jane, GM
We would stay here again. The room was large and clean (we booked the king with 2 singles in a separate area/room). Beds were comfortable. Bathroom was clean. We asked for more blankets and they were delivered to our room as requested. It's just a few miles from the center of town. Breakfast was as expected, however it was disheartening to see quite a few people not clean up after themselves, but that's not the motel's fault. Outside entrances, normal for Best Westerns. Plenty of free parking.
We are very happy to hear that you would stay with us again! This family room is very popular with our guests travelling as couples or couples with children We look forward to seeing you again! Warm regards, Acadia Jane, GM
Special shot out to Mary and Peggy Sue. Mary and Peggy Sue were fantastic! They were so nice and helpful to make my trip to Maine great. They gave me lots of hints of where to go and places to eat. Those ladies and all staff were very friendly Very nice accommodations, clean and comfortable!
Dear Susan R, We are delighted you had an excellent experience at The Best Western Acadia Park Inn. It is great to know that our staff went out of their way to make your stay more enjoyable. We will ensure that your kind feedback is passed onto Mary and Peggy Sue. Thank you for being our guest, and we hope to see you again soon. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
This is a clean, older hotel that is kept up immaculately! The breakfast was good with bacon, eggs and the usual continental items. Close enough to Bat Harbor and Acadia National Park. We stayed two nights so we could see the Park and shop in Bar Harbor.
Dear huntnfishn5280, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a great review. We are happy to know that you thoroughly enjoyed your stay and that our property and location met your expectations. Our complimentary breakfast buffet is always a big hit with our guests and we are glad you were able to enjoy it. Thank you for sharing your experience at The Best Western Acadia Park Inn and it would be our pleasure to have you as our guest again. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
This hotel is not far from Acadia National Park. It is very quiet here and our room was nice. Our mattress was very soft, though, too soft. Deshawn, who worked the front desk, was very friendly and informative. He knew the area well and was most helpful. The breakfast area was large and offered a nice breakfast. The homemade yogurt was delicious!
Thank you very much for your review and for your choosing to stay with us when there are so many lodging choices in our area. Some of our beds are pillow tops and a little softer. Thank you for complimenting Vashawn on our front desk. Our yogurt parfait machine is a nice change from container yogurts and we are happy you enjoyed it. We hope you will stay with us again when in the area. Warm regards, Acadia Jane , GM
We spent 3 nights here during a New England car trip. The location was great. It is close to Acadia NP, lots of places to eat and close to downtown Bar Harbor. The front desk staff was friendly and very helpful. The rooms were fine, what I expect from a Best Western. They aren't elaborate but functional and clean. There was no housekeeping service. You could request trash pickup and more towels. To be honest, for the price paid I expect daily service without having to ask for it. The breakfast staff was rude and did a poor job keeping the food line stocked and clean. When asked to restock an item, we were grunted at. 10 minutes later when we asked again we were told there weren't anymore with no explanation or apology for the inconvenience. We would stay here again because of the location and helpful front desk.
Thank you for your stay and this review. Allow me to apologize for someone bringing their personal issues to work with them. That is not how my staff rolls. I have spoken to the person concerning his behavior and I usually receive great kudos concerning how wonderful my staff is. Please do not allow this to represent us. Thank you for saying you would stay with us again. He chose a bad attitude that day and I assure you it will not happen again. I appreciate your feedback. Warm regards, Acadia Jane. GM
Overall great experience. Clean and comfortable room, a friendly and helpful staff, very good continental breakfast included. Beautiful well maintained grounds, away from touristy downtown but very close to Acadia entrance and local dining (Mainely Meat BBQ a must try). Pricey but relatively reasonable in comparison to other options.
Thank you for being our guest and for sharing your experience with other travelers. We are glad that you had a comfortable stay with us and that you were able to enjoy our lovely grounds and complimentary breakfast. Our entire team at The Best Western Acadia Park Inn joins me in thanking you for having shared such a positive and generous review about your stay with us. We look forward to your next visit! Mainly Meat is a great choice and is close by! Warm regards, Acadia Jane, GM
Front desk very helpful. Peggy Sue made sure our 2 reservations were linked. She recommended a great restaurant. Beautiful grounds and breakfast was excellent. The front desk personnel were very polite and helpful with directions. I would recommend this motel to friends.
We thank you very much for your recommendation to other potential guests. Peggy Sue is a super-star here and we appreciate your acknowledging her. We take great pride in our cleanliness and grounds. We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to see you again soon! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
This is different from most hotels. Instead of 1 building, there are multiple buildings with a few rooms in each. Place is old and could use some updating. Price was very high for the quality of the hotel (about $400 per night). I understand it is about location but quality counts, too. Breakfast in in a separate building which is good for the amount of room. However, on the morning we were there, breakfast was lackluster at best. Several items were running low. I understand that items have to be replenished often, so timing matters. However, I saw 2 men in the kitchen talking rather than refilling food for guests. I did appreciate that this place had a handicap accessible bathroom. It may be close to Acadia, but it still takes several minutes to drive there.
Thank you for giving us feedback and for your stay. We are 2 miles from the main entrance to Acadia National Park and 4 1/2 miles to downtown Bar Harbor waterfront. I apologize for what you refer to as a the lackluster breakfast. It seems like they no longer get everything filled up and Boom! It is gone. We do have several buildings surrounding the lobby building with 14 to 28 rooms in each. We have completed our Best Western property improvement plan four years ago, so being open only 6 months a year, all is about 2 years old. We are happy you found the handi-cap accessible bathrooms to be helpful. We do hope you will give us another try when you come back another time. Warm regards, Acadia Jane, GM
A wonderful property in an idyllic location with friendly and helpful staff! The entire property is very clean and well looked-after and the room was well-appointed, modern and comfortable. We'd definitely recommend this property when you're visiting Bar Harbor!
! We certainly believe we are in an idyllic location as well! Thank you so much for such a terrific review. “Outstanding” is a great compliment and we appreciate your choosing to stay with us when there are so many lodging choices in the Bar Harbor area. Your recommendation is very much appreciated. Please visit us again soon! Thank you. Acadia Jane, GM.
Our stay here was very nice. Staff was helpful with suggesting places to eat and visit. The room was nice and clean, and the breakfast was good. It's in a good location and affordable. Will stay here again the next time we visit.
We are happy that you found our rooms clean and breakfast good. Our location is just enough away from downtown to be serene at the end of an active day! We are pleased you will return when coming back to Bar Harbor! Thank you very much! Acadia Jane, GM
There are many spectacular Inns in Bar Harbor. Each is unique with the closeness to the city. The Best Western Acadia Park Inn is, to me, the best value for the money and a perfect place to relax, with all the comforts of home, in a peaceful, and unhurried atmosphere. Our room was fully updated with a luxurious and most comfortable bed and a new walk-in shower tub combination. The room was spotless, everything worked and the water was hot. We were able to park directly outside of our room and getting in and out was simple. The breakfast, included, was as good as any of the local breakfast offerings locally. This Best Western property was among the best that we stayed on our trip to Maine.
My husband and I had a wonderful experience at this Best Western! Our air bnb lost power due to the hurricane and Peggy Sue at the Best Western truly saved the day. She was able to get us a room at the Best Western very last minute and she was so accommodating and kind. She turned an unfortunate situation right around for us and made our day! Our room was spacious and clean. We loved that we had easy access to our vehicle from right outside our room. We would definitely recommend this hotel to others traveling in the area. Ask for Peggy Sue—she is truly the best!!
Resembles an old motor lodge but well maintained. Park in front of your room for easy loading. The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious and clean. The bathroom appeared fairly new and updated. One of the best showers I have had away from home. Great water pressure. The breakfast room had a wide selection of food and was an absolute treat. A short drive to Acadia Park, it was away from the chaos of town. Considering the prices of the area, I would look at this as an excellent alternative. A great bbq restaurant and ice cream stand are 1/4 of mile down the road.
We are delighted to know that you found us to be "surprisingly good" ! We love our serene setting and the closeness of some very good food choices and activities. We were updated just a couple of years ago for our Best Western property improvement plan. We look forward to having you visit with us again soon! Thank you for your stay and this lovely review! Warm regards, Acadia Jane, GM.
I enjoyed the quiet location away from downtown with the hustle and bustle. Our room was at the back and very quiet. The grounds were well maintained and the flowers and landscaping lovely. Breakfast are was well laid out not too much crowding. There was ample food both mornings. The dining area was spacious.
Dear Jo Ann S, Thank you for such a lovely review. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us. We love our serene setting and by the sounds, so did you! We are especially happy you found breakfast to have ample food and to be spacious. Please stay with us again when you are in the Bar Harbor area! Warm regards, Acadia Jane, GM
Four months ago I booked a 4 night stay in Acadia/Bar Harbor for a king room. I supposedly got a multi-night discount as a Best Western club member. Ha! We just checked in and we were placed in a distant building in a room on the outer side that makes for a very long walk for access to the laundry and fresh coffee. (We will have to drive as it's too far to carry our laundry). When I talked to the front desk manager noting that we are here for 4 nights which makes this location all the more cumbersome (one night would be do-able but 4 nights at such a distant makes for a huge hassle, esp as they don't have housekeeping services due to a labor shortage so we will have to go to the main building daily for fresh towels, etc.), The front desk manager said it is actually harder to get a room closer to the main building for a 4 night stay. (Yea, I know, there is no logic to that). She added there are no more King rooms available. But when I went online, I found a King room available for tonight, the same day we checked in AND it is $30 less than I'm paying as a Best Western member with a multi-night discount! We have had such enjoyable stays on our trip in coastal Maine at a combination of VRBOs and boutique hotels. This is the first time on our trip I have felt mistreated or lied to. No more Best Western for us.
I apologize that you feel ripped off and lied to. We did not have a room available for the number of days you were staying or we would have moved you. A one night stay would have been the outcome and then a room move on your part the next day if indeed, a room had been available. We have what they call dynamic rates which do change in our system depending on the number of rooms available for rental. You booked and agreed to a particular rate for a minimum length of stay. That is generally a great idea. Once in a while our system will lower the daily rate a little or raise it a little. It is similar to an airline rate. Once you agree to a rate, and you have not cancelled within our 72 hours cancellation period you have that rate. We ask that you not judge all Best Western's by one incident where you felt you could not be close enough to use the laundry and eat free breakfast. There is housekeeping service on the third day and we always are able to collect your dirty linens and bring you new ones. We would not lie or disrespect a guest. Thank you for your stay and review. I hope this shine s a better light on us and Best Western. Warm regards, Acadia Jane, General Manager
Wow! It may look like a quaint roadside inn from the outside, but it is anything but that on the inside! The lobby was inviting and relaxing after our long drive. Peggy Sue, who checked us in was very sweet and welcoming. We decided at check in that we wanted to book a second night's stay, and Peggy Sue arranged it so we would be able to stay in the same room both nights. We found our room to be very clean, comfortable, and well appointed. I honestly slept better than I usually do in my own bed! The breakfast area had ample seating and was very clean and well organized. There were many choices of breakfast items- more than I've ever seen! Mary, who checked us out was very personable and a great help showing us route options for the remainder of our road trip. We also had the pleasure of meeting the lovely manager, Jane, who obviously enjoys what she does and takes great care in ensuring her guests enjoy the best experience possible during their stay. We were thoroughly impressed! We will highly recommend Best Western Acadia Park Inn to anyone who's looking for accommodations in the Bar Harbor area!
The hotel was, for us, in the perfect location. Easy access, right next to a very tasty Lobster Pound and priced reasonably. Vashawn in the office was friendly, helpful and courteous. He deserves kudos for making our short stay pleasant.
Dear JEFFERY S, Thank you for the glowing review of The Best Western Acadia Park Inn! From our great location in the heart of Bar Harbor to our warm and welcoming team members like Vashawn - we are thrilled to know you enjoyed your time with us. Your compliments will be shared with with him as a motivation to continue providing great hospitality to all our guests. We would love to host your next visit when you plan another trip to the city. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
Convient to local attractions and area. Quite but pleasant surroundings. Staff was super friendly and answered all of our questions. Ample parking and access. Very clean and well maintained property and room. Good place to stay, away from overcrowding,
We thank you for your stay and for taking the time to post this great review. We are very happy that you found our hotel and staff much to your satisfaction and we ask you to please stay with us again when you are in the Bar Harbor area. Warm regards, Acadia Jane, GM
Clean nice room. Pet friendly Nice surroundings - landscaping and picnic tables Quiet area Checked in after hours and process was easy Breakfast was surprisingly good. I have low expectations sometimes for free hotel breakfast and was pleasantly surprised.
We are delighted that you were pleasantly surprised with your stay. We are also pleased that you enjoyed the free breakfast and our serene setting. We are close enough to the "hustle and bustle of downtown ;, but far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet. We look forward to your next visit! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane, GM
The location of this motel was wonderful as it is just a short distance from Acadia. To avoid crowds, we would get up early, tour until mid afternoon, rest at the motel and go back to the park towards dinner time. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was average and they had a hard time restocking the food during more peak times. We did inquire about both the fire pit and the popcorn machine but we were told due to a staff shortage, they were not offering either one. (not a deal breaker for us but since we read about the fire pit on the website, we were looking forward to it). It was a pretty property and found it convenient for all things while visiting the area. Bottom line, we would stay there again.
Dear corkyc988, It brightens our day to know your stay was nothing short of exceptional! Thank you for your generous comments about our property and for highlighting our awesome location. We also appreciate your patience during our peak breakfast times. We look forward to welcoming you back to The Best Western Acadia Park Inn soon. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
This hotel is truly a hidden gem in the Bar Harbor area. It was reasonably priced (for the middle of the summer), clean, and perfect for what we needed. The staff was helpful and friendly. The back area had a spot for our dog to go potty and a separate area for us to hang out by the fire. It's not too far from the downtown shopping area and right next to the entrance of Acadia. I will recommend this hotel to anyone I know going to this area! I was so pleased with our stay.
Dear Kaitlyn, We sure do appreciate your recommendation to others! We are very pleased that we were able to fulfill your desires and you found us perfect for your needs. We look forward to your return. Warm regards, Acadia Jane, GM
I loved this charming hotel. All rooms were on the ground floor they had 5 buildings. You could walk right out of your door and your car was right there. This was great because we traveled with a person who had some mobility issues. They had a community meeting space outside around a fire ring that was unfortunately not working when we were there. They had a laundry room. They had a separate building for breakfast that was really good. The landscaping was beautiful with flowers everywhere. I would definitely stay here again.
Dear lmorgan138, Thank you for your recent stay at the The Best Western Acadia Park Inn. It's a pleasure knowing that we were able to accommodate all of your needs while you were here. We also appreciate your positive comments about our property and breakfast. It will be our pleasure to host you again when you are back in the area. Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
Have been to this property a number of times. Prices up substantially. Could hear tv from next room but can't blame hotel for that but no longer had welcoming cookies and pop corn. Trivial but a bad sign. Breakfast room was a joke with children out of control and parents doing nothing. Keep children away from waffle machine for their safety and guests being able to start their day in peace. Selection of hot foods was minimal and cold. No fruit. Only white toast. An answer that they ran out of foods is not what you expect to here and if it is, then reimburse me.
Sear Lenny I apologize for the lack of cookies when you arrived. They are baked fresh every day as always. Thepopcorn maker does not work and I am having a hard time finding a replacement for it. There is a sign at the waffle machine asking anyone under 12 years old to NOT make waffles. Some parents just let their children run wild without regard for others. I apologize. We try to keep children under control the best we can but it really is the parents' job. There is always fruit. The bowl may become empty before it can be refilled. Please just speak to the staff running the breakfast and they will give you what you need. We have breakfast for up to 400 people daily and it is difficult to keep up with everything. I apologize. I sincerely hope you give us another stay as we appreciate our loyal guests. Regards, Acadia Jane
I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. I was a bit leary with the motel looking layout but overall- it was more like a hotel. Rooms were quiet. Beds were comfortable. Outdoor pool was nice with good size pool towels available. Rooms were clean. We did not utilize housekeeping at all- we were able to leave towels and garbage outside the room during the day to be picked up. Able to pick up fresh towels at the front desk. continental breakfast was decent with warm and cold options. I would definitely consider staying here again . Only downfall was that it was a few miles outside of Bar Harbor so we had to drive into town for meals.
Dear wmowens, Thank you for being our guest and for sharing your experience with other travelers. We are glad that you had a comfortable stay with us and that you were able to enjoy our outdoor pool and complimentary breakfast. Our entire team at The Best Western Acadia Park Inn joins me in thanking you for having shared such a positive and generous review about your stay with us. We look forward to your next visit! Sincerely, Acadia Jane General Manager
The room had a dampness throughout it that was just weird. Plus we found two bugs on the floor. Kind of icky. Didn't realize you had to ask for cleaning services. The breakfast was good I thought and the staff was fine. Just the room was dark, dank, and the carpet was kind of wet. Our suitcases, when we lifted them off the floor were moist. Also, i think it was maybe overpriced for what it is — a motel with views of your car in front of you in the parking lot. But even that I would be okay with if it were just cleaner, dryer, and brighter.
Thank you for your feedback. I apologize to you on behalf of our entire team. We will use your feedback for further improvements. We Hope you will stay with us again and give us a chance to serve you better.
This was a great surprise just outside of Bar Harbor. Along Route 3 but you can't hear the road AT ALL. I had a King bed. Really good size room to spread out. Big bathroom. And a shower that isn't slippery such that I felt safe standing in it. And the room was exceptionally clean. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.
Dear Penny K, Thank you for the excellent feedback on your stay with us at Best Western Acadia Park Inn and for highlighting our quiet location. We appreciate you pointing out how pristine and spacious you found your accommodations to be. It was our pleasure hosting you, and we look forward to your next stay with us. Sincerely, Jane Koehling General Manager
Best Western Acadia Inn was a wonderful place to stay! It was a very clean hotel, the bed was quite restful and shower each morning was awesome! The breakfast room was very organised but space is a little tight around the foods & beverages if too busy. The best part of our stay was Peggy Suè at the front desk. She is so great at her job & the hotel is very lucky to have her as an employee. We went on a day trip per her recommendation & had a great time! Thank you Peggy Sue! From the McCombs in Petersburgh, NY.
Dear Duane M, At Best Western Acadia Park Inn we are committed to providing our guests with outstanding service and hospitality, so we are delighted to know that this was your experience. We are so happy you had a wonderful time, and are certain Peggy Sue will be over the moon to hear she created a memorable experience for you. On behalf of our entire team, I would love to welcome you back for another perfect stay. Sincerely, Jane Koehling General Manager
From the moment I called the hotel for reservations, it was perfect. They were friendly beyond words. Everything was Perfect. The pool was great. The breakfast had plenty of great choices. Everything was easy to get to and the entire staff was Perfect.
Dear pearl5259, We appreciate your kind words and compliments regarding your stay at Best Western Acadia Park Inn. We strive to provide everything that will make our guests' visit a wonderful experience, so your gracious comments mean a lot to us. It will be our pleasure to host your next stay when you are back in the area. Sincerely, Jane Koehling General Manager
This run down establishment is grossly overpriced, even for Bar Harbor in season. I have stayed at 4 and 5 star hotels that cost less and provide more. Expected more from Best Western. I do realize that this is season in Bar Harbor and would pay more, that is why I accepted the booking, but did not expect the condition of the motel. The staff seemed to run through the routine without any great enthusiasm.
Dear Robert S, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are disappointed to know you did not enjoy your stay and apologize for not meeting your expectations. As you can see from previous reviews, we do get great feedback from our guests on our property and service, so we are sorry you did not have that experience. We appreciate your business and would welcome an opportunity to restore a favorable impression the next time you are in our area. Sincerely, Jane Koehling General Manager
This Best Western is perfect. The room was spotless, beds were very comfortable and the staff was beyond perfect Peggy Sue at front desk was wonderful. We had a little trouble with the TV and she sent someone to show us how the remote control worked. Very close to Arcadia Park and a fun miniature golf. Would look forward to staying there again
Dear Dottie V, Thank your for the lovely feedback about your stay with us at The Best Western Acadia Park Inn. It was a pleasure to read your positive comments about our rooms and location and that you were especially impressed with the service you received. We are blessed to have Peggy on our team and are happy you were able to experience her excellent service and expertise. Thank you for making us a part of your travel plans to Bar Harbor; we hope to welcome you back again soon. Sincerely, Jane Koehling General Manager
Check in was pleasant. Just be aware that the front desk closes at 9 p.m. However, they will leave your keys in a drop box. Our room smelled from the dampness. They were very ki d in offering us another room. Breakfast was very good and Jill was friendly and shared information on Bar Harbor all while dutifully cleaning and restocking the breakfast area. Nice property with pool and sitting areas throughout. Located between town and Acadia park. We'll kept and sizeable rooms. Very clean rooms, which was very important to me.
Dear Kimmyk We thank you very much for taking the time to post this wonderful review! Unfortunately we have had our share of dampness in Maine this spring and now into July. It was my pleasure to assist you with another room that was much more to your liking. Thank you for mentioning Jill in breakfast and also for the compliments on our housekeeping staff's skills. Very clean is important to us as well. Please stay with us again when you are in the Bar Harbor area. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Great stay , hotel is clean and quiet, no weird smells. Good breakfast with many varieties . Only complaint I have is not having enough soap, shampoo and conditioner. There is no TV lines to watch during the stay. It is kind of acceptable as we are there to be in nature.
Thank you very much for such a great review! I am not sure what you mean by "TV lines" as your TV should have worked. The extra amenities are available via a phone call to the front desk or from any housekeeper. Apologies for that inconvenience. We do hope you will visit with us again in 2023! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Our stay of 5 days in Best Western Acadia Park Inn was excellent. From the time we checked in with the Evening Front Desk Manager, Peggy Sue Thoner, until check out we had excellent service and assistance when needed. Whenever I had questions or needed something Peggy was able to assist us. Thank you for making our first visit to Maine a great experience. Our room was very clean, well maintained, with staff fulfilling our needs when requesting fresh linens, and Maintenace helping me when the washing machine would not wash my clothes. Thank you to all staff for assistance.
First, let me say thank you for the wonderful compliments you have bestowed upon our staff! Peggy Sue is a true gem ,and we are blessed to have her on the front desk representing the Acadia Park Inn. Our housekeeping staff takes such great pride in their work and thank you for acknowledging them and maintenance as well. We hope you will be able to visit us again in 2023. We sincerely appreciate your choosing to stay with us when there are so many lodging options in the area. We are just close enough but far enough away from downtown and the hustle and bustle. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
We thoroughly enjoyed everything about this hotel. Staff was excellent. Very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was a good start and tasty. The rooms are clean, beds comfortable and nicely decorated. Tks
We all give you a big thank you! We are very happy that you enjoyed your entire stay with us and we look forward to seeing you again in 2023 if possible! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Bar Harbor can be very crowded during the fall leaf-peeping season. Consider staying at the Best Western to avoid the crowds. There is plentiful parking and it is an easy drive into local restaurants.
Thank you very much Cree. Although you marked us very low on everything ,I believe you meant to make us high. We loved having you and your group here and look forward to 2025 when you plan to come back for a photography class. Best wishes, Acadia Jane
The hotel is very close to Acadia NP. Very clean and well maintained. Good breakfast. Only stayed for a night. So didn't explore other amenities. Front desk staff was very helpful and check in process was fast. Rooms are spacious and neat.
What a great time to visit the area. Thank you for choosing to stay with us and we are delighted to hear how much you enjoyed it! Please stay with us again when you are in the Bar Harbor region. Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
Enjoyed our stay. Located near Acadia N.P. entrance and a short drive to Bar Harbor. Our room was clean and beds comfortable. Breakfast was above our expectations. We used the laundry facility and wi-fi without problems. We would stay here again.
We are always delighted to hear a guest would stay with us again! We thank you for your stay and we look forward to your next visit with us. Best wishes, Acadia Jane
Lovely clean hotel & staff are fantastic. We had one night here as part of our tour. I wish all the hotels on our tour were like this one. Staff waved the bus off with Thank You banners. Lovely touch. Beds are out of this world too! Breakfast was included & it was very good
Thank you! This is the first bus review we have had in my 12 years as GM here at this hotel, I cannot tell you how much that means to us. We love to see our buses drive in and we know our guests are tired after being on the go all day long. We enjoy speaking with them all as best we can and absolutely do thank you all for your stay. I thank you on behalf of the entire staff for taking the time to leave this review for us. We sure hope you will come back again, in a tour group on or your own! Warmest regards, Acadia Jane
A group of us at the hotel had hoped to get together around one of the fire pits for a visit, the night before a memorial for a dear friend and family member. The fire pits were not available, and the evening was COLD, and Peggy Sue let us come into the lobby. We so appreciated that. Hotel is great, too!
Thank you very much! We are very happy that you were able to gather together after all. Peggy is a true gem for sure! Please come and stay again under better circumstances. Acadia Jane
Best hotel stay in a very long time. The rooms are extremely clean and the beds are very comfortable. The property is well maintained. Peggy Sue at the desk was extremely helpful and accommodating. While we couldn't use the fire pits, we were able to use the lobby for our family to enjoy time together. I would stay here again and would suggest to others!
Thank you! We sure do appreciate the recommendation to others. I am very pleased that Peggy Sue was able to to find a location to spend with your family. We look forward to another visit from you! Acadia Jane
The Best Western Acadia Park inn was perfect for our needs. It was a short drive to all parts of Mt Desert Island (Bar Harbor, Southwest and Northeast harbor. The staff were helpful with any questions(eg: where to star gaze). The rooms were clean, the breakfast choices were perfect. We would recommend to others and we would stay here again.
We are delighted that you would stay with us again when you return to the Bar Harbor area. It certainly is fun to stargaze and we really take it for granted here I guess. We are happy you enjoyed the breakfast and our clean rooms. WEe look forward to your return! Acadia Jane
Rolled in today with 7 family members. Peggy Sue greeted us like she knew who we were. We had some splitting room costs and other hotels made it a nightmare, she knew what to do and did it with no time! I was impressed with the bright and clean lobby. They have a little gift store with vending items. While signing in, we had coffee and ginger cookies provided. Got some recommendations and headed into Bar Harbor. We are leaving early before the breakfast will be served as we are going to Arcadia so Peggy sue and Odette put together a take with us breakfast/snack bag. Outstanding! Our room is exactly what we reserved. The pool is heated to 82. We did a load of laundry cheaper than it costs back home! I would recommend this hotel and would stay here again.
Thank you very much for staying with us and so glad the family could get together like this. Peggy Sue and Odette are a team to beat! Your recommendation to others means a great deal to us. We do hope you will come again . Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Stayed due to flight cancellation. The GM and lady at the desk went WAY above and beyond to see that I was taken care of. The GM picked up my dinner from a close restaurant and returned to bring it to me after she got off because there were no avail cabs. Outstanding! The wonderful lady behind the desk asked about my breakfast plans and offered a “grab and go” breakfast because I was leaving before they opened. I hadn't even thought about that. Truly fantastic customer care and concern my my well being.
Thank you Mr. Clark for this wonderful review! It was such a nasty rainy day when you arrived and I was not going to let you walk to any restaurant. It was my pleasure to pick your dinner up for you. I am glad you were able to get the "grab and go" breakfast as well. Like I told you, we don't like anyone to go hungry! Perhaps you will come back and stay a day or two in the future. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Room had several plumbing issues, received a note from management when checking in that they would not clean rooms on a daily basis, air conditioner filter appeared that it was never cleaned, bathroom exhaust fan filter full of dust (i cleaned it myself), entry door threshold damaged (found 7 + daddy long leg spiders in room), many guests with pets in adjoining rooms (requested a non pet friendly room), breakfast buffet area very unsanitary and poorly prepared uncooked meat products were served on several occasions, we stayed one week and after returning home are still sick with flu like symptoms........avoid this property!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for your review. I must however, contradict your claims. I have some of the best housekeepers here at this hotel and rooms are inspected prior to check in every time. Our breakfast room is clean and sanitary. We serve between 300 and 400 guests per day. We do have pet rooms mixed in with non-pet friendly rooms but they are not inside those rooms. The bacon is cooked to the degree that most people prefer. If you like extra crispy you could have asked the staff to sook a plate full longer just for you. I am trusting that you also ate many other meals, including seafood perhaps deep fried while on your week long vacation. I find it a little unjust to claim it was from our breakfast. We are situated in the Maine woods and the daddy long legs do get around closer to the trees but rarely do we have a complaint concerning them. The housekeepers do keep the doors open while cleaning to air it out from previous guests. As far as the plumbing goes, we did have a situation with one building here having clogged pipes. A professional was called in and it was taken care of in no time. I believe that others who read our reviews will understand we cant please everyone even though we try our best. I apologize for your unhappiness with your stay. Perhaps one in the busier parts of Bar Harbor would suit you better another time. Less nature is good for some people. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
King room was very clean, comfortable bed and parking in front of room. Received friendly greeting and was provided map and information re the park and restaurants that was very helpful. Breakfast was very good with large selection of eggs, bacon, oatmeal, cereal, etc.
Thank you so very much for your stay and for your review. We are delighted that you enjoyed yourself and our friendly staff. Our breakfast is one we are very proud of and we thank you for mentioning some of the items on it. We do hope you will return for another visit soon. Best wishes, Acadia Jane
We read the great reviews of the BW Acadia Park Inn and decided to spend our last three nights in Maine here, and I'm glad we stayed. Its a very nice, well taken care of property, and our room was clean and roomy! We had a king bed room in close proximity to the laundry, the pool, and the breakfast area. I do agree with the previous reviews that the breakfast is delicious and offers quite a large selection for a continental breakfast (eggs, meat, oatmeal, waffle maker, yogurt, juices, coffee, sweets). We got there between 8-830 every day and I think that would be the latest you'd want to get there to make sure they still have eggs and meat. If I had one complaint it would be that the laundry area has only two washers and two dryers, so it can get pretty congested and you have to be on your game to get yours in. There is a great BBQ and ice cream place just down the street and a couple great lobster places a little further down the street also.
Thank you! What a wonderful review. We are very happy that you read our reviews and decided to stay with us for three days! Breakfast can get congested but we try our best to keep the food coming. We did add outside seating for good days. It seats 69 people inside. That entire building was made just for our guests to enjoy a free breakfast. The laundry gets busy especially on rainy days but most days it remains empty. It is open 24 hours a day. We thank you for choosing to eat in the restaurants near us, too! We hope yo see you again in 2023! Thank you, best wishes, Acadia Jane
Just one glitch on the first morning of Breakfast without enough food but after speaking to Office Staff, it was resolved for the next 5 mornings...Staff was Great! Cleaning ladies were Exceptional!!! I'd hire all of them in a flash if i ran a hotel or motel...my kind of proud workers!!!!
Thank you very much Greg! We did have a staffing issue the first morning but after explaining to the breakfast staff, they were more "giving." Thank you so much! It was a pure pleasure speaking to your wife and I am sorry I did not get to meet you in person. May God continue to bless you and your family. Best wishes, Acadia Jane
Peggy Sue refused to honor our reservation through Booking.com and check us in because of an unexpected additional pet service charge. She made up false statements in the process to force us to sign the additional charges or go somewhere else. Local PD was called and intervened with no avail. We ended have to find another place to stay after 7 hours drive up to Acadia. Furthermore, Peggy Sue not only charged us the cancellation fee (for 1 night) but also continued to refuse Booking.com several requests to cancel the rest of the reservation (3 nights staying). We are not sure how a dishonest person with such retaliatory action arise to a management level, as she stated "I am second in charge." Later on, all charges have been resolved with the G.M. Jane.
I am very sorry Philip for what you experienced but in Peggy Sue's defense, it is our policy to have the guest sign a pet policy form and pay for any pet fees. She was just doing her job, I am sorry you felt the need, after getting refunded, to give us this horrid review. Booking.com does state there may be a pet fee and indeed there was. Calling the police for such a trivial matter was a bit ridiculous when they have much larger issues to deal with. It was resolved but you are a still holding on to it. Please let it go; you got your refund and of course she did not charge you for the entire stay. She had taken just the one night's fee as she does every reservation prior to check-in. I am glad you found other accommodations on the island and pretty certain you found a pet fee wherever you went. Regards, Acadia Jane
Great place to stay! Staff excellent and warm at all times. It is situated about 3 miles outside the busy Bar Harbor business area which I found to suit our family better! The grounds are beautiful with volleyball,cornhole,and bocce ball avail also. Great cookies in the afternoon and great breakfast in the morning.
We sure do appreciate this awesome review of your stay with us. Thank you very much. We hope you and the family enjoyed the games we have on site and we look forward to seeing you again in 2023! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Stayed for four nights while visiting Acadia. This was in a great location away from the chaos of downtown Bar Harbor. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was nice but try to get there before 8:30. After this time, it is mobbed and the staff can't keep up with replenishing.
Thank you very much for staying with us when there are so many lodging choices in the Bar Harbor area. We appreciate your scoring us as a perfect 5. Our breakfast is a very popular amenity and sometimes it is hard to keep up ,but we are the best around. We do hope to see you again to enjoy our clean rooms and pleasant staff. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Very Friendly and helpful front desk staff. Great distance to the park. Breakfast was more than satisfactory, but get there early, things run out. There's fresh cookies and coffee, hot chocolate in the lobby which is a nice touch.
We thank you Lisa for your stay with us and this great review. Our breakfast is a very popular amenity as you found out. We hope you will stay with us again soon! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
This is a delightful inn with all of the necessary amenities. Immaculate with a very responsive staff in every way. The entire atmosphere was so comfortable, from breakfast to the Adirondack chairs and fire pits and native flower landscaping, that we didn't want to leave.
We sure do love this review! Thank you very much. We hope you will visit us again . Perhaps later when the foliage some out in October? If not, next year! Please know how much we loved having you stay with us. Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
SO clean and inviting! Everyone sure looks like they like their jobs,and do them well.Room was immaculate,breakfast had many offerings.Close to Bar Harbor,but also far enough away to enjoy the quiet. Hughly recommend!!!
Thank you for your stay with us and this wonderful review! Your recommendation means a great deal to us! We hope to see you again soon. Please stay again a bit longer when you are in the Bar Harbor area!! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
We had a great staff at the Best Western Acadia Park Inn from July 23 to 27, 2022. We used the online check in option and our room was available when we arrived around 2:30 p.m. The room was very clean and spacious enough for the three of us (two adults and our 9 yo daughter). I was impressed with the amenities available on the property including free coffee/tea/hot chocolate in the lobby, a small gift shop and vending machine area, and a business centre area that allowed me to print my vehicle pass for ANP. The proximity to ANP is fantastic - about a five minute drive - allowing us to get an early start every day, and return to the hotel in late morning/early afternoon before setting out again. Proximity to Bar Harbor is also good. There are several restaurant options nearby if you don't want to travel into BH for a meal. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great - far beyond a basic continental breakfast - and provided us with lots of energy to use on the trails in ANP! I recommend this hotel and would stay again.
Thank you very much! We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us. Your recommendation means a lot to us! We try hard to please our guests with a hardy breakfast if they like or just cereal and fruit if they are going light. We look forward to your return visit! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
This hotel is smartly designed for both people and dogs. Great layout in the room and lovely spacious grounds, which are complete with sports areas, a nice pool and easy access to rooms from the car park. Everything was clean and fresh, and the staff was friendly. We didn't eat the breakfast, but we passed though the dining area and it looked good. This hotel has a great location, as it is near entrances to the national park, and close enough to Bar Harbor for easy access, but far enough away from the crowded downtown to feel restful.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write this lovely review for us. I believe I met you in the lobby one day and mentioned my 5 dogs to you! I am so happy that you enjoyed your stay and we sincerely hope you visit us again soon! We do have plenty of room to exercise both children, adults and dogs!! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Room was spacious and very clean! Dog friendly! Wide variety of complimentary breakfast options. Nice location close to Acadia. Open layout of the property so that you can drive up to your room to unpack the car which is awesome!
We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. Please stay again soon! Thank you. Acadia jane
Awesome location, clean facilities, fantastic breakfast. We stayed here in July to visit Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor the location was perfect for both. Be sure to eat at the Traveling Lobster, the best Lobster we had during our trip.
Love those photos! We are delighted that you chose to stay with us and we hope to see you here again another time! Thank you! Acadia Jane
Four family members, all adults, made our first visit to Bar Harbor. This hotel worked out great for us. Accomodations were very nice. Breakfast buffet was great. Location was just out of the main town which we actually liked. Staff was very nice. While it was expensive as Best Westerns go, it was a good value for Bar Harbor. Upon arrival it looks like a motel but don't worry. It doesn't feel like a motel.
We thank you very much for your lovely review and for your stay with us! It is nice to know we were your choice of lodging since you have never been to Bar Harbor before and we hope we will remain your choice on your next visit! May you have a great rest of 2022. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
We try to choose Best Western when we can because we are usually very happy with the accommodations , but this location was one of the best! I don't often make the time to do reviews, but I just have to mention how wonderful everyone was at this location! From the beginning, just after making the reservation a few months before, the manager Jane was so helpful and informative. Took so much time to help me with my plans! The same goes for Mary, who also took so much time to help, giving us directions and lots of brochures. I have to mention Peggy Sue as well! Last but not least, there was Erica! She made breakfast such a joy every morning! She is just such a friendly, beautiful person and I was so honored to meet her! This Best Western was a great location, central to everything we wanted to do, but all of the great people here really made it an extra special memory!
How wonderful a review! We all thank you very much for being such a great guest! Everyone mentioned is more then happy to help any of our guests and for me, a real pleasure recalling my times at Tarpon Springs with you over the telephone! I am happy that I could be help! We are very glad that you enjoyed your time spent here with us and we sincerely hope to see you next year! Your recommendation to other potential guests is much appreciated. Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
Peggy Sue greeted us with a very warm welcome insuring us that she would be glad to help in anyway we needed. Every aspect of the property was above our expectations great value, immaculate room, very comfortable bed with choice of pillows, tastefully decorated as well as a great location.I would highly recommend this property.
The hotel was clean, the bathroom was nice and large. Seems like has been updated fairly recently. My issue was with the price we paid for one night. We were on an trip touring the east coast. We stayed in a total of 8 different hotel. We stayed in much nicer hotels (suites) that cost half of what this BW cost. The mattress was extremely soft and uncomfortable for us.
Thank you for your stay and this review. Some of our mattresses are pillow tops and rather soft. Some love them and some prefer a firmer one. We also have those. We are in a resort area with Acadia National Park and our rates reflect the area. Thank you for mentioning the updated rooms. yes, we have recently completed our (PIP) property improvement plan with Best Western and have an Outstanding ranking. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Very large rooms, playground, pool, well kept property and a great staff. Very much enjoyed my stay and would stay here again. We stayed in one of the big rooms with the kid room that can be closed off. Very unique room.
We are happy you enjoyed the family room. It is ideal for kids who may want to watch a different TV show (or talk all night! ) lol Thank you for the great compliments on the staff and property. We hope to see you back here soon! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
Don't stay here. Not worth the price at all!!! We were given a room that stank of dogs and asked for another room but were told there were none but online there were rooms at over $100 less than what we were charged. The lady at the reception desk was very unkind and not helpful. Here name is Peggy Sue. If you want to be over charged and treated badly and stay in an old dingy smelly motel room than this is your place, otherwise stay at one of the numerous other places in the area.
Dear Janice , Peggy Sue is a remarkable young woman who has more wonderful guest comments then anyone else ever has in my 32 years on this island. I apologize for your unhappiness with your booking a pet room when you did not have a pet and then seeing our rate go down lower then what you booked on an on line booking site. ( Best to call the hotel when you can) If you had called us directly none of this would have happened . When business is slower tat times, the rate may go down, when busier, it may go up. It fluctuates. Our rooms do not stink of pets or of anything else. We have an outstanding housekeeping staff and they are very much Intune to have a sparkling clean and fresh smelling room, pet or no pets. You saw on line a room that opened up for one night late in the evening and you would have been without a room at all for the next nights stay. Peggy was not rude, just trying to communicate this to you but you were not receptive. We love our guests to be happy. I do apologize for your unhappiness with your stay. Regards, Acadia Jane
Stayed for 3 nights in mid June. The rooms were spacious enough for us, room and bathroom were clean. They had hot and continental breakfast. Location is also strategic - close enough to downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Front desk staff were awesome - extremely friendly and courteous. I can't say enough good things about the front desk staff.
We are delighted that you were able to spend three nights with us and that you enjoyed your stay. We do look forward to seeing you again when you are back in this Bar Harbor area. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
We booked well in advance and got a great rate. The hotel is clean and comfy. The free breakfast was busy, but the staff were working hard to keep it stocked and were very accommodating. It's a short drive into Bar Harbor center and there is ample street parking (meters that take credit card) when you are there.
This was one of my favourite stops on our trip! Clean, quiet and comfortable with great breakfasts - the staff were lovely, it's a good location for Bar Harbor and each of the sections of Acadia NP. Loved it.
This is one of the cleanest hotels we've ever stayed in. Great attention to detail, in every way. Clean room, comfortable beds, nice linens, friendly and helpful staff, quiet. The grounds are pretty too. Updated nicely, pleasant, practical, not stuffy, accommodated our needs needs.
I've been to the Best Western Acadia Park Inn several times and have always been thoroughly impressed with the level of accommodations, especially for the price. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the breakfasts are delicious! There is no better place to stay in Bar Harbor! Need to perform a shoutout to Peggy Sue though! On a recent stay, I TOTALLY forgot an expensive pair of headphones in the room before returning home. Not only did Peggy Sue manage to track them down, but had them shipped back to me! Talk about going above and beyond!
Thank you! What a lovely review and we are very grateful for your loyalty to The Best Western Acadia Park Inn! Peggy Sue loves to assist our guests with any issue and I am very happy she helped you! We look forward to your next stay with us. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
We were very pleased. The room was clean, and the breakfast was good....a full selection. The price was reasonable. Peggy Sue was on duty while we were there. She was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. We felt so welcomed by her!!! Thank you Peggy Sue! Great little gift shop with jellies that are made in Maine.
It is very nice to hear back from a guest how pleased they were to stay with us. Thank you very much. Peggy Sue is a treasure! We are happy you found our Maine made jelly! ! Best wishes and please stay again soon! Acadia Jane
One of the better Best Westerns we have stayed at. Very clean with friendly staff. Minutes from downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia. Has a little playground if traveling with kids. Would recommend this hotel to families. The included continental breakfast was also a plus!
We thank you for such a nice review and of course, for choosing to stay with us for your vacation! We hope to see you again! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
We arrived at BW here in Bar Harbour, after riding (motorcycles) in rain for 4 hours. Needless to say, we were cold, wet and tired out. The ladies here, Peggy Sue and Mary got us into our room quickly. Showed us where the laundry room was (as we needed the dryer) and made us fresh coffee, which warmed us up. This is a nice place here. Very clean, and quiet. Looking forward to coming back soon. Two thumbs up.
Thank you very much for choosing to stay with us when there are so many lodging choices in the Bar Harbor area. Peggy Sue and Mary are very special ladies running our front desk. I thank you for the great compliments bestowed on them! We look forward to your next stay and hopefully it will be during sunny weather. We sure love the "two thumbs -up". Warm regards, Acadia Jane
This was our second year staying at the best Western Acadia Park Inn and we really enjoyed staying here again. The rooms are very clean and very comfortable! The breakfast is also very good! Great location too. Close to everything but far enough away to have a little quiet time. A special shout out to Peggy Sue Thoner, the Evening Front Desk Manager for providing such great customer service!!!! Thank you!!
Thank you for staying with us again! Peggy Sue is sure to please and we thank you for acknowledging her. We do hope to see you again in the near future!! Thank you. Best wishes, Acadia Jane
We were greeted by Peggy Sue who was very friendly and accommodating. She made sure we had everything we needed. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast selection was excellent. We decided to extend our stay here for an additional night.
Thank you for this review and your wonderful comments concerning your stay, Peggy Sue, clean room and excellent breakfast. We are delighted that you chose to extend another night with us. We look forward to your returning! Warm wishes, Acadia jane
Room was clean and bed was very comfortable. And breakfast was amazing, offered a lot of hot and cold options, even had white chocolate raspberry scones. Great location too, very convenient to Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor. Great value for the price charged.
Dear Venture, Thank you very much for your stay and for this great review. We look forward to having you stay with us again! War regards, Acadia Jane
We stayed in October of 2021 for three nights. This is an old-style motor hotel, or Motel. PArk your car right up in front of your room. One story, a few buildings with rooms. Newly reroofed, remodeled, kept clean and nice enough, but I guess because all the prices in Maine were pretty high, the price seemed a bit out of touch with the level of the property. As I said, though, that may just be a local economy of scale. Breakfast was pretty good, not a whole lot of food, no personal cook, etc, making you omelettes, but... the lady who was in charge of keeping it stocked, running and clean was happy, friendly, and was on top of her game. She took her part seriously and did a fine job. Would I stay here again? Probably not, sorry, but only because the price was a bit high for the quality, and for maybe 50 to 75 more a night, I could get a better place. But overall, area was stunning, gorgeous, we loved it. Beautiful, hit when leaves were turning. Colors were beautiful.
We thank you for your stay and review. The area was a bit pricey this year but it was pricey everywhere in this area as you mentioned. We are in a quiet, serene setting not far from the Acadia National Park and downtown. Our Quality Assessment review with Best Western this year was Outstanding so we hope you will give us another look for 2022. Thank you very much, stay well and enjoy 2022. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Nice rooms, affordable compared to many other hotels we looked at in the area, and a great selection for breakfast. The only small complaint was they told us the pool was heated to 80 degrees but it was not warm when we tried to swim. Otherwise we had a great stay and would stay here again.
Thank you! I must apologize for the pool not reaching it's 82*. It is set to come on immediately if it drops below. We appreciate your feedback on that. We look forward to your return visit! Best wishes, Acadia jane
The Best Western Acadia Park Inn was a very good hotel. The room was clean and fit our needs. We were on the back side, away from the highway, and it was very quiet. The morning breakfast had selections of hot and cold food and was very good. A nice stay.
We are so happy that you had a very good stay with us and we hope to see you again when you are in the Bar Harbor area! Thank you! Acadia Jane
Room was clean, bed was comfortable. Bathroom was spacious, and I loved the clean tub and all the towel racks and hooks. Appreciated the table with two arm chairs. The HVAC filters and grill were slightly dirty, but the window could be opened so the air quality was good. We could hear the alarm clocks, and talking and laughing from our neighbors on either side of us when our TV was turned off. Desk staff was helpful and knowledgeable. Appreciated the individually wrapped cookies in the lobby. The popcorn machine was a nice touch, but I did not visit the lobby to try it at the times the popcorn was available. The orange juice, muffins and scones, and hot items for breakfast were especially good. They had excellent Covid precautions in place. This is a motel, with several buildings containing about 10 units each. Parking spaces are in front of each room, and the breakfast room is in a separate building. Pre-Covid, I would not have rated this motel over a 4, and would not dream of paying over $250 a night off- season, but these are unusual times and it is apparent that the operators of this Best Western are trying very hard to please their customers.
Thank you very much for this review. We appreciate your choosing to stay with us when there are so many lodging choices in the area. I believe October is as busy as August here in Bar Harbor. I am very happy that you enjoyed your stay and please stay again soon! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
The beds were really comfortable. We were in the suite - so there was a separate room with twin beds for our son. Very spacious room. Wifi was spotty in the room, especially when it rained. The breakfast was average, they had scrambled eggs, waffles to order, freshly baked muffins were a nice touch, oatmeal, slices of bread and bagels, bananas and cocktail fruit (that was not very nice). The hotel is well located, close to Arcadia park and downtown area restaurants and shops. They offer free parking on site.
Thank you very much for your stay and review. We hope you will visit us again in 2022. Best wishes, Acadia Jane
I chose this place as it was cheaper than other hotels in the area, however, knowing what I know now, I would have spent the money to stay in a better place. Checkin was done after 3 PM as stated but was told 5 PM was the time, so we tooled around to burn up 2 hours. After checking in, the room smelled...stale or some other funky smell. Not the COVID antiseptic I expected, but someone who had a bad body over. We made due. Stayed here for 3 nights. Maids never came in to clean, straighten, or anything. Rates for non-maid service were not lowered. Their breakfast was just nasty, as once we tried it once, that was enough. Went into town for 2 other breakfasts, which were light-years better. I would not recommend this place, nor would I come back.
Our check-in time is 4 p.m. I apologize for your dissatisfaction in our accommodations. We have not done housekeeping service since Covid unless a guest requests it and most would rather not have anyone in their room. We do deliver fresh linens upon request. Our rooms are sanitized after each check out and our breakfast has been a favorite amenity with our guests. Again, apologizes for your unhappiness. Regards, Acadia Jane
Enjoyed our four night stay at this clean and comfortable motel. The location was quiet and conveniently located to Acadia National Park and downtown Bar Harbor. Breakfast was good too. Easy parking. Recommend!
We are happy you spent four nights with us and would recommend us to other potential travelers! Thank you very much. We look forward to your next visit! Warm wishes ,Acadia Jane
The room was really large and bathroom was big enough to accommodate a walker. The room was very clean and staff was accommodating--so much so that we had to leave for health issues and they didn't charge us for the last night. Large building next to office had continental breakfast--everything from cereal, yogurt and fruit to toast, waffles, eggs, etc. If you are handicapped, try to get a room close to office and breakfast building or drive your car. However, that means you are out front near the roadway. The only criticism is there is no handicapped parking near the breakfast building. If you have bluetooth hearing aids with a transmitter, make sure you have a mini to mini digital output
Thank you for this great review and for your stay. Before we added the outside breakfast seating we did have handicap parking but it is still just fine to park the other side of the fence. We are so happy you enjoyed our vast breakfast offerings. We do hope you will visit with us again in 2022. Best wishes for a great winter! Acadia Jane
This place is Very Nice...Newer property not far(5-10 minutes) from Bar Harbor... Nice Friendly staff...Nice location(lots of things to do in both directions) Nice amenities(only disappointment was the outdoor pool closed the day we got there)...
Thank you for your stay and this review! I apologize for the pool closure. We are to be opened at the pool until Columbus Day Weekend and when the weather turned a little colder he did close it up just after. Last year we kept it open for an additional week it was so warm out. I know that must have been a disappointment and I hope you were able to enjoy other things in the area to do instead. We are very pleased to be your choice for your annual visit. Please stay again and mention you'd like the pool to remain open if possible!! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Beautiful, clean, spacious rooms near the park entrance and away from the hubbub of BH town center. Also, the best breakfast we enjoyed on our two-week trip. The grounds were lovely and the staff was welcoming. Nothing but positives here...
Dear Azzure, we all thank you very much for this awesome review! It is wonderful to having nothing but positives from you! Please stay again when in the Bar Harbor area!! Regards, Acadia Jane
the location was convenient to the park shops and restaurants yet quiet(location). The aesthetics of the room were tastefully done and comfortable (our room had a twin beds room with a barn door separation great for kids or second couple). The breakfast had homemade blueberry muffins!
We are so happy you found our family room to be to your liking! We have just two but they do serve families or two couples well. Our breakfast gals bake every day and they will love to know you enjoyed their baked muffins. Our serene setting is ideal to get away from the hustle and bustle of town and yet be close enough to get there fairly quickly at a little over 4 miles away. We look forward to your next visit!! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
We stayed at this Best Western as a stop-over to another destination so I didn't spend much time on the particulars when I booked a room. Wow! I want to go back. The room was spacious & comfortable. The bed was just soft enough that I wanted to burrow in but firm enough that my back was happy with me the next day. The room was pristine. Late check in was surprisingly easy and breakfast was a very pleasant surprise. I look forward to returning when I have time to stay for a few days. We traveled on a holiday weekend so it was a little more than I wanted to spend, but I would do it again based on the great night's sleep.
We are just delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us and we also want you to come back when you have time to play and rest after exploring the park! We have great rates in the off-season so perhaps an early spring trip when it is less busy around the area would be a good change! Thank you very much and we look forward to seeing you again. Acadia Jane
Beginning with the wonderful help of BW's point man, Joel, who arranged all aspects of our visit from the check in procedures to the ease of our departure, this visit exceeded all my expectations. The room was outstanding and the breakfast full and complete. We utilized the laundry facility, which had all the right gear to let us wash and dry two loads of clothes. Visit was so good, we tried to stay another night, but they were all booked up. If I ever get a chance to go again, I will be staying at the Beat Western Acadia
What a pleasure to read your review! Joel is fabulous in his position and loves to help guests with anything and everything within his power. Thank you for acknowledging him. We do hope you will stay again and apologize that we were unable to accommodate you for an additional night. We look forward to your next stay with us and hope you have a splendid rest of 2021! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
Great staff, friendly and accommodating. The grounds are lovely with a good layout out with a pool. Rooms are spacious and CLEAN! Breakfast was more than adequate with good options. Well situated close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor town. We had a really comfortable stay at Best Western Acadia Park Inn.
Our Best Western motto is "stay with people who care" and we mean it! Thank you very much for taking the time to write this review for us. I believe we have the best housekeeping staff around and they are very conscious of Covid and cleanliness and sanitization. Thank you for recognizing that! Please stay with us again when you revisit Bar Harbor and Acadia. Regards, Acadia Jane
Came in late after flying into Boston but the front desk helped me with the late, self check-in which was awesome so I could get some shut eye! Breakfast plentiful and well-maintained. Room was clean, a fairly standard BW but no complaints here! Suited my needs of a place to stay. A little pricey but I think that is the times we are in.
I am very happy that check-in was seamless for you and you had a good nights sleep. We all thank you for such a nice review and choosing to stay with us. Please come again! Acadia Jane
The check-in was quick and efficient, and the front desk person was friendly. I especially liked the fact that we could park in front of our room and just walk-in. No going through lobbies, waiting for elevators, etc. The hotel room was large, with two queen beds and a good size table along with plenty of counter space. The bathroom was also large. Be careful if you leave your door open (while loading or unloading) as we had a squirrel run into our room, but it ran out just as quickly. The complementary breakfast was pretty good with a decent choice of hot and cold options – but it was crowded. You may want to get what you want and eat it in your room. The only downside is that the hotel is approx. a 10-minute drive from Acadia and/or downtown Bar Harbor, but I still feel it was worth it. I'd stay here again.
Thank you Tina for the stay and review. We appreciate your great comments. We certainly do see wildlife here but usually it are deer eating up our gardens! We do however, have a few friendly and nosey chipmunks but rarely do they go inside rooms! I am very happy you took it so lightly. It is Maine after all, right? lol We sure do hope you come back and visit with us again soon! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
We had a great experience and really enjoyed our time here. Our room was clean with plenty of space and a nice bathroom. The breakfast was very convenient, with a good variety. We met Peggy Sue when we checked in during the evening, and she provided thorough information about the property. Everyone we encountered was pleasant and helpful. The property is located close to Acadia National Park entrance and not far from downtown Bar Harbor. There is nothing negative to say. We loved it!
Thank you for finding nothing negative to say about your stay! We appreciate your compliments and this review. Thank you for choosing to stay with us on this trip to MDI. Please stay again. We love our Peggy Sue and so happy she provided you with great information. Best wishes, Acadia Jane
Staff was amazing, The hotel is close to entrance of Arcadia Park and all parts of Mount Desert Island. Dining room spacious, clean and comfortable. A pleasant spot to eat freshly made muffins. We found the grounds of the hotel relaxing with several open sitting areas and outdoor activities. It felt like we were in a park.
We all thank you for such a nice review! It is wonderful to read such a positive write-up of the staff and the park- like feel you experienced while enjoying our property! We do hope you will visit with us again. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Our stay was very enjoyable and easy. The hotel was comfortable and clean. The free breakfast was nice as well. It was a great choice for a reasonably priced hotel. I will consider again in the future.
We appreciate your considering to stay with us again when you are in the area. Thank you for your stay and this great review! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
I have to admit, Best Western's are not typically the brand my wife likes to stay in on family vacations, so when I said our big summer vacation included a stay at a BW, it was met with suspect. But we were pleasantly surprised by this hotel - especially the hotel rooms. It is noticeable that the rooms had had recent updates as they looked much more modern than the appearance of the hotel grounds. Not that the grounds were shabby - they were well kept and clean (but the 'bones' of the hotel looked like the typical older car motel). Staff overall were nice and kept busy. Due to COVID we had no daily house keeping but that was fine as we didn't desire any. We were asked to sit used towels and trash outside for pick up and we were able to get fresh towels on demand. That is all we needed. More about the rooms - I was pleased with the updated bathrooms and room decor. I enjoyed the walk-in shower. The bed was comfy enough for me. But as typically with these style of motel rooms, the A/C heater unit attached to the wall was not my favorite as it was a bit too noisy. The free breakfast and dining area was a nice size and plenty of the standard options including a self-waffle maker. The kitchen staff was efficient and friendly (be sure to leave a tip!) All staff wore masks - but I wish they enforced the mask rule for the other hotel visitors especially those that were walking around the food as some didn't have on one. We traveled with my older kids so we had them in separate rooms from us and the hotel did a great job keeping our rooms a close as possible. The drive to Acadia National Park was short and I saw the free bus stopping out front of the hotel, but we didn't use it. I read others mention car noise but that never bothered us. It was very peaceful at night. Overall a decent choice at a decent price if motels are your thing.
Thank you! We aim to please and it sounds as though we got a bulls-eye! That is awesome and we hope to see you again the next time you travel to the Bar Harbor area. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
We enjoyed our stay here. The large well landscaped property had all rooms with outside entrances so you could drive up to your door. All sanitary precautions appeared to be taken. It was clean, as expected, and quiet. Laundry facilities were available. The breakfast was hot, and outside seating was available. The hotel was not far from Bar Harbor (five miles) and about two miles from the Acadia Park entrance.
Thank you Suzanne N for your stay and this fine review! We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and enjoyed the hot breakfast! Please stay again when you are in the Bar harbor area! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
First time my husband and I have ever stayed in a Best Western and first time in Bar Harbor. We were so pleased with our stay at Best Western Acadia Park Inn! It is so conveniently located to Acadia and to great restaurants. The building our room was in (303) was either brand new or had recently been remodeled. It was a BIG room, clean, and beautiful! The room included a small fridge, microwave, and personal safe. The towels were a a step above your usual hotel towels. They were soft and fluffy!! Much appreciated! I was concerned about hearing road noise because our room faced Hwy 3, but it wasn't a problem at all. The motel grounds were beautifully landscaped and well maintained. We only came into contact with the staff at check in. The front desk clerk was very friendly and took the time to point out all motel amenities and made several restaurant suggestions. I highly recommend the Best Western Acadia Inn.
Thank you very much Bev L for this awesome review! We appreciate your stay with us when there are so many choices in the Bar Harbor area. We are close enough to the downtown but far enough away to be out of the hustle and bustle to offer a serene setting for rest and relaxation. We hope you will stay again! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
We have never been to Acadia and wanted a hotel close to the park and downtown. We chose the Best Western for its location and price. We were pleasantly surprised by how nice it was! It was recently updated hotel with great amenities. The breakfast was very good and the cookies in the reception area were a nice touch. The rooms were simple, clean and well maintained. They had cornhole, a swing set, grill area, pool, and lots of outdoor seating. Everything we needed for our mini vacation. We will definitely be visiting again!
We hope you enjoyed your first visit to Acadia and will make it a trip to repeat in the near future. We thank you for the great review and very happy that you will stay with us again. Best wishes! Acadia Jane
We had a Great experience. Very pleased with the appearance. Nice inground pool and play area, with swing set, for the children. The room was very clean and comfortable. Delicious breakfast with many options.The front desk and restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful.The location was not far from down town. We would certainly stay here again.
What a wonderful way to start my day! Thank you very much for such a nice review of your stay! We look forward to seeing you again and hope it will be soon!! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
New everything, clean, spacious room, comfortable beds, good linens, full breakfast, decent outdoor heated pool, very friendly front desk. The hotel is conveniently located 10-12 minute ride from Bar Harbor. Good for a family stay……..
We are very happy to provide no disappointments to you! We hope to see you and your family again. It is such a delight to read such a positive review. Thank you! Acadia Jane
This was our 3rd stay at this property. Room was spotless clean and huge w a club chair and couch. Nice quiet location. While on this road trip we found this place to have the best continental breakfast . Staff was very friendly.
We appreciate your loyalty to our Best Western Acadia Park Inn! We are happy that you enjoyed your stay and breakfast. We are looking forward to seeing you again in 2022! Stay well ! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
At first things looked promising - close location to the park, a pool, the family room #416 was spacious. As night set in things got bad. At first, I noticed two mosquitoes in the closet and then found over a dozen more throughout the unit. I spent over an hour killing them all but I kept finding more although our windows and door were always shut. I called the front desk and they told me to not keep my door open although I told them it was not. Not helpful. I thought housekeeping must have kept the door open while they were cleaning but daily cleaning was suspended so by the second day I knew that was not the cause. Second night, same thing - after the sun went down the room had a constant stream of mosquitoes and other insects. I killed dozens. I had a hunch there were gaps in the door because you can feel a breeze so I blocked it with tissue. It seemed to slow down the number of insects. Third day I called the front desk again to change rooms - they said nothing was available but they would send a maintenance person over to investigate. No one ever came. Instead I resorted to buying a roll of painters tape. I taped the gaps between the frame and the door from the outside when we went out to dinner, and promptly taped the gaps from the inside when we settled in for the night. Not a single mosquito that night. It was a ridiculous way to spend vacation time. The responses I got from the front desk were a disgrace. I've been to hotels in third world countries, but this was the worse experience. That number of mosquitoes could be a safety hazard.
Dear misterperfect I apologize for the mosquito issue you encountered. They have not been an issue for us this season and this is the first I have heard a complaint from any room. The housekeepers do keep doors open to air out when sanitizing the rooms and cleaning them for the next guest but mosquitoes are not crazy about the sanitizing agents we use so I am at a loss as to why you were hounded by them. Perhaps they came in with you as they may have liked your scent. I rarely have issues with them but they do like my husband. Just theorizing. That family room you were in is constantly in use and my maintenance man did check the gaps you speak of. There did not seem to be an issue to him. I can only say that you were out when he checked the door for gaps. We were unable to move you as were have had a full house nearly every night. We were unable to give you a refund and I guess that may be why you wrote this bad review for us? Please know we strive daily to create a friendly and comfortable place for our guests every day. Acadia Jane
This is one of the best places we have stayed anywhere. Very clean, large room, very nice grounds with sitting areas, pool and playground, and included breakfast with hot and cold options. Very convenient for visits to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, in a quiet setting even though it's just off the main road. Highly recommend.
That is such a great statement to read! To be "one of the best places we have stayed anywhere". WOW! It does not get much better then that!. Thank you so much! We are delighted to know you enjoyed your stay and will recommend us to your friends and other potential travellers. We look forward to your next visit with us. Regards, Acadia Jane
We usually have had good experiences in Best Westerns, but Peggy Sue, the night manager here was exceptional. She went out of her way to accommodate us, make sure we were comfortable, and had everything we needed for our visit. Everyone should have such a great experience. The Inn itself was clean, convenient, and hospitable, with a pool and breakfast. Just a short ride to downtown Bar Harbor, or Acadia National Park. But the best part of the trip was Peggy Sue.
I so appreciate your compliments on our night manager Peggy Sue! She is marvelous, exceptional and very centered on guest happiness. I am delighted that you enjoyed your stay and she just made it even better! Please stay again when you are in the area. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
This was our first time at Best Western Acadia Park Inn and I can say we will definitely return! Such a convenient location to Acadia National Park! The rooms were very nice and the beds were so comfy! The breakfast was included each morning and it was delicious and well stocked! Bagels, muffins, bread for toast, and each day there was scrambled eggs and different types of sausage. Make your own waffles every morning, fruit and cereal..and of course coffee and juice. It really was very good and a great value! We had no problems with noise or anything and it was an extremely comfortable stay! Would definitely recommend!
Mary, thank you for such a nice review of your stay. We are very pleased that you plan to stay with us again when you are in the Bar Harbor area. We appreciate your recommendation to others as a great hotel in which to stay. It makes us very happy that you loved the breakfast and found our lodging to be very comfortable. Thank you for your stay and have a fabulous rest of 2021! Acadia Jane
Great place to stay when visiting Acadia/Bar Harbor. The front desk staff when super helpful and friendly. Upon checkin the offered us an overview of the area and gave us some suggestions on what to do, where to eat, etc. They couldn't have been nicer. The grounds of the hotel were very well kept and the rooms were extremely clean when we checked in. No problems with Wi-Fi. Breakfast was fairly typical hotel breakfast but it was clean and well stocked. One bonus was gluten free options upon request which I wish all hotels would do. One minor complaint was that the firepit was not able to be used. It is a couple of miles outside of Acadia and little bit further to Bar Harbor and we thought it was a great location. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
We thank you very much for your stay and this incredible review. We plan to have our S'Mores firepit open in 2022. We look forward to your next stay! Have a wonderful rest of 2021 and again, thank you! Acadia Jane
So glad we stayed here. Excellent location, outstanding room! We stayed in room #302. The room was huge and super nice bathroom! The property is beautiful and well kept. Breakfast was great as well. Would definitely recommend.
We are so glad you stayed her, too! Thank you very much for taking the time to write this wonderful review for us! We appreciate your recommendation to other potential travelers. We hope to see you again next year! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
I was amazed with my stay at the Best Western Acadia Park Inn. Super Clean, Friendly Helpful Staff, Great Breakfast. Recently I stayed at 5 star hotels in another state which were not as nice. A highlight of my vacation.
Dear 140rodneyL, We cannot thank you enough for this incredible review! This time of year it is hard to please the majority even though we really try hard to do that. This boosts the morale and we sincerely thank you! Please stay with us again when you are in this area!! Regards, Acadia Jane
After a solidly good but short stay in 2019, we returned in 2021 for a longer experience. In mid-April, I phoned to book a weeklong late July stay for my family. Peggy Sue at the front desk was most helpful in finding the room that would best suit us for an extended period. The property is surprisingly secluded and quiet, set back from adjacent ME highway 3 and surrounded by mature conifer forest. The aromatic setting alone is reason enough to seek out this motel. Add the accommodating staff; clean, comfortable room; spacious breakfast area with varied daily food options; and proximity to Acadia National Park to make this an easy choice for your Mt. Desert Island "base camp."
We are so happy that you were able to come back and stay with us for an even longer visit! We are blessed to have Peggy Sue represent the Best Western at our front desk! Thank you for your stay and your wonderful review! We hope to see you again in 2021!! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
I was amazed how clean and nice this hotel is. I booked at the beginning one night, but I liked it that much, that we decided to stay one more night. The breakfast common area was big and had additional tables outside. I was impressed with the food selection, also.
We love to "amaze"!! Thank you so much for staying that extra night and for this review! We look forward to seeing you again soon! Regards, Acadia Jane
Motel staff were professional, friendly. And helpful. Very Clean. Breakfast selection was good and well stocked. Great location within minutes of Acadia entrance and downtown Bar Harbor. Would definitely stay at this location again.
We are very pleased to know you will be returning to stay with us when in the Bar Harbor area again! Thank you for such nice compliments and your stay!! Acadia Jane
Such a comfortable night's sleep. Excellent breakfast options with egg, cereal, waffles, juice, fruit. Clean. Friendly. Marshmallow pit, swings, beautiful plantings. Convenient to activities downtown and the sights at Acadia. Pleasant knowledgeable front desk staff - Joel, Mary & Jeremy. The breakfast staff also are super helpful and make you feel like family and that they are so happy to see you.
How nice to read such wonderful comments concerning your stay! Thank you very much. It's always nice to see staff names in comments with such nice compliments! We hope you come back and stay again with us soon! We look forward to it. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
We stayed for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed each night! A nice value for the price, the rooms are simple but clean, and has everything you need. The only drawback in the room is that while the barn style bathroom door looks nice, it really doesn't provide as much privacy. Breakfast was great with a nice variety of hot and cold offerings, though the coffee on the weak side. The outdoor pool was nice and warm and clean as well, open from 9am til dusk. All in all I'd book this hotel again next time!
Thank you for your stay and review! We are very happy that you enjoyed yourselves enough to come back! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
My husband and I stayed here for three nights while exploring Mount Desert Island. The room was spacious and clean. There were no humidity problems. The continental breakfast had a nice choice of hot and ready-to-eat selections, including breads and fruits. The dining area was kept clean as well. The hotel's location is close to downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We had a very comfortable stay, and would stay here again when in the area.
We appreciate your taking the time to review your stay with us and thank you. We are happy you enjoyed your stay well enough to stay again when visiting the Bar Harbor area! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
We have stayed here twice in the past few years. Both times clean and quiet. Breakfast is good hotel buffet. The owners clearly care about their investment. Beds comfortable and clean. Pillow a bit lumpy but okay. They just remodeled (probably over COVID last year) - our room has a missing door knob and the water is reversed hot/cold. Funny. WiFi is strong. Hard to believe this is $400/night if you booked today. But this is peak season. I like the location because we prefer the quieter parts of MDI - easy to get around without slogging through Bar Harbor more than once.
Thank you very much for choosing to stay with us. We certainly do have a serene setting and not far from downtown. We have completed our renovations and yes, we have had some issues with a few of those inset door handles for the bathrooms. The demand for lodging has been tremendous following the Covid crisis here on MDI . You are correct to say this is peak season! Thank you for being a regular guest and we hope to see you in 2022. Best wishes, Acadia Jane
4 of us visited Acadia and stay here...It was perfect for us. Laid back, great breakfasts, nice grounds, pool, and generally a fun place for us to be. It was covenient to the park, in town amusements and good restaurants. I recommend it.
This hotel is about 3 miles from the entrance of Acadia National Park, and it is about 7 miles from the town of Bal Harbor. There are other hotels that are closer to town; however, this hotel is priced well for its amenities. The breakfast is amazing! Jill in particular was a ray of sunshine every morning. She greeted everyone with a smile and seem to know exactly what you needed. She is 82 years young and does not miss a beat. In addition, the rooms were clean and everyone was friendly in front office.
Thank you Carmen! What a wonderful review and I am so happy you mentioned Jill! She is true treasure and we love her. It is great to know you enjoyed your stay and found our rooms clean and priced well. We look forward to seeing you again! The fall is beautiful here...hint.. hint Acadia Jane
This property should be the flagship for Best Western! Clean, so clean! Bedding excellent quality like 5 star hotel. Quiet, even though a motor lodge we couldn't hear other quests or neighbor's noise. Landscaping gorgeous and park-like. Heated swimming pool was divine after a day hiking Acadia. Breakfast hot with lots of choices and staff polite and accommodating. We were so delightfully surprised that so much perfection could be found at this Best Western. Must be pride of ownership, eh?
This was our first time visiting Acadia, and this motel is one of the reasons why we will be coming back every year. This place is extremely clean and the grounds are well kept and beautiful. Jeremy and Peggy Sue were behind the desk on our arrival and the both of them went out of their way to provide us with their knowledge of the area. The rooms are spotless and the bed was very comfortable. Water pressure was just fine. Jeremy and Peggy Sue were very helpful throughout our 6 day stay, as was the rest of the staff, with dining suggestions and attraction tips. This place is like something out of the past, when people cared about each other and the hospitality industry was actually hospitable! Great place and the bonus is that it is very close to Acadia and to the town itself. Lots of dining options close by. Thanks again Jeremy and Peggy Sue for making our stay very special and comfortable.
I booked an 8-night stay a while ago but had to break it into 3 reservations due to the room availability. Today I tried to call the hotel to see whether I can combine them into one so I don't need to switch rooms in between. To be frank, I didn't expect much given the hot vacation season this year. Maria in the customer service in the hotel helped me to check the room availability and there is no room available for the same type in that period which is what I expected. I can tell she was very busy handling several requests at the same time. But she explained it to me very patiently and promised to put a note in my first reservation to keep me in the same room if it is available. I got an email on my 1st reservation with a note on it in 15 mins. I was very satisfied with her efforts. Surprisingly, I got a call from Maria in another 10 mins. She was very excited to tell me that the same type of room is available now and she will make the change for me. What a pleasant surprise! She was really thinking about the customer's needs and went above and beyond to help. Thank you, Maria! You made my day! I have been to Best Western many times in other areas and am looking forward to my stay in Acadia this time.
Thank you very much! We are" the people who care!" Mary/Maria was very happy to make a guest happy. I am pleased to know that she went above and beyond for you and everyone is happy! We look forward to your stay! Best wishes and see you soon!! Acadia Jane
Great location, clean and modern accommodations, decent breakfast, but staff hospitality is not above and beyond as we experienced at other stops on our trip. Check in is apparently not guaranteed until 4pm. So weigh that into your consideration. As others mentioned, you are assigned a room before you arrive, so even if the room type you requested is available and already cleaned from the previous guests, don't expect to be able to access anything early. If it's a special occasion like we were celebrating for an anniversary, you won't see even a note of congratulations. They made a point to catalog all the things not available at check in such as WiFi being temporarily down in our building (we experienced no lack of access) and rooms not being serviced (we were only staying one night so this service wouldn't even be expected). When we asked if we could check into a room in one of their buildings with no wifi issues since my husband needed WiFi for work, they said no, that our room was already assigned. This as I mentioned, wasn't an issue, but it seems odd to start your experience with all the negative instead of leading with the fact that in our location we may be able to access WiFi still. The staff could welcome guests by explaining all the nice things about the facility and the urgency in which they are trying to remedy any lack of services. Even on our first try at checking in, the front desk seemed to almost delight in not having to deal with us yet, instead of offering other solutions like holding our bags and or taking our number if the room should free up early. Maybe the front desk staff was having a rough day with the facility being sold out, but we were the only ones trying to check in at the time on both occasions and we definitely started off on a sour note.
Dear Kaylie, I apologize for the inconveniences you encountered. Our check-in time has temporarily changed due to the lack of help and not wanting to give up and the Best Western cleaning/ sanitizing efforts on housekeeping's part. We are no different than any other business in the USA who has been slowed down due to worker shortages. Thankfully we have been able to hire more staff and excited to have the rooms cleaned earlier most days. The room assignments are necessary due to the huge number of reservations we have. Many people want to stay a number of days in a particular type room or side-by-side and we have to make it work. When times are slower, we always have vacant, unreserved rooms available and are able to assign them upon arrival if necessary. All front desk agents are happy to check guests in earlier when possible. Your anniversary was not divulged to us or we would have happily placed a card and extra treat in your room for you. When you book through a third party do not count on what you tell them to reach the property. It did not reach us. In spite of the issues that upset you. we hope you had a happy anniversary. Please give us another try. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
My wife and I stayed at this place for 3 nights. On the 2nd day, I noticed an extra charge of $30 on my credit card from the hotel. When I inquired at the front desk, I was told that the $30 was for a NP pass that was charged to our room number. Since my wife just turned 62, she bought a senior NP pass ($80) that day. I explained this to the person at the front desk and so would not need to purchase a daily park pass for $30. However, the desk person insisted that I was the person that purchased the pass. Finally, she told us that you will take care of it. At the end of our hotel stay, we noticed that there was a charge of $30 for each of the 3 days. We were told that the charges would be credited. However, that never happened. Over the next two weeks, I called the hotel at least 3 times to inquire about the credit due, but it was never settled. We finally decided to call our credit card company for a dispute on the extra charges. The hotel never believe that I never purchased the $30 daily park pass despite my explanation to them on-site and on the phone.
Dear jootan, your Acadia National Park pass the cost of $30 was refunded immediately. It may have taken your credit card company longer to credit back your account. I apologize for the confusion and your calls were not ignored at all. We absorbed the mistake as you insisted that it was an error. I do hope that you will visit us again in the future. Please realize refunds do not happen immediately when it comes to credit card companies. The error was settled. We apologize for the inconvenience this caused you. Thank you. Regards, Acadia Jane
WE stayed in this locations because of the reviews we had read. We were not disappointed. In addition to a perfect, quiet location the hotel and its staff were above expectations. The room was large and comfortable. More than that, the bathroom was plenty big with ample counter space. The breakfast area was well maintained and the food fresh and delicious, with many options.
The BW was just top-notch. The hotel and grounds are super clean and accommodating including tidy laundry room, well kept pool area, and manicured green space. The room was clean, fresh and spacious with nice updated bathroom. The front desk and staff were friendly and helpful with regards to hotel and helpful information about the park and surrounding town. The breakfast room and breakfast itself was a real pleasure with two attendants constantly making sure everything was refilled and neat. Food included waffles, eggs, breakfast meats, cereals and much more....
Thank you Mark for taking the time to post this awesome review! We are very happy that you had an enjoyable time staying with us. Please come back and see us again when you are in the Bar Harbor area! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
I've stayed in a lot of Best Westerns and they are a nice hotel chain overall, but this location is the best! It may be a chain hotel, but it sure doesn't feel like it! Joel, who runs the front desk was very nice, courteous, knowledgable and very friendly! Every other staff member was very nice as well! We will definitely be back again in the future, thanks for making this our stay that much better!
We want to thank you very much for this awesome review! Joel is full of information and loves his position , being able to assist our guests! We look forward to that return visit! Warn regards, Acadia Jane
We loved this hotel. The staff is very friendly and the breakfast is great. The room was comfortable but on the last morning we came back after a morning hike to no hot water. The staff had no answer and offered a “sorry” at best. We left unable to shower. That was disappointing.
Kathy, I sincerely apologize for that hot water issue. That certainly was a problem for a one building of the hotel for a couple of hours. Once the reason was determined it was repaired as quickly as humanly possible. We are very pleased that you loved the hotel and staff and do hope you will stay with us again when in the area. Once in a while something happens that is an inconvenience and that certainly was. Please accept our apologies again. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
We were very pleased with our room. We had two adult sons with us and reserved a King/2 single bed room. My sons a are very slim and average height but the singles would be too small for anyone over 6 feet tall. Our room was clean and in very good condition. The property has some nice amenities. There is a pool, playground, chairs and picnic tables on the grounds. The breakfast was outstanding. The variety and quality of the food was awesome. I am attaching menu from the breakfast. The motel is about a 10 minute drive into Bar Harbor. It is also about a 5 minute drive to the entrance to Acadia National Park. The staff here were very friendly and helpful. There was no daily room cleaning due to Covid but you can call front office and request fresh towels and they would deliver them to you. You could also go to the front office if you needed more toiletries. The breakfast also transitioned from the staff serving you to self service and on the last day the indoor seating opened up. If you're looking for a place to eat nearby, there is a BBQ place called Mainely Meats about 1/2 mile down the road. One other thing to note is that the front desk was not 24/7. They closed lifting the night. There was a doorbell to ring after hours.
Thank you very much for the great review. I would like to add that we have staff on duty 24/7 and there is a large sign pointing to the door bell for any emergencies or lock outs. We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay and we do hope you will come back and stay again when you are in the Bar Harbor area! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
The hotel was quiet and I loved the convenience of parking right by my door. The breakfast was good, and we were able to get food by 6:30AM before going to Acadia early to hike. The room was clean and comfortable. I would have given this 5 stars if we didn't have an issue with our shower. The shower/tub diverter valve didn't seem to work, so only half the water came out of the shower head. We also had a very slow drain so were standing in a few inches of water after each shower. We didn't notice this until we were already unpacked and settled in, so I didn't want to switch rooms or have someone come in to fix it while we were there. However, I did mention this when checking out and got some Best Western points for the inconvenience. I'm not sure how this could have gone unnoticed by the cleaning staff (or reported by a previous guest) so that it could have been fixed prior to my stay. I'm personally not a fan of the sliding barn style doors for the bathroom. They are cute, but don't really provide much privacy from a sound perspective. This is just my opinion. I'm sure others may like them. Just be aware in case this is something that might bother you depending on who you are traveling with :) Even given this, I would still recommend the hotel to others, and I would stay here again myself. Acadia and Bar Harbor are great places to visit and this hotel was a convenient home base for 6 nights while we vacationed.
We thank you for your stay and taking the time to place this review for us. We apologize for the issue with the shower and drain. Maintenance has ordered a new shower head for this room as it seems to have a broken piece inside. He has taken care of that drain. I do not believe housekeeping uses as much water as a person who showers so they evidently did not see a problem with the drain and they do not run the shower at all. We appreciate your feedback. We also apologize for the bathroom door that you disliked. We appreciate your recommending us to others and look forward to seeing you again! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
The Cleanest Hotel We have ever stayed in .the staff is the best joel and his crew make you feel so welcome to be in bar harbor.the grounds are so well kept .and the breakfast is really good and they have a great variety every single morning.

We are very excited and pleased to know that we were your choice for your very first visit to Bar Harbor! We strive to ensure that our guests have a good time while here with us and we are thankful for your stay and this review! We look forward to your next visit! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
Room nice sized, grounds kept up beautifully with flowers, good swimming pool. Staff attentive with good service. In particular, Peggy Sue the night manager gave excellent service by finding a way to extend our stay one night despite the hotel being sold out.
We thank you very much for your stay and review. It is always awesome to read a great review of our property! We look forward to seeing you again when you travel to our Bar Harbor area! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
Peggy Sue is a customer service beast. I dropped and cracked my styrofoam cooler. She GAVE ME HERS. Who does that! Shout out to PEGGY SUE. Thank You Rooms are clean and have a fresh look. I can see my self in the bathtub, it's so shiny. Location location location . Can't beat it.
Thank you! Peggy Sue is a gem for sure and she is always willing to go the extra mile for our guests and other staff members. We appreciate your kind words in this review and happy you enjoyed your stay. Please stay again! Acadia Jane
Great location to Acadia Natl Park. Great breakfast and laundry room with 2 new washer and dryers each. Really good hot breakfast each morning with tons of options. Super friendly staff. Highly recommend this hotel if you are going to visit the area!
We sure do appreciate your recommendation to others! Thank you very much for your stay and taking the time to post a review for us!! We welcome you back!! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
If you are looking for a budget friendly place that is clean and offers great service, then this is the place to be. We stayed for 2 nights and was great. Room service was perfect, everything was clean, and the staff was simply great. Situated very close to downtown and the Acadia National Park, location is perfect to get in and out. I highly recommend this place. You won't regret it.
Thank you very much for this review and your stay! We certainly appreciate your recommendation to others. We look forward to your next stay with us! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
No regard for elite status. We didn't like the room and they didn't want to change it, because other rooms were “assigned”, not that people already checked in. This is the laziest excuse I ever heard. Btw “super-clean” due to covid rooms had massive spiderwebs with spiders in them.
Thank you for your review. We take very seriously all comments from all guests. The rooms are assigned before arrival in accordance to the guests who request side-by-side and those who are here for the number of days available for a particular room or type of room. That is not an excuse, its a fact. I apologize for the unhappiness you have with our not switching you to another room. We are in a wooded area in Maine and we do have little pests on occasion even though we have pest control on a regular basis. Our rooms are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized however; spiders (non-harmful) do make webs very quickly. That was unfortunate for sure and I do apologize for your unhappiness with your stay. I wish you had asked to see the manager the next morning. I might have been able to move you and repaired the damage. Please give us another try. Thank you very much. Acadia Jane
My daughter,her girls and myself were on our way home from seeing family but needed to stay a night before getting to the jetport in portland . i would give this motel higher than the "10" they offered if possible..Wonderful,friendly front desk people,hot coffee,/hot choc/cookies available in that area-and after we went into our room,i realized as i'm recouperating from a badly fractured foot,i'd rather not share with 4 of us,i went and booked a 2nd room and everything was so easy and wonderful. I've stayed at numerous BEST WESTERNS,but this one was beautiful,inside and also the grounds.
Thank you! We are grateful for your stay and this awesome review. We are happy you are loyal to the Best Western brand. Please stay with us again when you revisit this area. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
We have been coming to this Hotel for over 5 years, we wouldn't stay anywhere else ! The Hotel manager is excellent and has an outstanding staff. The room is always perfect and the WiFi is excellent. Beautiful exterior with flowers planted everywhere, picnic tables and chairs. Lobby is nice and at night is a nice place to stop in for a cup of coffee and freshly baked cookies. Breakfast was very nice, served a hot breakfast-along with muffins, cereal, fruit, juices and more. They figured out how to do breakfast, even during this time of COVID-19. So many hotels are doing nothing for breakfast, but this Hotel did an excellent job in serving a very nice breakfast. All staff at the Hotel are friendly and helpful. We are all ready planning our next trip back and we just got home ! Thank you for a wonderful stay and always taking good care of us. I am a Diamond member with Best Western and a Lifetime Titanium Elite with Marriott and I give this Hotel the best rating possible.
Thank you so much for such an awesome review! We are always happy to see you both and looking forward to seeing you again in 2022!! The staff will be excited to read your comments! Have a great rest of 2021 ! Always a pleasure!! Acadia Jane
We picked this hotel because it was close to the Acadia National Park entrance. We were very pleased with the quality of the room. Also the location allowed us the find excellent places to eat without the crowded downtown ares. The day clerk (Mary) and the breakfast girl (Michelle) went out of their way to prepare a "to go" breakfast as we were leaving before the scheduled breakfast time. A VERY nice place to stay.
Thank you very much Anthony for your stay and this review. We are very happy that you had an enjoyable stay with us and hope you return soon for another visit. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
To be honest, we weren't expecting such a great facility at the price we paid. Of course, we went in mid-May, before the tourist season began, but we were still blown away! The room we had was fully updated, the staff was extremely helpful, and they managed to provide a hot breakfast, free, despite being on the tail end of the pandemic. This hotel is not directly in town, which we viewed as a plus. It was quiet and extremely comfortable. Thanks for a great stay!
We are very pleased to hear that we exceeded your expectations! Thank you very much for your review and your stay. We do hope you will stay with us again soon! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
Stayed for 4 nights on my trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia. All staff were very nice and welcoming, great continental breakfast options, clean and nice rooms. I really liked the location, 5 minutes to the entrance of Acadia NP and 10 minutes to downtown Bar Harbor. Would stay again on my next trip.
Thank you very much for this review! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us and will stay again next time you are in this area. Have a great summer!!! Acadia Jane
This inn is so well organized and operated. Rooms are impeccable, the grounds well-kept. The hot breakfast is a treat in these COVID days when other hotels simply leave off giving breakfast. The location is ideal for visiting Acadia National Park.
Thank you! We sure appreciate your taking the time to post this review and such awesome comments! Happy you enjoyed breakfast!! Housekeeping will be happy to hear their efforts are recognized!! My best, Acadia Jane
We arrived after dark and were greeted by the extremely kind, professional, and helpful night manager, Peggy Sue. She provided multiple recommendations for places to eat and all were excellent. The hotel room was very clean, spacious, nicely decorated, and well kept with all the features we needed - queen beds, nice shower, microwave, fridge, fast wifi, etc. We loved being able to pull our car right up next to our room. We have come to expect this with Best Western hotels and we were not disappointed. The breakfast in the morning followed COVID code protocols and was still a very complete breakfast, served cafeteria-style. Way more than just a piece of fruit and a bowl of cereal. Overall we had a wonderful experience at the Best Western Acadia Park Inn.
We are so happy that you had a wonderful experience staying with us! That is music to our ears. Peggy Sue is a wonderfully awesome lady and so happy she was so helpful. Please stay again when in this area. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
It was a wonderful trip. Room and staff where awesome. Wil stay again. Breakfast was awesome. Temp in room was awesome. Ease of checking was perfect. And it was very quick. Not alot of people. Great..
Jewel, we thank you and look forward to your next stay! It is a great time to visit Bar Harbor with fewer crowds! Warm wishes for a great 2021!! Acadia Jane
Visited the Best Western from 9/19/2020 to 9/26/2020, staying in room 303 (2 Queen bed room) which was on the front side of the hotel very close to the office area and a short walk to the breakfast room and pool-area ice machine. The room was very nice, clean, modern and up-to-date, had plenty of electrical outlets for my devices (a great perk), and a great HVAC unit. I supposed many folks would be running heat at the time of my visit, but I love a cold room, so I ran the A/C or at least the fan most of the time. Due to Covid, no room service was happening at the time, but that was fine. I simply sat the trash bags out whenever they needed emptying, and new bags were furnished upon request. Whenever I needed new towels or linens, I simply called the front desk and they hung new ones on the door in a bag, and I bagged up the dirty ones and sat them outside the door as well. Bathroom was good, with lots of counter space on the sink area, an overhead light inside the shower stall (a real plus). I'm used to a "grab bar" inside the shower, so was disappointed there wasn't one inside. Room had a mini-fridge and microwave which I made good use of during the visit. My only real complaint was the lack of a hot breakfast, as all they were having due to Covid was "grab and go" items. I had to buy my "hot food items" elsewhere, then heat it up in the room in the mornings. I felt that an equivalent discount per night was in order due to the fact I had to spend extra money elsewhere to get a hot breakfast each morning. Considering my stay was for a full week, this added up to around $70, and a discount on the room rate would've been very handy. Perhaps this and all other hotels which offer a hot breakfast normally should consider daily gift cards to local restaurants to replace that meal most folks would get at the hotel instead of offering these "grab and go" items, as they just don't do the job a hot breakfast would do in getting one going in the morning. The staff was excellent to deal with during the visit, however. Everyone was friendly and helpful; it was nice seeing the same faces each day. Each evening, I went to the lobby to collect the "complementary cookies" offered, and it was always a pleasure to do so. There was even a "welcome gift" awaiting my arrival at the front desk upon check-in. I received a gift basket with some local food and drink items which I enjoyed a lot, and a nice wooden cutting board. While the location of this hotel isn't "right in" downtown Bar Harbor, it wasn't too far a drive, and traffic was never an issue between the hotel and town during our stay. It was very convenient to the Mainely Meats BBQ location just a short distance down the road, which I frequented during my visit. All in all, I would highly recommend a stay at the Best Western Acadia Inn while visiting the area. Hoping to return again someday in "non-Covid" times when things are much more "normal" in circumstances.
We thank you very much for your stay and this great review. We also wish to have our breakfast buffet back to normal. Our offerings did include heated breakfast sandwiches and offered hot oatmeal as a cereal choice. I am happy you chose to visit our neighboring restaurant to enjoy a larger, hotter meal. We do hope you will stay again in the non-Covid times ahead and see just how great our breakfast is under usual circumstances. Stay well and thank you again! Acadia Jane
A fairly last-minute covid vacation -- I booked about a week before our early Oct trip, and was surprised to find this hotel (and just about everything else we drove past) to be fully booked when we arrived. We spent five nights here, and found this to be a great base for exploring Acadia. We were happy not to have stayed in downtown Bar Harbor. It was easy enough (and quick enough) to drive into town for dinners, and this was a good location to explore main Park Loop area, SW Harbor area, and Schoodic Peninsula. Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with good layout and microwave/fridge. Didn't have many interactions with staff, but those we did encounter were extremely pleasant and helpful. Packaged grab-and-go breakfast items didn't do it for me -- but the hotel gets points for trying to keep everyone safe. All in all, a really good experience.
Lisa, thank you for taking the time to post this review. We hope to see you again when the Covid virus is history so that you can enjoy our usual awesome breakfast buffet as well as the extras we place in rooms. Unfortunately we have had to remove many items for safety's sake this year. Pre-packaged items for our breakfast is a law and also requested by Best Western. Unfortunately we are not a restaurant and cannot do as they do. We appreciate the compliments on the cleanliness and comfortable accommodations we provide. Warm wishes , Acadia Jane
This is our second stay at this hotel. The rooms are clean, no evidence of bedbugs, and you exit your room to your parking space which is convenient if you have bikes or things you want from the car. Staff is present until 9pm and you recognize the same faces that staff the dining area, front desk, cleaning crew. Everyone is very polite and it appears that they reinforce physical distancing and masking. Breakfast offerings are prepackaged and processed, but there are hard boiled eggs, oatmeal, , oranges and bananas if you favor unprocessed.
We are happy that you found us following the specific safety guidelines set out for our guest and staff' sake. We appreciate your stay and your lovely review. We try to have as many offerings as possible on our pre-packaged breakfast. We are grateful bananas and oranges already come that way. Thankfully we have not had issues with any bed bugs for years and pray it stays that way. Thank you. Best wishes , Acadia Jane
We stayed here for several nights while visiting Acadia. I called the desk ahead, informing them of our late arrival. They gladly made arrangements to leave our room key in a disclosed location . We found our envelope with key, and all important information. The room was very clean and very spacious. The breakfast offered plenty of prepacked foods, as cereal, yogurt, bagel, muffin, and more along with bananas and drinks. The kitchen staff person serving the food was very welcoming and warm. The front desk staff was very eager to suggest nearby places for dinner and directions. They replenished out towels, toiletries and more by dropping them off in a plastic bag by the door inside your room. We left our used towels and trash outside of our door and it was collected immediately. The heater/AC in the room worked very well but was a bit noisy at times. Internet was great . This hotel is very close to the national park entrance and downtown. Great find. We will certainly return.
Thank you! We sure do appreciate your stay and review. We look forward to your returning in 2021 and we hope Covid is history by then! ! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Check-in was flawlessly efficient, contact free, and pleasant. The express check-out made things effortless when leaving, and the amenities offered in the room were clean and pleasant. The Grab-and-go breakfast was an outstanding value, safely individually packaged and offering a wonderful selection of food options both hot and cold. The bed was spacious, clean, and amazingly comfortable.
Thank you very much for your stay and this review. We appreciate your awesome feedback and we hope you will stay again when we have no Covid and our usual great breakfast buffet! Smiles behind the mask! That is our motto this year for sure. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
We stayed here for 3 nights while visiting Acadia national park. This Best Western exceeded our expectations. Firstly the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Peggy gave us food take out recommendations, and everyone was on point. She went above and beyond and was a very genuine person. The room was clean and pretty updated! Nothing felt old or worn, and everything was sparkly clean. There are picnic tables around outside, and even a small playground in the back for kids, along with cornhole and some other adult type things. They handled Covid fantasticly. The breakfast building was closed to stay in and eat, but you walk in (masked of course), stand on your 6ft marker till it's your turn, and order what you like. They don't have much, it's continental, but a decent cup of coffee for sure. They have a bunch of tables set up outside the building for you to sit and eat. I have one small note/complaint about the room. Although the air conditioning/heating unit looked rather new, when it's running heat it's very loud. Woke us up a lot through the night. There was nothing wrong with the unit, it just seems like it's not meant to run heat. Close to Acadia park entrance, and close to Bar Harbor, about a few minutes to each. Also a couple great food places nearby like Mainely Meat BBQ on Dreamwood Hill has a delicious breakfast and good local coffee. The Chart Room has very good seafood. Next time we go to this beautiful area, I'd say we'd definitely stay here again.
We sure do appreciate your staying with us and for this fine review! We have reported the heater complaint to the maintenance department and will have them make any necessary repairs. Thank you for the feedback. We look forward to your next stay! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
Older hotel about 5 miles to downtown Bar Harbor. I presume that the reason it is higher cost is because of the area. Did include a pick and go breakfast. Had 2 rooms and they were a good size. Very quiet and clean.
Thank you for your stay and review! We have recently completed a three year renovation. We are happy you found us to be quiet and clean. Please stay again when in the area. Warm regards! Acadia Jane
Even in the age of COVID, we were not disappointed. While some things are different, the comfort and quality of our room was as good as always. The staff there is always very welcoming and helpful. Very close to one of Acadia's entrances. Close to town for dining and shopping.
Thank you! We appreciate your loyalty! It is wonderful to know you have always found us to have clean room's and are a safe bet! We look forward to seeing you again in non-Covid times! Best wishes for a safe and healthy rest of 2020! Acadia Jane
The motel has all rooms on one level - a nice feature. Only 2 miles from the entrance to Acadia, 2 miles from nice lobster stands and only 5 miles from Bar Harbor. There's a pool, 2 well-located ice machines and they did a good job of making breakfast decent during COVID.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write this review. We appreciate your staying with us when there are so many options in this area. We appreciate your stay and hope to see you in 2021! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
We came to Maine after cancelling our western national park trip due to covid. Maine allows NYers to visit without testing or quarantine. The hotel was pricey but I made reservations last minute so I had to take whatever I could find. The complex is several motel style buildings with a central building for breakfast and a communal pool. We were 3 adults and I reserved a suite which had 2 sleeping areas. The room was updated and clean. The one negative thing about the room was the use of "barn-style doors" which provide absolutely no noise privacy. We were unable to use the pool because of overcrowding by other guest and their lack of social distancing. Wifi password card was not in the room or written on our key folder. We called the front desk and got no answer so we went to the front desk which closed at 9:00pm. We tapped on the door and the agent treated us like idiots when we told her there was no card in the room nor was it written on the key folder as she insisted. Later, we did find it buried at the bottom of the check-in literature but it was not very prominent and easily missed if you don't study the paperwork. I suppose she was annoyed because apparently they close the lobby at 9 and she was off duty. Breakfast was included and the hotel figured out a good procedure to feed the guests and set up seating outdoors. Overall a good stay, we actually extended it one extra night. It's a few miles from Bar Harbor and Acadia so get going early to beat the crowds but overall we felt satisfied with our stay.
Thank you for your stay, this review and your feedback. I apologize for what seemed to be a loss of patience on the staffs' part. We do include the long tab of paper with the key sleeve and our Wi-Fi password. I am happy that you chose to stay another night with us and you enjoyed breakfast. The barn-style door is a love/hate situation. Some love the new trendy feature, others not so much. It boils down to the fact that pocket doors were not approved by Best Western and swing doors were not feasible. The barn-style was approved when we did renovations. The pool is generally not used as much but I guess this year with Covid and fewer places to go into people tended to stay here more and enjoy it. Please do stay with us again and hopefully Covid will be history! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
We were fortunate enough to check into our room at 10:30 AM. While the Best Western looks like a single story motel from the outside it is much better. We walked in and saw that our room was immaculately clean. The room was large as was the bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. They did an excellent job with the grab and go breakfast. Social distancing was maintained on the line to get your food. There was a large assortment including hot items, fruit, cereal, etc. The hotel is only 2 miles from the entrance to Acadia National Park and is a convenient 10 minute drive into Bar Harbor. Our 3 night stay here was an excellent experience.
We delight in reviews like this one and we thank you very much for recognizing the Covid19 precautions! WE are very happy that you enjoyed your stay and found your bed comfortable. Cleanliness is very important and we have a great housekeeping staff. Thank you very much!. Please stay again soon. Acadia Jane
It was an absolutely wonderful stay, The rooms were very clean and pleasant, you could tell that there was a lot of pride in how they take care of their property. The beds were very comfortable and I slept very well. We stayed in the front part of the end and it was still very quiet. It is also very close to Bar Harbor and Cadillac Mountain which is absolutely beautiful and also Close to a miniature golf and there's lots of things of interest around the area. It is a great place for family, in the back area they have a play area for the children. They definitely have family in mind and want everyone to have a great time.
Thank you very much for taking the time to give us the awesome review!! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us and slept well. It's great to know that you enjoyed the mini-golf next door to us as well as the Acadia National Park. We do take great pride in our property and cleanliness. We are doing our very best to keep everyone safe during these Covid times. Please stay with us again soon! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
The room was carefully cleaned and nicely presented. The grounds are attractive and well-maintained. The breakfast was very thoughtfully handled -- the staff prepared each of us a tray based on our requests. I thought that was an excellent touch. The hotel is located an easy 10 minute drive to downtown Bar Harbor. It was a perfect place in which to jump off into the park. I would visit again!
It is our desire to have our guests enjoy our hotel so much that they stay with us when they return to the Bar Harbor area. It sounds like we succeeded! Our housekeeping staff has done their usual great job but of course have included extreme sanitation to keep Covid 19 away from our guests! Thank you very much for these kind words and for choosing Best Western. We look forward to your next visit! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Just a couple of miles north of town center in Bar Harbor, this place is laid out like a motel which makes it SUPER easy access to our room, especially in this day and age of COVID-19. No lobby or elevator to negotiate to get to your room. Safe parking lot to leave the bikes on the car rack. The rooms are simple but very clean, Wi-Fi and roomy enough to leave the bikes during a trip to town. Remember, room access is right from the curb. Pool, playground and picnic tables on the property.
We are so pleased to read your review. Thank you. We hope you enjoyed the pool and the amenities we have outside for all guests. Our rooms have fewer "Homey" items in them but it is a safety precaution and makes sanitizing much easier. Please come again and know we appreciate your choosing to stay with us when there are so many lodging options in the area. Our property is away from the hustle and bustle of in town and gives a serene, calm feeling. Best wishes, Academia Jane
We stayed at the hotel 3 nights during our family vacation to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The hotel is situated conveniently just a few miles from the park entrance and town. Prices were reasonable and only a fraction of the cost of lower quality accommodations located closer to town. The facilities were clean and comfortable. Staff were very friendly, helpful and took adequate measures to ensure the safety of patrons during COVID. The extensive breakfast was a nice surprise as most other places only offer grab and go bags...if anything. Thank you for help making our trip memorable and enjoyable.
We thank you very much for taking the time to post this review. We appreciate your staying with us and happy you felt safe as that is our goal!Our breakfast is modified by Covid19 however; we have tried to make it more extensive that what is required of us during these trying times. We are so happy to hear that we helped to make your trip memorable and enjoyable. Please stay again when in this area. Best wishes, Acadia Jane
This is our first time to visit Bar Harbor and first stay in a Best Western hotel. We are very pleased and satisfied ,comfy beds,room is spacious for a family of 4 and perfect location,only 2 miles from Acadia National Park and about 4 miles to Downtown Bar harbor. Parking is right outside our door which is very accessible.Their seasoned staff are all very nice and helpful esp Dorine, Claire and Jill,thank you ladies! Breakfast is ok,multiple choices but are the same everyday, restaurants are about 4 miles drive though and you can do online order and pick up is easy. I commend their Covid 19 protocols,masks and hand sanitizers are in the reception and dinning area,well marked distancing too. My kids are happy with the pool which was near our room and of course the cookies every afternoon..they're the best! Thank you BW!
We thank you very much for your stay and review! We do hope to see you again in 2021...(without Covid19! )Best wishes, Acadia Jane
I stayed here for 2 nights for a weekend mountain biking trip at Acadia. The bed was one of the most comfortable hotel beds I've had in a long time. Our room was close to the road but the very quiet AC blocked any road noise. It was spotless and a quick ride to Bar Harbor or Acadia.
Thank you very much for such a nice review! We do hope you are able to stay with us again soon .Best wishes, Acadia Jane
The front desk staff was very friendly and went above and beyond to assure us of our safety during the pandemic. They seemed to be taking everything very seriously. The rooms were clean and comfy. Breakfast was still offered in a safety cautious way. I would stay here again.
We are all very grateful for this wonderful review! It will help others realize that we are taking the best precautions possible. We thank you and look forward to your next stay with us! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
I know with all the uncertainty of travel, I wanted to make sure people know that this place does it absolutely right. From when we checked in with Peggy Sue (who is wonderful) there were masks and hand sanitizers readily available. The rooms were very clean, and in great shape. Due to restrictions, the breakfast was all packaged items, and the ladies Claire and Jill were very accommodating. The breakfast was basic (cereal, fruit, coffee muffins). The location of the hotel is Perfect! 10 min drive to the Hulls cove Visitor Center, and just a few minutes more to Bar Harbor. In the other direction a few minutes was a few restaurants and a small winery. The best western staff truly set our minds at ease, and we will be back!!!
Dear rookNY We thank you very much for this awesome review! Peggy Sue, Jill and Claire are terrific ladies who give their all to help our guests get the most for their stay. In these Covid19 times, it is difficult to remove “unnecessary “items from our well-appointed rooms and not serve our guests the delicious breakfast buffet we are used to serving. We take great care in making sure everything is sanitized for our guests and that they feel comfortable with their surroundings. Please stay with us again and thank you. Best wishes, Acadia Jane
This place was fantastic. Great service. Very clean. The staff is wonderful. One of the nicest places inn Bar Harbor. Cannot wait to go back there again. The cookies are fantastic. Close to everything yet very secluded. Great pool. I cannot ssay enough good things about our stay.
Thank you very much for this great review!! I apologize for my delay in responding to it. Due to Covid19, our set-up is a little different this year but we are doing as much as possible to keep everyone safe and happy. Please come again. Acadia Jane
We stayed for 2 nights as a base to exploring Acadia National Park (it's less than a 10 minutes drive) and it was one of our best stays during our northeast road trip. The staff was very nice, cookies in the reception and s'mores making kits in the fire pit in the afternoon. The room was huge and clean, they had laundry facilities and the breakfast had great variety compared to other inns and motels we stayed during our trip.
Thank you very much for your review and for choosing to stay with us! We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay and we do hope you will stay with us again in 2020! Happy New Year!! Acadia Jane
We stayed here for one night. Location is ideal for the Acadia park visitors. The room was comfy and clean. The breakfast was nicely done, a good variety of selections. Staff was friendly. We received excellent service. We would recommend this hotel.
We sure do appreciate your recommending us to others! Thank you very much for your stay and this review. We hope to see you again in 2020! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
First time staying at a Best Western and we were pleasantly surprised. The property was well maintained. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The rooms had plenty of space, comfortable beds and large bathroom. The location is great. Within a mile of the park. And just a little further into Bar Harbor. I highly recommend this property. I will stay here again.
Dear love2travel788 We thank you very much for your stay and for taking the time to give us such a super review! Your recommendation means a great deal to us and we look forward to exceeding your expectations once again in 2020!! Warm winter wishes, Acadia Jane
Friendly and helpful staff at this motel. They welcomed us with warm cookies and popcorn. Free coffee and tea and a homey atmosphere in the lobby. Good breakfast with lots of options. Wild blueberry jam is delicious! The rooms were modern and clean. Beds very comfortable. Plenty of parking right outside the room Well outside Bar Harbor busyness so it was easy to get around..
Christine K Thank you for choosing to stay with us and we are very happy that we did not let you down. We appreciate all of the nice compliments and we look forward to your return! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
We are Best Western Gold members and, despite the rave reviews we read, we were a little leery about this property that from the exterior photos looked like an old-fashioned motel. The photos did not tell the story here. The room was very comfortable and modern-as nice as most Best Western Plus properties. The staff was friendly and attentive and the amenities special. Warm cookies in the late afternoon and at night a small fire pit out back where Adam would hand out S'more kits and long sticks to guests-a wonderful event on a chilly night in Maine. The breakfast layout was excellent. Plenty of choice and good quality food. The hotel is only a mile or 2 from the Park Visitor Center; about 20 minutes or so from the top of Cadillac Mountain and about 15 minutes from downtown Bar Harbor. We would stay there again anytime.
To have exceeded ones expectations is just about the best feeling we can get! Thank you so much for that! Thank you also for being a Best Western Rewards Gold member! We sincerely appreciate your loyalty to our brand. There are some old photos on some Web Sites that we just can't seem to have removed. Thank you for giving us a try! We are delighted that you enjoyed yourselves so and we hope to see you again in 2020. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Loved our stay! Newly renovated! Room was amazing! King size bed, large bathroom plus a walk-in closet area. Quiet. Friendly warm staff. Plenty of options at continental breakfast. Will definitely stay here again!
We are so happy to hear how much you enjoyed your stay with us! We will be looking to see you again hopefully in 2020! Best wishes to you and thank you! Acadia Jane
Was able to snag the last room at this hotel 3 weeks before we left on vacation and was expecting the worst but was pleasantly surprised. Although they had outdoor room entry, the rooms were large, clean and modern. Breakfast was more than adequate with a good variety. Location was close to Bar Harbor and the entrance to Acadia National Park. The front desk staff was very helpful with recommendations of restaurants and other things of interest in the area. Would stay again without hesitation.
We thank you very much for your stay and this review. These are great comments and we are jut delighted that we exceeded your expectations!! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
We stumbled upon the Best Western Acadia Inn accidentally. Though regulars in the Bar Harbor area, we were never acquainted with this gem. The price grabbed our attention. The location, cleanliness, staff, and continental breakfast will definitely have us returning. Kudos to all!
Thank you so much for this awesome review!! We are very happy that you ventured out of "downtown" and gave us a try! Please do come back and see us again in 2020! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
This was our second visit to the Best Western Acadia Park Inn.. We visited in 2018 and again this year. The hotel is very nice, clean and convenient. It is conveniently located on Acadia Park but not in a town. Its very close to Bar Harbor but yet in the county so you have quiet and peacefulness. There are lots of restaurants within a 5 to 10 minute drive. Bar Harbor is only about a 10 minute drive. The other Acadia Park attractions such as light houses etc.. are a short drive away. The fire pit and chairs are a nice amenity. Staff are always delightful and very helpful. When you arrive you must ask about the chipmunk, a nice pet and mascot.
LOL John! You made me literally laugh out loud about the mascot "Chippy". He does not like our new automated front lobby doors so he visits other places now than the front desk. He is a cutie and harmless. We figure if you see him it is good luck for you!! We appreciate your staying with us and the loyalty you have shown. Please come back and see us again in 2020! Warm wishes to you! Acadia Jane
Nice new facility located north of the busy Bar Harbor Village district and north of all the other hotels. It was out of the way and quiet. Great property with lots of room, wonderful flowers and very nice staff.
We all thank you for your stay and this awesome review! We are indeed 4.2 miles from downtown .Close enough to the hustle and bustle but also far enough away to be serene and comfortable! We hope to see you again next year! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
The Best Western Acadia hotel is an excellent hotel for Acadia National Park visitors and is also close to Bar Harbor as well. The rooms are clean, roomy and comfortable. The free breakfast is good as well. It is a very good value for the money spent.
Ginger V, Thank you! We appreciate your staying with us when there are so many other lodging choices in this area. We thank you for this great review and hope to see you again! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
Located about 2 miles to the gate of Acadia National park and 4 miles west of Bar Harbor. Very good value with full breakfast, afternoon snacks (cookies and smores) and 24 hours coffee and tea in the lobby. Newly renovated, plenty of parking, nice and very clean grounds and landscape. Beds were so comfy. Bathroom was new and clean. Enjoyed our stay. Relaxing atmosphere.
Beth, thank you! We are delighted to hear that you really enjoyed your stay with us and we appreciate these wonderful remarks. Please come back when in the area! Regards, Acadia Jane
I do typically stay at BWs, but this one is extremely nice. It is super clean with a very friendly staff. The breakfast is very good and they have coffee, teas, and snacks available in the lobby for most of the day. I would definitely stay here again.
Thank you Kevin! We are very happy to hear how much you enjoyed your stay with us. Thank you for your loyalty to the Best Western brand, too! We look forward to seeing you again! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
Rooms were clean and comfortable. The bathroom looked as if it had been remodeled. The beds were very comfortable & wifi was speedy. Breakfast had a great spread! Their cheesy omelets were amazing!!! Definitely would recommend this hotel to others!
Thank you so much! We appreciate all review's and especially those who recommend us! All of our rooms have been remodeled . We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
Nice area to walk around the site, lots of green space. Staff was able to get deep discounts for harbor cruises. No complaints. Short drive to Acadia park. Restaurants near. Quiet this time of year. Very nice.
Thank you very much for your stay and for taking the time to post this review for us. We do hope to see you again. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Booked this Hotel early in the year, wasn't sure what to expect,the reviews were good, but the Best Westerns in the midwest are run down. The people at the front desk said it had been completely renovated the room was great. The people at the front desk were so nice and full of knowledge about the area. I would definately stay here again if I return to the area.
That is wonderful news! We sure do hope you come back and visit the Bar Harbor area again and stay with us. We take great pride in our rooms and property and the staff takes ownership in the hotel! I am very happy that it showed! Thank you very much!! best wishes, Acadia Jane
This hotel has been newly remodeled and brings to mind a vintage motor lodge. The location is away from downtown Bar Harbor and is very quiet even though off the busy road into town. The grounds are lovely with deer sometimes grazing outside your door. The staff were very friendly and hot coffee, tea, cookies and popcorn were available in the lobby with a nice fireplace seating area. Our bedroom with two queen beds was spotless and we had a large bathroom with fluffy towels, a nice shower and loads of hot water. The bathroom had barn doors instead of a door that swung into the bathroom and a night light. A refrigerator, microwave and large flat screen TV were in the room and there were plenty of plugs for electronics. Now for the best part. The hot breakfast varied every day and there were so many hot and cold breakfast items to choose from. The breakfast area was large with a sun room atmosphere and comfortable seating. I asked why this was not a BW Plus and was told the only reason they didn't qualify is that they weren't open year round. There were also some great restaurants nearby where you didn't have to go into Bar Harbor and wait forever for a table. If you really don't like the traffic and commotion of staying in Bar Harbor this is the place to stay. It is still just a few minutes out of town and there are access roads to the Southwest Harbor that keep you away from the traffic mess in town.
Dear Katherine M, Thank you so much for such a wonderful review! We choose not to be a Best Western Plus. There are some who are not year around. We are very happy to be the original "core" Best Western however; we do supply our rooms with amenities that are of a higher scale and not necessary for a "core". Thank you very much for mentioning that and we are happy that is shows! Our breakfast is extensive and it is always a pleasure to hear such fine feedback on it as well. We hope you will stay with us again when you are in our area of Maine! Thank you again. Best wishes, Acadia Jane
We stayed here back in 2007, and spent the whole time struggling with internet access and services. This time, the hotel has had a significant renovation and is sparkling clean, nicely appointed and very comfortable. The staff, especially Dorene, is particularly accommodating. No issues with wifi or anything else. We will stay here again—but off-season, when it's a little more affordable.
Thank you! We are delighted to hear that a returning guest has found our renovations to be very nicely done and comfortable. Dorene will appreciate your comments ! She is one of those people who does not stay a stranger but ends up becoming your friend! We do offer lower rates in the off season as does all of the island. Spring and fall are awesome, too! Thank you very much for your stay and this lovely review!and we look forward to seeing you again! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
Friendly staff. Clean spacious rooms. Activities for everyone to join in. Saw some wildlife. Overall great experience. Breakfast was good. On main drag. Parking spots large. For the price of room great value for what you get.
We are very happy to hear that you found "great value" in staying with us. We sincerely hope you will come visit with us again in 2020! Thank you very much!! Acadia Jane
While the room and the location are great, the staff makes this place exceptional. In the evening Adam makes a fire for quests to make s'mores. He is a great person with great stories. He makes you feel like you are at home with family. The front desk staff is just as friendly as Adam. I would definitely recommend this place.
Thank you! We are blessed to have great staff and it is truly heartwarming to have them praised by our guests. We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay and our serene location away from the hustle and bustle of downtown but only minutes away! We love our guests!! Please stay with us again! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
My husband and I spent 4 nights last week. This motel hit the mark on all fronts. Clean rooms, lovely grounds, spotless laundry room and very welcoming lobby. Very friendly and cheerful staff. An easy car ride to Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor. The breakfast buffet had an array of offerings in a very nice separate building. I hope they consider making the transition away from the small toiletry bottles to wall mounted to help do their part for the environment. We strongly recommend this property.
Let us thank you for your stay , these lovely compliments and great review score! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us and we look forward to your returning. We have considered this wall-mount toiletry system. Thank you for sharing your support of this. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
This is a motel type hotel. Lovely clean and well furnished room. Good breakfast and very helpful staff. Easy to get to Bar Harbor where there are lots of excellent restaurants. Pirate crazy golf close by. Coffee and cakes in reception each after noon is a lovely touch.
Thank you Pudsey378 for your stay and this lovely review! We are happy you enjoyed your stay with us and please come back again soon! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
This Best Western location is excellent. It is quaint and updated and fresh. The price is a great value. This property looks like it was just opened, clean and fresh and well-appointed. The grounds are perfect. The breakfast rivals any local eatery, and at a much better value. I have stayed a lot at the competition such as Holiday Inn, Hampton, Inn, Quality Inn. This place is superior and I highly recommend it when staying near Bar Harbor.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review and score!! We appreciate your stay with us and so happy you have given us a step-up on some of the local competition!! Please come back soon! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Best feature was the new clean guest laundry room; breakfast eggs cheese not melted; room dated and small but clean, new nice shower; secure WiFi; good parking; fire pit s'mores and playground nice; office staff helpful; and grounds well maintained. It was just too expensive, we like the Best Western chain but wished we had considered local alternatives.
Thank you for your stay and this review. Our rooms have recently been redone so I am surprised they feel dated. We are competitively prices with others in the area who offer the same amenities that we offer. We may offer a few more, actually. It is good to know you found our rooms to be clean and the amenities, staff and grounds well maintained. We appreciate that! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
We were totally satisfied in staying at this Best Western. ALL the staff was very friendly, and so easy to deal with ... the breakfast is scrumptious and plentiful. That staff is awesome. Housekeeping had the room spotless and fresh. Wonderful job. The grounds are meticiously kept. Don't know when we have been to a more well kept location. Flowers were amazing...
We ALL thank you for such lovely compliments and a perfect score! Our great staff enjoy their jobs and they do work very hard. It is such a nice thing to have such an awesome review. Thank you very much and we appreciate your stay with us when there are so many choices in the Bar Harbor area. Please stay again! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
We stayed one night at The Best Western Acadia in Bar Harbor. Room was excellent, quiet, roomy, a sitting room with additional tv, very clean. Grounds were lovely too, pool and playground for children. It was convenient to town, 4 or 5 miles by car. Breakfast was great, buffet style, hot and cold items, lots of choices. Price for all we got in Bar Harbor was very good. We will stay again if in Acadia.
We are grateful that you will stay again when in this area. You stayed in our mini-suite. It is nice to have a separate area to view television and relax if the other wants to nap or watch another channel. We are happy you enjoyed the breakfast and we look forward to your next visit! Thank you very much! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
We stayed in this hotel for 3 nights, Location of the Hotel is good, comfortable bed and bathroom. Hotel facilities are very good, including Pool and good parking spots infront of the room. Staffs are very friendly especially the ladies in the breakfast area, they did a awesome job. We really enjoyed the breakfast. One thing we were little uncomfortable was with the shower heads in the bathroom, the water was not flowing properly even after doing some adjustments. May be the hotel management can look into it. But Overall we had a nice stay there. I would recommend this hotel!!!
Thank you very much for your stay, review and recommendation!! We are delighted that you enjoyed your visit with us. We are replacing a few showerheads and that may have been one scheduled. I apologize for that inconvenience. I will have maintenance check that room today! We do hope you will stay with us again when you are in this area. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
From the time we registered, until we checked ou we were treated like we were the only guests on the property. They pointed us in the perfect direction for the perfect dinner. Adam was excellent with the. Hildren and adults while all were making s'mores. He was very knowledgeable of the area and wildlife in the area. Breakfast was excellent...many choices and all delicious. I recommend this motel highly.
Patricia M ,Thank you! We love that you enjoyed your stay so much. Adam has done a great job this year as Mr.S'Mores! Thank you for complimenting him. We wish for all guests to feel like the only guests we have and we are grateful it shows!! We absolutely appreciate your recommendation to others!! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
Place is clean Has a great breakfast very nice personnel The breakfast area is new and very clean Very helpfull with recommendation for the area Have cookies in afternoon and smoors in evening would stay again
We are delighted to hear that you would stay with us again when in this Bar Harbor area! Thank you very much for stating that we are clean with a great breakfast and staff! We look forward to your return visit ! best wishes, Acadia Jane
friendly staff, nice (heated) outdoor pool, great continental breakfast, comfortable updated rooms. Came as a family trip to Acadia/Bar Harbor. Great location. lots of local food options. easy hop onto shuttle to bar harbor or park if you choose not to drive.
We are very pleased to hear that you had a great stay with us and enjoyed your visit to Bar Harbor. Please stay again soon! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
The rooms are clean and comfortable. All the amenities of home plus cookies in the afternoon with coffee or tea, popcorn in the evening or s'mores! Friendly staff and nice selection for breakfast. You can catch the Bar Harbor free shuttle just about any where from this hotel.
Thank you Karin! We are happy that you appreciated your stay with us and all the little extra amenities we love to give to our guests! We hope others will see this review and give us a try next time they are in the area of Bar Harbor! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
From the moment I arrived at the Motel I knew I had made the best choice...when I walked in the room it was soooo clean. My bed was made to perfection...I felt guilty pulling the blanket and sheets down to get in. I could tell my housekeeper (Odette)went the extra mile to make her rooms exceptional. I was amazed at how quiet it was at night and in the morning. I never heard my neighbors. Breakfast the next day was wonderful, eggs, bacon, waffles, potatoes, toast, muffins and so much more. Each day was a pleasant surprise as the hot items would change. The Staff were very accommodating and made you feel welcome. The fire pit, playground and outdoor pool were great for the kids and the nighttime snack of cookies and cocoa in the lobby were an excellent touch. I can't forget to mention S'mores by the fire pit in the evening were always delicious. I had one of the best vacations at the Best Western Acadia Park Inn. I will definitely be back.
Dear Eureka3, We all thank you for such a nice review of your stay and we are very pleased that you enjoyed all of it! Odette is a wonderful housekeeper and she takes great pride in her work. Just the kind of housekeeper we strive to employ! It is really nice to know that you slept well with no signs of noise even though we were a full house! To have helped give you one of your best vacations means a great deal to us and we thank you! Please stay again! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
We stayed 3 nights at hotel with our 2 kids (11, 13). Very clean and updated room with small refrigerator and microwave. Breakfast each morning was included and had many different items to choose from. My boys enjoyed swimming in the heated pool after a day of hiking the park. Also, s'mores each night with Adam (supervised the fire) was a treat. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful with any questions. Short drive into town (although along free shuttle route - but we did not use) and close to Acadia National Park. Great miniature golf and ice cream spot down the road! Would definitely return again.
Thank you! It is wonderful to know that you will stay with us again when you return to Bar Harbor! We appreciate your great review. Adam loves to supervise the S'Mores and delights in making our guests happy and acquainted with others. We look forward to your return visit! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
Our family visited Bar Harbor for the first time and other small towns. It is a wonderful place to visit which will not only lift your spirit, but heal the soul. However, staying at this hotel was a very somber like. On our first day we stopped in the main lobby to grab a cup of coffee after a long drive after checking in, my kids also took couple cookies that was offered. Soon after a staff stood up and tried to get into a confrontation with us about the kids touching them, as if my kids where not good enough to have them. Later that night someone happened to be right next door to us, in a separate room that was for handicapThat person would knock on the wall all night up to 1am non stop. The next morning we noticed no one had checked into that room and it stayed empty until our last night. On our last night stay we had left for dinner for my daughter's birthday, when returned that night would be become our worse stay ever. As we tried to pull into our parking spot another person drove into the same spot in an erratic fashion. Now, we had parked every night on the same spot, right in front of our hotel room, and so did everyone else. And sure enough this new guess would be staying in that same room with the handicap parking spot, but he didn't appeared to be handicap. The new guess also would pound on the walls until mid-night, and then woke up at 5am yelling and laugh in the early morning. It happened be the morning we would be checking out. We strongly believe that it was the staff members doing this the whole as to inhumane us, which was immortally wrong and unprofessional. All because of some cookies!?!?!? This review has been submitted in good faith!
Dear Alleys1 I apologize for your not having a good time at our property. I can assure you no one would go to a room and make noise to disrupt a guest for any reason. Once the office closes at 11 pm, the shift has gone home to bed. I believe it is truly odd to accuse someone for deliberately disturbing the sleep of one of our guests' over a child's hands roaming through the cookies. You are mistaken. I do not ask the ADA room guests what their handicap is nor would I. Many disabilities are not visible and I do not believe it should be questioned. Those rooms were rented every night of your stay. Our parking spaces are not numbered. Perhaps you did not notice that? There is no designated spots. People can park close to their rooms but it is not guaranteed to be right in front of their room. Sometimes you get lucky. I do wish you had called guest services and woke that night person so he could have checked into what noise you heard. Some guests are not as considerate as others, unfortunately. We received no complaints during your stay with us. I am happy that you enjoyed your visit in Bar harbor and again, I apologize for this mysterious issue you have brought to the public eye. Best wishes to you, Acadia Jane
stayed 1 night fairly close to bar harbor. not sure if it's on bus route a bus driver told me we could use bus number 1 but we didn't try it. they look to have a nice variety for breakfast but it was busy so we didn't try that either.
Thank you for your stay and review. We are on the bus route. Please stay again when you can experience the breakfast and the rest we have to offer! Thank you! Acadia Jane
This property is very hard to beat for the cost. Very clean, great complimentary breakfast and close to both the park entrances and Bar Harbor. Friendly staff, excellent housekeeping and beautiful grounds made this a great home base for our trip.
We are very happy that you really enjoyed your stay with us. We appreciate the kudo's to the housekeeping staff and the grounds staff and property in general. We try to provide the best free breakfast around and we are so happy that you found it to be great! Please stay again soon! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
We stayed here as a family with teenagers and we would definitely recommend this motel. It was spotlessly clean everywhere. The receptionist was extremely helpful and we enjoyed using the free bus to get to the busy Bar Harbor village, which meant we could enjoy happy hour and get the bus back. The pool was great and the beeswax well presented. We will definitely stay here again when back in the area.
Thank you for such a great review! We are happy your entire family enjoyed the stay, including your teenagers!! Our housekeeping department will be very pleased to have had such a nice review of their excellent cleaning skills! The Island Explorer is a wonderful way to get around without having to look for a parking space and we are glad that you found it so. We do hope to see you again! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
The total experience was excellent. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms have been renovated recently and are excellently appointed. The hotel is near Acadia National Park which was a huge plus for us. This is an excellent place to stay.
We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and the newest upgrades we have given to our guest rooms ( and property itself). We appreciate being referred to as an "Excellent hotel" and we look forward to your return visit! Warmest regards, Acadia Jane
Awesome motel stay. Super clean rooms, great front desk. Nice pool. Great guest laundry. Plentiful breakfast. Coffee/tea and cookies at reception. Kids play park, can borrow outdoor sports equipment for kids to play. Short drive to downtown Bar Harbour.
Thank you Lisa! We are happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and we do hope you will return! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
The hotel grounds and the rooms were clean. Front desk staff was excellent to work with - thank you Joel for all your help. This hotel serves good breakfast and the locaiton is close to the town center and Acadia.
We appreciate your compliments and are very proud to be a Best Western! Joel is a gem and always happy to help a guest as is the rest of the staff. We appreciate your kind words and this awesome review! Our best wishes, Acadia Jane
Clean hotel, really good breakfast. Located just outside Bar Harbor town center, close to entrance to Acadia National Park. Hotel has a small pool, we did not have time to enjoy it. Quiet rooms, convenient parking.
Rasa Thank you for your stay and review. We hope next time you stop by for a stay you get to enjoy our pool It is heated to 82* and Kevin keeps it pristine! We love our quiet "serene" setting and happy you enjoyed it as well. We are not far from downtown but far enough away to be away from the hustle and bustle. Regards, Acadia Jane
The rooms were clean and it was a great location only a few minutes fRom downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We did not take advantage of the complimentary breakfast, but the cookies and popcorn were a nice treat.
Thank you for your stay and this review! We are happy you enjoyed your stay and liked the cookies and popcorn! Housekeeping will be pleased to have their work acknowledged, too. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Upon checking in around 5 pm we met Doreen and were so thankful she was the one checking us in! There was an error in our reservation and Doreen fixed it immediately despite being sold out. She was swift, professional, and kind and good humored which made us feel at home. We are traveling with two older children and the amenities were surprising! There were free homemade cookies and popcorn upon arrival, a warm pool, and s'mores. The s'mores activity was done by 8 pm and the pool closes at 9. The rooms are easy to access because they are all on the first floor and you can park right in front of your room, the grounds are gorgeous (flowers everywhere), and everything is very clean and new! The rooms are spacious and very stylish with the trendy barn door style bathroom door. There was plenty of choices on Tv for my kids to watch and my husband was able to do his work so the WiFi was ample. The showers were nice, and the pillows and bedding were comfy. The location is very close to the Hulls Cove Entrance to Acadia National Park and only few minutes drive from town. It's actually nice being outside of town because it is so busy there in summer and it's so quiet and peaceful here. It's also located very close to the restaurant Maine Meat just down the street which is kid-friendly and offers all the usual Maine lobster fare plus bbq'd meats. Not sure if it's walking distance. We didn't eat there because we had a leftover picnic that we were able to keep in the refrigerator in our room and then pull out and eat on the big round table in our room. The benches in the room are also convenient not just for suitcase but for gathering - we had our parents with us so they were able to join us for the picnic in the room since the rooms were so spacious. The breakfast was awesome!! I am vegan and they had vegetarian beans with salsa! I was so happy! This is the most beautiful, clean and new Best Western at which I've ever stayed. The rate is worth every penny.
Thank you very much for this wonderful review! We are delighted to hear how much you appreciated even the small things! Thank you for complimenting Dorene. She is awesome and I will definitely let her know you gave her great kudos! We sincerely hope you and your family can visit with us again soon! Best wishes and again, thank you! Acadia Jane
A friend and I spent 2 nights at the Best Western Acadia Park Inn. It was a great experience! We were located right outside the park so it was very convenient to get to Bar Harbor and any locations in the park that we needed! The bed was super comfortable, the free breakfast was so helpful to fill us up before a day of hiking and biking in Acadia, and the pool was a nice perk. Overall it was a fantastic hotel and I highly suggest staying here!
Thank you so much for such a nice review and we are delighted that you enjoyed the breakfast, comfortable beds and convenience to the park entrance. We do hope that you will stay with us again soon! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Hotel was spotless! The cleanest Best Western I have ever stayed at! Breakfast was good. Workers friendly and helpful. Close to the park and shopping! I can't find one negative thing to say about this Hotel!
Wow! We certainly thank you for this review and your stay! That says a lot for our housekeeper's and all staff!! We are thrilled that you could not find any negative thing about your stay. Thank you very much for taking the time to post this awesome review for us! We do look forward to your returning! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
We can always count on Best Western to be good. The room was plenty big and very clean. Comfortable bed and pillows. Nice shower. Internet worked well. Breakfast was good. Cindy, the night manager, was very helpful. We had to call from the side of the road as we were behind schedule due to weather. She could not have been nicer or more helpful. The desk clerk at check in was also very nice and friendly. And Adam, who helped with the S'mores around the fire pit was just as nice, friendly, and helpful as could be. All made for a very nice stay!
We are very pleased that you can count on us! Best Western has strict standard that we strive to follow directly. Cindy will be very happy to know she was so helpful to you. Adam loves running the S'Mores for us and is a great ambassador to the hotel. We appreciate your loyalty to the Best Western brand! Please stay again when in the area! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rooms were clean, beautiful, and newly redone. The staff was exceptional and truly wanted to be sure our stay was excellent. This was the best hotel breakfast we had on our vacation.
Well, we sure do appreciate this review! Thank you so much. We are happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and we look forward to having you stay with us again! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
This hotel was clean and the staff was nice. Check in and check out was easy and our room was ready on arrival. It was nice to have a breakfast option on site, especially with children. However, the pool was small and old outdated.
Thank you for your stay and review. Our pool was redone last year. I apologize that it is not huge but generally it serves us well. It is doubtful we ever enlarge it. We do hope that you will stay again and our best wishes to you and the family. Acadia Jane
I'm not one to write a review but this place deserves one. Check in was easy and front desk was very helpful with things to do and see in the area. The room was clean and updated. Breakfast was fantastic, there were many choices. Check out was a breeze. Only issue I had but did not bring it up was the maid did not replenish the coffee/tea or our pool towels. The front desk was more than happy to give me more. I will definitely stay there again the next time I'm up in the area.
Thank you so much! I apologize for the lack of coffee/tea and pool towels. I am so happy you went to the front desk for replacement! We look forward to your returning for another visit. Thank you for such a nice review, especially when you generally do not give one. Best wishes, Acadia Jane
Wonderful! Great location right outside Acadia National Park. Room and bathroom were spacious with plenty of storage. Beds were very comfortable. Grounds were well maintained with flowers and greenery. Several places available to sit outside around the grounds. Laundry facilities were very clean and cheaper than other places we had stayed. Breakfast area had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and many hot and cold options that varied daily. Encountered several staff throughout our stay and all were very friendly. They provide s'mores at 6:30 nightly around a fire pit. There is also a playground area. The swimming pool was very nice with comfortable chairs. This hotel is all one level which we find very convenient. We would definitely recommend this location to anyone.
We sure do appreciate your great review and recommendation to others! It is so nice to hear that even the little things matter and that you enjoyed your stay with us. Please do come back for another stay soon! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
The hotel is sparkling clean all around. The suite was brand new, or at least looked to be so. The playground/sandpit/fire pit (with complementary s'mores) is a perfect place to unwind at the end of the day. Breakfast bar was extremely well stocked and above average quality for hotel breakfast. We will definitely be back!
Thank you very much for such an awesome review! We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay and joined in on the S'Mores! We love that you will be coming back and look forward to it! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Rooms were newly remodeled! Breakfast was great and they change it up every day. Nice location close to Acadia national park. Only complaint is the shower had poor pressure and the coffee pot was stored in the bathroom which was a bit odd.
Thank you very much for the lovely review and for your stay! I am not sure why the water pressure was not at full speed unless everyone was taking a shower at once. Thank you for your comment concerning it and we will make sure to look into that. I guess because the most room for the coffee pot is now under the sink on that huge shelf now that we have switched our TV's to 49". Some rooms do have them on desks or tables. We are happy you enjoyed our breakfast buffet! We hope you come back again when you can stay longer! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
In deciding where to stay for our trip to Bar Harbor, we chose the Best Western Acadia Park Inn because of the location and also the other reviews. We were so happy we chose this hotel! It is convenient to Bar Harbor downtown but also nice and quiet. The hotel has recently been redecorating and upgrading both inside and outside. Our room was beautiful and well appointed. The bed was so comfortable we almost were late for our booking on the Lulu Lobster boat ride! Definitely will stay here again when we visit Mount Desert Island!!
How nice to hear that you liked us so much you plan to return on your next trip to MDI! We are happy you didn't miss your trip on the Lulu as it is so much fun! Thank you so much and we look forward to that return ! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
Myself and my family of 4 stayed in this Best Western Acadia Park Inn. This Place was really convenient as it was really close to the park. We arrived earlier than our check in time, but the receptionist was extremely nice and was able to give me a room right away. Check-in took less than 5 minutes and they had everything ready as soon as I arrived. The room was clean and well maintained. The continental Breakfast was excellent and really enjoyable. The hospitality was amazing. I highly recommend this place for any type of family for any length of stay. Area is really well kept and parking is right in front of your unit.
What a wonderful recommendation to others looking for lodging in Bar Harbor and the surrounding area! Thank you very much. We are very happy that your room was ready for immediate occupancy. Sometimes it is difficult to do that this time of year! We are proud of our housekeeping,front desk and breakfast staff. It is always nice to have them know that the guests appreciate their work and their natural inclination to be hospitable. Please come again! best wishes, Acadia Jane
Wish we lived closer so we could come back more often. Amazing hotel for the price, clean, and friendly staff. Everything was top notch. Not a single thing to complain about. We loved the bonfires and s'mores each night on the property, even had deer visitors each night.
Oh! How nice that the deer came out for you. We see them often around here as they are just not afraid of people. Its great that you enjoyed the S'Mores at the firepit. That is a very popular and fun way to meet others and all the while enjoying a sweet treat you made and roasted yourself. We wish you could visit with us more often, too. Thank you for all of your compliments! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
Our stay in June was delightful, the rooms were immaculate and appeared newly decorated. The breakfast room was very nicely set up with a great variety of breakfast choices. We had a room on the front and none had screens on the windows, so my husband called the front desk and asked if they would put one on. The rooms on the back had screens and the weather was perfect for fresh air. With in 20 minutes we had a screen on, the staff were awesome, such service and so friendly. Thank you .
This was a great hotel and the staff was amazing especially Dorothy at the Front Desk. Very helpful and friendly. The rooms were very clean and the area was awespme for sightseeing. The restaurants Dorothy recommended were a ten plus rating.
Thank you very much for such a lovely review and I am delighted that she was able to assist you with some great choices for dining!! Housekeeping loves to hear kudos for their work. Thank you! Please stay with us again soon! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
Nice, clean, updated motel. Shower water pressure was poor, we had unresolved door latch issues + poor sound insulation (We could heat our neighbors tinkle/snore). Definitely a great last minute Acadia NP lodging with a good breakfast, kind staff, and s'mores in the evening + a bocce ball court.
Upon arriving we noticed a mildew smell in the room(room 115) that was not very pleasant...something akin to smelly socks. Also the walls must be fairly thin as you could hear TVs, people talking, showers and toilets in neighboring units. There was a gap at the bottom of the exterior door where light could visibly be seen pouring in. We brought the smell to the attention of the front desk and the manager came to our room, sniffed around, and said she didn't smell anything however she was(perhaps conveniently) not sensitize to sounds or smells. The entire hotel was booked and there was not another room available...she offered to put baking soda on the carpet but aside from that there was nothing else she said she could do. The only reason I am writing this review is to warn other fellow travelers that are sensitive to smells and sounds to think twice before paying the relatively high prices this place charges while offering just a basic room. To be fair, the hotel was being newly painted and was recently renovated however this appears to be just a surface layer improvement to a building that may have likely needed more substantive structural improvements. Also, on a positive note, the front desk was friendly and helpful with suggestions for the park and restaurants. So, I'll let you decide...maybe it was that particular room...or maybe your not that picky and your stay will be fine but either way I wish you an enjoyable visit to this paradise known as Mount Desert Island!
Thank you for your review and for your stay. I do apologize for any odor that disturbed you. While we have had an over abundance of rain here in Maine, we do not allow our rugs to be come wet., We have always maintained our property and have this year put new roofs on every building and installed new furniture and rugs which is what I believe you smelled. (The newness of it). Our housekeeping is above average and we all take pride in our rooms and property. We feel our rooms are not basic. Considering the new renovations to not only our exterior, but our furniture, rugs and 49" televisions, microwaves and personal safes, we offer a rate below many of our competitor's. Please know that we will always take care of our new guest rooms and strive to provide the best of everything for our guests. We are happy that you enjoyed our staff and MDI while here. We do hope you will give us another try in the future. Best wishes, Acadia Jane
We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and we had a very good stay. The room is spacious with very comfortable beds and the bathroom is huge. The outdoor heated pool is very nice and refreshing! The breakfast goes from 6:30 to 10:00 and was very delicious. However the hotel is a little far from town and the walls are very thin. When we were trying to sleep you could hear people talking or water running. Overall this is a very nice hotel and would definitely recommend it.
Thank you very much for the recommendation and for your stay. We are very happy that you enjoyed it! I apologize for any noises that disturbed you. I will be checking into that. Please stay again! Best wishes! Acadia Jane
We stayed for three nights during a 6 week trip and this was one of the top three hotels we stayed at. It is a great location for Bar Harbor and Acadia with reasonable rates. The stay is friendly and helpful. The rooms were a good size, comfortable and quiet. We got great nights sleep and the breakfast was very good. It was varied, changed daily and well maintained. They also had a nice supply of Whoopi's pies and cookies in the late afternoon. My only two small issues is that during day two, the hot water in the shower was never hot and the printer in the business center never worked.
Thank you for your stay and review. We have called Tech support to repair or replace the business center printer and I apologize. I am not sure why you did not have hot water but I am definitely on it! Thank you so much! Please stay again and give us another try. Best wishes, Acadia Jane
This hotel has very fresh and modern rooms. Looks like it was recently remodeled. The staff were top notch, attentive, and very friendly. The man who checked us in made us feel very welcome after a long trip. The breakfast was also fantastic. We will be back!
It is always wonderful! to hear from a guest that they will be back! Awesome! Thank you so much. Yes, we have remodeled all rooms and finishing the exterior. Best wishes, Acadia Jane
It was very clean and very nice rooms!! Very comfortable and relaxing!! There breakfasts are always good. The front desk staff were very helpful on places to eat and to check out! Nice and quiet. Will stay there again if I go back. Only down fall you are still out of town 4-5 miles. But they have many options for taxi services if you want to enjoy the night life!
Thank you for taking the time to post this super review! The Island Explorer bus service will be starting late June until mid October. This is a free service which helps everyone and extra special for those of us not downtown. It is a wonderful service and runs everywhere on MDI and over to ANP's Schoodic Point in Winter Harbor. We would love to have you visit with us again. Best wishes, Acadia Jane
Excellent stay at this hotel. Very well cared for. Clean as could possibly be, bed comfy, peaceful and quiet. Very spacious. Staff very friendly and helpful. Best breakfast we have had on this road trip. They had plenty of staff to keep everything topped up and the tables cleaned as each guest left. We will be back without question.
We all thank you for such a wonderful review of your stay and we certainly look forward to that return visit!! We are delighted to know that we had the best breakfast on your trip! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
We visited the area just before the Memorial weekend. There weren't that many people yet so it was nice & quiet. Our room was facing the main road but we did not hear traffic. The property was newly remodeled so everything was updated & clean. The complementary breakfast was really good - they even had gluten free breads! We left a pair of sweatpants after we checked out and house keeping found it & the hotel mailed it to us on Seattle without charge! We would go back there again
Dear Paula L Thank you and we are very happy that you enjoyed our clean, updated rooms and property. We try to offer something for everyone in our and gluten-free options are a must nowadays. We hope you enjoy the rest of 2019 and that we see you again soon! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
Very clean room, lobby and breakfast area. Excellent WiFi connection. Hotel is close to downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia Park. We like the food selection for breakfast. We highly recommend Best Western Hotel in Acadia.
Thank you very much Michael B. for this awesome recommendation! We hear guests say they enjoy our serene setting away from the hub--bub of downtown but close enough to that and the park. Housekeeping strives to keep things as clean as possible and happy to hear they have succeeded. We look forward to your return! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
We spent a week at the Best Western and we would absolutely stay here again. The location is ideal. It's close to Acadia National Park and to downtown Bar Harbor, a major plus. It was almost like home returning to our room after a long day of hiking, it just felt so comfortable and relaxing. We were also impressed with the staff (day and evening), everyone we encountered were extremely friendly and helpful.The breakfast was very nice, with plentiful and various options each day. We also enjoyed the complimentary coffee and tea available all day in the lobby. The free wifi was also a nice perk. Best Western offered everything we needed for an enjoyable vacation.
We sure do appreciate this awesome review! We are so pleased that you found us to be all that you were looking for in lodging. We do hope you will stay again and thank you for this wonderful review! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
My husband and I greatly enjoyed ourself here at Best Western Acadia. It had a campground feeling to it, bringing back fond memories. Surrounded by trees and away from the city. Would definitely recommend this hotel/motel.
Thank you very much for this awesome review. We feel it is very tranquil here and we are happy that you found it so. You recommendation is much appreciated. We look forward to seeing you again. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
We traveled from the midwest, through New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire to get to Bar Harbor, ME. Acadia National Park was our destination but the Best Western was our choice of hotels and I'm so happy we chose it. I made reservations for two rooms several months ago and they were very helpful through emails. Unfortunately it was raining when we arrived later in the evening but we were treated with friendly check-in staff. They offered us cookies and some hot tea and that was nice and comfy. Our rooms were great. Nice sized and the beds were comfy. We all had a good night's sleep. The bathrooms were nice size too. We used the laundry facilities which were in the process of being renovated. They have two washers and dryers available which is nice if there are several guests needing to use them. Breakfast was available in a large dining room and it was very good. All in all we were very pleased with our stay here and definitely use it again if we ever get the chance to come back.
We all thank you so much for such a glowing review and compliments! It is an honor to be your favorite out of all the hotels you stayed at on your eleven day vacation! We sure do hope you are able to come back and stay with us again. Best wishes and warm regards, Acadia Jane
The hotel looked newly remodel. Excellent breakfast. Very friendly staff. As a best western member, the best reception gift I have received. We would definitely stay there again. Not far from bar Harbor and the park
Donna Thank you very much! We have indeed remodeled the rooms and added the enclosed laundry on the back of the lobby building. Our porte cochere will be complete as will the painting of the buildings by the end of May. We appreciate your comments and compliment's and so happy you enjoyed your gift! Please stay with us again soon! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
Close to hiking opportunities in the park. Complimentary breakfast open at 6:30, which has both hot and cold items. After hiking all day, I would grab a complimentary cookie and tea from the lobby to enjoy in my room. Very clean rooms. My husband and I have stayed here twice and most likely will keep returning.
Thank you both so much Janet for your loyalty to The Best Western Acadia Park Inn! We look forward to your next visit!! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
The hotel is about 10 mins from town center. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The room was well decorated. Only drawbacks - imperfect bathrooms and thin walls (you can hear your neighbors peeing and snoring)
Thank you very much for the perfect score and accept our apologies for the noise you encountered. Noise is something we want to reduce. Please stay again. Acadia Jane
We were pleasantly surprised at how friendly the front desk staff, housekeepers, and breakfast staff were. Rooms were recently renovated. Internet Access also worked flawlessly. We can't wait to return to the area and this hotel! :-)
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. It is always wonderful to hear that a guest can't wait to return to stay with us again! We look forward to it. Best wishes, Acadia Jane
This hotel is a perfect distance from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Even though it's on the busy thoroughfare, the rooms were quiet. We enjoyed the fire pits and the grounds are well-kept. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The breakfast was great! Variety each day, restocked often and with plenty of seating. This was a great deal and would've stayed longer if time allowed.
We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us! We invite you back and please stay longer! You will be pleased with the exterior changes we have made over the winter and our new lobby ,entry and guest computer business center. Thank you very much! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
I have nothing but good things to say about this hotel! Don't let its unassuming exterior fool you. The rooms are newly renovated -they're very clean and tastefully done. And the beds are soo comfortable!! The property is surrounded by woods, which is perfect for the location. The breakfast building is like a little restaurant with a full breakfast buffet - delicious. We also really enjoyed the afternoon coffee/tea and sweet treat that was provided daily. All the staff were extremely courteous and accommodating. They were also very knowledgeable about the island and Acadia. This hotel is in close proximity to Acadia, making it very convenient if you plan to spend time there while on the island.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review of your stay! I am delighted to tell you we are having an exterior facelift as well. Our whole property will be refreshed.The porte cochere, business center, guest laundry and lobby are being remodeled as I type. It is great to know you slept well and enjoyed your stay with us. Please stay again this season! Warm wishes, Acadian Jane
This hotel has a friendly staff and is a great value. We arrived after the front desk closed; not only were the after-hours instructions easy to follow and our key easy to find, the note that accompanied our check-in materials clearly showed the staff here cares about their guests and hotel. We'd happily return.
We are delighted to know that you found The Best Western Acadia Park Inn to be a great value and would stay with us again! We hope you will as you will be delighted with the new renovations concerning our exterior now that all of our guest rooms were completely remodeled in 2017-2018. We look forward to your return. Many wishes for a great new year!
My sisters and I stayed here on our trip to Acadia National Park and we really enjoyed our stay. The front staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms were very clean. The breakfast selection had a nice variety. The location was perfect for either going to the park or going into downtown Bar Harbor. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others!
We sure do appreciate your recommendation to others and thank you for your stay and these wonderful words of praise! Please come back in 2019. We have made additional improvements in our property and can't wait for you to see them! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
I stayed here in October, it was beautiful, I love this best western, the location is near one of the entrance for Acadia national park, the free breakfast is very good and convenient. I can't wait to go back.
Thank you very much for such a glowing review! We look forward to seeing you again in 2019. Wait until you see the improvements we have made to our exterior! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
My family and I stayed here for a vacation. We were here for three nights before heading south to Portland, ME. We arrived at the Best Western late due to unanticipated delays, but the staff were very accommodating. They made me and my family feel very welcome. The location was great for visiting Acadia National Park and downtown Bar Harbor. The continental breakfast was also yummy. We would definitely stay here again!
It is always wonderful to hear from a previous guest that they would definitely stay with us again! We look forward to seeing you in 2019. You must come back and see the exterior changes we are making. Best wishes, Acadia Jane
Stayed here twice on two separate trips to Bar Harbor Maine. This is a nice hotel close to Acadia National Park. Staff is friendly here and easy to check in and check out. They renovated since the last time I was here...to give a little more space in the bathroom. there is now a sliding door to give the full length of the bathtub to the sink. In the main office, there's coffee and tea, and cookies to welcome you...also every day til they run out. There's also popcorn too. Don't forget S'mores 6pm-7pm ET daily was well by the playground. Free parking, wi-fi and continental breakfast during your stay. Beds are comfortable. Wi-Fi can have a weak signal at times and tv channels are a bit limited...but who stays in the room all day right? The room rates are good compared to staying within Acadia Park itself. AAA members go a discount rate and also sign up for Best Western membership as well to get points towards your next stay.
We are thankful to you for your loyalty! We are renovating the front entrance and lobby this year and hope you will be back to see those improvements,too! We love to sign guests up for the Best Western rewards and giving them a discount! We are happy that you enjoyed your stay and thank you for this review and your stay! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
My husband and I stayed 5 nights in July 2018. It is located on a quiet section of the highway leading into Bar Harbor. It looks like a drive-up motel of yesteryear, but each room has been beautifully renovated. The breakfast buffet is plentiful, has lots of space, and is well-tended by some delightful folks. It was such a peaceful stay! There is a great BBQ joint a very short distance down the road. Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park get VERY crowded in the summer. We were there June 10-15 with very low crowd. The motel staff said the next week it would start being crazy crowded.
Thank you! we are happy you came a little earlier than most and enjoyed the off season rates as well as fewer crowds! We appreciate your staying for five nights and we are happy you liked the interior changes that we made to the guest rooms. We are doing exterior renovations even as I type this. We are very exited to show off our new look come spring 2019. Please stay again and have a lovely winter! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
I stayed here in September 2016 and loved it so much that my daughter booked me a weeks stay as my birthday gift this year. Everyone - from the reception desk to the housekeeper-- was friendly and helpful. The rooms are beautiful-- they had been updated since my last visit-- and contain all the conveniences one could ask for. For me, however, the best thing is the bed. Just incredibly comfortable and cozy with luxurious, warm ( but lightweight) bedding. I can't wait to visit again.
We are delighted to hear this! How wonderful of your daughter to give you a weeks stay with the Best Western Acadia Park Inn (for a second time, too!) On your next stay you will enjoy a brand new lobby,entry and changes to the exterior of our guest buildings. We can't wait until you visit again, too! Thank you very, very much! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
Don't let the outside of this place scare you! It's completely remodeled on the inside and is a really nice Best western! I understand they are going to re do the outside next year. It was comfortable, clean, and the staff was very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was spacious and had 2 people working so it was always full and clean. It's just right down the hwy from the entrance to Acadia so it's very close to the park.
Thanks Debbie R! I believe the exterior changes will benefit us all. We are really looking forward to the new modern lobby, also! We sure hope to see you back in 2019! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
For a location about 10 minutes from Bar Harbor you get a much lower rate for a very good motel. The place was full both nights we stayed there, yet everything was quiet. Our beds were excellent, there was a full breakfast with the best crispy bacon ever, and the receptionist gave us some good tips on where to go and what to do. This is a quality property that we will stay at again.
Thank you HankNDotty! We look forward to having you visit with us again. We appreciate your taking the time to write this lovely review for us! Warm wishes to you both! Acadia Jane
My hubby and I stayed here this past week. I was not happy when we pulled up because this Best Western looks like a old tim drive up to the door motel. Don't let that scare you! It's been totally remodeled on the inside and the rooms are very nice and the usual high standards of B.W.chain. The location is great and the breakfast was the usual B.W. fare but had two people taking care of it and keeping it clean and full. This was one of the nicest Best Western stays I've had!
Thank you! Those remarks mean a great deal to us. We are happy to announce that we are doing exterior remodeling over this fall and winter so we will have a much more modern look albeit still a drive up outside entry hotel. I believe you will find it to be a nicer site when you drive in. Please stay again in 2019! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
I've been staying here the past 3 years for my annual photography trip and couldn't be happier. Everything from room cleanliness to a caring staff keeps me coming back. The proximity to Acadia National Park is also a added bonus for me. It's close to everything without being overwhelmed by the crowds in central Bar Harbor. All around great experience.
Thank you Brandon for your loyalty and for such nice compliments! We look forward to seeing you again next year! With warm wishes, Acadia Jane
Hotel location is a bit far from town (2 miles) and quite isolated. However, it offers travelers what they usually need and expect - a nice room, quite, and a reasonable breakfast. Room was cozy and large.
Thank you! We think of our property as being "serene"...away from the crowds and in a beautiful wooded location with lots of lawns! We thank you for your stay and hope you will come back to see us again! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Our stay at the BW Acadia Park Inn was delightful. We enjoyed the comfortable beds after a long day of touring. The popcorn was a nice touch. The breakfast was excellent .The food items were varied and plentiful. You would be hard pressed to find better menu items at most restaurants.
You have made our breakfast staff's day! We appreciate your compliments. Thank you very much for such a nice review and for your stay!! Regards, Acadia Jane
A large room with 2 beds. There was a microwave and a small refrigerator. Staff was very nice and friendly. Breakfast was extensive with 4 cereals, oatmeal, bagels and crème cheese, eggs, waffles, apples, muffins, yogurt. It is 2 ½ miles to the Acadia NP visitor center and about 7 miles to Bar Harbor. It was an enjoyable stay.
Thank you ! We are happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and we hope you come back again! Best wishes, Acadia jane
I was impressed with this hotel. We always try and stay at a Best Western. Customer service was great, from hot chocolate and cookies in the lobby to popcorn later. After a day of hiking, this hit the spot. Beds were comfortable and there was very little noise from rooms above you since everything is on one floor. Breakfast the first day was great and the 2nd day was good just something different than the day before. Very close to Acadia N P.
Thank you for taking the time to write this marvelous review and for your loyalty to the Best Western brand. We are happy that you enjoyed the little extras we provide and that you slept well! We look forward to your return! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Good price for:- clean beds- nice room- excellent breakfast (much better than average continent breakfast)- good wireless internet- close enough to Acadia National Park (3 miles) and downtown Bar Harbor (7 - 9 miles)
Thank you! We are happy that you found our breakfast better than the average, our rooms clean, beds comfortable and our Wi-Fi good!! Please stay again and have a great winter! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
Staff was very pleasant and helpful. They gave us directions and a map of the construction area in Bar Harbor. They also recommended several area restaurants. The Inn is just a short distance from the entrance to the Acadia National Park and the activities in downtown, without being in the busy downtown area.
I really went back and forth trying to find a place for our October visit knowing it would Be cold and kind of off-season. I wasn't interested in roughing it and this place was great. Conveniently located right off of route 3 and our room was recently renovated and very nice. We were very pleased overall and they had the best free hotel breakfast I've ever had. Leave a tip for the breakfast staff because they deserve it! Dean at the front desk was so patient and informative even though I'm sure he's given out the same info a million times. I would definitely recommend this place to other visitors. My only complaint is that our room fridge didn't work properly and we had to throw out food that we had purchased. We spent three nights here.
Jody A, I apologize for the refrigerator issue. I do wish you had told us as they are all new (under warranty) and if we had known, we could have replaced it for you. I am very sorry!! Thank you for complimenting Dean and for truly enjoying and appreciating the complimentary breakfast and the staff! Your recommendation to others means a lot to us. We are happy you were able to enjoy Bar Harbor for three nights! Please come again. Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
The location was ideal for the hiking trip we planned to Acadia National park. Good, hot breakfast options were available daily. Comfortable beds, free wi fi and evening s'mores were a treat to return after a long hike. Would stay here again when we return to the area.
We sure do look forward to your return visit! We are very happy also that you enjoyed the S'Mores in the evenings. That offers an opportunity for our guests to mingle and share ideas on what to see the next day all the while enjoying a sweet treat! We thank you for your compliments. Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
Our decision to stay at the BW Acadia Park Inn was indeed a winning choice. Pulling in it to well maintained grounds and being greeted so professionally, it was easy to see the pride taken by the staff. Our room was clean, well appointed, modern and extremely comfortable. The large room featured a mini-frig, microwave, coffeemaker, safe and wonderfully comfortable king size bed. The bathroom was was updated and lacked nothing that was needed. We were very impressed by the breakfast! There were plenty of choices and most impressively, the sausage was grilled rather than the blonde unappetizing stuff you get a most hotels. The fact that the hotel is a few mile from downtown wasn't really a problem. This was a great value.
What a great review! We all thank you very much for it and we appreciate your staying with us! We look forward to seeing you again in 2019!? It makes our day to be referred to as a great value and "winning choice!" Warm regards, Acadia Jane
My husband is a landscape photographer. We booked a week in Maine to shoot fall foliage and small fishing villages and the like. We located this Best Western and booked months ago. I was really impressed by the genuine warmth of the staff, the ever-ready hot beverages and the great cookies put out, fresh from the oven, at 3:00. It was damp and rainy for most of our time, but sitting in the office workspace in front of the fire was more pleasant than sitting at the table in our room. And the breakfast included in our room rate was amazing. Hot entrees, fruits, cereals, many bread options and excellent coffee was a great way to start every day or come back for after photographing sunrise in the park.
Dear Denise, We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and took advantage of the warmth of the lobby fireplace, cookies and beverages! We want our guests to be as comfortable as possible and feel as welcome here as if you were our own personal guests in our home. We are delighted that you enjoyed the variety offered at breakfast. Hopefully you will come back next year and the weather will be more agreeable. Thank you! Regards, Acadia Jane
My wife and I stayed a week in Oct 2018.. Very clean, very nice staff, very good breakfast. Very helpful with where to eat or visit. We would stay here again and recommend it. Very quite and comfortable.
Went to Bar Harbor for a few days . We stayed at the best western Acadia. It was a great place to stay. The pool was still heated on oct 7, 8, 9,. the room was adequate. The front desk people were exceptional and very very helpful . The breakfast was very tasty and war. We spent 2 nites there. No complaints at all. Getting into town itself was the difficulty we had. With all the construction, Patti J
Thank you Patricia! We appreciate your staying with us when there are so many lodging choices in this area. Our pool is guaranteed to stay open throughout Columbus Day and we will keep it open a few more days if the weather holds good. We are very pleased that you had no complaints with us at all. Please stay with us again in 2019. We will have a new look! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
This is one of the nicest Best Westerns I've stayed in. The staff was wonderful. Great coffee and cookies in the lobby. The breakfast was excellent and the breakfast room was large and clean. The room was larger than most and the bathroom was enormous! The room was new, clean, and comfortable. Even the grounds were very well kept, with nice flower gardens. There is also a pool and laundry facilities.
Brian, We thank you very much for this wonderful review of your stay with us! We are happy that you enjoyed your stay and our amenities. We look forward to your next stay! Next year our porte-cochere, lobby and building exteriors will be updated as well as the rooms! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
My husband, 10-year-old son and I stayed here for our trip to Acadia NP. The front desk staff is really great. They clearly cater to and love families. They light the firepit each night and give you the stuff to make smores. They hand you a puzzle book and crayons when you arrive. They tell you where deer gather on the property for viewing. The entire property is well-maintained. The rooms are clean and newly updated. The lobby feels like a comfy living room. And they not only had coffee available, but also hot chocolate. It was all really great. And we appreciated every detail. The s'mores were my son's favorite part.
We sure do appreciate such positive feedback on the S'Mores as well as the additional items like the crayons, puzzle book, hot chocolate, etc. We welcome families for sure. It is wonderful to know that you and your family enjoyed your time spent with us and we do look forward to seeing you again! In 2019 our exterior will have a new look and our lobby will keep its charm along with some needed renovations! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
Had a wonderful stay at this property. Exterior is a little dated, but do not let that deter you. I was in the area to visit Acadia National Park and stayed here four nights. The rooms appear to have been recently updated and my room was exceptionally clean on arrival and was the same way when I returned each evening, the beds were comfortable and the shower warm after a day of hiking in the park. The location is convenient to Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park and really all of Mount Desert Island. There was construction going on while we were staying requiring a detour but did not impact our stay. Good hot breakfast in the mornings, I was traveling with a friend with a gluten allergy, we really appreciated the gluten free items made available. Hot beverages in the lobby and cookies as well, I really enjoyed Whoopie Pie Wednesday! Overall, a really wonderful stay, would certainly choose to stay here again. The price was a bit on the steep side for me, however, was comparable to other hotels in the area for the time we were visiting.
Thank you Katie! We sure do appreciate your review and glad you enjoyed the Whoopie Pie Wednesday! Our exterior will be getting a facelift this winter into early spring before we open so hopefully you will find our exterior updated quite a bit by then. We look forward to your next stay! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
This building is probably an old motel, but the rooms are spacious, as is the bathroom. The bed was comfortable and the linens crisp. The did s'mores in the evening and had fresh tea, coffe and cookies when we checked in. It isn't in Bar Harbor village but about 7-8 minutes out but is only 5 minutes from the Acadia National Park information center.
Dear Coleen K, We all thank you so much for enjoying the stay with us and for letting the travelling world know that you enjoyed your visit! We are really not far from downtown, just about 4 miles. Two miles to the Acadia National park entrance and visitor center. Please stay again when you are in the area! We appreciate your patronage. Acadia Jane
This is a top notch property and the rooms were excellent. This is a great location to be able to travel to all of Bar Harbor Island. I was very impressed with the marsh mellow roasting event even thought I didn't have children with me. The bath was very modern and comfortable. The beds were very nice and comfortable. There was great convenient parking. The breakfast very good. The rooms were very affordable and a great value. All hotel/motel amenities are there.
We are delighted to hear that the Best Western Acadia Park Inn (as part of your tour) is referred to as "top notch" and "excellent!" We thank you very much and hope to see you again in 2019!! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
This BW takes clean seriously! While most locations have been remodeled as well, they slack on little details like leaving litter outside or the exterior looking drab. Here, the landscaping was neat with fresh colorful flowers, park/fire pit area was maintained and housekeeping thoroughly cleaned my room each day which I rarely have seen at other motels. I like doing my laundry on vacation but was weary because I saw they were outside and thought, gross, but they were spotless! Cleaner than my home which made my stay comfortable. Room was nice and I like the addition of a sliding door to the bathroom so I can get ready with privacy and not disturb my sleeping husband. All staff I encountered were pleasant and overall great stay!
We all take pride in our property and happy that it shows inside and out! Thank you very much for your stay and this review! Please stay again. Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
My group of 8 women were looking for a one night stopover stay by Acadia. We did not know what to expect since this appeared to be an older motel from the exterior photo. To our delight, the rooms, the staff, the breakfast, far exceeded our expectations...you can trust the online pictures and description in this case! I would happily give this inn 5 stars!
Thank you so much and share our gratefulness with the other 7 ladies!!! Next year when you come back (here's hoping) our exterior and lobby will be much more updated and spacious! Thank you, again!! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
The exterior leaves a lot to be desired compared to the cute, quant, New England style you may be looking for but the inside smells new, is spacious and the beds are to die for. Rooms are quiet. Staff is very nice & they have cookies in the afternoon. Not too far from town or the park but you will have to drive. We would stay here again.
Thatnk you very much for your stay and this review! You must come back in 2019 to see the exterior renovations we will have complete by then! We begin October 21st. with the remodeling! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
Just fantastic. Convenient to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, but not in the hustle and bustle of town. First-rate breakfast with fresh, hot, real food. We appreciated the homey touches like fresh popcorn and cookies in the lobby. Very friendly, helpful staff, who were prepared with local maps and a storehouse of knowledge about the area. We loved our room in Building 3, facing the pool -- spacious, high ceiling, very comfortable bed to collapse into after our long days rambling around Acadia. Consistently immaculate housekeeping for all four nights we spent here. We had perfect weather for our visit, so a short stroll to the ice machine and the breakfast room didn't pose any problem at all. Great experience! We would happily stay here again. We would recommend this place to anyone who is most interested in hiking the Park but also wants to see Bar Harbor.
Wow!! We sure do appreciate your staying with us and for this awesome review!! We have built a new "house" for the ice and vending near the pool so next time you will find it an even shorter walk! Apologies for that! We are delighted with your recommendation to others and we eagerly look forward to having you stay again! warm regards, Acadia Jane
It is not located at Bar Harbor downtown. It is about a few miles away. But it is on the major roadway to downtown. It is only 10 mins drive to Arcadia visitor center and downtown. I prefer to stay away downtown to avoid traffic and tourist trap restaurant. There are some good lobster pound close by. Hotel check in was easy. I parked the car right in front of our room. We had a suite which was at the corner. Suite has one king and 2 full beds. The suite is ok size. Decor is modern. Beds are clean and comfort. The bathroom was clean also. My two teens slept in a small rooms which had 2 full beds. Those were comfortable. But beds only fit 5'8'' (I think) cause both beds lie against each other. If you are tall, forget about those. Breakfast is very good. It has varieties of choices. Dinning area is clean and spacious. I highly recommend to stay here. The price was little bit pricey for this type of hotel. But high season is norm.
Thank you very much for your recommendation and for staying with us when there are so many lodging choices in this area! The "suite" is actually a family room and it is probably not as comfortable for adult sized people as children as you can attest.The beds are twin sized. Please stay again next season as we are changing the look of the exterior of the property and we are very excited to see it completed come spring 2019. Best wishes, Acadia Jane
Clean, friendly staff, quiet, relaxing. Nice touch with a fire at night and s'mores. A few miles from Bar Harbor but worth being out of town. Would highly recommend this facility to anyone visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.
We very much appreciate your recommendation to others! We are pleased that you enjoyed the S'Mores and our relaxing atmosphere here at the Acadia Park Inn! We look forward to seeing you again. Warm regards, Acadia Jane
We spent five nights at this motel and we were very happy the whole time. The room was exceptionally clean and the grounds are beautiful and very, very quiet. The bed was so comfortable and the breakfast was really good. The location was perfect for us--close to both Acadia and Bar Harbor. The front desk staff was very helpful and answered all of our questions.
Thank you! Housekeeping works hard to make this place shine and they so appreciate your comments! Our gardener and maintenance men also are happy you found the grounds to your liking! The front desk staff loves to give advice (when asked) and to help to ensure you have a great time on the island. Please do return in 2019! We appreciate your lengthy stay with us. Best wishes, Acadia Jane
This is a very lovely, quaint hotel nestled in beautiful trees of Bar Harbor. It is a fantastic location with exceptionally clean rooms! I love this place!! The breakfast area was a lovely building and all the staff were very friendly and accommodating! And providing smores at a campfire is a fantastic idea!!
We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and thank you your compliments!! Please stay with us again next season!! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
We stayed two nights September 13-15. My husband, son and I had a great stay. Great clean room close to the Acadia State Park. The continental breakfast was also good. There was something for everyone. I would highly recommend this place for its cleanliness and value.
Jazzykin, We sure do appreciate your recommendation to others and your stay with us. We hope we can count on seeing you again in 2019! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
I got a pretty good deal on this motel ($179/nite) & I got what I expected. I didn't expect the Bar Harbor hotel & I didn't expect it to be in the heart of the village but it's less than 10 mins away & less than 5 mins from Acadia Nat. Pk. From the pictures online I could see it was a motel style structure so it's "motor court" like ambiance was OK. This is not a resort like facility & the room we had was typical of any decent motel you can find all over the U.S. Above all, the room was clean, especially the bathroom. The bed was comfy too. The free breakfast was also generic but served it's purpose. If you've had free breakfasts at other chain motels you'll find this one very familiar. There's really nothing to recommend nor disqualify a recommendation for this place--it's nondescript, utilitarian with no frills except it's location to Acadia Nat. Pk.(It does have a heated pool) It is clean & well maintained however & that counts for a lot. Yes, for $75-$100/nite more you can get a little luxury but this BW Acadia Inn is fine considering you will most likely be in the park or shopping/eating in Bar Harbor & not lounging around the Inn.
Thank you for this review and for staying with us when you visited Bar Harbor! We do hope you will stay with us again! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
We picked this motel in 2012 from online reviews as it was our first trip to Mount Desert Island. It exceeded our every expectation. With that experience we looked forward to visiting Acadia Park and staying here again. I realized halfway through our 8 hour drive to get to MDI that I hadn't checked recent reviews. It had been 6 years and things change. It is hard to believe, but this place got better. The room was just as clean but newly renovated. The breakfast area got bigger and the food choices were even bigger and better. The whole place got even cleaner (my wife didn't think that was possible) and this has become our second most important reason for making the 8 hour trip to visit Acadia Park. Our family is pretty sure we have seen and done everything we want to do in Mount Desert Island and yet my wife and kids want to come back to stay at the Acadia Park Inn just because the beds our so comfortable, the breakfast is so good and the staff so nice and professional. This facility should be used by Best Western to train staff how a motel should be. The price is not cheap but is most definitely a bargain. I honestly couldn't think of anything that needed improvement. Great stay, great room and wonderful staff.
Wow! Thank you so much!! We are all delighted to read this awesome review of your stay with us. We thank you so much for your loyalty and very pleased that you have found the improvements we continue to make pleasing to you and your family. We are excited to say we will be making exterior renovations as well over this winter. Our new lobby and porte-cochere is something new for you next time you visit! Thank you again!! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
This hotel is a little north of one of the entrances to Acadia National Park and a little further north of downtown Bar Harbor. You would have to drive to both and parking in Bar Harbor can take some patience. The set up of the hotel is one where your door leads directly outside which seemed to be very common and wasnt issue but is a heads up for anyone expecting a larger hotel setup. Overall we have no complaints, nice room, comfy bed, nice staff and would recommend
We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay and we appreciate your recommendation to other potential guests! We are 2 miles to the Acadia National Park entrance and visitor's center and 4 1/2 miles to the downtown waterfront. We do have convenient parking outside your door (or very close to it). Thank you very much! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
We made a last minute decision to visit Acadia National Park. When looking for hotels, most were out of my price range or all booked up. I found the BW with a vacancy and in my price range. I was a little worried that having a vacancy was a bad sign. Also the web site pictures were not easing my worries. But once we got there all worries were for not. The website looks like there are just a few rooms facing the road. But really there are several sections behind the main office. Check in: check in was very smooth. Everyone I spoke with at the front desk was extremely helpful. At check in they when through all the amenities at the hotel - pool, smore pit, breakfast area. And since there was road construction, how to return to the hotel through the detours. Amenities: Breakfast was very good every day. There is a wide range of items from scrambled eggs to cheese omelets, bacon or sausage, sausage gravy and biscuits, make your own waffles, oatmeal with all types of toppings, cold cereals, muffins,.. I am sure I missed something. But the point is this is a great breakfast offering. The pool is nice, a little small and didn't feel heated to me. I did take a dip every day and it was refreshing. In the evening, there are cookies and popcorn. I did partake of those and they were good as well! Rooms: there are several sections of the hotel behind the main office. We were in room 417 which was at the end of one of the sections right behind the main office. Easy to find and parking right outside our door. It was very quiet as well. The rooms were recently remodeled. They were lovely inside. The bathroom was quite large. The sink is enclosed with the tub and toilet. There are plenty of towel rods, which I like so that I can hang and reuse my towel. There were separate pool towels for use as well. All the linens - towels and sheets - were soft and nice. The beds were very comfortable. If you want the busyness of Bar Harbor, then this is not for you. If you want quiet, easy access to the park, lovely room, amazing service and wonderful breakfast then stay here. We'll be back.
Thank you very much for this incredibly detailed and wonderful review! We are remodeling the face of the hotel and lobby this fall now that all 96 guest rooms have been updated and modernized! We are excited to see the finished results come spring.We are very happy to know that you found everything to your liking. We are proud of our breakfast offerings and happy you enjoyed them. Our outdoor pool is heated to 82-84*. It probably is small compared to many but refreshing and not generally crowed.Thank you for your stay and for taking the time to write this for us! we sincerely hope to see you again soon! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
It was a cozy stay at the Best Western Acadia Park Inn. The hotel was situated at a convenient location, close to the Acadia National Park entrance and Bar Harbor downtown. The hotel amenities were good. The complimentary breakfast had a good selection of choices. There were outdoor activities such as the kids' play area, badminton and evening fire pit for s'more w/ marshmallow. It was a cozy stay.
We are very pleased that you enjoyed your cozy stay with us and we thank you! Please stay with us again when you are in this area! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
We booked three nights in this hotel and extended to a fourth. We were continually impressed by the kind, helpful, and conscientious staff. The bathtub and other fixtures gleamed and from what I could tell, the cleaning staff didn't miss a single detail. The hotel had a great variety of items for breakfast and several very attentive breakfast attendants making sure that they didn't run out of anything. They had a nice-sized dining room for the breakfast, too. Our room in the rear of the hotel was very quiet. There was a small playground and the hotel even offered s'mores around a campfire every evening. This hotel is not in Bar Harbor but it was only a short drive to Bar Harbor or to Jordan Pond and most other popular parts of Acadia National Park. We would definitely stay here again.
We sure do look forward to seeing you all again! Thank you for such great comments on our hard working housekeeping and breakfast staff! It is always nice to hear from guests that we are situated in a convenient and serene setting as we believe we are. The social time at the S'Mores firepit evenings fun way for kids and adults alike to enjoy meeting new people and experience some outdoor evening fun after a long day. Please stay again soon! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
Our family had a terrible experience with a HomeAway rental and ended up leaving the house and needing a hotel very last minute. Best Western was able to accommodate our party of 6 for two of the three nights we needed. The next morning I went to ask for a third night and Joel was SO helpful. He made me less stressed about the rental and made sure we got enough rooms and the triple A discounts. And though we had to change rooms (which was totally fine) he made sure that there was a room available before check in so we wouldn't have to wait around. Great service, really nice rooms, good shower, and extremely comfortable beds (and I'm a really light sleeper)! Breakfast was a normal continental breakfast but satisfied our needs. This was a great experience and it was a good distance (about 15-20 minutes) from everything we wanted like the park and Bar Harbor. I never write reviews but the service made writing one worth it.
We are delighted to be one of the first reviews you ever wrote! Thank you so much for all of your kind comments and Joel is a gem so thank you for singing his praises! We are very happy that we could rescue you for a bad experience and hope you will stay with us again! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Perfect location if you want to stay away from the traffic and crowded Harbor area. Close enough to everything Acadia and Bar Harbor. Rooms were perfect, staff so professional. Breakfast area clean and food selection was just right, something for everyone.
Thank you! Wow! What a nice review. We sure do appreciate it and we hope you will come back again soon! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
We have stayed at this property a number of times over the years. We've seen the upgrades and the changes but always for the better. The staff is always excellent. The rooms are even nicer and the breakfast room is great especially for families with children. Very close to the park entrance. Will continue to return.
Juan, we thank you for your loyalty and we sure do look forward to seeing you again! Thank you for such a nice review. Best wishes, Acadia Jane
The rooms are spacious. There are two comfortable chairs and plenty of lights to turn on for good reading. The bathroom too is spacious, and the shower tub has several shelves and a couple of bars to hold onto if desired. The beds were comfortable. The free continental breakfast had several types of cold cereal, fruit, hard-boiled eggs, some hot food, muffins, yogurt (vanilla blend), plenty of seating at least when we were there. The front office staff is very friendly and helpful. The free Island Explorer bus can be flagged down on the road in front of the hotel for rides to the Visitor center and Village Green (in Bar Harbor) - we did this each day; from those two locations other free Island Explorer buses drive different routes to stops in Acadia National Park. The hotel is near two restaurants (Log Cabin and Mainely Meat BBQ) and Pirate Cove miniature golf. I would stay at Best Western Acadia Park Inn again.
John! Thank you so much!! We are delighted that you have given such a nice review for us and the opportunities we offer right here nearby with the free Island Explorer bus service ( late June through early October)and the restaurants less than a half mile from us. We are very happy to hear that you will stay again! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
This property is extremely clean, both exterior and interior. My room was cleaned to perfection every day. The bathroom was spotless. The bed was comfortable and the bed linens felt nice. Internet was excellent. The only problem I had were the pillows. The location is very convenient to the Park and Bar Harbor.
Thank you for saying how clean the property is inside and out! I apologize for the pillows as they were evidently not to your liking. We are regulated to use Best Western brand pillows however; we do carry a few feather ones for those who prefer them. We do hope that you will stay with us again and please request feather! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Staying at the Best Western was great. The breakfast that was included had scrambled eggs, sausage, home fries, cereal, fruit, yogurt, coffee, make your own waffles, toast, bagels, muffins and four types of juice. The rooms were clean and new. The furniture was appropriate for the room and the barn door separating the bedroom to the bathroom was cool. If there is only two traveling get a king bed.
Thank you very much for this wonderful review and for being a guest at the Best Western Acadia Park Inn! We look forward to your return stay. Best wishes, Acadia Jane
We were visiting our relatives in Bar Harbor and stayed at the Best Western again. Our room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. The pool was also nice. The continental breakfast was good too, and the staff was friendly.
Guy! We sure appreciate your loyalty to us!! We do look forward to seeing you again next year! Thank you very much for the review and great comments! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
The grounds were immaculate and beautiful. It was like we were staying in the park. Truly! We had a beautiful room - extremely clean and modern. The bathroom was spacious and completely updated. The kids thought the heated outdoor pool was very nice after a long day of hiking. While this motel is a bit out of town, it was not a long drive and the shuttle bus to town and the park stops right outside the motel! There are accommodations closer to Bar Harbor, but this place was an absolute gem and perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of town. We would absolutely stay here again, without question.
Kathleen B, Thank you very, very much!!! It always brightens our day to read such a positive review of a guests' stay. Our housekeeping staff appreciates having their work praised as does the rest of the staff on the beautiful grounds and amenities. We look forward to having you and your family stay again in 2019!! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
Nice place. I would say the first impression of the outside was not favorable but the rooms were updated and the staff was nice. Breakfast was OK. It is a bit out of town so if you're looking for affordable but willing to drive, this is a good spot to stay. We would rather be closer to town but if we return to Bar Harbor and can't be closer, we'd stay here again.
We are excited to say that our exterior will be revamped this winter and be ready by next spring! we chose to remodeled all of our guest room first for guest comfort. As you mentioned, the rooms are all updated. Our breakfast is quite well stocked with daily changes to the hot egg and breakfast meat dishes ie: bacon, pork sausage, turkey sausage, kielbasa etc. Always hot make your own waffles, fresh cooked oatmeal and a variety of fresh fruits. While we are a ten minute or 4 1/2 miles drive to downtown. We do hope you will stay again. Thank you. Best wishes, Acadia Jane
We were so happy with this hotel at the end of our eight day vacation. We stayed here two nights. The king size bed was so comfortable. The kids had their own section of the room with two twins. The room was perfect for our family. Very spacious and clean!
Thank you Tara! We do hope you will return to stay with us again. We are delighted that our family room worked well for you and your family. Best wishes to you all! Acadia Jane
Great place. Close to Acadia National Park especially Cadillac mountain. It was a little bit farther from Bar Harbor. Great room and loved the fact I could park right outside my room. The s'mores were an added extra as well as coffee 24/7!
Thank you very much and we are very happy that you had the "best vacation ever" here in Bar Harbor while staying with us! Please do come back again soon!! Our fall foliage is awesome! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
Stayed for 5 days,employees at front desk where helpful on things to do and even put ice packs in cooler overnight. Nice proximity to get in and out of acadia national park. Island explorer picked you up in front which made for easy ride to acadia or bar harbor. Breakfast was always great way to start day. Thanks to entire staff.
It is our pleasure to serve you! Thank you for your stay and this very nice review. We always strive to give outstanding service and we are delighted to hear we succeeded! Best wishes to you!! Acadia Jane
I enjoyed my time at Best Western near Acadia Park. I had a nice view of the woods. It was very quiet and peaceful. The breakfast was good. I would recommend this place for families and couples who want a quiet place to stay.
Thank you Marie S! We love our serene location just 4 1/2 miles from downtown and 2 miles to the park entrance. We are happy you enjoyed it. Please come back again soon! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
The rooms are very clean, bed very comfortable, decor up-to-date, Breakfast had numerous food choices. Hot food as well as cold-food options. It is located clos to downtown Bar Harbor. Would stay again, for sure.
It is always good to hear that previous guests "would stay again" when in this area. Thant would make us very happy. We appreciate your taking the time to post a review on this site and we look forward to seeing you again! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
Staff was very helpful and friendly. Grounds were lovely. Enjoyed the pool,the firepit and the 'smores. Breakfast was better than anticipated. Convenient to shuttle around Acadia and Bar Harbor- barely used our car at all. Overall, this was a great vacation!
Thank you for an awesome review! We are delighted that you used the Island Explorer most of the time. It is wonderful to provide you with a stay that was "great" with a better than anticipated breakfast everyday! Please stay again soon! Warm regards, Acadia Jane
When you pull in you notice that the grounds are well kept and pretty. You check in and the staff is super nice and pleasant. But you still kind of think old school motel. Then you open the door to your beautifully remodeled room. Super nice. So pleasantly surprised!! Comfy and very clean. Also an awesome breakfast wirh great selection. Easy, quick drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Bar Harbor is a little further, but easy to do. Construction on road on way back so that new route through the park at night is a bit scary, but no fault of the hotel or the area. (I overheard the gentleman at the front desk tell someone who questioned the timing of the construction explain that the can't do it in the winter!! Right?) A GREAT stay and I would recommend this Best Western to ANYONE who asked. Smores at the firepit in the evenings ... cute idea. Nice pool. We would have liked chairs near our door outside, but no big deal. We traveled through ME for 5 days and this was by FAR our favorite hotel although we paid more in a few other places. Thank you for the care and effort you take to provide a beautiful, clean, comfortable place to stay!!
We all thank you for such a wonderful review! This fall we begin the outside renovations so perhaps we look a lot less old school motel-ish. We are very proud of our rooms and the renovations we have made to all of the interior. Thank you for the great comments concerning them. Our evening S'Mores are a huge hit and children and adults alike enjoy meeting there at the fire pit and chatting with others and enjoying a sweet treat! We may at some point be having chairs outside of the rooms and we hope you enjoyed the green lawn furniture we have placed in many areas. Our housekeeping staff works hard to keep the rooms as clean as a whistle and grounds people love the compliments on their work as well. Please stay with us again! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
Spotless large room, super comfortable bed. Included breakfast but better than other Best Westerns and room kept clean in spite of other guests having no idea how to control their children. Very good location for entry to Arcadia NP. Great for a family.
Thank you Lenny! We appreciate your loyalty to us with your second stay! It is great to know that your stay was even better the second time around! We look forward to your third! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
I haven't stayed at a Best Western before but will definitely try it again after this. It's a motel style where the doors open into the parking lot but we could park right outside of our door. The rooms were sizable, very clean, and nicely appointed. Breakfast was very good and the free shuttles into Nar Harbor and Acadia stop right on the property if you flag them down. It was no problem getting a shuttle and they made the trip so easy inside of the park. Great staff, very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Nice little pool as well.
We arrived on 7/28 and stayed for 3 nights while visiting Acadia National Park. The room was spacious and beautifully renovated. The bathroom was the largest I've ever seen at a hotel. The beds were very comfortable as well. Breakfast was good with a wide variety of items. The location is conveniently located 2 miles from Acadia. The evening we arrived the gentleman who checked us in, I believe his name may have been Thomas, was absolutely wonderful. He was so kind and went above and beyond with recommendations and tips for Bar Harbor and the area. He helped us out so much, all of his recommendations were spot on. This is truly one of the most comfortable hotels that I've ever stayed in and would definitely return when visiting again. A new favorite!
Thank you so much for this review! We are very happy to be labeled "outstanding." It is truly wonderful to know that you will list us on your "favorite" list and will return! Thomas is delighted to know that you appreciated his recommendations on the area and found them accurate. Best wishes! Jane
We picked this motel based on its reviews and it was a good idea. The room was nice with only one window on parking side. The fridge and microwave were convenient. The included breakfast was okay. A good value deal so close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park entrance. Washing machines were also available. Worth trying it.
Thank you Nathalie P for staying with us and for your review! We hope you will come back and stay another time! Warm regards, Jane
Friendly, personal service. Great breakfast , Swimming pool, fire pit with smoores, horseshoes. Beds were very comfortable. Bathroom was nice and large. Plenty to do. Close to many restaurants, beautiful scenic views and lots of fun activities.
We thank you for your stay and this review. We enjoy all of our guests and try to make them feel like a part of our family.We are pleased that you felt the service you received was personal because that is what we hope for! Thanks so much and we are happy you had a great time while visiting us and the Bar Harbor area. Please stay again soon! Warm wishes, Acadia Jane
When reserving on-line for children there was no age restrictions. If it wasn't for my 2 kids being with me at check-in, I would've had a cheaper stay. But, because the staff saw that the kids were 15 & 13, I was then charged for 4 adults. This added to our overall expense. If I would have known, we might have gone to another motel. Your on-line reservation needs to clearly state the age requirements. This was the only blemish that we had with your facility.
Thank you for your stay and for this review. We do have a policy listed on our Best Western Website that states"Child Policy:Children 12 And Under Are Free In Room With One Paying Adult In Existing Bedding." When booking it asks for the number of children as well as the number of adults. I apologize if this was not stated clearly enough. I will bring it to their attention. The majority of lodging in this area do charge extra for children over the age of 12. As I recall the reservation was for two adults and we updated it upon registration, thus the rate increase. We thank you for stating that this was the only blemish and that you had a very good experience overall. . We do hope that you will come back and stay with us another time.
I can not say enough good things about this Best Western! The moment we pulled onto the grounds we could see they take pride in keeping the place neat. Then there was the friendly man at the desk. He made sure we knew all about the services the hotel offered, like free, fresh baked cookies every afternoon. And in good weather there is a fire pit out back to gather around for s'mores making. There are two washer and dryers available for guests to use (if you need detergent or dryer sheets, they have them at the front desk, as well as change). The lobby has a tv and couches and chairs and even a little popcorn maker (but if you love popcorn like I do go to Bar Harbor Popcorn). There is an ice machine too! I can't remember if there was a pool because we were only there one night. I wish we had stayed in this place the previous two nights we were in Bar Harbor. The staff here at Best Western is so friendly, so helpful and so genuine. I forgot to pack my earbuds when we left. About 10 miles down the road I remembered. So I called and spoke to Mary. Not only did she remember me, but she offered to mail them to my home. I thanked her but said I really need them on this trip. She went to the room and got them and by the time we arrived she was holding them for me! I can't speak about any other Best Westerns because I have not experienced them. But this one is fantastic! And the room we stayed in was clean and spacious too! Can't really ask for more than that!
Stopped here for the night with a group of 8 while on a motorcycle trip from Baltimore to Maine and back. Had made reservations 7 months in advance. Beautifully maintained grounds are the first thing we noticed. We arrived early ahead of check-in and they were nice enough to let us check into a couple of the rooms early so we could unload our gear because there was the threat of a storm coming in in the next few hours. So after unloading we were able to go visit Acadia Park made even easier with the map and information the hotel clerk gave us. The rooms were very clean and bed was very comfortable. After dinner and after the storm rolled through some of our group enjoyed the fire pit out back and making smores. Breakfast in the morning was terrific with a large selection of foods and located in a large room that gave everyone room without being on top of each other. Check-out went smoothly. Highly recommend and if in area again will return.
The room was totally redone and updated, huge bathroom, was extremely clean and comfy beds. The grounds are well kept, nice pool, good breakfast served everyday. It is located in a quiet area a few miles outside of Bar Harbor and close to the Acadia Park entrance. When checking in, Doreen gave us a ton of information of what to do in the area. She was extremely helpful and friendly, as was everyone else who worked there. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if in the area.
This place is spotless! From the freshly painted curbs to the clean lobby to the recently renovated rooms, we were completely satisfied with the cleanliness and service this Best Western provided. Our kids loved the nightly s'mores and fire pit, the playground and volleyball net (you can check a ball from the front desk). We loved the hot coffee from 6am-10pm in the lobby and the quiet, serene atmosphere. Breakfast was good with some healthy options like oatmeal and hard boiled eggs. Free WiFi. And super easy parking. We recommend this spot highly!!
Thank you very much for such nice comments! We appreciate the great recommendation to other potential guests as well. It is just super to know that your family enjoyed the nightly S'Mores and fire pit and that they took advantage of the playground,volleyball and badminton! We will be very happy to see you all again! Best wishes, Jane
Could not have asked for a better hotel for my families stay in Bar Harbor. The hotel is a little bit out of town but it takes less than five minutes to get to there if that is your cup of tea. The rooms are well done, clean and are modern. The kids loved the pool. The kids also say thanks for the stuffed eagle. Breakfast is well set with all the continental favorites and the ladies there make sure to take care of you. This and a few other Best Westerns I have stayed at lately are definitely improving my opinion of the chain. I would highly recommend.
JoshuaP We are so happy that we are helping to improve your perception of Best Western hotels! It is just great to know that you and your family enjoyed your stay here and we thank you very much for the stay and this review. We do hope to see you again soon! Warm regards, Jane
We stayed here four nights while visiting the National Park and Bar Harbor. Wonderful and quaint with an excellent hearty breakfast! They even have gluten free options for breads at breakfast. Good location. Nice refreshing pool. Friendly staff. Very clean. I highly recommend staying here!
We loved this hotel. I would recommend and I would definitely stay there again. Pros: Friendly staff, convenient location to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, motel style layout so first floor room with direct access to your car for easy loading/unloading, comfortable bed, clean, amazing shower, great breakfast with lots of options and a huge dining room. Heated outdoor pool looked nice, but we didn't use it. Really nice seating areas outside for taking in the sunshine or stargazing. Smores at the fire pit each night (though we weren't around during that time to participate). Refrigerator and microwave in rooms. Cons: It's a little expensive for what I am used to paying,but considering the price range in the area it's actually not a bad price at all. And it's definitely worth it. We only stayed 2 nights and didn't want to leave! I could've stayed there a whole week.
Dear angiealma Thank you very much for this awesome review! We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay so much and that you will come back again! We do hope you can stay longer next time, too! We sure do appreciate your recommendation to other potential guests! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
IWe haven't stayed at BW in years so this experience was great! Location is good, close to park, bar harbor, restaurants, roadsides are the best, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff is awesome, friendly but professional. Breakfast is the BEST!!! Full hot meals and all the usual staples of continental breakfasts and then some. There's a small area for children to play as well as an outdoor pool. Only drawback, and not a deal breaker, was a short period of time to use the firepit, geared for kids not adults...After 730. No place to sit outside and relax after sunset...
We are very happy that you chose to stay with a Best Western this time and that it was the Acadia Park Inn! We are pleased that you enjoyed all the amenities including the S'More's fire pit. It is designed to run until dusk so as to not disturb the guests in that area. We have probably as many adults enjoying it as children. We do have outside seating for sun bathing and star gazing in numerous locations but we do not have it directly in front of the rooms. We may be able to do that this fall/ winter when we do the exterior renovations. We do hope you are able to join us again next summer and see what changes we have made by then Thank you very much! Warm regards, Jane
This is by far one of the most clean and quiet hotels we have ever visited. The room was immaculate and the housekeeping staff was fast and friendly. The front staff was friendly and accomodating. They gave us a welcoming mug upon arrival! Breakfast was delicious, with the selections filled promptly. Highly recommend this hotel.
What a great recommendation!! We all thank you very much and we do hope to see you again soon!!! warm regards, Acadia Jane
We stayed two nights at this hotel. Upon check in we were greeted by the nicest staff. They went out of their way to make us feel like we were at home. They gave our kids stuffed bald eagles and a little baggie of goodies. There was coffee and cookies each night and they had smores outside by the fire pit each night. Such a nice touch. The rooms have been updated and are very nice. This is not a big fancy hotel and you cant expect big fancy things, but it was comfortable and homey. The breakfast they offer each morning is great. The ladies working in the kitchen take a lot of pride in their work and everything was well stocked, hot and yummy.
We hope you are able to come back again soon and stay a little longer with us. We are happy you enjoyed the goodies! Our staff loves what they do and we are happy that it shows. This fall we will be working on updating the buildings lobby and exteriors. We hope you will like those changes. Thank you very much! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
Rooms were very clean and bigger than expected, with individual window units. The staff was very helpful, full of good information on local hikes. Very comfy beds/pillows, great water pressure and deep bathtub with lots of hot water!!
Thank you Rebecca B ! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us. There is nothing like a comfortable bed / pillow and a deep bathtub that has lots of hot water when on a vacation! We hope to see you again soon! best wishes, Acadia Jane
Friendly front desk staff. Room had new carpet and was updated modern furniture. Has free continental breakfast and drinks. Clean bathroom. Has pool with deck chairs and tables. Playground for kids. Neighbors in next room were loud. Could hear people outside late at night. Nice hotel except for the noise.
Thank you very much for your stay and this review. I apologize for the noisy neighbors! Please, at any hotel call the front desk to complain. No matter the hotel, they will address the noise level with the offending guests immediately. We are so happy that you enjoyed the new renovations and amenities we offer. best wishes, Jane
Clean, well maintained motel near the National Park and very convenient to the village of Bar Harbor and everything nearby. Staff was really helpful. Has a breakfast (very basic but more than enough).
Thank you Harris t for your stay and review! We do hope you will stay with us again when in this area. Best wishes, Jane
On a major thoroughfare, close enough to Acadia NP but away from the crowds. Lovely grounds, very nice heated outdoor pool with umbrella covered tables and lounge chairs. With your door closed you cannot hear traffic noise??., Spacious room, clean, comfy bed and pillows. Pool towels in room. Our bathroom sink wasn't draining very well so we alerted the front desk. It was fixed in under 30 minutes??!!! Every afternoon there are fresh baked cookies: PB, oatmeal (my favorite) and chocolate chip (to die for my husband says). Laundry facilities on site; clean, efficient and affordable. Other amenities include playground, sandbox, picnic tables and grills. Excellent breakfast. Cannot go wrong here!!!
Thank you very much edieann for such a sweet review! I wish there were more than 5 stars today,too!! (smile) We are in a serene location and have lots of green spaces. We are happy that you appreciated all of that! Please stay with us again whenever you are in the area! Warm regards, Jane
This Inn resembles a motel. We parked our car in front of the room which was close to end of the motel Room was comfortable. The Inn is located away from downtown so that you need to drive to any restaurants and shops. Inn does serve breakfast, which, while nothing memorable, was OK. From what we saw in the area, this is probably a good value. There were some major road repairs going on in area when we were there. The repairs were not directly by the Inn, but made getting back and forth between it and the Acadia Park a little tricky.
Thank you for your stay and this review. Our hotel is located 4 1/2 miles from the downtown waterfront. Thankfully the construction is not near us but there is a one way coming back for everyone on Rt 3 and it takes you through a beautiful portion of the park called "Park Loop Road". The views are exhilarating! That to the entrance to the park and two miles from us. We would love to hear your suggestions on our breakfast. The menu does change daily and repeats every three days. Some days we offer bacon, or any of three types of sausage, always some type of egg, make your own waffles, fresh fruit, sweet rolls, an oatmeal station with a variety of toppings, and lots of cereals and juices. Even corned beef hash and sausage gravy and biscuits some days. We are always open to suggestions to improve it.
This hotel is reasonably priced and actually quite nice. The staff provided so much vital information when we checked in - very congenial and accommodating. The room appeared to have been recently updated, bathroom huge and very nice. The cleaning staff did a great job. Breakfast was the typical microwaved food, but convenient and a hot meal before starting the day. Not usually a Best Western fan, but the massive number of positive reviews convinced me to book and we were not disappointed.
It is wonderful to know we met your expectations! Thank you for your awesome review and we look forward to your return! Best wishes, Jane
We could. It have done better. Close proximity to Acadia National Park and only 3 miles to Bar Harbor. The room was very large . It was very clean and the bed was great. The folks at the front desk were great. Our refrigerator was not working and it was replaced promptly the next day. Very quiet and peaceful during the day and at night.
Thank you Don for staying with us for six nights! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and found us to be clean, comfortable and quiet! We look forward to your next visit! warm wishes, Jane
I stayed here recently on a midweek whirlwind trip to Acadia. Check in was quick and efficient, fresh cookies and coffee are waiting in the lobby. It was a dreary, wet day and a cheery fire was in the fireplace. The rooms are located in several adjacent buildings in the compound. Our room was clean, tidy, and welcoming. The interesting thing about this hotel is that they have a private "back yard" with a large grassy yard, playground for kids, and comfortable outdoor chairs for the adults. Nice touch! The complimentary breakfast had numerous hot and cold choices. My only complaint, the coffee comes from a push button machine and is awful......... Please, make provide real coffee (like you have in the lobby).
Dear Deepwoods Thank you for choosing to stay with us. Our serene setting is away from construction and just a couple of miles to the Acadia National Park and visitors center. We do have plenty of green spaces to relax in for sure. We are happy you found them enjoyable. I agree that our lobby coffee is awesome!! The new one we have in our breakfast is desirable to many because you can choose your strength! We would love to have you back with us again and we hope that is possible. best wishes, Acadia Jane
Room was clean & looked remodeled. Nice breakfast spread. Located on the main highway into Bar Harbor & Acadia national park. Check in & check out were quick. Staff was friendly at front desk & at breakfast. We will stay here again when we return to the area.
Paul M, it is always wonderful to hear that one of our guests will stay again when back in the area. We have remodeled all of our rooms and this fall we will be working on our exterior. We are very excited to show it off next spring! Thank you for your stay and this wonderful review! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
The lovely room, the courteous staff, the delicious breakfast - all made our stay at Acadia Park Inn one of the most enjoyable we've ever had in a BW. And the cookies are a very homey touch - thank you!
Thank you for the "Exceptional Best Western" review. That certainly gives us a great big boost for the season! We do hope you will come back and stay with us again soon! It was a pleasure serve you. Warm regards, Jane
Cozy place Clean rooms Good breakfast and a very nice experience Bed was comfortable,Checkin was quick and Check out was express. A good overall stay Would love to be there if I visit Acadia National Park again
We would also love to have you stay with us again. We are very happy that you enjoyed all aspects of your stay! Best wishes, Jane
I chose this hotel based on TripAdvisor reviews and couldn't be happier! We stayed for 3 nights with my husband and 2 kids. The staff is friendly, accommodating, treat the guests like family. The room we stayed in seemed updated and very clean! The breakfast was great. The pool heated to 82 degrees allowing our 9 year old to comfortably swim while it was in the mid-50s outside. The playground was great to keep the kids occupied. The location is conveneint for visits to both Acadia and bar harbor. My husband, our kids and I truly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone visiting the Acadia region with kids!
To have surpassed a guest's expectations is a dream come true! Thank you very much for your stay and we sure are happy that you all enjoyed and used the pool and playground, too. We look forward to your next stay! Mid-June we start our evening S'More's at the fir pit! Best wishes, Jane
Stayed 3 nights while visiting Acadia NP. Convenient to the park. Nice room. Nice breakfast. All buildings are one floor and you could park directly in front of your room door which was hugely convenient. Would not hesitate to stay there again.
Thank you Steve for taking the time to post this lovely review! We look forward to seeing you again! Best wishes, Jane
This motel was recently renovated, we stayed in a very nice and good sized room. Bed was very comfortable, nice to have a fridge and microwave. Breakfast was excellent, hot dishes varied some, but with some kind of eggs, meat, potatoes, vegetarian beans one morning, fruit, cereals, oatmeal, yogurt, breads. Gluten free bread and blueberry muffins on request, also the staff could look up other items on the buffet to check ingredients.Everyone was nice and helpful.
Lauren, We sincerely appreciate your staying with us and for this wonderful review. We do try to accommodate our guests with their specialty food needs. This fall once we close for the season, we begin exterior renovations. We hope you will come back and stay with us once again. Warm regards, Jane
I stayed with my girlfriend for a couple of nights in this hotel. And I gotta admit, I have never been to a better hotel in the US. It was very clean, newish furnitures, great price and a good variety on breakfast. Also the staff was very kind. We will definitely come back!
Leon It was a pleasure to have you and your girlfriend stay with us! Thank you so much for the great compliments! We look forward to seeing you both again. Best wishes, Jane
Stayed for multiple nights in the spring in a single king bed room and was overall very pleased with the stay. Room: The room was overall very clean, and the staff did a great job during the day when we were gone. Coming home to a refreshed and clean room was appreciated. Microwave and fridge in the room allowed us to also save a bit on meals. The bathroom was bright and spacious. Only consideration is the bathroom door which was on a sliding rail and does not latch. It leaves about a 0.5 to 1 inch gap between the wall and the door which leaves some privacy to be desired. This was not an issues as my travel partner and I are close but this is something to be considered for others. TV had lots of channels and there is also a safe in the room. Property: The property is very nice and tends to be quiet. The building we were in was set back from the road quite a bit and we never had any issues with outside noise. The lobby building was welcoming and they had cookies, coffee, and tea every afternoon for guests. Ice and vending machines are also located throughout. Location: Right on route 3, about 5-10 minute drive from Acadia NP entrance and downtown bar harbor. When we visited, there was construction on route 3 which turned a portion of the highway into one way traffic. We didn't know it when we booked but this place was before all the construction so we didn't have to deal with the detours. We passed by other places we had considered and were happy we didn't choose those. Breakfast: Great variety with a rotating option of breakfast meat, eggs, and usually potatoes. Waffle makers everyday with lots of toppings. A variety of pastries, breads, muffins, and bagels. Fruit, yogurt, and granola too! And it's all free and included with the room. Overall a wonderful way to start the day. They do have some gluten free options. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and the spring rate proved to be a great value that beat out most other nearby options including Airbnbs. I would definitely recommend to others.
What an awesome review! Thank you so much!!! We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us so much and we look forward to seeing you again soon! Warm regards, Jane
Stayed here one night for a visit to MDI, wish we had booked longer. Our room was very comfortable, well decorated, and the beds are extremely comfortable. Very clean and the bathroom is huge, love the sliding barn door, nice touch, the only thing we noticed was there was no handle or hasp on the door, but it was minor compared to how well decorated the rooms are. We had a tasty breakfast with great, hot coffee, I mean very hot, be careful, but some of the best hotel coffee we've had. The selection and quality of the food offered was excellent and the staff super friendly and polite. Anyone who chooses to stay here would think they were staying in a much higher price point hotel. The property was very well maintained and this location will be at the top of our list for future visits.
We are all very pleased that will are at the top of your list for lodging when returning to the Bar Harbor area! Thank you very much for such a nice review and awesome score. Best wishes , Jane
The motel is conveniently located on Mount Desert Island along the main highway to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The buildings are older, but the rooms have been remodeled, are up to date, air conditioned, and very comfortable. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast food selection was excellent. The only thing it does not have is an ocean view, but many opportunities for sightseeing, boating, hiking, shopping and dining are only a few miles away. Overall, an excellent value for the location.
BillH Thank you for such a great review! We are very happy to have all of our rooms now renovated and this fall we will begin on the exterior renovations & lobby. We do hope you will come back again and see what we have done. Best wishes for a great rest of 2018! Jane
My wife and I stayed for two nights at this property. We were very pleasantly surprised. By every metric, this hotel excelled. This is an old style motel layout, with several rows of rooms over a fairly large property. The grounds and building are immaculate. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are large, clean and well equipped. The king bed was very comfortable and the room was quiet (except for some air conditioner noise). Parking was ample and internet was flawless. There is a large, purpose built breakfast room that is clean and very well maintained. There is a very good selection of items. Everyone that works at this property obviously cares. It is about 2 miles from Bar Harbor, with good access to the park and townsite. I would recommend this property for couples or families without reservation!! An excellent choice!!
We are very pleased that you found The Best Western Acadia Park Inn to be an "excellent choice!!" Thank you so much for such a lovely review. We do hope you will stay with us again when in the Bar Harbor area! Regards, Jane
The staff was very friendly an helpful and even helped us find a good restaurant and ice cream shop! The room was very nice and clean and the breakfast had a large variety of options. It was definitely worth the price and I would recommend!
Katrina Thank you for this lovely review and we appreciate your recommending our hotel to others! We hope you will stay again soon! Best wishes, Jane
The staff were extremely friendly. clean room, comfy bed. The breakfast selection was awesome. Minus one star because of the thin wall. My neighbor was watching TV at 4:30 AM and it was super loud. It finally stopped when he went out at 6:30. Then the neighbor on the other side left their phone in the room. The alarm went off for an entire hour. I didn't sleep well at all.
Alessa I do apologize for the disturbances that you encountered. Thank you for your review and for staying with us. A call to our front desk is always welcomed to help end any disturbances. We do hope you will stay with us again. Best wishes, Jane
Once or twice a year I come up from southern Maine and my friend comes down from New Brunswick to hike in Acadia National Park for two days. For the fourth time we stayed at the Acadia Park Inn. Rooms are clean. The TV remote is simple to use. Room enough to play Scrabble with my friend. And the breakfast! Let me start with the amazing oatmeal with raisins and walnuts. So good, I had a second bowl. Then mini-home fries patties that were stand along good by themselves.
First let us thank you for your loyalty! We are delighted that you enjoy your stay enough to make the Best Western Acadia Park Inn your vacation getaway. We really appreciate your kind remarks and we look forward to your next stay with us! Best wishes, Acadia Jane
The property looks ordinary from the road, but the lobby, rooms, and breakfast area are very nice. Helpful staff at the front desk and a pleasant lobby that's actually inviting to hang out in (plus home baked cookies!). Not sure why the breakfast is labeled
We want to thank you for your stay with us and we hope you will come back soon. We are happy that you found us to be "not so ordinary" once you checked us out! Thanks so much. Best wishes, Jane
Property condition is pristine. We stayed in late April which is just prior to the season start. There were only a few rooms occupied. We are exceptionally happy with the Kitchen. Although breakfast food selection is standard for a motel; provisions were generous. We notice the kitchen lady staff pay extra attention to ensure a clean environment. She was literally using scotch tape to clean up any sign of dust in the cutlery dispensers! Hats off to the staffs.
We love to have our property condition labeled "pristine"! We do try very hard to keep everything clean and fresh. So happy you enjoyed breakfast and I did get a chuckle our of the scotch tape trick. Whatever it takes! Thank you ! Best wishes, Jane
All of the staff that we met at this hotel were extremely welcoming, helpful and efficient. The room was nicely decorated / furnished however the door to the bathroom was an external sliding door which did not provide the same privacy as a normal door would. The bathroom and bedroom surfaces were clean. We had a room with two beds and they seemed to have very different mattresses - one soft, one firm. There was a brown stain on one sheet and one of the beds had some small hairs, but the sheets did look fresh. The pillows could have been better. We heard quite a bit of noise from the parking lot and the road. The breakfast was extremely generous and everything pristine however it would have been nice (and healthy) to have fresh fruit for the oatmeal instead of fruit in thick syrup.
Thank you for your stay and your review. Our beds are new and now I am curious why they seemed to be different in their firmness. We do apologize for the stained sheet. We definitely try to weed out any with stains. Our pillows are Best Western brand and required. We do however, keep some 50/50 feather and down for those that prefer something else. We do offer fresh fruit. Our apologizes that you did not see that. We are finishing-up the remodeling in a few rooms and evidently you were next to some. We am very sorry for the noise. Generally we do not have any issues with road or vehicle noises. Please come back and stay again, we would love to make your next stay a 5. Best wishes, Jane
The location is perfect- minutes from Acadia park and downtown Bar Habor. The staff is very friendly and gave us great recommendations for scenic driving and picture locations! There were even fresh baked cookies out when we checked in :) (which were delicious) The beds were incredibly comfortable. With the remodeled rooms it felt as if we were staying in a quaint little cottage. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends!
Thank you very much for this great review. We look forward to having you stay again! All of our rooms have been remodeled and we are very proud of them. We definitely appreciate the recommendation to others! Best wishes, Jane
This motel was extremely well kept, and staff were both accommodating and friendly. There in no full service restaurant on property, but the breakfast room was large, clean, and offered a wide variety of breakfast items. Rooms are all outside access, but noise was not an issue. The outdoor pool was pristine, and the onsite laundry facilities were welcomed toward the end of our stay. An EXCELLENT value! I would definitely return!
We want to thank you very much for this excellent review of your stay. We are finishing the remodeling of rooms and we will be open April 20th. We hope you will visit us again in 2018. Best wishes, Jane
We stayed at The Best Western Acadia Park Inn at Mount Desert Island, Maine in late June, 2017. The rooms had been newly renovated and are very comfortable, beautiful, spacious, clean, with an awesome bathroom complete with a nightlight feature. The layout of the property is barrack style, so you park your car in close proximity to your room. No steps to navigate other than on onto the sidewalk. Back your car into your parking spot and your suitcase is practically at your door. No noise from the room upstairs, since everything is ground level. It reminded me of what it must be like to be away "at camp". Our room faced a beautifully landscaped area with a playground, fire pit, and comfy wooden chairs for outdoor relaxation. Their pool is well maintained and looks pristine. The weather was a tad chilly for me, but next trip, I'll take a dip! The breakfast room is staffed up and the employees are on the job in every way. They anticipate your needs, clearing and wiping down tables as people leave, and are very hospitable. They replenish the food seamlessly. Delicious coffee! Oh, and beans...baked beans, a traditional food in Maine, make an appearance at breakfast. There's a first time for everything, including eggs and beans! Lots of cereal options, oatmeal, hot entrees, fruit, yogurt. If you need gluten free, they're ready for you! Just talk to the gals working there and...voila! This Best Western is the BEST! This was our first trip to Acadia, and we are planning to return in summer of 2018. We'll definitely book here again!
Dear Northdallaswoman We enjoyed your stay with us and it was absolutely a delight to have you here!! We appreciate this awesome review and look forward to your visit this season. Thank you for such lovely comments!! Best wishes, Jane
We enjoyed our stay at Bar Harbor Best Western. It is close to Acadia Park and Bar Harbor. We had been away for over a week and were pleased that the laundry facilities (new and clean) were near our room, so we could do laundry in the evening. Staff went out of their way to find us an extension cord so that we could plug our camera's battery charger (which we'd forgotten to charge) into the car outlet, when we left our first morning to sightsee and take pictures.
Judy S Thank yiou very much for this great review. We are happy that you found the laundry facilities useful and convenient. We do hope to see you again next year. Best wishes, Jane
This was the second time I have stayed at the Best Western Acadia and my opinion has not changed – this is a fantastic place and a wonderful place to stay. There is plenty of parking on-site, and I still like the fact that it is not in Bar Harbor itself so it is nice and quiet (yet only a quick drive to Acadia NP or Bar Harbor). Because they were doing road-works on Route 3, the reception staff provided a map of the detour required to return to the property when coming from Bar Harbor/Acadia. The (included) breakfast is amazing, and a great way to start a morning before a busy and long day of hiking in Acadia. Highlights remain the DIY waffles, but the hot food changed each day and included eggs, bacon, sausages or hash brown among other things. There are several cereal options, yoghurt and fresh fruit also. Other facilities at the property include swimming pool, ice machines, laundry, and vending machines for drinks/snacks. Don't forget the free cookies in reception! Reception staff are super friendly and helpful. Free wifi! The room was spacious so there was plenty of space to spread out maps and luggage items. There was a desk and chair as well as an arm chair with a sofa component. The bathroom has a huge storage area for clothes (great for airing and drying after hiking), although it was a little weird to stand on carpet when using the sink. I liked how they actually followed their green/environmentally friendly policy by NOT replacing towels that were hung up on rails daily. (I often find many hotels have these policies but still insist on replacing all the towels daily). Other features; ironing board, mini fridge, tea/coffee making facilities in the room. As wish my previous visit, this was an easy 5/5 for me and if I find myself back in Acadia NP, I'll make it a third time staying here!
Thank you very much for your loyalty to the Best Western Acadia Park Inn! We sure do appreciate your comments and we are very pleased that you like us enough to plan on making us your lodging choice next time you visit Bar Harbor as well! May you have a great winter and we thank you again. Best wishes, Jane
This BW is always a great place to stay and when we are in Maine we always stay there at least a night. The service has always been great. The property is always well maintained and the day time staff is always helpful. We arrived later then usual and the lady that checked us in was very efficient and had a pleasant attitude. The other lady at the front desk was definately NOT having a good evening!
We sure do appreciate your wonderful comments and we hope to see you again in 2018!! Thank you for staying with us again!! Best wishes, Jane
Best Western Acadia in Bar Harbor Maine is just exceptional having recently undergone quite a renovation. The rooms are beautifully appointed and the baths luxurious. Clean smart décor with comfy pillow top beds and crispy linens. Bravo, it was always a good place but now it is quite outstanding. Breakfast has an outstanding number of breakfast items all fresh and delicious an I can't say enough about the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff.
We are delighted to have you stay with us again! Thank you for your loyalty and also for this incredible review. We are so pleased with our renovations and very happy that you are,too! We look forward to seeing you again in 2018! Best wishes, Jane
we stayed here prior to driving into the Acadia National Park. the hotel was nice, had good coffee, and the next morning had a fine breakfast for everyone. beds were good along with a nice room and bath facilities. big room at a reasonable price. had a couch and chair in the room. good location.
We appreciate you choosing us to be your lodging headquarters and happy that you enjoyed your stay. Thank you! Have a great winter! Jane
Close proximity to many of the areas features. Great room. Great staff. Fast wifi internet service. Room comes complete. Breakfast was great with such an assortment of hot and cold foods and it's included. Best price for what you get around overall.
We really love the "Can't go wrong here!" heading. Thank you very much! We are very appreciative of your compliments on room, staff , breakfast, and rate! 2018 we will have the interior renovations completed. We look forward to your return. Best wishes, Jane
one of the most consistent BW. Over the years I visited Bar Harbor for business, always staying 1 night, this BW is the most reliable in regards to quality, appearance. Public spaces and room amenities are always updated. Congratulations to the owners, I love to see when part of the room night funds are reinvested into keeping the property of high BW quality
Thank you. We appreciate your review and your loyalty to the Best Western Acadia Park Inn! We are blessed to have an owner who puts the lion's share of profit back into the hotel, making it better and better for our guests. It warms our hearts to have such nice compliments! We look forward to seeing you again in 2018! Best wishes, Jane
Best Western Clean just few miles from the harbor heated pool and breakfast close to a lot of places to eat. The park is out standing when up on Cadillac Mt. you get a beautiful view of the harbor. If you like to hike they have good trales
Nice park-like location, extra large room for a chain motel, reasonable rate, good breakfast. Only problem we had was the strange bathroom door which was attached to some kind of sliding bar and impossible to completely close. Don't know if it was temporary or permanent.
We have remodeled our guest rooms and added the barn door to the bathrooms as a swinging door would not work in the space allowed. The pocket style is not approved by Best Western. I apologize for the issues you had and thank you for the comments. As we learn more about them, we try to improve their functionality. Thank you for the feedback. We are happy that you enjoyed your stay otherwise. We hope to see you next year! Best wishes, Jane
Overall very good stay experience. Would definitely stay here again on my trip to bar harbor. Room was big with high ceilings, one floor only, donno disturbance from top. Breakfast was superb, staff was superb. Problem with wifi connection but on ur trip to bar harbor, you probably won't care.
Thank you very much for your review. We are happy to know you will return to us for your lodging needs next time you are here in the Bar Harbor area. Our Wi-Fi was giving us difficulty for a day or two and we had the technician come by to make changes. I apologize. We look forward to seeing you again. Warm regards, Jane
If what you want is an old fashioned property to stay at that has rooms renovated somewhat, then maybe this place is for you. It wasn't for us. The place is a MOTEL — park in front of your room. The room, although renovated somewhat, smelled and seemed damp. The separate room for bathtub and toilet was extremely small. Furniture seemed old. Could hear every noise from road, other motel guests outside, every car door closing and every sound from the next room. They seem to keep up the property well and the breakfast was decent, but this whole place was merely lipstick on a pig! I prefer newer places with good furnishings and clean.
I apologize for your unhappiness with your stay. We take pride in our cleanliness and have won awards for it. We are definitely not a Best Western Plus or Premier. We are a Core property that fits in with the local décor as far as renovated "motels" go. We are happy to say we are in the top 20% nationwide. Our renovations continue this fall into spring and all of our rooms will be completely new. We have sister properties that may suit your needs and wants better and we would be happy to suggest one for your next stay. Thank you. best wishes, Jane
had a fun time here, very clean, comfortable bed, lovely grounds, helpful staff, gave recommendations and directions, knew the area well and what not to miss, good breakfast, loved the fire at night, no complaints
We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay. "No complaints" is a very good thing! We hope to see you again in 2018! Warm wishes, Jane
Wonderful location with very comfortable and clean rooms. Hotel staff is friendly and informative about local area. Offer a variety of food for breakfast and even have cookies and coffee available in lobby. Would definitely stay again!
Clean, comfy bed, friendly people! A great location for the park and Bar Harbor. The detour is probably more inconvenient for the staff explaining the detour 50 times a day than the guests driving it! It's really not a big deal! The facility could use a few updates, but we visited at the very end of the season, before improvement season. This facility is very family friendly-we had other places we had to be but otherwise would have attended the evening events happening there. They have a lovely kid's & family area outdoors with grills, kid's stuff, chairs & a fire pit. The breakfast buffet area is equal to some restaurants I've visited and has a nice variety of selections. The safe in our room was different than a lot-our wider laptop actually fit inside! The attention to detail shows and that makes a difference. Hint-if you're in the lobby in the afternoon when the cookies are out...eat one! They are really yummy!
What a nice review! Thank you so much for taking the time to post it and for highlighting several amenities. We do hope you will be able to stay with us again in 2018! best wishes, Jane
This was really a pleasant surprise. On the outside it appears to be an old-school motel with parking at your door. However, my wife and our son and I found our room to be completely updated with new carpet, furnishings and bed - just like a new hotel. The free breakfast is in an attractive separate building with a good selection of food. The staff were professional and very helpful. The property is spread out next to a forest which means it is very quiet which I greatly appreciated as I am a light sleeper. Although it is several miles into the town of Bar Harbor, I think it is actually a positive. The Bar Harbor town center is a bit of a zoo and I suspect that hotels there would be noisier and a lot more expensive. This was a great choice.
We are so happy that you tried staying at the Best Western Acadia Park Inn! Our serene location does set us apart for those in town and our breakfast is deluxe with several hot items included and is free with your stay. We are resuming the remodeling for the remainder of rooms not yet done once we close for the season on October 22nd. Next season we will open with all remodeled rooms. We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay and we thank you for that and this wonderful review! warm wishes, Jane
I loved staying at this hotel. It was just one floor which was refreshing after staying in big hotels. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. A very nice breakfast was included. The hotel is very close to the entrance to Acadia. I would recommend this hotel!
Thank you very much for your review and awesome recommendation!! We do hope to see you again next season! Warm wishes, Jane
The Best Western was clean, staff was very attentive and cheerful. Very helpful with directions around detour. Room was very quiet and bed was very comfortable. Breakfast had a great selection, Items hot and never ran out,
Greg F. We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and everything was just like it should be, to your liking and satisfaction !! Please stay again next season! Best wishes, Jane
Currently affected by road works with diversion route but no noise disturbance after dark. Excellent customer service, nice touch offering complimentary coffee and cookies at night too. A large and spotless bedroom and bathroom. Good breakfast selection lovely ladies providing. Good location to bar harbour which is great itself
Thank you so much! We are very pleased that you found us to be a good place for you to stay while visiting Bar Harbor and surrounding area. We do hope to see you again! Warm regards, Jane
I can't believe this place. Made reservations months ago and when I had to cancel they would not refund my money saying it was a nonrefundable booking. Ok but in talking to the people they very blasé about taking my money for nothing. Said just accept it as a life lesson! And I know that months in advance they were sure to rebook the rooms. Beware!
I apologize for your confusion with reserving with a third party. The one you chose offers a special rate and it was non-refundable. If you book directly with us or through Best Western.com, you would not have any issue canceling within 48 hours of arrival. No one here would tell you it was a life lesson. That would be rude. I have asked that this be removed. It is not accurate to our property.
This was the BEST Best Western experience that I have ever had. It was an outstanding value for our 5 night stay. Our room was a king bed (not a suite) and the bedroom and bathroom were very spacious, modern, and comfortable. We were extremely pleased with the layout of the hotel which consisted of several one story buildings with parking directly in front of our unit. Each building was a few minutes walk from the hotel lobby and breakfast room. Our experiences with all hotel staff and services were excellent. The location is about 15 minutes from the entrance to Acadia National Park which was our daily destination. The hotel is a 5-10 minute walk to the island's free shuttle service that travels Acadia Park and Mt. Desert Island. We took the shuttle to Bar Harbor to avoid dealing with parking there. We had mountain and ocean views inside and outside of the Park and opted not to pay lots of money to have a hotel with a view as well. We decided on this hotel after looking at numerous reviews for several hotels. We were thrilled with our choice and grateful for the reviews that helped us make it.
Thank you so much! We are located in a serene wooded setting with lots of beautiful flowers and trees. We appreciate your staying with us and for this awesome review. Please come again! Best wishes, Jane
great dinner and buffet breakfast. very close to Bar Harbor. Good front desk service and the room was spotless. The indoor pool was large and heated. All the staff was friendly and courteous. Had wake-up calls that I actually heard.
This hotel was perfect for our time at Acadia. Close to both the entrance to the park and Bar Harbor downtown, yet far enough from the hub bub of downtown to be quiet. The staff were friendly, the breakfast was good, and we appreciated having laundry available. Would definitely stay here again if we were in the area.
Thank you very much for this great review and for your stay! We look forward to your next one. Best wishes, Jane
This is one of the nicest Best Western properties we have experienced in our travel. The beds and rooms were very comfortable and pristine clean. The location is perfect with quick access to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The buffett breakfast was outstanding with quality service and presentation.
What a wonderful review for us to read this morning! Thank you very much for such awesome compliment's! We do hope you will stay with us again soon! Warm regards, Jane
The staff at BW Acadia Park tries really hard to keep everyone satisfied and they truly succeed. The location is perfect if you're planning on visiting the Park or Bar Harbour. Rooms are spacious and clean. Love the personal touch of cookies, coffee, popcorn after hours. Definitely give it a shot and you won't be disappointed. BTW - breakfast was plentiful and good
We certainly appreciate your wonderful endorsement! Thank you very much. Please come again. Best wishes, Jane
The friendly staff and modern room made our stay a relaxing one. The bed was especially comfortable The breakfast was great. We enjoyed the somores at night around the camp fire, learning about the people that live there.
We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us and that you joined the evening S'Mores! We hope to see you again! Thank you! Best wishes, Jane
Nice location if staying outside of Bar Harbor town proper. Easy access to Bar Harbor and Acadia NP. Nice hotel staff. Loved the early evening baked cookies, popcorn, and s'mores! Would stay here again if come back to Acadia!
Wonderful! Thank you for such a nice review and we look forward to seeing you again soon! Best wishes, Jane
Awesome hotel with lots of amenities only a few minutes from the town of bar harbor. We truly loved our stay! We had a great time and the people working the front desk were more than willing to help us with any questions we had. The hotel was just the beginning of our amazing time in bar harbor but it all starts in the place you stay!
Awww...thanks so much! It is wonderful to know that you really loved your stay with us. We look forward to next time!! Warm regards, Jane
clean rooms and shower. comfortable beds. friendly staff. conveniently located. Awesome continental breakfast. Only problem was not with hotel but with a lot of construction / road repairs going into down town Bar Harbor. But hotel provided a detour map to help us find our way back to the hotel.
Thank you for your stay and for this review. We are happy that you enjoyed your stay! We hope to see you again and you will enjoy the new, wider roads. Best wishes, Jane
We stayed here since it was close to the park. Staff was very friendly. Room was nice size and bed very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent, lots of offerings and nice room to eat. Would definitely stay here again.
Thank you very much! We look forward to seeing you again! Best wishes, Jane
We stayed for 3 nights. We always try to stay at Best Western when there is one available on our route as we know we will have consistent quality. This Hotel's accommodations were average. The Breakfast however was one of the best complementary breakfasts that we have experienced. The location was convenient for us as it was easy to get to most parts of Mt. Desert Island without having to deal with downtown Bar Harbor congestion. This is not a place to stay if you are looking for a Ocean or Water view from the hotel.
We appreciate your staying with us for three nights! We do hope you will stay again when ALL of our rooms have been remodeled. That will be completed by spring 2018. Thank you for your loyalty to the Best Western brand. We are delighted that you found our breakfast to be one of the best. Regards, Jane
great hotel for the value with great breakfest and amenities. Easy to find with plenty of parking. Close to everything and staff is very helpful. Would stay here agin and recommended to all my friends
Thanks a million for your recommendation! We appreciate your staying with us and for this great review! best wishes, Jane
we stayed 4 nights well on family vacation , rooms very clean and kept that way, breakfast better than most, comfortable bed, very close to Bar Harbor, a lot of road construction going on, very close to Acadia Park which has beautiful views. would highly recommend at stay here.
Thank you so much for your recommendation to other potential guests! We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and we hope to see you again soon! Thank you for taking the time to post this review. Warm regards, Jane
AAA found this hotel for me. It looked a little boxy from the outside, but I didn't care since I had plans pretty tightly scheduled all day, and would be out of the room. I got back to the hotel on my first night there around 7:15. I noticed people gathered out in a grassy field outside my room. So I went to check it out. The hotel sponsors a s'mores bbq every night around a fire pit. They provide everything you need, all you can eat. The kids were running around barefoot on the lawn, the adults were chatting with each other about where we were from. Great time had by all. My room was spotless, the bathroom gorgeous, the bed comfortable! The next morning I decided to check out the "Continental Breakfast!" It is misnamed! It was a full breakfast buffet with all you could possibly want to eat, and delicious! The folks behind the desk in the lobby were helpful, and suggested a sing-a-long in Bar Harbor town square, that was delightful. The swimming pool was just the perfect temp between warm and cool, and the surrounding area was clean, with plenty of tables and chairs. As you float on your back, you look up at the most beautiful canopy of trees gently bustling in the breeze. I had a wonderful time! Give it a try! You won't be sorry!
What a wonderful review!! Thank you very much and we are so pleased that you found the S'More's fire pit! It does give our guests a chance to mingle with others and just relax after a long day of sightseeing and enjoying the park. Our breakfast always offers a hot egg , hot meat and a potato item. There is also the make- it -yourself waffle station with various possible toppings. We are so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you and please do come again! Best wishes, Jane
We stayed at the Acadia Park Inn for two nights this month. It's a spread-out motel-type establishment with all single-story buildings with outside doors. Parking was ample, the room was nicely furnished and clean with plenty of towels, etc. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful, with many recommendations for restaurants, activities, etc. Delicious coffee, tea and cookies are provided in the check-in area all day long. The hotel is located a couple of miles outside of Bar Harbor along a quiet highway. While it isn't as close to town as many other hotels, it also doesn't have to put up with all the noise and traffic of town.
We are pleased that you had a good stay! Thank you for choosing to stay with us when there are many other lodging choices in this area. Thank you for this great review. We hope to see you again. Warm regards, Jane
nice place to stay in the area. Hotel front staff was very helpful as I had forgot to bring my coupons. Was able to use them with there help. room was very nice. Breakfast was one of the nicest we have had in our travels and staying at Best Westerns. would love to come back again.
We would love to have you back again! Thank you very much for your stay and this lovely review! It was our pleasure to assist you with your Best Western Rewards promotion coupons. Warm regards, Jane
I have a family of 4, with two kids ages 7 and 10. My kids declared this as their favorite hotel. Of course, with a heated pool, freshly-baked cookies and popcorn in the lobby each day, and s'mores by a fire each night, how could they not love it? The full breakfast has many options and was always delicious. Room was always clean and the beds were perfect. Reception desk was friendly and helpful, their recommendations for dining and parking were spot on. Affordable prices, I felt this was well worth every penny. HIGHLY recommended for your stay.
Thank you for this magnificent recommendation to other would-be guests! We love the fact that your children found us to be their favorite! We try very hard to provide a few activities besides the heated pool to give the kids a chance to burn off some energy. Badminton and Bocce are also available and a sandbox and swing set /playground for even younger ones. We look forward to seeing you all again! Warm regards, Jane
This Best Western is everything. Location, room, laundry facilities, and the free breakfast was excellent! Office offers hot coffee, hot chocolate, and cookies. Staff in office very helpful. Little ladies overseeing breakfast room do a great job. We were so impressed with the offerings.
Thank you so much! We are so pleased that you found us the "best yet". Please come back when you can and stay with us again. Best wishes to you, Jane
Despite the construction rerouting traffic, the location was great. Right near Acadia and just a short drive to downtown. Not to mention 5 or so minutes from Atlantic Brewing! The rooms were clean and recently renovated and a great deal considering the outrageous prices on the waterfront.
We stayed for 4 nights at this Best Western. It is on a very nice property and easy access to Acadia and 12 minute ride to Bar Harbor. The price was reasonable for this area as hotels tend to be very expensive. The staff was nice enough to upgrade us for a suite. It was nice and roomy. You could tell the bathroom and room were remodeled. Bathroom very large. Nice separate TV area with refrig. The pool area was nice and included a hot breakfast. There were usually eggs and bacon, but could also make your own waffles and had plenty of breads and cold cereals to choose from. There were lots of kids in the breakfast area so could get a little chaotic. The ladies did their best to keep things stocked and keep the chaos minimal. There was enough to get us ready for our day of exploring at Acadia. There was road construction on the way to Bar Harbor. You could get into town but had to take a detour to return. As it turned out the detour did not affect us much, just the hotels that were closer to Bar Harbor. It turns out we made a good choice without even knowing about the construction. Would recommend if visiting Acadia.
Comfortable motel in great place to explore the Acadia NP and surroundings. Quite stable and fast wifi in rooms. Very good breakfast. A lot of information about what to do. Microvawe and refrigerator in the room.
We are happy that you posted a review for us and thank you for giving us a perfect score! We do hope you will be able to stay with us again soon! Best wishes, Jane
First trip to Maine, and lucked out with this selection. Perfect location to get to Cadillac Mtn for sunrise... and beat the crown for a parking space@ Wonderful staff, modern, newly decorated rooms, fantastic breakfast- definite recommend!
We are very happy that you chose us for your lodging here in the Bar Harbor area, especially since it was your first time here. Hopefully you will stay with us again when you come back for your second , third, and fourth visits!! Blessings! Jane
If you're looking for a good place to spend a weekend, I highly suggest this hotel. The only downside is if it rains, you will be soaking wet running to and from your room, breakfast are and front desk.
I apologize for the rain and your getting wet. We start out with a healthy supply of great umbrellas and unfortunately many do not come back to us. Like many places of lodging here in the Bar Harbor area we are an outside entry hotel. We appreciate your recommendation in spite of that! Thank you so much! Warm wishes, Jane
We stayed here and was amazed at how big and clean the rooms were. Only a few minutes from Bar Harbor and Acadia. Breakfast was plentiful and area was clean, food was good. Would stay again. Great value for the area.
This is a very nice hotel. They have a lovely looking pool (did not use so no idea about amount of chlorine). Grounds are nice landscaped and there is a lawn in front for sitting/ children playing games etc. Hotel is conmvenient to Acadia Park entrance. It is not walking distance to Bar Harbor downtown but, there is bus service (not sure if it stops at hotel as we did not use.
The hotel is a nice complex with a great breakfast, nicely decorated and spacious room. Loved the cookies in the afternoon, popcorn and smores in the evening! makes you feel like you are at home! Fun times!
We stayed with a family of 4 in one room. The rooms are of OK size and every comfort (tv, fridge, safe, airco,...) is available. The pool is not that big but as there were only a couple of other people, even on a sunny day, it was large enough. The breakfast area is of limited size. If a lot of couples are occupying bigger tables for 4 or 6 it can be limited. The large map of the world where you can pin where you come from is very sympathetic. We are the Belgian pin. The breakfast itself was of good quality, with enough choice. Our 13 years old son especially liked the waffle iron so he could make his own. We prefer scrambled eggs but on the second day the choice was more of an omelette which clearly was less popular (so why bother). The staff is friendly and effective. Rooms are well cleaned. We liked the late afternoon campfire with 'smores' to get to know someone of the staff (a very friendly young local of maintenance) and other tourists. The town is a ten minute drive away. The fact that we had to do a detour on returning due to roadworks was not that annoying. It could have been if we would have chosen an eating option on the one way to town as you would have to do the same detour to get back. But that's rather a minor problem. The only thing I would try to arrange is asking people with loud vehicles (like a Harley Davidson) to park away from the buildings and certainly not letting their engine run for a long time in the evening or early morning (but you would think that people could think of that by themselves). The rooms are well isolated, so we didn't hear any noise from neighbours but isolating against a loud motorcycle is naturally something else. We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful part of the country.
We appreciate you staying with us and your lovely review. I will look for the Belgian pin! That is exciting to see where all of our guests come from. Please return! Best wishes to you all, Jane
Although the rooms need a little updating, they were clean and kept in good repair. There is an excellent staff that is friendly and go out of their way to ensure you have an enjoyable stay. They had to deal with helping customers with the inconvenience of road construction while we were there, but handled it proactively and made the best of the situation. Fresh cookies daily and a cookout with s'mores every night. Nice touch.
Thank you for the compliments on the staff especially. We love to give our guests the attention they deserve. As you may know, we are remodeling the rooms and will have them all completed by spring 2018. It is great to know you took part in the S'mores and cookies! Warm regards, Jane
The hotel and personel was very gentle, and a very raisonable price very close to the acadia national park, also the bar very cosy, and the staff and the contineatal breakfast was very good, we were 4 brothers travelling by motorcycles and they give us a special spot to park our motorcycle so we could be in a safe place , we recommend this place , very much
Thank you very much for this lovely review and for your stay. Please stay with us again! Best wishes, Jane
This is a motel-style property, which I don't typically like. But we had a wonderful stay. Rooms are renovated and very comfortable, parking is convenient, and very close to Acadia National Park. We had a great time and I would not hesitate to stay there again.
Thank you very much Michael for this lovely review. We are finishing our room renovations over this winter then on to the exterior. We are delighted to know that you would not hesitate to stay again and we look forward to it! Best wishes, Jane
My wife and I enjoyed our stay near Bar Harbor/ Acadia National Park. The exterior of the place (rustic, maybe) did not do justice to the room. Everything was perfect for us. The bed was wonderfully comfortable; the room was clean and fresh smelling; the staff was friendly and very helpful. We want to visit the area again, and stay longer. This hotel will be where we stay!
Dear Gregory S Thank you for your wonderful review. We are renovating the remaining guest rooms over this fall and winter ... then we will move on to the "rustic" exterior of the buildings. (That would describe it pretty well. ) Thank you for saying that it "does no justice to the interior". We certainly welcome you to stay as long as you can next time! We look forward to it. Warm regards, Jane
We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It is shaped like a motel meaning that there are separate buildings and you drive up to your room and enter into your room from the outside versus from a hallway. The room was not that big and the bathroom was small. There were a few marks on the walls and some marks around the shower. I also felt like it was expensive for what it is. There is also a charge for a cot..this was the only hotel that has ever charged us for a cot. On the positive side the pool was very nice and clean. The playground and the Adirondack chairs are very nice to have. The laundry facility was easy to use. The breakfast area was clean and the staff working the breakfast area were very helpful and hardworking. And the cookies at check in were a nice touch. It was very convenient to get to Acadia from here.
I thank you for staying with us an for this review. We do have some rooms that are a little smaller than others and have two queen beds. When you add a cot and it is even smaller. I am pleased that you used the laundry facilities and enjoyed the pool and breakfast which is included with your room rate. The remaining non-renovated rooms will be totally redone over this fall and winter. All of our rooms are outside entry, keeping with the historic ,original building. We hope to see you again! Regards, Jane
Nice location,good access,friendly staff more than adequate breakfast w/ huge seating area. Rooms were large enough w/ standard upscale BW furnishings. Bath area was more than adequate. All in all one of the nicer places I've stayed in. One problem they had bedbugs. In fairness I'm sure they didn't know. I will say they were cooperative,immediately refunded my money. And I have been told they have sanitized the room. Would I stay there again. I'm not sure, I would have to think about it.
Clean room. Park right in front of your room. Friendly staff. Quiet and removed from hectic downtown area. Lots of stuff for kids including heated pool and play area. Also bocce ball court and badminton set, picnic tables and grills. Free wifi helpful as we had no cell service here. Free continental breakfast. Laundry available
What a nice review. Thank you. Our Bocce' ball court is very popular as is the evening S'Mores fire pit. We love our serene location and very pleased that you feel the same way. We hope to see you again soon! Warm wishes, Jane
The hotel was nice. It had a large grassy area where my grandson was able to kick a soccer ball around and eat a "smores". The pool was nice. The check in staff seemed very "cold". I did not find them very friendly. The hotel is close to Acadia Park and to Bar Harbor. It also is close to a fun miniature golf course.
I apologize for the feeling you received from the check-in staff. That is certainly not our norm. We are happy that your grandson enjoyed the evening S'mores and the vast area of green space on which to play. I do hope you will come back and stay with us again. Please know that we truly appreciate your business and your company. Warm wishes, Jane
My husband and I went to Bar Harbor for a weekend getaway. When we arrived somehow there was a mixup with our reservation but the staff took care of it right away. Room was very nice and spacious. Parking for our room was a little tight, but no big deal. Breakfast has many options. Staff was very friendly.
It is always wonderful to get a weekend away. We are happy that you came to spend it with us. Please try to get away more often. It is great for lifting one's spirit and we would love to see you again. Thank you. Best wishes, Jane
We spent just one night at this hotel during a two day trip to Acadia. The price was higher than the national average but reasonable for the area. The room we had was newly renovated and clean and well furnished. Breakfast was excellent and better then most places I have stayed. The staff from the front desk to the kitchen to the housekeepers were all friendly, courteous and went out of their way to be helpful. I would highly recommend this place and will stay there again. It is not luxurious but is clean, well appointed and reasonable priced with a welcoming staff. The hotel location is outside of Bar Harbor a few miles so it isn't walking distance to many places but it fit the bill for us. Easy driving distance to Bar Harbor and Acadia.
Dear Sherry C Thank you for staying with us and giving us this lovely review of your experience with us. Your recommendation is very much appreciated. Warm regards, Jane
This facility was clean and the staff very friendly. The breakfast room was the best! There were many choices...hot or cold. The staff even provided a camp fire in which we made s'mores and talked with other guests. The grounds were nicely groomed . A nice area to sit under the trees and relax. A shuttle bus picks you up and brings you into town...complimentary.. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you for this awesome review! We really appreciate your recommendation to others looking to come to the Bar Harbor area. The free Island Explorer bus service runs mid-June thru October 9th this year. Please come stay with us again. Regards, Jane
This hotel is very different from others I've stayed at. Usually hotels go upwards, but this is a big property with one floor sections so the rooms are pretty big and spacious. the lobby area is nicely decorated and there's coffee and cookies at check in. the staff is very friendly. The rooms are all very different. I know because I came with friends and we had 4 rooms total and none of the rooms are exactly the same, similar but not the same. I like the shower. Good water pressure and a lot of shower head options. It was also a short drive to town for restaurants and souvenir shopping. Overall, it was a great stay. I would recommend it.
Great location just outside Bar Harbour. Large clean room. Very friendly and helpful staff. Separate bright and spacious building for breakfast. Lots of variety of breakfast choices. Without question, exceeded the Best Western standards we have become accustomed to. Would not hesitate to stay again.
This was our first trip to Bar Harbor, we stayed here for two nights. The people who work here are very helpful and knowledgeable about their neighborhood. They pointed us in the direction of great tours and sites, and delicious local restaurants. The ladies in the breakfast area are constantly working, cleaning tables, and making sure all the food is filled. Everyone made us feel welcomed. They also do s'mores around a campfire every evening, weather permitting. I don't want to forget about the cleaning people either, they did an exceptional job cleaning our room. I highly recommend staying here. It's very convenient to downtown BH, and Acadia National Park.
We spent 2 weeks traveling and that many nights in hotels. This by far was our best stay. The entire hotel has been updated. The room was beautiful,clean and perfect with many extras. Also reasonably priced for the area. A separate breakfast space is located in the middle with lots of space for everyone with a full breakfast. Highly recommended! You won't be sorry.
Thank you for stating we were your "best stay" in your two week vacation! We are delighted to earn that honor. We are still in process of completing all of our rooms remodeling but will have the remaining rooms complete by spring 2018. Thank you for the wonderful compliments and please come see us again. Berst wishes to you all, Jane
This was my family's first adventure to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The Best Western was a great resting point for our stay. Rooms were clean, breakfast was delicious and spacious (entire building devoted to breakfast.) Would love to go back again!!
We would love to have you stay with us again so make this an annual adventure! Thank you for staying with us and for this lovely review. Warm regards, Jane
We stayed two nights at the BW on a trip to Acadia National Park. I would highly recommend the hotel. When we checked in the Desk Clerk had recommendations for dining (based on our questions), which was helpful. We are Best Western Rewards Club Members. That gave us a gift bag (or points) and an upgraded room. The room was the largest non-suite motel room I've ever stayed in - very spacious and nice. The pillow-top king mattress was really comfortable. The Breakfast area was the nicest self-serve I've ever experienced. The ladies working the breakfast were friendly and kept everything stocked and clean. The selection was very nice and the dining room quite comfortable. The grounds for the hotel are pretty and they have numerous benches where you can sit and enjoy the quiet. The price was a bit high - but I'm sure comparable for the timing of our stay.
Clean, Attractive Grounds, Nice Pool, wonderful front desk staff and breakfast staff. Always offering new attractions for their guests - evening sing alongs with live music, s'mores around the fire pit. Convenient to all Bar Harbor and Acadia locations. We enjoy our stay every summer.
We are very happy to have you return year after year! Thank you very much for your loyalty and lovely review. Until we see you again, best wishes to you!! Jane
We stayed here for two nights as we visited Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. What a gem! The property is very tidy and we'll maintained. There are a set of 4 or 5 single story buildings. There was a nice grassy area with several seats in the middle of this grouping of buildings. There was also a playground and a fire pit on the other side of the buildings. Apparently they offer s'mores in the evening. We weren't able to take part in this. We did enjoy the pool and hot tub area. There were laundry facilities too. Our room and beds were comfortable. The complementary breakfast offered here is the best we've had. Many choices, including sugar free condiments. They clearly go out of their way to make travelers comfortable.
We all thank you very much for staying with us and we are very happy that you enjoyed your yourselves! Just to clarify for any potential new guests, we do not have a hot tub but we do have a new heated outdoor pool and plenty of sunbathing space. We love hearing that our breakfast was the best you had on your vacation! We look forward to seeing you again soon! Warm regards, Jane
this place was exactly what we needed for our visit to acadia and bar harbor. clean and simple and - the staff was friendly, and had good information. we had an easy time getting to the park for sunrise, just a few minutes down the road. we'll be back!
We are very happy that we were exactly what you needed for your lodging needs here in the Bar Harbor area! We are going to hold you to the promise to come back!! Thank you very much! Best wishes, Jane
Excellent. I can't say anything negative, it was all positive. We would stay again! Front desk was very nice. Kids enjoyed the afternoon snack. Continental Breakfast was very good. Laundry machines as well. Easy access to and from Bar Harbor.
What a wonderful review! Thanks so much for staying with us and for taking the time to write this excellent review! We look forward to your return. Regards, Jane
My family stayed here 5 years ago on our trip to Acadia. Our second time was even better. The staff is still very helpful and friendly, the grounds are impeccably kept and the pool area is still smallish but clean. The big improvement to me was the new dining area. There are more tables and seating area, and the food area is separated from the eating area. There's still a great selection of breakfast foods, and the 2 ladies keep everything stocked and clean. The lobby is spacious and offers free popcorn and cookies (the best is Whoopie-pie Wednesday!) They supply everything for smores on the campfire every night at the playground; they will even make them for you if you want. The location is away from the bustle of Bar Harbor, and if you are looking to go there all you have to do is catch the free LL Bean shuttle that stops at the front of the hotel. We had a great 6-day stay this time, and we're glad we came back.
This motel was the ABSOLUTE best choice that we could have made for our 5 day/4night getaway to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park! Only a couple of miles away from the main entrance to Acadia and maybe a 15 / 20 minute drive to Bar Harbor. Quiet, lovely setting on Route 3. Set back from the main road so any room location is just fine. One of the highlights is that it is only a one story motel....therefore no noise from an upper level!!! An older property that has upgraded its mattresses, linens, etc. The beds were so comfortable and the rooms were spotless. The front desk staff was knowledgable about the area and always available to answer any questions. The grounds were well maintained. The pool area (heated pool!) was also a nice amenity. Pool towels were provided in each guest room. Each guest room also had a coffee machine, small refrigerator and a microwave. A full breakfast was included each morning - a nice selection of eggs, sausages, breads, waffles, cereals, juice and coffee or tea. The breakfast was served in a separate building that had sufficient seating for everyone. The women who cooked and served the breakfast were delightful! We traveled over to the Schoodic peninsula as well as Bass Harbor/Southwest Harbor areas by car and again I have to say that this was by far the best location. No dealing with downtown Bar Harbor traffic. We did eat in Bar Harbor all 4 nights - some great restaurants (other reviews) but I would not want to stay in town. Way too touristy, crowded and noisy. I would highly recommend this property.
What a wonderful review! Thank you very much for taking the time. Your recommendation is priceless! We love being the "best" choice you could have made for lodging when there are so many places to stay in this area. We are looking forward to seeing you again! Warm regards, Jane
We hesitate to stay inside busy tourist towns. We came to see Acadia NP, not to buy souvenirs. This was a great location. The room was spotless, the facility well maintained. The bed, linens and toiletries were top shelf. Their were several warm touches, like making s'mores in the evening over a fire and fresh baked cookies. We left before breakfast, so no comment. The front desk was helpful and knowledgeable about the area. They went out of their way to make sure our visit was exceptional. This isn't the Ritz, but it is a great place to stay.
Thank you for this amazing review. We appreciate all of your compliments on our amenities and staff. We do hope that next time you get to indulge in our awesome breakfast! Warm regards, Jane
My family and I had a great time at the hotel. Our room was clean and the staff did a great job maintaining it while we were there. The breakfast was excellent each morning and the ladies who staff the breakfast room are very nice. There's some construction on Route 3 towards Bar Harbor but the local free bus service was excellent too. One minor complaint: The walls are thin so it can be noisy depending on who your neighbors are. First night was loud but the other two were fine.
I apologize for the noisy neighbors you endured. Most are considerate of their location and try to be reasonable about the noise level they produce. I am happy you had a great time and and found the room to be clean and breakfast excellent. Please come again. Regards, Jane
Excellent staff - the manager allowed us to park our SUV and motorcycle trailer their at the hotel, while we went on our Canada 7 days motorcycle trip. When we returned, the staff was able to get us checked in an hour before, check-in. The rooms was clean, internet services great and the pool was refreshing.
It was delightful to see you folks and have you share some of your trip to Canada experiences with us. We do hope you will come again. Thank you for staying with us and for this review. Best wishes, Jane
Nice hotel close to Acadia National Park. Excellent breakfast, friendly staff. The exterior of the hotel could be spruced up a little. Some interior maintenance could be done as well. Overall, a good place to stay.
First off, this hotel was a perfect distance from the park and downtown Bar Harbor. Area is quiet and peaceful. Free breakfast is good and the building/room it is in is really nice! Room was clean and nice. Staff were very friendly. Prices were reasonable. Convenient to park right outside your room, but doesn't have the creepy vibe that hotels laid out this way normally have. Definitely suggest staying here for a more reasonable rate, especially since you will be driving to get to the park no matter what.
Erin Thank you! I am so happy we do not give off a "creepy vibe". (smile) We think our location is just right for visiting the park and for getting away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. We appreciate your recommendation to others and we hope you will stay with us again soon! Warm regards, Jane
Clean rooms,look recently done. comfortable king bed, self-serve breakfast was typical but good; would stay again; outdoor seating and fire pit early evening with s'mores; short ride to Acadia National Park, convenient
We appreciate you review and comments. It is always nice to hear that a previous guest will stay again! We hope to see you again soon! Thank you. Best wishes, Jane
We stayed at this hotel in a pinch. Originally, we had booked another hotel but due schedules changing and wanting to add another traveler we had to rebook elsewhere. Thankfully we were able to reserve a room here. The room was very clean. Perhaps the cleanest I have ever stayed in. The beds and pillows are awesome. The staff were very nice and attentive. The pool is in great shape. The breakfast were much better than I anticipated. Delicious and ample amounts of food. Very close to all touristy areas but also allows to pass little hidden gems you might not see if staying in the hub. When I get back to Bar Harbor I will be reserving a room here once again.
We are happy you had to rebook and found us! We appreciate all of your kind compliments and we sure look forward to serving you again! Bless you, Jane
We stayed for 3 nights and our stay was awesome, from very helpful lobby staff (esp. mention to Jerry) to cafeteria to housekeeping employees who were very professional, not to mention the awesome playground and mountainous views..... the best BW stop we had, so far!
I do not believe we have ever had a "super excellent" review of a guests stay before! Thank you so much! We are all very pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us and we are very happy to be the "best" Best Western stop you had so far!!! We do hope you will be able to make a return visit someday soon! best wishes, Jane
I thought the hotel was more pricey than in other areas of Maine (other Best Western hotels). I really liked that you can park right in front of your hotel room which made it easy to move luggages into the room. They had a nice swing set in the front which was relaxing to go on before bed. The staff were really friendly and the breakfast was great. They have a very spacious breakfast area.
This was a very friendly, clean and comfortable location. I really liked the fire pit at the evening and smores. It brought people together from all over. We met some very nice people from all over that stayed at that location.
Short drive to Hulls Cove visitor center at Acadia National Park. Rates are competitive with hotels in Bar Harbor village. Our room was large, a little outdated, but very comfortable with armchair, desk and sofa. Bathroom was large and looked to be recently updated. No problems with hot water or low water pressure. The buffet breakfast, served in its own building, is substantial. Scrambled eggs some of the best I've eaten at a buffet. Sausages, fruit, large variety of breads, waffles, yogurt, juices, etc. are also provided. The room is large and seating was never a problem, even during busy times. Extremely friendly and efficient staff taking care of everything and everyone. WiFi worked well in our room and public areas. We would definitely stay here again.
Diane Thank you for this lovely review. The rooms that have not been renovated this past winter ( still clean and comfortable) will be over this winter. We are delighted that you enjoyed the breakfast and I will pass the comments on to the breakfast ladies! Our owner We look forward to your next stay with us! Warm regards, Jane
We just returned home last night from our trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia. While there we took part in activities such as exploring the park, enjoying the views, taking boat rides, seeing lighthouses, and visiting many shops and restaurants too. Our 'home base' for our time there was the Best Western Acadia Park Inn. It's located only a short and easy ride from the Bar Harbor waterfront and Acadia Park. When originally doing my research on TA I had planned for us to stay in Bar Harbor near the waterfront. But since this trip got arranged at the last minute many places were either sold out or the remaining rooms were priced too high for the four of us. So after reading reviews on TA we chose the better value at the Best Western. I'm glad we did. The property looks nicer than in the photos which looked fine as it was. It is a motel and not a hotel and you do park in front of your room. Don't let that dissuade you for a minute. The property is nicely landscaped and maintained and better than expected. Upon checking in we were greeted by two friendly ladies at the front desk who made check in easy and provided some answers to our questions on the area. Our room was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. While on property we enjoyed the breakfast every morning that's included in the price of your stay as well as cookies and hot popped popcorn in the lobby every night. There's also a coffee set up in the lobby and a computer and printer for your use. We missed the s'mores each night because we kept getting back too late. Our kids made it into the pool once and enjoyed it but people were using it daily and it was never too crowded. At night we slept well with little to no noise from adjacent rooms or the parking lot. It truly was a great experience. When we checked out on Monday morning my wife went in to compliment them on their friendliness and on the property overall. In hindsight I am glad the places in town did not have availability to our liking as we would have missed this great value and great experience. There are numerous places to stay in the Bar Harbor area of different design and price points. That being said, if after reviewing different options you are considering staying at the Best Western Acadia Park Inn then I can say that we highly recommend it.
I recently stayed at the Best Western Acadia Park Inn for a visit to Acadia National Park and Bark Harbor, Maine. The hotel is located just a few miles from the park entrance and about 5 miles to downtown Bar Harbor. So the location is in a great spot as long as you are OK with not being in downtown Bar Harbor. It is easy enough to get into town and can walk around once you get there. The rooms were clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The free breakfast had a good selection of your typical hotel breakfast options. There is a pool, though I didn't use it. There is also plenty of free parking at the hotel. You can certainly pay more to be in town, but if you have a car it isn't a problem. I would stay here again.
Thank you for this very nice review of our property. We are happy that you chose to stay with us considering all the lodging choices in Bar Harbor and surrounding area. It is always wonderful to hear a previous guest say they will stay again when in the area. Best wishes to you all, Jane
Perfect place to stay while visiting Arcadia and Bar Harbor. Great family atmosphere and nice rooms. Staff very helpful and friendly. Close to everything. Can go sight seeing in the morning relax in the afternoon and go out in the evening. Afternoon cookies and popcorn were a great treat!
Staff friendly and helpful! Continental breakfast 5 star (even offered GF Udi's delectable blueberry muffins and GF bread for toast, which I appreciated very much! ) Hotel room: Beds and pillows very comfy! AC great! Large Bath/shower! Hotel staff free popcorn 1st night... large cookies and coffee/tea available in lobby.also coffee/tea in rm:) Only problem: at 1st it was amusing, sliding door occasionally came open while using bathroom...Day 2 and 3 came open more often. we did bring this to attn of staff upon leaving.
Very clean place to stay with an excellent breakfast.What else has to be said, everything was very good right down to the toilet paper they supply. Comfortable bed's, clean towels everyday if you wish.
Great value. Clean, spacious room comfortable for our family of 4 complete w free internet/full breakfast/fridge/microwave. Minutes from Acadia entrance. Friendly staff and safe environment. Blackout curtains.
We visited the Best Western Acadia Park Inn in late May for business reasons. They could not have been better to work with. They worked with me ahead of time and assured me they would be able to accommodate our needs. Our check in was efficient and friendly. The staff gave good advice on where we might find services since we were late and ahead of the tourist season. Our room was spacious,with plenty of room to set up a computer and printer. It was also quiet which was very much appreciated. The staff was always friendly and helpful in answering our questions and giving advice. To our delight,they always had cookies available in the evening. They had one of the best Best Western breakfast areas we have ever experienced. Overall, it was wonderful and we will gladly return again.
Only 2 miles from Acadia which was a huge perk for us. The outside is adorable and quaint so we were excited as soon as we pulled in. Rooms are cute. Bathtub and shower were a bit out of date but I didn't really care too much. Bed was comfortable enough. Breakfast was free and plentiful. Worth noting the lobby was very nice and the people that worked there were top notch. We ended up chatting a bit with Karen and her coworker (wish I'd caught her name) and they were warm, funny women. Seriously Best Western-you have two shining stars there-do what you can to keep them happy so they don't bring their magic somewhere else! Downtown Bar Harbor is pricey and packed. Do yourself a favor and stay here-it's out of the way just enough.
Karen and Amelia will be walking on clouds with your review. They are wonderful ladies and thank you for the compliments directed at them. We sure do appreciate your recommendation that others stay with us. We hope to see you again! Warm regards,Jane
The rooms seem a little out of date with the furniture giving that feeling. It feels rather dark inside the rooms as well. , I wish they'd modernize the room some, and brighten it up so it appears more inviting. This is not the 70s and 80s anymore. The hotel though is rather convenient to Bar Harbor and Acadia Park. Not going to lie about that. 15 min. perhaps. It's a great price for the location. I'm not a breakfast person, but I fell into temptation and ate. The breakfast was awesome and filling. They have a huge selection, not just your waffle, egg, cereal and drink station. The breakfast staff was nice and friendly. They have a fairly large dining area for breakfast. The hotel has a pool, but I cannot comment on it as I didn't use it. The hotel leaves a reusable water bottle as your gift on the table by the window when you first come into your room.
Thank you David for your review. While we have updated the décor in half of the rooms, your room was not one of them...yet. We will under go another renovation this fall and finish in the spring of 2018 so that all of our rooms will have the most updated, modern case goods. We are happy you enjoyed the breakfast . All of our guests do not get water bottles but we do try to give our frequent guests, longer duration guests and obvious hikers those or other items. Glad you liked them! Best wishes, Jane
Friendly staff, clean rooms and easy access to Acadia NP. Visited end of June, so it was busy and the hotel accommodated all our needs. Super warm welcome and information about getting around the area with the ongoing detours.
Thank you for your great review. Road construction is are everywhere in Maine it seems but we do have alternate routes to avoid it all. We are happy that you found it easy to get around with our help. Thank you and please stay again! Best wishes, Jane
Great time at Bar Harbor and Acadia national Park. Rooms at best Western a great service from the staff was excellent. Pool was nice. And the nice playground for the kids . We enjoyed ourselves immensely
Thank you very much for this terrific review! We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us and hope you come back soon! Best wishes, Jane
We booked a short three-day getaway in Bar Harbor and decided to stay at the Best Western. Several years ago, we had stayed here and remembered it as being a good, basic place with reasonable pricing. Our arrival was much later than expected but the check-in was very efficient with some incredibly helpful staff. Much to our surprise, the rooms had been updated and were beautiful. It was all very modern, clean and larger than we had remembered. The bathroom is huge for Best Western and had a marble vanity and a shower that made you not want to get out. The bed was incredibly comfortable, so much so we got up much later than we expected. Aside from the road construction going on for the drive into Bar Harbor (minor annoyance), we couldn't have been happier with our stay. We plan on a late summer trip back and will stay at the Best Western Acadia Inn again.
We are very happy to hear that you have been a prior guest and enjoyed our recent renovations. (Not all of our rooms are completed yet but will be by next spring.)We do look forward to having you return in late summer. I believe the rooms have been updated since your initial stay years ago but the most current updates were done over the winter into this spring. Thank you for your loyalty! Warm regards, Jane
Very clean, friendly staff, and great location! The room we stayed in was brand new! The lobby was very welcoming! I would recommend it to my friends and family! If your looking for a single night or an extended stay, I would recommend this place.
Honestly one of the better stays I have ever had at a hotel. Clean, staff was fantastic. Free breakfast had so many choices and all of it was fresh and delicious. Details I appreciate that I wish more hotels did, night lights in the bathroom, lighted wall switches in the room by the door, soap dish by the bathroom sink, nice spa soaps, lotion, shampoo and conditioner all made by Bath and Body Works. Bathroom was so roomy and had a quite exhaust fan that actually worked and room AC/Heat unit was also much quiter than other hotels I have been too.
Thank you! We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and are pleased with the amenities we have chosen to provide for our guests. Please come again! Warm regards, Jane
When we visit Bar Harbor, we are going hiking in Acadia NP therefore we are looking for a lodging which is reasonably priced, well maintained and close to the park entrance. This motel fits all 3 requirements. It is on Route 3 which is the main road to Bar Harbor so it is easy to find. It is about a 10 minute drive to the visitor center. Acadia has no lodging inside the park nor any concession lodging near the park so this is about as close as you can get. The free breakfast was excellent even providing gluten free options which was a wonderful treat for our daughter who is GF. The entire staff was friendly and willing to provide information or service.
Thank you Steven for this marvelous review of the Best Western Acadia Park Inn. We hope to see you again before the season is over! Best wishes, Jane
I stayed at this hotel due to it's great reviews on TripAdvisor, the price, and it's proximity to Acadia. The staff is super nice, my room was clean and breakfast was perfect. Compared to other hotels in the area, I got a great place to stay for a very reasonable price. I would definitely stay here again.
Great value compared to similar level competitors , but let down compared to other BW hotels. I am regular at BW as i a costco member and used that discount. I was expecting the regular BW style for this property, but its more like a motel style property. But no complaints as i could all the similar graded hotels in bar harbor areas are motel style. Stay and breakfast great just like any BW property.
Thank you for using your Costco discount card to stay with us! We are not an interior corridor hotel and you are correct that the area has mostly that type of lodging. Many of our rooms have undergone a complete transition and the remainder will follow this winter for next spring. We appreciate your staying with us and hope you will return soon! Regards, Jane
I am not normally a fan of motels. That being said, there are many positives about this Best Western branded inn.This BW is surrounded by woods, in a quiet location, immediately off the road to Bar Harbor, but not within walking distance. It has obviously been renovated to a higher standard than a traditional motel, with granite countertops and marble transitions between the carpet in the bedroom and the ceramic tile in the bathroom. We had one of two available king efficiencies, complete with a full size fridge, stove, microwave, and a coffeemaker (no dishwasher), and dishes, silverware, and cooking utensils. There was a large dresser and large closet, complete with beach towels. We arrived a week before Memorial Day, so the outdoor pool was not yet open. There is a small playground for children. Parking is right outside your motel room door. While convenient, you do hear horns honk as car locks are secured. Every staff member we encountered provided excellent service and shared suggestions for sights to see (including maps) and restaurants to enjoy. Fresh baked cookies every day at the front desk. Breakfast is in a separate building and provided ample choices: small cheese omelettes, meat, hash browns, waffle maker, cereals, yoghurts, juices, fruit. Due to construction on the road into Bar Harbor, there was a detour. Front desk provided a map to show us a shortcut. I still can't believe the value!
Thank you very much for leaving such a nice review of your stay with us. We are indeed updating our decor and the next project will be the exterior. We appreciate your making us your lodging choice when there are so many hotels/motels in the area. We hope to see you again soon! Best wishes, Jane
We had 2 rooms and both was newly renovated with a modern touch and very clean. Staff at front desk was friendly and very helpful, they gave us maps and information to down town and the National Park.
We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and found our newly renovated rooms to be modern and very clean. Please stay with us a again soon! Warm regards, Jane
Much better then we expected. The pictures on the web site are right on the money. King room was spacious, clean and well stocked. Plenty of room. Refrigerator, microwave and safe. About a 2o minute drive to Bar Harbor depending on traffic. !0 minutes to Arcadia Park. Lots of restaurants nearby. Wonderful breakfast room with many different choices. Very convenient and much more reasonable then down town hotels. Lovely grounds with outdoor pool, children's play are.
Susan It is always nice to offer what is "much better than expected". We appreciate your comments and for choosing to stay with us! We look forward to seeing you again! Best wishes, Jane
The room was very nice. Minor point, but the soap, lotion and shampoo was wonderful. Town was not fully open, we knew we were early in the season, but we had plans after our departure. Thunder hole was great, the storms the day before left the waves crashing and splashing! Been to Bar Harbor before, it is a nice town, getting a little run down from 10 years ago. But again the Best Western was totally comfortable, clean and breakfast was terrific.
Thank you for your stay and review. We are happy to hear that you have returned after 10 years. Please do not wait that long to come back again! Best wishes, Jane
Couldn't have asked for more. Clean, extremely comfortable bed, breakfast was excellent. Staff was friendly and helpful, providing information on the attractions. Would definately stay at this motel again.
We are all so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and we look forward to having you stay again! Warm regards, Jane
Clean rooms, breakfast with "make your own waffles" good TV and cosy carpet. I know this is just a detail, but i love the welcome cookies ;-). The motel has a perfect location to start the Acadia National Park visit. Our first time in a BW and we are quite convinced!
It pleases us to pieces to have your first stay at a Best Western be with us and delighted that you enjoyed it! Thank you very much for this awesome review! Our best, Jane
What a great hotel. We spent 4 days here and it was so close to everything, but far enough away so you weren't in congestion. Acadia is 2 miles away, and downtown is a few more. The front desk staff was so friendly and helpful and they even left us an anniversary card signed by many of the people who work there and some sparkling cider in our room for our anniversary, what a thoughtful thing to do Jill, in the breakfast room, was such a sweetheart. She was always so pleasant and greeted you with a smile when you came to eat breakfast. she did a great job getting all the breakfast items out and keeping them full. What a sweet sweet lady The rooms are very large, clean, and quiet. We stayed in the back area so it was away from the road. the rooms have been renovated and are very nice with a mini fridge and microwave, and also a small table and a couple chairs. Not sure if they added any sound proofing during the renovation but we couldn't hear the people on either side of us, which was great. We will definitely stay here again!
Wendy Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us when there are so many options in this area. We sure do appreciate your great review and we hope you are able to pay us a return visit soon! best wishes to you!! Jane
We were in area and didn't have a hotel - best western looked like a place to stay and it was very nice. Staff helpful and breakfast was hot with lots of variety - eggs sausage etc... Loved the stay and will be back later this year!
Thank you very much Alice for this lovely review. We are so pleased that you enjoye your stay well enough to plan on a return! Best wishes and we look forward to seeing you again soon. Jane
This is my second stay at Best Western Acadia Park Inn. We've stayed here two years ago during our first visit to Bar Harbor. I like this hotel, it makes me feel like home. Room is still clean and cozy as it was. Breakfast is free and the food is ok. I would highly recommend this hotel for family travel.
Thank you for your loyalty to the Best Western Acadia Park Inn! We are very grateful to have you post such a positive review for us and for this awesome recommendation to others! We look forward to seeing you again! Best wishes, Jane
Friendly staff, clean, quiet rooms with parking at your door, the most variety in an breakfast we have ever had at a motel and friendly, older hostess.The breakfast room opens at 6:30 a.m and there is a lot of activity with people trying to see the sun rise, but the room was never crowded. Very close to Acadia and Bar Harbor. We were there just at peak leaf time, but sadly the lobster pounds had closed by then. Still had wonderful fish and lobster rolls.
Thank you for your stay and your review. We are delighted that you had an enjoyable time and would book with us again! We hope to see you in 2017. Best wishes, Jane
Hotel in general is dated, but the bathroom was renovated. Front desk staff & cleaning crew were very friendly. My only grievances are that the bed & pillows were uncomfortable & the walls are paper thin. We could hear TVs and the bathroom activities of other guests at all hours of the night. My wife also did not like that they didn't have FS1 in their channel lineup, but we know that's minor in the grand scheme of things. The breakfast building was clean & breakfast was very good every morning. They switch it up a little each day & they were doing a great job at keeping things stocked & fresh. This BW is one of the few reasonably affordable places open this late in the year & it was an easy drive to/from Bar Harbor & Acadia.
I am happy that you found our location and price to your liking. We are continuing our renovations this winter. Please come back and check us out in 2017 . Best wishes, Jane
Very close to Acadia Park entrance. Close to good restaurants, and town of Bar Harbor. Staff super friendly and helpful. Rooms not spectacular but clean and well maintained. Breakfast is listed as continental, but is much more substantial than a usual continental breakfast. Free goodies in the front desk area in the afternoon. Motel like configuration allows you to park in front of your door. Very nice and FREE ! Couldn't be happier with our stay. Excellent value. Better book EARLY, it was full every day.
Thank you very much for this awesome review! You will love out new renovations coming this spring/summer! We hope to see you then! Regards, Jane
The bedding was so comfy. The breakfast had so much to choose from and even had eggs and sausage and waffles! It was conveniently close to Acadia National Park. We liked that it was single level and we could park right in front of our door. It was quiet and had a fan in the bathroom. The shower was hot and had a great shower head. The employees were very helpful and sent us to great restaurants in Bar Harbour. The cost to stay here was inexpensive and the location was convenient. They had a nice pool but it was too cold outside to swim. The television worked great. We loved our stay here and will come back!
It is always wonderful to hear from a guest that they loved their stay with us. We do hope that you will pay us another visit when in this area again. Thank you! Warm regards, Jane
We were looking for a hotel to spend one night on our road trip through New England. Since we typically stop around dinner time and are just spending one night, we are always looking for good value, but do not want to sacrifice cleanliness and comfort. This hotel hit the mark. A bonus was the wonderful breakfast- the largest selection of breakfast items we found on our trip. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Definitely would recommend this hotel.
Thank you very much for this recommendation to other potential guests. We are very pleased that you found us to be clean, accommodating and friendly with a good value! We hope to see you again in 2017. Best wishes, Jane
Beds were extra comfy and plenty of pillows. Definitely not a high end facility, but at a very reasonable price for the area. It was there last night of the season, so I was really skeptical of what the continental breakfast would have. Fear not the breakfast facility was super clean and unbelievably filled with all kinds of food from breads, oatmeal, fruit, kielbasa, scrambled eggs, hash browns, make your own waffles - juice and really good coffee. Room was plenty full sized, bathroom was older but super clean - towels were plentiful and actually dried. Location was advantageous to the park.
We are very pleased with your review.Thank you for your stay with us. We are in the process of renovating half of the rooms this winter and will complete that project next year after we close. We hope you will come back and see the changes made. Best wishes, Jane
This facility is about 8 km ( 5 mi) from the town of Bar Harbor and the nearest restaurant is about 3 km, but do not let that discourage you from choosing this location. The BW Acadia has several buildings and most rooms are at ground level ( a plus in my mind). We had a king bed room which was very roomy, very clean and well appointed. One thing I really noticed and liked is that the electrical outlets are located at about waist level making them very accessible. The breakfast room is located in a separate building, it is quite large with the seating area separated from the food area. Everything was clean, and bright. The food offerings are varied and well stocked. Cold cereals, waffles, eggs, corned beef hash , a variety of breads and pastries and fruit. If your visit to Bar Harbour is to include a big night on the town with having several " sociables" and you do not have a designated driver, then this may not be the place for you, otherwise this is a great place. We will return.
What a lovely review! We want to thank you for it and for your staying with us. We hope to see you again in 2017. Best wishes, Jane
This property is an excellent value while visiting Acadia National Park. It is within a few minutes of one entrance to the park. The rooms are basic but well maintained. The fan in the bathroom was a little loud but everything else worked well and was clean. The full breakfast made this an outstanding value. The dedicated breakfast room was inviting and well maintained. The breakfast is worth $15 per person considering the full fare and no tip required.
Calvin This is the first review that has actually mentioned a "dollar value" of our breakfast. It pleases us to no end that you enjoyed it and see it as an outstanding value! I will check on that fan. Thank you for the feedback and for this review! Regards, Jane
I was very pleasantly surprised with this motel, given the price we paid. Rooms were comfortable (though not perfect - more on that later), and staff (everyone from housekeeping to dining room staff to front desk) were very friendly and helpful. The outdoor pool is heated to 82 degrees, so it was still open when we were there in early Oct, though we didn't get a chance to use it. There is also some grassy areas and a toddler playground. What stood out for us was the breakfast. We were expecting a very minimal continental breakfast, and were pleasantly surprised with a fairly large smorgasbord of selections, both hot and cold. The dining "room" is in it's own separate building next to the office, and has ample seating, and like I said, lots of selection. Hot foods consisted of a different potato, meat, and egg selection each of the three days we were there, as well as a DIY waffle station with about 6 different toppings. Cold foods consisted of a large variety of breads/ bagels, pastries, and cereals, hard-boiled eggs, yogurts, and fruit (though that was minimal). Coffee, milk and juice of course, too. Filled us up with energy every day to tackle nearby Acadia, which is about a 5 minute drive from the hotel. Nearby (walking distance) also is Pirates Cove, a really awesome looking miniature golf place that were didn't get to try, but really want to! Rooms - not be best, but I really can't deduct any stars for this, given the price and the other excellent qualities of this motel. The rooms were small but clean, and well maintained. The toiletries were of a better quality than expected. Only real flaw was that where were only two drawers to place your clothes in, which is just not enough for 4 people! And there is no coat closet - just a hanging rack in the sink area. which is the other end of the room from the door. So yes, I'm sure you can find a better room for twice the price, and maybe even a slightly better breakfast and location if you're willing to pay even more than twice the price. For us, we'll happily return to the Best Western.
Thank you very much for your generous review! We are always happy to hear from our guests. It is especially nice to have you mention the breakfast offerings do vary so our guests do not have the same options every single day of their stay. We are doing intensive interior renovations to over half of our guest rooms this winter and the rest in 2018. Although they are clean and in good shape, we want to update to a more modern look. Rates will not be affected! Thank you again, Jane
WONDERFUL! Clean, attractive, good breakfast and the staff is friendly and accomodating. Amelia and the staff on duty are top notch. The location is close to everything. The area is safe and very quiet. I will stay there again!
Thank you very much for this great review and for being our guest! We appreciate the compliment's on staff and especially Amelia! We look forward to seeing you in 2017! Best wishes, Jane
Very friendly staff and very comfortable rooms. Free smores of an evening. Great hot breakfast every morning and not the same thing! Free local shuttle pickup in front of the hotel. Good price for as close to the park as it is.
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. When you are travelling in this area again, please call us for your reservations. Warm regards, Jane
Our room was clean. The beds were very comfortable. The sink & shower were separated. This is nice when traveling with a friend. Breakfast was included & it was pretty good. Everyone at the motel was very friendly. The price was reasonable. We had been on the road for a week so we used the laundry facilities.
We appreciate your positive feedback. We look forward to having you stay with us again. Warm regards, Jane
This is the second time my wife and I stayed here. This year we stayed 3 nights. It is a great location to visit Arcadia National Park, Northeast Harbor and the Bass Lighthouse. On this visit we drove to the Petite Manon and Moosehorn National Wildlife refuges which are a great day trip on US1 near the Canadian Border.. The hotel is clean and comfortable and although they call it a continental breakfast it is much more with a good variety. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
We are happy you have stayed with us again this year. Thank you for your loyalty! We look forward to welcoming you back for a third visit! Best wishes, Jane
When we got to the hotel they had no record of our reservation. I showed them the confirmation email and they said they couldn't do anything about it because they were fully booked and blamed it on the computers. We booked it on booking.com and apparently they were having troubles with the website. They treated it as a "oh well not our fault" situation that the computers lost our reservation. Eventually they were able to find us an extra room that was available and charged us more than what we would have paid for the original room we booked. No price reduction or anything complimentary for the hassle of them losing our reservation. Also, the pictures on booking.com are of the Best Western in downtown bar harbor. Other than that we had a nice stay. The complimentary breakfast was really good and room was clean. Probably wouldn't stay again though.
I do apologize for this situation. Looking at the reservation history, it looks like the reservation was cancelled shortly after it was made on line. I am happy we were able to accommodate you after all. The room rate charged was matched to that of the cancelled booking. I truly am sorry for the confusion but happy you had a room and all worked out well. Best wishes, Jane
Stayed in this hotel for 8 days on a vacation to Acadia National Park. I wanted something affordable, but convenient to the park and this property fit the bill perfectly. While I generally like Best Western as a brand, I am always a little nervous about properties with external rooms. This property was clean and well maintained. The breakfast was served from 6:30 to 10:00 am and was one of the best hotel breakfasts I have experiences for it's variety and the size of the breakfast area. It was typical hotel breakfast fair, but items did rotate throughout my stay. I was traveling with 4 other family members and everyone found something they wanted from eggs to oatmeal to sausage and hashbrowns. There was even almond milk, which was a first for me at a motel. Even better was that the breakfast staff was courteous and efficient keeping everything well stocked and maintained. There were also newspapers in the breakfast area, including the weekly Acadia paper that highlighted events at the park. Our rooms were cleaned as expected and kept stocked with soaps and shampoos. Beds were comfortable and rooms had a refrigerator and microwave. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful and fresh baked cookies brought some of my party back a few days. The laundry facilities were just a bit odd in that that were outside, but we were fortunate in that our room was pretty close. I guess when the rooms are all external there isn't a place for laundry inside, but if the property were to ever be renovated I would recommend enclosing the laundry - it was a bit cold doing laundry at night, not to mention my Dad dropping items in the parking lot on his way to the washing machines. The front desk provided change for use of the machines and everything worked so aside from the fact it was outside, there were no issues. The property had smores nightly in a campfire area. We joked about it each night, but never made it to having smores, but I thought that was a cute idea that kids may like. Overall, everyone in my party enjoyed their stay at this motel and it turned out to be a great value. Yes, you could stay at the expensive and beautiful resorts in the area, but if you are like my family and only spend time in your room to sleep, why spend more money when you can get everything you want and need at a more affordable price? It was also nice to see that the staff seemed happy and we didn't note a grumpy employee in the lot.
We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. We thank you for choosing the Best Western Acadia Park Inn as your lodging and for this awesome review! We will be doing renovations to the laundry area ( undoubtedly enclosing at least a portion) and we are doing many guest room renovations and upgrades over this winter. We do hope you will return and try one of the S'Mores.They are not just for kids!! Best wishes, Jane
Little motel was great! Very convenient to all, and comfortable with your car right by your room making it easy to access your luggage. Breakfast was excellent, and the ladies working the dining room were very nice and serviceable. Would definitely consider staying here again. This is our second time in Bar Harbor and would definitely stay here again.
It is wonderful to have a guest say they will come back and stay again! Thank you and we sure appreciate your review! Our best to you! Jane
This hotel is located near the entrance to Acadia National Park so it is a great place to stay if you are visiting there. The staff is friendly and helpful, the rooms were great , and there is a good breakfast, which they call "continental" but is more than just cereal and toasted bread. It has hot and cold items and one morning the staff passed out warm scones that were delicious! The staff knows the area and can give good recommendations for places to visit and to eat. The only drawback is the distance from Bar Harbor itself makes it not walkable. You definitely have to drive in if you want to shop or eat in the town. We always managed to find a parking spot even in the middle of the October tourist season but it was crowded! We would definitely stay here again. The price is reasonable even in the tourist season and it is a great place to be for visiting everything in the area.
We had travelled to Bar Harbor previously and stayed at a Holiday Inn, but our stay at the Best Western Acadia Inn outshined the previous visit. All was perfect. Wish we could have stayed more time than the two nights.
Wow The Acadia Park Inn had many home-like features. The bar and sitting room was quite cozy, even the Lobby. Pretty views out of our room's window, too. Easy access to Acadia National Park. Use this Best Western Hotel to launch off on your tour of one of this country's most engaging national treasures. Eat a hearty breakfast at the Inn first!
Hotel is motel style which was rather nice after many nights of hauling suitcases up and down stairs. The staff were all knowledgeable about the area and able to give good recommendations for shopping, dining and attractions. Breakfast was one of the best we have had.
When we arrived we were surprised that the inn was a complex of four single story buildings and not a multi-story motel. We checked in and went to our room expecting one comparable to a mom and pop roadside motel. Were we surprised. The room was large, modern and clean. You would have thought that you were staying at a Best Western Plus or better. The nice thing about a one story building is that there is no one walking above your head making it a nice quiet place to stay. As one reviewer says, "a nice alternative to busy Bar Harbor." The staff is very professional and helpful. Yes, parking is outside your front door. No need to remember where you parked your car. Even though the motel has a Bar Harbor address, it is six miles out of town.
This is a great place to stay for a Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park visit! The rooms were large, very clean, quiet, and comfortable. Their continental breakfast was much better than normally experienced. Give a try—you will be happy that you did!
What a great recommendation! Thanks so much for taking the time to review your stay with us. We are happy you had a good time and we hope to see you again in 2017! Best wishes, Jane
This is a very nice motel with the excellent service and the clean and comfortable rooms. It was provided a free good full and tasty breakfast. The motel located a few miles from Acadia National Park.
We are so happy to read your awesome review and thank you very much for the many compliments. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and welcome you back as soon as you can come again! Warm regards, Jane
This was a first visit to the area and chose the Best Western because of it proximity to Acadia National Park and also because it had good reviews on trip advisor. The room was nice and very clean. The staff was always very helpful and pleasant. Breakfast every morning was great! And I can't forget to mention Jill on the breakfast staff, she was such a sweetheart. All in all a nice place to stay.
Thank you very much for choosing to stay with us for your first visit to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park! We appreciate the compliments on our cleanliness and helpful, pleasant staff. Jill is a sweetheart and we are pleased that you found that to be true as well! Please come back to see us again in 2017! Best wishes, Jane
Great location if you're looking to avoid the "chaos" of Bar Harbor. Quieter setting tucked into and area with some nice wooded and green space to enjoy in the evening. I spent most of my time in Acadia National Park, so the location was perfect - just a few miles from Hull's Cove entrance and easier access to Highway 1 if you're heading to the Schoodic side of the park (highly recommended) Just over 2 miles from a beautiful Frenchman's Bay Sunrise. Venturing into Bar Harbor is still easy if you want to take in a tour, kayak, or check out the Bar Island Path - but beware parking can be tricky. Better continental breakfast than I'm used to seeing in comparable hotels. I'm not a B&B or Luxury hotel gal, and was unsure about renting a cottage (being a solo traveler) - A little more than I would normally spend on a room (but hotels here seemed pricier than other national park destinations - and my room was more spacious than anticipated) This turned out to be the perfect place for my Acadia Park vacation.
Thank you very much for this awesome review! We are delighted that you found our hotel and setting to be the perfect place for your visit to Acadia National Park! We look forward to seeing you again . Best wishes, Jane
Though a little old, this Inn is maintained up to date. The staff is very friendly and knowledgable. The cleaning crew is excellent and truly take pride in their work. In addition, the staff that prepare and care for the breakfast is wonderful. They provide a buffet style breakfast, not a continental one with excellent food.
Thank you for your review and for being our guests. We do hope you will come back and stay with us in 2017. Best wishes, Jane
This is my third visit to this property in the course of 25 years. To me it reflects what Mt. Desert Island is all about, natural but modern with all the convinces. The hotel has kept up with all modern deco trnds and technologies, and now they have a all new Breakfast room. You can park right in-front of your room. Staff is super friendly.
Thank you for staying with us again We appreciate your loyalty and continued trust in our hotel and staff. Rest assured that we will do everything it takes to make us deserving of that loyalty! Warm regards, Jane
Good location for visiting the Park. Overpriced for the quality. Was clean and with easy access. When checking out, I noticed being charged a higher price for the second night. Since I reserved both nights at the same time and with a credit card, it was disconcerting to discover they had changed my rate without telling me in advance. Only after much complaining did they change it back to what it should have been to start with.
Thank you for staying with us. I apologize that during the course of extending your stay by one night , you encountered the rate increase that occurs during the Columbus Day Weekend. Rates change various times throughout our summer season and many times they occur during a stay. We are happy your found our hotel to be clean and with easy access. Please stay again! Regards, Jane
First of all, we're spoiled. We're used to staying at the The Bayview Inn, a gorgeous inn that's about as good as it gets. The 5 stars I'm giving to the Best Western takes in consideration other motels in its price range and in that category, this motel was perfect for us - lots of room, comfy beds, a modern room safe, great service, much better than average free breakfast, plenty of towels and just about anything you'd need. The only complaint might be the fact that if you're used to a nice desk for your computer, you'll get a table instead, and I'd suggest bringing your own power strip to hook it into. We had to unplug the microwave, so this isn't a business motel but a very nice family/traveler motel. Someone complained also that the 2 washers and 2 dryers are located outside with just a bit of overhead cover, but with the weather warm enough, I just didn't mind that. In fact, the fresh air was nicer than being in a cramped laundry area reeking of perfumed detergent. We didn't use the pool but it looked inviting. Our room was very quiet. We were in the farthest building back, in an end room, so really, VERY little noise and parking next to the door is great, especially when you're older and are a bit handicapped. We had 2 queen beds - very roomy. Some people might complain that the decor isn't modern, but we found it much more appealing and comfortable than a stark room with very modern furnishings where we stayed two nights of our trip. We missed the ocean view but then again, we were on the ocean or by it almost every day anyway, so not a huge loss. So, save some money and give the Best Western Acadia Park Inn a try. Its very close to a park entrance, which is nice too and we didn't mind the drive into town. If you need a taxi, we recommend Point 2 Point, very reasonable rates, I think about $12.50 plus tip to take us downtown.
Thank you very much for these lovely comments! We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us and we do hope you will stay with us again. Our décor is getting an facelift this year and we intend to keep it cozy and comfortable. Best wishes to you, Jane
Great place to stay. Friendly staff and very helpful. Quiet. Grounds neat and tidy. Great breakfast. Welcome gift was a nice surprise. Cookies in afternoon was awesome. Can't say enough positives about our stay.
We appreciate these awesome comments and descriptions of our property, amenities and staff. Please come back and stay again! Thank you! Warm regards, Jane
I recently stayed there for 3 nights and I absolutely loved it! The front desk staff was friendly, kind and helpful.The room was spotless and had everything you would need- coffee maker, safe, microwave,and fridge.The bathroom was clean and the shower had great water pressure. The bed was so comfortable and was dressed with 4 pillows and warm linens. The free breakfast offered everything from make- your- own Belgian waffles to oatmeal, cereal, omelettes, sausage patties, corned beef hash, toast, bagels, muffins, juice, coffee, tea and fresh fruit. All in all , I found it to be a wonderful place to stay and look forward visiting again.
Thank you!! We sure do "aim to please" and very happy that we did so. Please come back and see us in 2017! Thank you for staying with us. Warm regards, Jane
This hotel met all of our expectations. Our room was clean and quiet. We had, free parking which was outside of our door. The superb continental breakfast was held in a separate, nearby building. The location was also less than 10 minutes from the entrance of Acadia.
Michelle We all thank you very much for these wonderful comments and compliments. To have met all of your expectations is awesome! We look forward to having you visit us again! best wishes, Jane
Our one night stay was pleasant and the staff very helpful. The rooms were clean, pleasantly decorated and the shower was so wonderful for my sore muscles. The surrounding area has many types of entertainment. The scenic vistas were amazing.
Thank you Kathleen for this review and for staying with us. We are very happy that you found your stay to be enjoyable. Please visit us again! Best wishes, Jane
Hotel was quiet and clean. Bed was very uncomfortable. Breakfast was okay. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Closely located to Acadia NP. Did not find the free breakfast very good, however, I am sure it would have been adequate for most people..
Thank you for your review. We provide countless items for the free breakfast and I apologize that we did not include whatever you were looking for. I am happy you found the staff very friendly and accommodating and your room clean and quiet. We do hope you will give us another chance in 2017. We are doing major updating to many of our rooms this year and we are very excited. Best wishes, Jane
The room was comfortable with a microwave and fridge. The bathroom was really large, clean and modern. It was about 10 minutes from Bar Harbor and the price was right. It had an awesome complimentary breakfast which made the price worth it. They also take AARP and AAA discounts which help with the overall stay. They also serve s'mores by the common outside area in the evening. A nice place.
Robert, we appreciate your choosing to stay with us. Thank you for the great compliments on our breakfast and rooms. We do offer many forms of discounts including being a Best Western Rewards member! Thank you for mentioning the discounts. Please come back and visit with us again in 2017! Best wishes, Jane
The beds at this Best Western were so comfortable they almost ruined our vacation. We didn't want to get out of them!! Seriously, the staff was awesome, the rooms were clean and functional, and the breakfast setup was complete.
WOW! What a lovely review of your stay, our staff and amenities. Thank you so much. We are very happy that you loved the beds. I found them so comfortable that I purchased one for myself! We hope you will come back in 2017 to enjoy the new changes we have in store. Regards, Jane
Good hotel at a value price. Close to park entrance (3 miles) and 6 miles from downtown Bar Harbor. Rooms were clean, breakfast normal for this type of hotel but of good quality. We would stay at this location again.
Thank you for this review and it is wonderful to know you will be back to stay again. Warm regards, Jane
We stayed here for two nights while visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. At first I was worried that this motel might be too far from town but it turns out this was PERFECTLY located. Very close to the entrance to Acadia and just minutes from the bustling downtown of Bar Harbor. Hotel front desk exceedingly friendly and helpful. The rooms large and very clean. Beds comfy and bathroom clean with plenty of towels.Breakfast was the typical hotel fare but plentiful and the breakfast area clean and well run by two very friendly and also very helpful ladies who are great sources of info about the area. We had to leave early due to a medical emergency in our family back home or we would have stayed several days longer. I would not hesitate to stay here again.
We are very pleased that you found our location to be perfect for you! Thank you for staying with us and for this awesome review of your stay and our staff! We love knowing you will stay with us again! Best wishes, Jane
my husband and I visited bar harbor area for the first time and we choose to stay at the best western hotel located about 4 miles from downtown. great location, great stay, great staff. Everyone was friendly and helpful. breakfast was good, room was great and clean. other guests were friendly also. had an outdoor grill for our use and also a fire pit where we were able to make smores and sit around and get to know the other guests as we did.
We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and participated in the S'Mores! Our guests seem to find that socializing by the fire pit fun! Thank you for the stay and this wonderful review! Best wishes, Jane
This hotel is decent, especially for the price. Very friendly staff, helpful to find a local restaurant and hints about things to do. Breakfast is a little better and more variety than most chain hotels. About 10-15m from the town proper of Bar Harbor, but a lot less crazy out here. Rooms are clean and a little plain, but we didn't spend much time in the room so did not care at all. Queen bed was comfortable enough. Fresh warm cookies on arrival, a nice touch after a 13h drive. We would stay here again.
A 13 hour drive! WOW! Thank you for travelling that far to stay here with us in Bar Harbor,Maine. We are updating many of our rooms this year so we are excited to have you notice the upgrades next spring! We look forward to your return. Warm regards, Jane
Stayed here for two nights while visiting Acadia National Park. This hotel is just just outside the town of Bar Harbor. It is far enough away to escape the crowds, but a short ten-minute drive takes you to the town and Acadia National Park was even closer. The room was clean and had everything you need, and breakfast was adequate. Coffee and tea are available all day, and there are cookies available in the evening. The hotel is set back from the road, so rooms towards the back are very quiet.
We are glad you found us to be a good choice for your lodging here in Bar Harbor. We are a quiet property and as you mentioned, just a short drive to town and the crowds. Thank you for posting this charming review for us! Best wishes, Jane
Very clean rooms, quiet atmosphere. Hike or bike in the Park and get a good night's sleep here. The breakfast is very good, with eggs, waffles, yogurts, cereals, muffins, coffee, juices all available. Staying here you're able to avoid the traffic and crowds of downtown Bar Harbor, as you can enter the Park on the NE side at the Hulls Cove entrance just a few miles from the Best Western.
What a lovely review! Thank you very much and we do hope to see you again in 2017! Best wishes, Jane
An easy to find very good location outside of downtown Bar Harbor and close to Acadia park entrance. with nice rooms and helpful staff. breakfast is very good with large seating area and good options to select from.
William We sure do appreciate your compliments! Thank you for staying with us and for this nice review. Come again! Regards, Jane
This hotel has clean, comfortable rooms. The beds are great and the refrigerator and microwave were nice to have during our stay. The staff at the front desk was friendly and helpful. The swimming pool was clean and very welcome on hot days especially. The reason I didn't rate this a 5 was due solely to the breakfast that is included with the room. The food was what you would expect but the staff simply was unable to keep up with the demand. There were just 2 people working the breakfast area both mornings and they were completely overwhelmed and unable to put food out fast enough. The hotel was sold out both nights we were there but that isn't a surprise to the management and they should increase staffing on days the hotel is full. Overall a good stay but maybe we should have had breakfast in town.
Room was large and well appointed with microwave, fridge and safe. Room was clean and bed was very comfortable. Staff was pleasant. Would recommend as a reasonable place located off the road and outside the hubbub of the downtown area.
What a wonderful review! Thank you so much for staying with us and for this great recommendation to others. Best wishes, Jane
very nice room. plenty of space. very clean and well maintained. very good breakfast with a wide selection. very accommodating and helpful staff. good location, right on rte.3 leading to Bar Harbor. I was here to hike and explore Acadia National Park. Our group stayed at various locations. I found it suitable for my needs.
John, We appreciate the nice review and we are delighted that you found what you needed here with us. Please come again Regards, Jane
terrible room, food, billing policy ,3 weeks before we got there!!!!! pkg. for our room, appliances, tv channel selection, I would suggest anyone to stay here.not enough storage, micro-wave too small. people usually heat more than a drink.
Joseph ,I apologize for your unhappiness with your room and amenities. Frankly, I am perplexed. The early billing was due to the travel agency that you used. Best wishes, Jane
Very comfortable, breakfast provided as well as snacks in the afternoon and s'mores at night. Helpful and friendly staff. Nice to have fridge, microwave and safe in the room. Room was well taken care of. We had a room out back very quiet in the evening. Even though it was the end of September it was still warm enough to enjoy the pool as it was heated to a very comfortable temperature.
We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and found all the extra amenities to your liking. Please stay with us again! best wishes, Jane
clean, helpful staff, delicious breakfast, central location to acadia national park, easy access to free bus, quiet location, beautiful older trees, well-kept property, would stay here again any time, great easy access parking, heated pool for kids and adults
It is always a pleasure to hear guests say they will stay again when in the area. Thank you for such a nice review. We look forward to seeing you again. Regards, Jane
The room is so-so. Our first day we were greeted with fruit flies. They would hover over the sink. The night manager was unhelpful "it is a natural occurrence" and "the winter hasn't killed the bugs yet" but the day manager was on the ball and had maintenance empty the drain finding a bucket full of flies. Nice guy. Internet is spotty. We had to restart our kindles over and over. The rooms are clean and the entire facility is clean. Standard breakfast with frozen eggs, make your own waffles, etc. Wouldn't stay here again.
I do apologize for the fruit fly situation. I am not sure why you experienced them but we did remedy the situation upon notification. I am sorry that you would not stay with us again. We do hope you will reconsider. Thank you. Regards, Jane
In the context of the very expensive Mount Desert Island/Acadia market, the Best Western was a good value and a pleasant property. It was extremely clean and the staff was especially pleasant and helpful. Its principal drawback is its distance from the primary attractions on the Island, and that probably is reflected in the price.
We are very happy to have exceeded your expectations! Thank you for staying with us and sharing in your experiences here for others to see. We are 4 and 1/2 miles from downtown waterfront and 2 miles to the Acadia National Park entrance and visitor's center. We hope to see you again next year! Best wishes, Jane
Staff and room were outstanding! Enjoyed ourselves thoroughly for the workshop. The scones and cookies were delicious. Also, the scrambled eggs and maple sausage slices were great. Wish they were every day! Location for our workshop was super, as with four years ago.
Thank you Mikki for such a nice review of your week long stay! We are very happy to be the host hotel for the workshop and we hope to see you all again next year! Warm regards, Jane
We started our hotel stay with a warm reception by hotel employees. After checking us in and answering our questions, we were directed to our room (FYI - it is a Motel) and they invited us to participate in their nightly s'mores campfire. The room was nice - roomy but dated. There were a few repairs that needed to be made to the room, including a break in the shower wall where the handle meets the wall, some stains in the grout work, and an odor in the room. We overlooked these minor issues because the price was right - and the room was clean. The big sell to us was the included breakfast - they described it to us as "deluxe", and deluxe it was! There were many options to choose from, including hot breakfast items including a waffle station.
Thank you for your stay with us and your review. We are always doing renovations and this fall/winter will be no exception! We are purchasing new furniture to replace the "dated" pieces and we hope you will come back and check us out next season! Regards, Jane
I read Trip Advisor for a Bar Harbor hotels and thought the reviews on this hotel were good so I tried it. We stayed 4 nights. Although the outside looks old.. I was very pleased - Clean, very comfortable beds, updated and nice. Breakfast was a good start to the day, cookies at night and samores over a campfire at 7 pm. Would definitely stay here again. Hotel staff very friendly and gracious.
We are very happy to hear that you were pleased with your four night stay. Thank you for choosing to stay with us based on the TripAdvisor comments! We are always a "work in progress" and as you might ascertain, have spent the lion's share on interior renovations. We are an older property but have updated our entire property since purchase over six years ago. The exterior is not modern like many places but is clean and lush with flower gardens and comfortable with numerous settees. We are pleased you enjoyed the nightly S'mores around the fire pit and the afternoon cookies. We will be waiting for that return visit! Thank you. Best wishes, Jane
this hotel is about 3 miles from downtown bar harbor. very quite room. comfortable beds. room could use a little updating which I understand is going to happen. nice breakfast room with good service. front desk personnel are lovely, rooms are cleaned well.
We are delighted to have had you stay with us. The housekeeping, breakfast, and front desk staff appreciate the kudo's. We are indeed updating again this winter. It is exciting to make improvements for our awesome guests! We believe you will find the changes to your liking on your next visit! Warm regards, Jane
Highly recommend this Best Western. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Clean and comfortable rooms. Great value. Good breakfast. Convenient location. Acadia is absolutely beautiful. Enjoy the park and the town!
How nice of a review! Thank you for taking the time and for the recommendation to other potential guests. We appreciate you. Best wishes, Jane
The room was clean, the staff courteous and the grounds well cared for. The bw was just a quick drive from the park and bar harbor. We are usually very critical of where we stay and will have nothing but pleasant things to say about this stay. Thank you!
It is wonderful to know that you enjoyed your stay with us so much that you will stay with us again when returning to Bar Harbor. Thank you for staying and for this delightful review. Best wishes, Jane
This was a great choice of places to stay. Clean, very comfortable beds, updated and nice. Coffee maker in room plus microwave and refrigerator were put to good use. Breakfast was a good start to the day, and samores over a campfire a warm finish. Would definitely stay here again.
Right off of route 3, so convenient to state park and bar harbor. room was very clean, quiet. breakfast great! we would stay here again. the grounds were very neat and the staff was helpful and friendly.
It is always wonderful to read that a guest will stay with us again when in the area! Thank you for this nice review and for being our guests! Best wishes, Jane
Well the size of this motel might be slightly intimidating the staff could not have been more gracious and it was the best breakfast that we had on our entire trip. The location was very convenient to Bar Harbor, the national Park, and Southwest Harbor
We appreciate that you found our breakfast to be the best on your trip! That tells us we are doing breakfast right. Thank you for staying with us when there are so many options in the area. We are happy you found the staff to be gracious, as they should be. We hope you will stay again. Warm regards, Jane
This is a ‘single floor' location with convenient drive up parking right at your room door. It is a few miles (approx 10 minutes) drive into downtown Bar Harbor. Front desk associates were very helpful with area information upon our check in. LL Bean sponsored area Free Island Explorer Shuttle bus will stop at the roadway area for trips into downtown Bar Harbor---lots of traffic during the summer and finding available parking in the downtown area can be an adventure of its own. Hotel Lobby area has coffee/tea available round the clock and cookies offered at 3PM…note there is a special on Wednesday's –“ whoopee pies”, which went quickly on our rainy Wednesday afternoon. Lobby area offered special ‘blueberry' coffee which was delicious. There is a small playground area (tot lot) in the back of the property. Outdoor pool, but we didn't have an opportunity to include that during our stay. Our room was clean and very adequate for our family of 4 with 2 young adult boys. Enough linens, towels for all and toiletries provided. Bathroom sink (with shelf below) is outside of the door area of the shower/toilet area, which was very helpful for our family. Comfortable A/C, TV, Microwave, frig, hairdryer, coffee/tea maker, ironing board/iron in the room; WIFI worked fine. Full breakfast is provided in a separate building very near the rooms. There was absolutely everything(!!) you could think of (hot and cold) available for breakfast that was kept supplied and all was very good, but not in this area was the specialty blueberry coffee..? There were enough tables and chairs to accommodate small and large groups, as well as trays to take out back to your room. There is a very clean, well stocked Hannaford Supermarket in downtown Bar Harbor area with an adequate parking area. There are many things to do in the Bar Harbor area---see other Trip Advisor reviews for attractions in Acadia National Park, Abbe Museum, Atlantic Brewery, Bar Harbor Cellars Winery, Agamont Park, Shore Path, Village Green, shopping, restaurants (Mainely BBQ, Peppers pizza, West Street Café) in the area.
We thank you Mary for this informative and lovely review. I think you have caught on to our specialty coffee placement. We love to have our guests visit the lobby and that is a sure fire way to get you in so we are able to say hello and ask how your stay is going! Blueberry is a favorite in the summer as the pumpkin is in the fall. (So pleased that you enjoyed it! )We hope your family enjoyed the S'Mores at least one of the evenings at the S'mores fire pit near the playground? We look forward to seeing you all again. Thank you for this review! Best wishes, Jane
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Best Western Acadia. It was VERY clean, spacious and comfortable. It was honestly one of the cleanest hotels we have stayed at. They offer complimentary breakfast which was decent and in a nice facility. Your room includes toiletries from Bath&Body Works, a microwave, a safe and a small fridge. The staff was friendly and professional. It is a short drive (maybe 8 minutes?) from the Acadia Park and downtown Bar Harbor. Not walking distance, but we liked being in a quieter location and away from the commotion in town. For being a more affordable hotel, this really impressed us. Thank you Best Western Acadia!
Thank you for this great review. Our housekeeping staff is very happy to know their hard work is truly appreciated. We hope you will be able to stay with us again soon! Best wishes, Jane
The room was clean and spacious, but if you stay hear, you better hope you don't have anyone staying in the adjoining rooms. You hear everything...I mean everything, from doors slamming to showers, to toilets flushing, to voices. Yes, you can hear every word that is uttered. So if lack of privacy iis what you strive for, stay here.
Gina and Mike, I apologize for the noisy night you experienced! It is rare l that we get a noise complaint and I will definitely will be looking into what we can do to prevent this from happening again. I may e-mail you privately through Tripadvisor if I am unable to identify what room you were in. Please know that we want all of our guests to have a restful night and we wish you had mentioned this while you were here at the property .We might have been able to remedy the situation at that time. Warm regards, Jane
Second time we've chosen this spot as our Acadia home base. Quite adequate. Nothing fancy but spacious rooms, clean, working air conditioning, easy parking, and very cordial staff. Breakfast is just fine if you choose well. Will stay again.
Beckie, Thank you for choosing to stay with us again! That is a huge compliment! We look forward to your next stay! Warm regards, Jane
My family and I stayed here during the last full week of August and it exceeded our expectations! Room was extremely clean, the staff was helpful and friendly, and contrary to what some others have said I thought the continental breakfast was great! Very broad selection that changed slightly everyday.
We sure do appreciate your staying with us for the week and happy that we exceeded your expectations! That is our goal. We try to vary the breakfast daily so those who do stay longer than two or three days will not be bored with the same menu. We hope you will stay with us again. Best wishes, Jane
We loved staying at the Acadia Park Inn, Bar Harbor, ME! It had every amenity to make us comfortable. A very clean, large, comfortable room with new pillow-top mattress, micro, fridge, safe, Wi-Fi , color flat screen TV with cable. The bathroom facilities had all the conveniences and a fantastic Sunbeam shower head! It was about 4 miles to the Acadia Park Main Entrance and access to the free buss that travels throughout the Island.
We love that you loved your stay with us! Thank you for this awesome review and please, come back again soon! Warm wishes, Jane
Everything about this hotel worked well for my husband and me: the king size bed was comfortable and had just the right bedding, the shower/toilet were separated from the sink area, parking was directly in front of our unit, there was a pool, play space for kids and a fire pit outside for families, the AC was quiet and didn't blow on us, and the room was clean. The breakfasts consisted of many choices and there was lots of seating available.
We appreciate your favorable review very much and so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us. It sure hope you will come back soon! Best wishes, Jane
We were initially booked at the Bar Harbor Motel and when we arrived, we were told that an "emergency" developed and our room was not available. (Over booked?) They did make arrangements for us at the Best Western prior to our arrival and created a smooth ,but nerve racking stressful event. To our surprise, the Bar Harbor Motel did us a great favor. The Best Western was really great. The room was super clean, the service was impeccable and the included breakfast was truly varied and co plete for anyone's taste. A definite gem!
Thank you very much Walter for such a nice review and we are happy things turned out well. I do believe it was a plumbing issue with the other hotel and I am happy we had availability here for you. Please stay with us again! Warm regards, Jane
This motel is located about 5 miles outside Bar Harbor. The rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable. The pillow top king bed in our room was especially comfortable. Rooms come with refrigerators and microwaves. There is a heated outside pool as well as access to a washer and dryer for laundry. Rooms all have outside access. The continental breakfast tried but was lacking. Corned beef hash tasted like it came from a can without being cooked. The hash brown potatoes were barely thawed let alone cooked. Waffles were good but the line was long. They had two four slice tasters that either didn't toast or burnt your toast. Disappointing given the cost and effort they put into providing what could have been a nice breakfast. Breakfast tip: if there is no line make a waffle, get some sausage, grab a cup of coffee. The butter is chilled so it won't melt on the waffles. Avoid toasting anything. Breakfast is free, so I probably shouldn't complain at all. It is terrible that you stay at what really is a nice motel and all you can remember is the disaster at breakfast.
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. We apologize that our free deluxe breakfast did not meet your expectations. We hope you will stay with us again. We are happy you liked your stay otherwise. Best wishes, Jane
Excellent service, very nice staff, very clean room, perfect for the tour of Acadia State Park. This hotel exceeds the usual breakfast and friendly way of Best Western. The rooms are very nice and spacious. Pool is available. You need a car to go around, especially when you wish to go to Bar Harbor. Little hint, do not forget to go to Bridge Street and walk the sand bar to the Island when there is low tide. The near by Charter house restaurant is great for dinner.
Thank you for staying with us and for this review. We are happy you found us to be a "great stay" and our breakfast to exceed the usual. We do hope to see you again soon! Best wishes, Jane
We had gone with low expectations but really liked the place. Our 5 year old had a great time with their fireplace and smores The place is a little bit away from bar harbor so you need to be ready for a 20 minute drive in and out of town We would highly recommend this to others
Thank you for staying with us and for this awesome review "excellent value" and we are happy your little one enjoyed the S'mores in the evening. We are 4 1/2 miles from the downtown waterfront. We sure do appreciate your recommendation to others! Regards, Jane
Both the rooms and the hotels where very clean when we arrived. The front desk was great at both places. this was our 4th or 5th stay at a Best Western. it was a joy to be there and all the workers where friendly and answered any questions we had. The breakfasts at both hotels we stayed at where well prepared and delicious. Will we stay again at a Best Western? Without a hesitation WE WILL.
Thank you Bruce for your loyalty to our Best Western brand! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us and we look forward to a return visit! Best wishes, Jane
The place was perfect. We did not spend much time in the room so we were not after a five star room. The outside of the buildings look older but the inside of the rooms were definitely updated. They were very clean everyday. We had a room with two queen beds. The hotel was out of the way of the hustle and bustle of downtown Bar Harbor and very close to the park entrance. The breakfast was great. Lots of hot choices and lots of food. Definitely more than a continental breakfast. The pool was small but we were not there for the pool. Very close to the miniature golf course, one restaurant and an ice cream place.
We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us and found the BEST WESTERN Acadia Park Inn to serve you well! We hope to see you again. Regards, Jane
We stayed at the Best Western because of it's value and location to the Park entrance. The grounds were beautiful. The breakfast area was very large and the serving area was walled off from the dining area. Our room was perfect for our stay and was very clean. The staff were extremely professional helpful and very professional. They have a discount on a harbor tour which we took. It was fantastic. You can pay twice or more as much for a place with an ocean view, or you can stay here and enjoy great service and spend your savings on your hearts desire.
How well put! Even though Bar Harbor is located on an island, there are not many places that actually have a water view. Those that do generally do cost more for that benefit. We are happy to hear that you found us to be perfect for your needs and we look forward to seeing you again. Warm regards, Jane
This Best Western is truly a step above. Great rooms with the most comfortable beds. A great pool and playground kept my grandson happy (and me too). Breakfast was awesome as were the S'more each evening. Acadia is a beautiful park and this Best Western made it even better
We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay with us! The nightly S'mores is a new addition to us this year and we are enjoying offering that free to our guests. You made our day stating that we are "A step above!!" Thank you so much, Jane
Just enjoyed a 4 day stay in Bar Harbor and this hotel was perfect. Abit off the busy chaos of Bar Harbor yet close to everything. Very clean, very pleasant and helpful staff, great linens....all the things we like in a place to stay. Has an old fashioned "motel -motor lodge" feel which was perfect for our stay. Enjoyable outside spaces ro relax, awesome breakfast, and quiet. Will recommend AND will choose again when we return.
How nice to hear you will stay with us again and also recommend us to others! We love our open spaces and serene property and happy that you were able to stay four days with us! We will look for you to come back again. Best wishes to you, Jane
This is a very nice, clean hotel on the road to Bar Harbor that does not break the budget. The rooms are comfortable, the pool is nice, and the grounds are peaceful. The staff are all very helpful and friendly. They are able to give good ideas and advice on things to do in Acadia.
Thank you Ellie for this lovely review and for staying with us on your visit to the Bar Harbor region! We appreciate your awesome compliments from grounds, rooms to staff! Please stay with us again soon! Jane
Nice hotel located just north of the park entrance. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Room was clean and beds very comfortable. Breakfast a big plus so we could get a bite and head out for the day.
Debra Thank you for your lovely review! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us .A clean room, comfy bed and great breakfast all matter when on a vacation. We are pleased you found all of that while staying with us! Warm regards, Jane
This is a motel style accommodation on the edge of Acadia national park. Rooms are spacious and clean with good air con. There is a small gated pool, a playground for small children, a laundry and free tea, coffee and cookies throughout the day. The hotel is around a 15 min drive from Bar Harbour - which can be difficult to park in and easy to get a ticket if you do. There is a shuttle bus (provided by the park) that stops outside the hotel. It runs every 30 to 60 mins depending on the time of day and stops at all of the hotels along the way. I found this a pain to be honest as we were not in control of when we went into the town/came home. The buses were crowded and over warm ( heating on full blast in mid August) and you need to be at the bus stop 20 mins before it left to guarantee getting on. Breakfast was of average standard and there was free wi-fi - always useful. A good base to explore the area but it isn't in the heart of the action
We appreciate your review and for your staying with us . We are not in the "middle of the action" but about 4 1/2 miles from downtown. Our setting is serene and popular to those who wish to partake of the downtown but not stay there overnight. We appreciate being called a good base. Thank you and we hope you enjoyed your vacation here in Bar Harbor! All our best to you, Jane
This hotel is a couple of miles from the Acadia National Park entrance. The grounds are pristine and well cared for. The rooms are spacious and clean. The bedding is fresh and comfortable as is the bed. The room have great lighting. The breakfast has many choices and the dining area is large and comfortable. The staff work hard to keep everything stocked and clean. The location is a short drive to Bar Harbor shops and restaurants. I would definitely stay again.
What a wonderful review! Thank you so much and we sure look forward to another visit from you! Best wishes, Jane
The hotel doesn't look like much from the outside but our room was newly decorated with very nice furniture and furnishings. Very clean with a big comfy bed and a spacious bathroom with new fixtures, etc. I would stay here again! This hotel is also very close to the park
Thank you Beverly for such a nice review! We hope to see you again soon! Regards, Jane
We loved the Acadia Best Western! Our check-in was very quick and easy because the staff had our room key and information already printed out. We found our room to be very clean with quite a bit of room. This hotel is about 13 miles from Bar Harbor and we were thankful that is was. After the noise and congestion in downtown Bar Harbor, it was nice to relax at the hotel with peace and quiet. There is a heated outdoor pool and a play area for children. At night the hotel has a smores party. We would stay here again in a heart beat. There are several good restaurants not far away.
Thank you Phyllis for this lovely review. For any future guests, I'd like to say that we actually are only about 4 miles from downtown Bar Harbor. We love that you found our location to be quiet and uncongested. The S'mores are a hit this year and we are delighted that your family enjoyed them! Please come back again! Best wishes, Jane
This hotel was the least expensive one I found during a very heavy tourist season in Bar Harbor. It was perfectly located near to the downtown area and Acadia National Park. The room was clean and the breakfast was exceptional. Good value for the price.
How wonderful to hear!! we are happy you found us to be the place for you! Everyone likes a good value. Please stay with us again soon! Warm regards, Jane
The room at the Best Western Acadia Park Inn was a great price alternative to the pricier hotels in the Bar Harbor area. If you don't mind staying a short driving distance away from the downtown area, this is for you. When we arrived, the front desk staff were friendly. They gave our children each a moose stuffed animal and a book. The room was clean and beds were comfortable. There is a pool on location that is a great option when you have kids. We would definitely recommend this hotel and return there in the future.
We are greatly pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us and will make the Best Western Acadia Park inn your lodging choice on your next visit to Bar Harbor area. We thank you for this great review and we are happy the children enjoyed their gifts! Best wishes, Jane
The grounds are clean,staff is friendly. The room is clean! The beds are very comfortable. We have a double with 2 queens. Breakfast buffet was very plentiful with many options to choose from. It was a rainy weekend but they said the pool was 85 degrees.
We are happy to have been a part of your "Maine Adventure". Even through the rain you seemed to have enjoyed your stay. Thank you! Come again. Jane
We had a great time visiting Acadia National Park. The Best Western Acadia Park Inn is very close to the park entrance, Bar Harbor and places to eat. The staff very was friendly and helpful with all questions about the Inn and things to do in the area.
We are all pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us and we thank you for taking the time to post this review. We hope to see you again! Best wishes, Jane
This is a large motel located 2 miles from the national park entrance and 4 miles from downtown Bar Harbor. We had no trouble finding parking downtown but did, on the advice of hotel staff, always grab the first spot we saw. There really isn't anything in walking distance of the hotel but there are a couple of restaurants on the way into town. The breakfast selection was extensive. The room was a bit musty at first but the smell dissipated as the A/C ran. The room was clean and large. The beds were comfortable. We would stay again.
As always, a clean comfortable place to stay. Great breakfast room. Wonderful service and a good value. They have a wonderful and very easy access to Acadia National Park. We have been staying at this Best Western on and off over the last ten years.
Virginia How very nice to have you visit us again! Thank you for your loyalty. We look forward to your next visit with us and thank you for this awesome review! See you soon, Jane
We were visiting the east coast and had planned a trip to Acadia National Park. We reserved a room at Best Western and only could get one night however the staff at Best Western worked with us and others and allowed us to stay another night without having to move rooms. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable and the breakfast is outstanding.
It is always wonderful to be able to accommodate a guest who would like to stay with us longer. It is not always possible, but happy in your case it was! It is always wonderful to hear "outstanding" to describe our breakfast menu. Thank you! Our best, Jane
We stayed at the Best Western Acadia Park Inn and the only complaint was that our room was not ready at the 3:00 check-in time. Everything else was a positive. The rooms were nice, well-kept, and the continental breakfast menu had different hot items each day. The pool was outdoor and heated and it was wonderful at the end of the hot day.
Christine Thank you for this great review. We do apologize for the delay in having your room ready by 3 p.m. Some days ( with excessive check-outs) in order to clean properly, we do run over. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us! Warm regards, Jane
What a beautiful area. Acadia National Park is so spectacular!! The breakfast was good, waffles for everyone! Even though it was crowded it still flowed. Pool was a nice break after hiking and biking. Clean and quiet room.
"Clean and quiet" are two wonderful words used to describe us and we are very happy you used them in this review! Please stay with us again when in this area. Thank you! Best wishes, Jane
I was pleasantly surprised at the level of cleanliness, and service I received at the Best Western in Bar Harbor. As many folks know finding a good value is not easy during the summer months in this area ,but this location is a gem. GM Jane Koehling is out and greeting guests during the very busy FREE breakfast hours, making sure that the guests feel welcomed. Just a chip shot from Acadia National Park, and Downtown Bar Harbor, this Inn is top notch !
Thank you for such nice remarks concerning your stay with us! We appreciate your choosing us as your lodging choice when there are so many options in this area. Please come back and stay with us again soon! Warm regards, Jane
Best Western is about 15 min from Bar Harbor but is nicely located to visit the park and town. We spent a week here, it was a great motel, super value and very well kept. The rooms have been renovated and have a fridge, microwave, dinette, and good linens with comfortable beds. The breakfast is awesome, cereal, oatmeal, waffles, eggs, pastries, they have everything and the dining room is nice, but can get busy at 8am so go early or wait until after 8:30. The owners were super nice, they gave our kids a stuffed moose each and a book about Maine, and gave us a coffee mug. There is smores every night 630 to 730pm at the firepit, there is a heated pool, laundry facility, a renovated playground for kids, and it is close to mini golf, the brewery, the winery and several restaurants. Highly recommended for families.
What a super heading!!! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us and thank you for spending a week ! We are happy to hear that the children enjoyed their gifts, the playground and the S'mores! We sure do appreciate your recommendation,too! Please come back and see us again soon! Regards, Jane
I wasn't sure what to expect but room turned out great and staff was very professional but also very friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and spacious and updated recently. Free breakfast every morning was very good. Place was quiet and close to main entrance to Acadia National Park and not too far from Bar Harbor shops. We enjoyed our stay there although beds were too hard for us. We should have spoke up since we found out afterwards they have double pillow top beds which would have been more suitable for us. Regardless the stay was great and we would stay there again if we are in the area.
Thank you very much for this nice review! We are looking forward to that return visit! Our best to you, Jane
This hotel was a great place to stay for our annual get-away. In a quiet spot, there was no need to worry about heavy traffic noises interrupting the quiet. The Continental breakfast is good for those who are breakfast "eaters" with a good selection of "eats" Since we are 2nd shifters, it was a bit difficult for us to get up that early. [but, none of us are big breakfast eaters anyway] however the times we did make it over, there was plenty to choose from, and the staff was very friendly. This is a great location that is really close to Acadia National Park which was our vacation destination this year, Would definitely recommend this spot to others, and we are planning on a return trip in the future.
We are very grateful that you chose to stay with us this year on your annual vacation! Thank you for this wonderful comments and we look forward to your next visit. Regards, Jane
Great roadside inn. Clean, well maintained, friendly staff, free breakfast. As a family, it was great to have the car right outside the door. Beds were very comfortable. Rooms well sound insulated. Very comfortable night for a family of five. Highly recommended.
We are pleased that you found us to be very comfortable for your family and appreciate all of the compliments! Please stay again! Best wishes, Jane
Our two day stay was very comfortable. Clean! Perks include heated outdoor pool and fresh cookies in the afternoon. Evenings 6:30-7:30 there is seating around an open pit fire and you can make s'mores (and meet some other travelers). Close to town and Acadia Nat'l Park. Great for families and seniors alike.
Our nightly S'mores is an added feature and so happy that our guests are enjoying that this year. Our cookies have always been a hit and we plan to keep them " after 3 until gone." We are pleased that you were happy with your stay. Looking forward to seeing you again. (The fall is beautiful)...Thank you !Jane
Clean, great location, very friendly staff that go above and beyond expectations. There are a lot of amenities such as wi-fi, playground, pool, fantastic breakfast and Smore's nights for the kids. Highly recommend this hotel.
What a lovely review! Thank you for it and for staying with us! Your recommendation is very much appreciated. Regards, Jane
I stayed here for 4 nights. Well located near Acadia national park and Bar Harbor. Spacious rooms, free breakfast with a good variety of items. The room had a map of the area on the bed. Plenty of outlets for charging devices, clean, good shower, comfortable bed. Everything was very clean. I highly recommend this motel.
Thank you for staying with us for four nights! We delighted that you chose us as your lodging choice and for your recommendation. We hope you return soon! regards, Jane
I have stayed in a few Best Westerns and this one is by far the best. From a distance, it gives off an appearance of a very basic place, but once you come closer you realize how clean and inviting the place is. Rooms are much more comfortable than the outside of the building suggests, bathrooms are new and everything else is spotless. Pool is heated and clean and most importantly not over chlorinated like most hotel pools are. Fresh coffee and cookies at the front desk all the time, staff is as friendly as you can imagine. Picnic area around the back with chairs and tables, good place to wind down before going to bed. If I'm ever in Bar Harbor again, I'm coming straight back here, not even going to look for another place.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review! We sure do appreciate knowing how well you enjoyed your stay and that you will be coming back! Best wishes, Jane
This is by far the nicest, friendliest, cleanest BEST WESTERN ever! The continental breakfast is fantastic. The rooms are very comfortable and very clean, with nice comfortable beds. The stay is Close to town, shops and Restaurants, and the beautiful Acadia Park. Very kid friendly. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
We cannot thank you enough for such an awesome review!! Thank you so much! We look forward to your return! Jane
This hotel is a very nice hotel for a good price. It is located about 10-15 minutes drive by car, from bar harbor. Acadia Park within 10 minutes. Rooms are clean and also the pool is very clean. Breakfast is a you can expect from best western. It is not the best you will ever have , but it is enough and fresh. The beds were perfect and the people at the reception were very helpfull to answer our questions.
Thank you for your review and we hope to see you again soon! Best wishes, Jane
Excellent location- easy to access the National Park and Bar Harbor. The rooms were recently upgraded, firm beds, clean bathrooms, and excellent service. There is a washer/dryer available (great when traveling with kids) and a pool. Our reservations included breakfast which was prepared by a lovely woman. Overall, great price, location and service.
We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us! We are always updating our rooms so some may be further advanced than others in that area. All are very clean and we try to anticipate our guests needs with amenities.. We do hope that you will come back and stay again. We appreciate the compliments! Jane
Best Western Acadia Park Inn is conveniently located a short distance from downtown Bar Harbor and the local bus stops at this site so you can catch a ride into town without having to find parking. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The property is very clean and the owners are putting alot of money into renovating the rooms and the grounds. The breakfast was amazing! Fresh, home-cooked food with a great selection. And warm cookies are at the office every evening. There is a brand new playground and grilling area. The outdoor pool and deck area was also very nice. We would definitely stay again if we ever visit Maine again.
Robin We all thank you for such a glowing review of our property. We are happy that you enjoyed your stay and used the free Island Explorer bus service, too! The owners do renovations every off-season and we do listen to guests comments, hence the brand new breakfast house! Thanks so much ! Please come back again ! Regards, Jane
Will definitely stay at this Best Western when returning to Bar Harbor! Room was extremely clean, breakfast was way beyond what I ever expected, many choices to choose from in a dining room that was as big as a restaurant!
This hotel has a great location to intown Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park ! The room was spacious enough for 2 ( had a King bed room ) , very clean. The free continental breakfast is a nice added bonus. We had a room on back side away from main road, it was VERY quiet there.
I work in the Hospitality business so new what I would be looking for when I checked in. The Front Desk Staff were friendly and efficient, the breakfast room Staff were exceptional...there was never an empty food item, the Housekeeper kept my room spotless and the Management was beyond professional and always there to assist with any issues. I would definitely stay there again. This is what you are looking for when you go on vacation with your family. There is even s'mores by the playground at night and fresh hot cookies all day long in the Lobby. Breakfast has a great variety.
This place really surprised me and my wife. Everything in the Bar Harbor area is so overpriced but I actually felt I got my $$ worth here. Sure its not downtown BH, or right around the corner, but it is close enough for sure, and very close to Acadia National Park entrance. The rooms were nice and large, old school motel style, park right in front of your own room. The bathrooms have recently been renovated so it made the room feel nice and refreshed. The bed was comfortable, and the a/c worked well considering the heat and humidity that was going on when we visited. Fridge, micro, and coffee maker in the room. The breakfast was in a building right next to the lobby building, and had everything you'd want to get your day started. Oh, and if you check in during evening hours, you get some fresh cookies waiting for you, oh yeah! Just don't arrive too late, they close up (call for hours). This is right in line what you hope for when you book a 2.5 star hotel, best we've stayed at in this category in a long long time.
We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us! We do have a late arrival box for those that arrive after the office closes and also someone on 24/7 . Thank you for writing such a nice review and please come again! Best wishes, Jane
We really enjoyed our stay at Acadia Best Western. This hotel is an older building but has been nicely updated. The rooms seemed clean and the beds were comfortable. We did not hear any noise from other guest.
Thank you very much! we appreciate your staying with us and happy you enjoyed yourselves! Jane
Pleasantly surprised at this Best Western...great location near Acadia National Park & Bar Harbor; extremely clean; personable, professional and friendly staff in all areas; fine breakfast included in price; nice pool, very comfortable room! The outside of the hotel is fairly standard for the area, but room was nicely appointed, comfortable and immaculate. Will stay again!
It is very nice to read that you will stay with us again! Thank you for that major compliment and for such a lovely review! best wishes to you, Jane
This is a good place to stay on Desert Island. The rooms and the grounds are kept very clean, rooms are big (we had plenty of space for a family of 4), the price is much better comparing with staying in Bar Harbor proper, and it has a great location less than 5 minutes from the Acadia National Park visitor center. We found it a great base of operations for exploring the island and the various sections of the national park, including Schoonic on the mainland, which was 50 minutes away. Also Bar Harbor is only 10 minutes away by car and we never had any problems with parking the car in the streets for free. You can also take the free Island Explorer bus to/from Bar Harbor and the national park. We didn't realize this but this hotel is not a high-rise. It's a motel, really. We did not find that a problem (you can park your car right in front of your room), but to us the pictures of the hotel did not make that clear. The free breakfast options are great: the waffle makers were a great hit with our children. While we were there the place was very busy and the breakfast room, which is in a separate building, was very busy but eventually we found a place to sit. All in all a great place to stay on the island itself. I can recommend this place.
We are delighted with your review! Thank you so much for it and for staying with us. We are 2 1/2 miles to the visitor's center and Hull's Cove entrance to the Acadia National Park. It sounds as though you had a great vacation here in Bar Harbor. We hope you will stay with us again soon! Best wishes, Jane
Highly recommend! Stayed for 4 nights. Extremely clean, the beds were fabulous, and the breakfast from 6:30-10:00 is excellent! The staff is helpful and professional. You can tell from the top down, excellence is expected. They even offered a cooking of smores at their fire pit for children one evening. Nice frill. Our room came with a safe, microwave, and refrigerator. Only minutes from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.
Thank you very much for your loyalty to the Acadia Park Inn! We are delighted that you found the new mattresses to be so comfy and the S'mores each evening to be a nice frill. We have also added a Bocce court! We thank you for staying with us for four nights and for this awesome review. We agree, Go Sox! Best wishes, Jane
Room was very clean and in great condition. The breakfast was one of the best hotel breakfasts that I have had recently. I liked that it was in a separate building and had plenty of seating. Pool was clean and there was a playground and an area with a fire pit if you wanted to spend time at the hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful by providing literature about Bar Harbor and things to do. The only down side was there was not a fitness center but we walked outside and I guess when you are close to Acadia National Park they do not think a fitness center is necessary.
Thank you for this great review. We do not have many requests for a fitness center, I guess due to the park being so handy with hiking and biking trails etc. We apologize for not having that for you. We are very pleased that you discovered our new playground and evening S'Mores fire pit. Our housekeeping staff relishes in your comments on the room condition and cleanliness. We hope to see you again soon! Regards, Jane
We've chosen to stay here due to the price since this is Bar Harbor the room rates are pretty steep. I was very impressed with the room size and spotless bathroom I mean for the price you can't go wrong. Check-in was a breeze they also have the schedule for the shuttle bus that takes you around the park for free which conveniently stops right outside the hotel. Breakfast selection was good and service was excellent. Also happy with the wifi strength. I'd definitely come back and stay with them again!
How nice to hear that you have plans to return and stay with us again! We delight in happy guests! Thank you very much for staying and for this lovely review. Best wishes to you, Jane
I'm often hesitant to stay in best westerns, unless I'm out west. This one is beautiful, exactly as they are out west. Spacious rooms. Microwave, fridge, nice large tv. Pristine. Honestly the cleanliness of the hotel is outstanding, coming from a bit of a germaphobe that's saying something. New bathrooms as of July 2016, huge tubs. Excellent toiletries. Staff was so kind, knowledgable of the area, absolutely perfect. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. It was such a great stay, I'd love to live there. Will gladly work to stay, lol!
Be careful of what you say; you may get hired! ha ha Thank you!!! We are very pleased that you found us to be the kind of Best Western that you were expecting. To be called a"outstanding" from a self-proclaimed bit of a germaphobe is, well, an incredibly awesome compliment!!! We look forward to seeing you again! Regards, Jane
While the rooms are clean and satisfactory, the location is fantastic for any visit to Acadia and Bar Harbor! Most of the staff was quite friendly. Breakfast was awesome once again!!! Roughly a 5 minute drive to park entrance and under 10 minutes to reach the town of Bar Harbor. Stayed at the same hotel last year...this year I feel our room was cleaner and in better condition. My kids loved the free cookies and tea during the day.
We are happy to have you return to visit us once again and to have found us better than before. I do wish that ALL the staff was friendly and I apologize for any that was not. It is just great to have compliments on our breakfast,too. We look forward to your next visit! best wishes, Jane
I stayed here for 2 nights on a trip to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Not to far from the Acadia Park visitor center but a little far from Bar Harbor (about a 15min drive). Room was clean with parking right outside your door. Lots of variety to choose from with the free breakfast(including 3 waffle makers and different choices of toppings available) and plenty of seating in the breakfast area. The lady at the front desk was very helpful in highlighting different points of interest in the area on a map. I'd probably get a hotel closer to Bar Harbor(some of them have shuttles to downtown) if I visited the area in the future. Parking in downtown Bar Harbor is very difficult and it's a bit of drive to the Best Western. Overall a good value for the area.
Okay location. About a 13 minute drive to bar harbor or anywhere else. Nothing special about the room or pool. Breakfast was bland and tasteless. Staff was extremely nice and helpful at the front desk. Pretty decent but nothing to write home about.
Impressed with the cleanliness, staff and breakfast! Enjoyed a 2-night stay and was very impressed with everything. Great beds too! Joel at the front desk was extremely helpful in giving insights into biking the park and others with places to eat in Bar Harbor. Had a blast! Such a gorgeous area of our country! Loved Bar Harbor Maine!
We had a great stay at Best Western Acadia Park Inn. The hotel is convenient to Acadia National Park and the village of Bar Harbor (which is extremely cool!!!!). We traveled with our 12 year old son so the pool was a priority-lovely heated temp and very well maintained pool and patio area-both hotel and pool in sunny location unlike some of the cabin-style accommodations in the area. Free Island Explorer shuttle is great and picks you up right at the front of the hotel. Staff is wonderful-very friendly and knowledgeable, housekeeping does an excellent job. Hotel is quiet and family-oriented, met many others traveling and enjoying Acadia. Rooms simple but clean and in great shape-our bathroom must have been recently remodeled and was super-very clean and nice one-piece tub/shower with lots of shelves. FUN FUN FUN-we have already recommended it to a friend and would definitely stay here again!
Thank you ! we sure do appreciate your staying with us and then posting such a lovely review! Come back!!! Jane
Liked that the hotel had 2 washers and 2 dryers! All the rooms were very easy to get your bags in and out of! You could park right by your door and unload. The pool was clean and at a nice temp. We would stay at this hotel all over again before going anywhere else! Very happy with our stay!
What a wonderful review! Thank you so much! We would love to have you stay with us again. (The fall foliage is awesome...hint ..hint).Best Wishes! Jane
Very large, clean, comfortable rooms with small refrigerator and microwave, nice swimming pool, great breakfeast (more than just continental as advertised). Staff all very friendly and courteous. Front desk very helpful with recommendations and helping to navigate the area. Hotel is not in the downtown area and you have to drive or take the free island shuttle, there is a stop right out front, to Acadia National Park or the downtown area. Definitely would recommend to anyone visiting the area. Rooms are motel style, single floor, drive up rooms. Pay self-service Washer & Dryer available. Downtown Bar Harbor very crowded, mostly restaurants, bars, and tourist shops. Lots of good seafood restaurants with nice water views outside of the downtown area. Acadaia National Park is magnificent. Lots of little parking spots to explore different areas. The 4:30 summer sunrise happening at the top of Cadillac Mountain draws a big crown and parking can be tight. We did one of the horse drawn carriage rides in the park, to be honest a bit boring, on gravel roads under the canopy the whole time, not much views, no wildlife.
We so appreciate your lovely review of our property and staff! Your recommendation to others is greatly appreciated! Come again soon! Jane
I absolutely loved my stay over here. Rooms were super clean, the location was perfect, and the place was priced right. The breakfast was incredible. They had eggs, different kinds of meat every day, waffles, a host of breads and cereal. The breakfast area was quite spacious and looked like it was recently furnished. The staff was great as well. In addition to being extremely gracious, I saw them helping other guests out at several points during my stay. As an example, I witnessed a couple that walked in looking for a room on a sold out night. Rather than this being the end of the story, the front desk volunteered to find them a room at another hotel. Not only did the front desk call a competitor hotel to look for a room, they also helped the couple make the reservation (and then provided directions so they could get there). Now that's first class service. I was there on vacation, and found the place to be very family-friendly. I would absolutely stay here again.
WOW! Thank you! Sometimes people don't see what goes on behind the desk and I am so pleased that you witnessed what happens when we are sold out! Our Best Western staff really are "people who care". We will always try to help someone in need. I am also very happy that you loved your stay and we all hope you stay again soon! Regards, Jane
We were extremely satisfied with our stay at the Best Western in Bar Harbor. The comfort level of the bed was superb. They provide a breakfast with a great variety of breakfasts items to choose from and each morning they change the items they offer for breakfast. It is also very convenient to Acadia NP and a shuttle bus runs from their driveway to the NP's visitor's center.
It is always great to hear that a guest was "extremely satisfied" with their stay here with us at the Acadia Park Inn! Thank you very much for taking the time to post this awesome review! Best wishes, Jane
I recently stayed at the Best Western Acadia Park Inn along with my husband and two boys (12 and 15). What a nice place to stay while visiting Acadia NP. The motel is nestled in a wooded lot and is nicely landscaped. The rooms are clean and well appointed with a microwave, fridge, ironing board and iron (not that I ironed anything!!) Beds and pillows were very comfortable. The daily breakfast included with the room had many choices including hot items (eggs, sausage, home fries, etc,), prepared oatmeal with a variety of toppings, Belgian waffles, cereals and a variety of breads, bagels and pastries. The pool is clean but on the small side. If you are looking for a resort to hang out at all day, this is probably not the right place for you. However, if you are looking for a clean, comfortable place to sleep with a hearty breakfast included while visiting beautiful Aacadia, this is a great choice! I would definitely go back and would recommend it to friends and family.
Thank you for such a wonderful review of your visit with us! We certainly look forward to seeing you all again. Best wishes, Jane
We had a recently held our family reunion on Mount Desert Island and stayed at the Best Western Acadia Park Inn. We worked with Janet Koehling (GM) to make the arrangements for 40 of us. Working with Jane, we were able to secure rooms for everyone at a reasonable rate and made use of the breakfast room to hold our nightly meals and gatherings. I and everyone in my family were extremely pleased. The motel rooms were a good size (we were in the 500's unit) and very clean. The rooms include breakfast for 2 with an additional charge for extra persons. The breakfast was plentiful and similar to what you might find at a Hampton Inn. The breakfast area for our nightly gatherings was a wonderful room, large enough for our family and very comfortable. The Jane, Teenia, and the rest of staff were great. They went out of their way to welcome us and ensure we had everything we needed. The hotel is also in a great location with easy access to all the different activities MDI has to offer. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
Thank you so much for choosing to have your reunion here with us! It was a pleasure meeting as many as we were able to. A very nice family indeed! Thank you also for your recommendation to others. We hope you are able to come back and stay again! Best wishes, Jane
Nice hotel near Bar Harbor but far enough from crowded downtown Completely updated, very clean Full complimentary breakfast bar, cookies every afternoon On shuttle route so don't need 2 drive in & worry about parking in town (Be sure 2 make shuttle drivers stop on return trip as not official stop.) Nice restaurants nearby, recommend Chart Room & Log Cabin
Thank you so much for this awesome review! Just so that other potential guests won't be confused, some rooms have been renovated more than others but still a work in progress continuing this winter. We are very happy that you took advantage of the restaurants near to us and also the free Island Explorer shuttle! Thank you, again. Best wishes, Jane
This hotel is very nice. Very well organized and friendly. Had a cup of hot tea and a cookie every time we returned after a day of adventure. What a hotel should be! Location was perfect to go to Acadia National Park (about 5 minutes to entrance).
We are so happy that you enjoyed your vacation and found us to "fit the bill" for a great place to stay. We look forward to your next adventure! Warm regards, Jane
Staff friendly with good advice through the our stay. Breakfast good BW meal, very organized with lots of room. Room good, clean, great wifi, TV good service, easy access to highway, close to town and parks. Lots of restaurants nearby, ask for advice. This is a comfortable friendly BW, wonderful for a few days.
Thank you for this great review! The staff and I are very happy that you enjoyed your stay with us. We always have tested suggestions for our guests with places to eat or visit! We hope to see you again! Thank you, Jane
This was our first time in Bar Harbor and we would definitely stay here again! It has an amazing breakfast with a lot of variety, great location, and wonderful customer service! The grills and picnic area were an additional bonus!
It is just wonderful to hear that you took advantage of our picnic tables and grills! Our new playground is open as well as Bocce' court. We are getting ready for S'mores in the evenings. Please come again. Thank you, Jane
Excellent location, wonderful amenities. Great Breakfast! The grounds provided an environment to see small outdoor life and many birds. We enjoyed the pool and would easily pick this hotel upon returning to Bar Harbor.
It is "music to our ears" to know that you enjoyed your stay with us and will return again! Thank you so much! Best wishes, Jane
The BW Acadia is located a few miles out of town which turns out to be a plus,,,and you can still easily access the Nat'l Park,Bar Harbour downtown, the other side of the island [quiet side, bays, lobster pounds, and less tourist], or venture downtown to Bar Harbour. Staff was mature, smiling, and helpful! Price I thought was a little high for no frills BW- but then again it's tourist season and probably similar for area and time of year.
This was our third time in Bar Harbor and we were so thrilled to find this hotel. The price is much less than the ones closer to town but it's only a 5 minute ride by car and definitely worth it. We were greeted by Joel, the friendliest man you'll ever meet. The first thing he told us was to help ourselves to the never ending supply of cookies and hot beverages! He even went so far as to pour my husband a cup of coffee while he was sitting in the lobby using the computer! He really made us feel like we were company visiting his house! Jane and Mary were also so helpful and friendly. The rooms were very clean, spacious and comfortable. The free breakfast had much more than most hotels offer. Make your own waffles, eggs, sausages, cereals, oatmeal, fresh fruits, yogurts, muffins, bagels, hard boiled eggs, etc. Really surprising for a small hotel. Heated pool and playground for children. You won't be disappointed with this hotel. It's not a fancy hotel but I'd still rate it 5 stars!!!!!!!! We really felt so welcome and comfortable here!
This is the place to stay in Bar Harbor if you want reasonable rates and a clean place to stay. We stayed for 3 nights and were extremely satisfied. The hotel is much less expensive than other hotels in town. It's a 5 mile drive from the main part of town but well worth the 5 minutes it takes to get there. The staff is the friendliest you will ever encounter. They all go out of their way to make sure you're happy and have everything you need. The rooms are extremely clean and comfortable. Free breakfast was excellent and included make your own waffles, sausages, fruit, eggs, muffins, oatmeal, cereals, potatoes, hash, hard boiled eggs and much more. Outdoor pool was heated and very clean. Free cookies and hot beverages greet you in the lobby! Really a great place to stay. Make sure to see Joel behind the desk. The friendliest person you'll ever meet. My husband was using the computer in the lobby and Joel came over and poured him a cup of coffee! Jane the manager and Mary also aimed to please. Can't say enough about this place. Don't waste your money on the pricier fancy hotels in town. This place is great!
This hotel is perfectly located just minutes away from Acadia park and close enough to Bar Harbor to enjoy the shops and restaurants and still have a quiet place to rest when your ready to relax. The room was immaculate; smells very fresh and beds are super comfy! Hot breakfast has a good selection and service is pleasing. Cute little park for the kids to play after being on the road was a plus! The pool was awesome! Joel, thank you for booking our stay and being so welcoming when we arrived. Your instructions and recommendations around town were most enjoyable and made our stay a complete. Thank you for your outstanding hospitality and thank you Best Western for providing a more than well kept facility.
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. I will be sure to let Joel know how much of an impact he made on your experience! I am so happy that your children enjoyed the new playground,too. We look forward to your return! Regards, Jane
Great place to stay, nice property, great staff. nice rooms. we enjoyed the heated pool and the professional staff. our room we clean, spacious, and nicely laid out. we had a great stay and the staff was always willing to help.
We sure do appreciate these great compliments! Thank you for staying with us and we hope to see you again soon! Best wishes, Jane
The cleanest, most spacious and accommodating Best Western I've ever stayed. No problems and I would definitely return. The beds were very comfortable, the showers and sink area were clean. The breakfast was more than continental and very good.
What a wonderful compliment!! Thank you so much! It is just awesome to know you will return. We look forward to that! Best wishes, Jane
Fantastic place to stay during our vacation! Grounds were spotless, staff was helpful and friendly, and loved the breakfast!!! Located right on route 3 before getting to Bar Harbor allowed some peace and quiet, yet still close to the park and downtown Bar Harbor. Overall a fantastic value!!
We are so happy that you found us to be a fantastic value and that you enjoyed your stay with us so much! We look forward to your next stay! Thank you, Jane
The Best Western Hotel in Bar Harbor is a nice stay that will exceed your expectations. Bar Harbor can be expensive but the Best Western gives you all you need to enjoy the area and a comfortable bed to sleep in with a good breakfast. All employees I encountered were friendly and helpful.
WOW! We love to hear that we exceeded your expectations! Thank you so much for this wonderful review! we look forward to another visit from you. Best wishes, Jane
The staff were over the top. Loved our stay there. Best place of our vacation. Quiet, clean, location was good. The ladies in the office were so sweet and the ladies in the dinning area were so gracious
We are delighted that you loved your stay with us! We hope to see you again soon!! Thank you very much. Best wishes, Jane
Recently remodeled or built? Everything was brand new. We Stayed at the King suite. Parking right outside of room made it very convenient. Signed up for rewards, got a great deal. Breakfast room was very clean. If all rooms are like the king suite I would recommend
We are so happy that you enjoyed our king suite. That room is one of two that was recently remodeled to the max! We aspire to bring our remaining rooms up to that standard (so as to not mislead other potential guests). We are always working on updating and happy to know we succeeded with the suite! All of our rooms have the flat screen TV, microwave , coffee pot and fridge, etc. Thank you so much and we look forward to your next visit!
This hotel was close enough to downtown Bar Harbor for an easy drive to and from activities. The staff were very pleasant and helpful with directions and tips. Breakfast was provided in a very nice room. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Internet was provided.
Thank you for staying with us! We are pleased to hear that we fulfilled your expectations! Come on back soon !! Regards, Jane
Very clean hotel. Great free breakfast. Hotel was overpriced, but you are paying for the location. Comfortable beds. Friendly staff. A crib is 10$ a night which no one told me upon booking. I don't appreciate hidden fees. This is an average hotel, but we had a comfortable restful night. Microwave and mini fridge in room which is a plus.
We planned a night stay at Acadia National Park/Bar Harbor and found that the Best Western had rooms available, and offered AAA discount. The lobby of the hotel is very inviting and beautifully decorated. The front desk staff at check-in were very friendly. We booked two separate rooms with king beds. Our room was newly renovated, and my daughter's room was nice but didn't look like it was as updated as ours yet. Bed was very comfortable which is always a plus! The bathroom area was wonderful...I liked the sink being separated area from the toilet and shower. This hotel offers continental breakfast...this is more than the typical continental breakfast. The breakfast seating area was very nice, and the food selection was great! The two staff members working the morning of our stay kept the area very clean, and will stocked with food. The front desk staff during our check-out were very friendly, and made it easy to check-out. Will come back again, and hopefully try out the pool and sit at the tables near the pool (which looked like a nice area to relax).
This motel is old fashioned but it was a great place to stay at a good rate. The rooms are actually quite large. The cable has a lot of channels (including TVMonde - it was nice to have French tv for my vacation!). The pool is nice and decent temperature. The breakfast was good - they had scrambled eggs and meat, and then a variety of pastries, muffins, etc. The front desk staff during the morning/day were very friendly and offered great advice. The explorer bus that goes around the island actually will stop in front of the hotel. Definitely would stay here again!
We had a wonderful 4 night stay in this hotel. The breakfast is pretty standard but we appreciated the variety. Each morning there was something new to try. Room was clean and staff was really friendly.
Thank you very much for your review! We are pleased that you were pleasantly surprised! Our best, Jane
Because I travel frequently for business, I often stay at very fancy hotels. I stay at many other hotels because I travel often for pleasure too. Best Western Acadia Park puts many very many fancy hotels to shame. The staff is terrific (they gave me many good location suggestions), the room is spacious and maintained very well, and the continental breakfast is actually a lot more than just continental. It included eggs, meat, waffles, and lots of other stuff too. The free coffee and cookies is a nice addition too. Oh yes, the rates are very reasonable too! Best Western Acadia Park is located very close to the Hulls Cove entrance to Acadia, and conveniently on ME 3 which leads right into Bar Harbor and many other good locations.
WOW! What a nice review! Thank you so much and we hope you are able to stay with us again soon! Regards, Jane
First of all, was extremely happy that I was able to get a room a days before the 4th of July weekend, I had stayed at the Acadia location before and was just as happy with the service this time too. Lots had improved, such as the breakfast hall, with lot more food, Make your own waffles!!!! the lobby offered many different refreshments too. I definitely will stay here again next time too, so close to all the area attractions.
Jennifer We all thank you very much for staying with us and for these awesome compliments! We are very happy that you came back and also found many improvements! We look forward to your next visit! Best wishes, Jane
We stayed here for 3 nights while we visited the Bar Harbor area and Acadia National Park. Very clean and comfortable accommodations. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. Only 5 min drive from the park entrance and about a 10 min drive to Bar Harbor. The continental breakfast was great. A separate building just for breakfast. They had pastries, yogurt, boiled eggs, cereal, coffee, juice, biscuits and gravy, eggs, self make waffles, bagels, toast, oatmeal, etc...very good selection. The staff was friendly and courteous. They even called us to make sure we were on our way. There was a heated pool but we never used it. The hotel looked a bit deceiving when we pulled up because its an older property and we were not sure what to expect when we got to our room but we were pleasantly surprised. It was very clean and spacious. It had a coffee maker, coffee, microwave and a refrigerator. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here again if ever back in the area.
We sure do appreciate your recommending our hotel to others. We strive to provide our guests with a pleasantly memorable stay. Thank you very much for this review and for choosing to stay with us when there are so many lodging choices in this area. Our best, Jane
We stayed 7 nights and were very pleased with the location and the room. Swam in the pool several times. Very nice after hiking in the park. Very good continental breakfast. Clean room. Good AC and good Wi-fi.
We appreciate your spending 7 nights with us! It is really nice to know that you enjoyed each and every one of them! Thank you for this great review and for the compliments! Our best, Jane
So glad we found this wonderful Best Western. It's in the old style of "motels", single stories sprawling around a large property and could stand some exterior updates. But the rooms are spacious, clean, and the free breakfast is the best we've had in a long time! This is about a 8 minute drive from the Visitor's Center at Acadia and the perfect home base for a trip there. Nice looking pool and the staff was exceptionally friendly. Free tea, coffee, and cocoa in the evenings. We would definitely stay here again!
We are also glad that you found us! We thank you for your recommendation and look forward to another visit from you! Best wishes, Jane
The room has a disaster smell, I don't recommend. I wanted to run a way. The staff is great and very helpful. The beds are comfortable for us and for the children but the room is very sad and stiffing. The bathroom is not so bad but I need shoes to go inside
I apologize for the smell (??) and will definitely be checking into that. We pride ourselves on our room's cleanliness and believe our history speaks for us. Thank you for your review. Best wishes to you all, Jane
We stayed at this Best Western (BW) for 3 nites while visiting the sites in Bar Harbor. This property is the best BW we have stayed in throughout our travels. The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. They accommodated early check-in without issue, and offered coffee/tea all day with cookies in the afternoon. Upon request, the staff will make fresh popcorn in the evening. This BW has a separate, spacious breakfast room. The breakfast offered a range of options - cereals, oatmeal, eggs, sausage, etc. The staff also brought around warm scones or freshly baked goods. The property is an easy drive into town ... ~ 10 mins from the center of town and 5 minutes from the entrance of Acadia Park. The Best Western Acadia Park Inn offers the full package - good locations, wonderful property, and welcoming staff!
What a wonderful review of our property and your stay with us! Thank you so much for pointing out many of our attributes. We genuinely do want to live up to Best Western's motto "stay with people who care" and we certainly do care. We are delighted to know that you spent three nights here and we look forward to seeing you again! Best wishes to you, Jane
Great place to stay! Very welcoming & helpful staff. Free Breakfast has something for everyone: eggs, waffle station, fruit, variety of breads/muffins, yogurt...cannot leave hungry! While the property is older, they have done a nice job updating it. Laundry facilities, pool, playground, fridge & microwave in room. It's nice & quiet.. Minus is that it's away from town...few restaurant to choose from nearby so had to go into town for dinner & parking can be tough to find at popular times. Definitely recommend this place!
Meredith Thank you so much for this nicely descriptive review and we so appreciate your recommendations! We look forward to seeing you again! Best wishes, Jane
B W Bar Harbor was up to usual B W standard. Only criticism, which can be easily corrected by altering layout, was the waffle maker being located in a corner, where only one person could get access to it and associated ingredients at a time.
We will definitely look into adding another waffle batter dispenser to make that a lot easier! Thank you for the suggestion and for choosing to stay with us when there are so many lodging choices in Bar Harbor. Regards, Jane
We found a great deal for a room with 2 queen beds and were totally happy with our 2-night stay. Location: It is right on State Hwy 3 on Mount Desert Island heading into Bar Harbor but it isn't in Bar Harbor itself – this meant there was no crazy traffic or difficulty parking! Plenty of car parking on site. Reception: The staff were friendly and helpful, and the reception lobby had some couches to relax, newspapers, a computer terminal, and free coffee/tea and cookies! There were plenty of brochures to browse with ideas for activities in Acadia NP. What a warm welcome! Facilities: Free wifi was fantastic! There was a swimming pool but we didn't use it. There are vending machines around the site selling snacks and drinks, as well as ice machines. Breakfast was included, and boy, we were impressed! There was enormous variety: hot savory food (eg. eggs, sausages, oats where you can add your own toppings), hot sweet food (eg. make-your-own waffles with your own toppings), different cereal varieties, sweet pastries, fresh fruit or fruit salad, muffins and different breads for toasting, and an assortment of drinks. It was awesome – a great way to stock up before a day of hiking in Acadia NP! Room: Really spacious with plenty of storage, a bar fridge, in-room safe, and a microwave – extremely handy and convenient for late night snacks and keeping drinks cool for our hikes. The desk and chairs were great, and there were plenty of charging points. They even had a “welcome kit” upon arrival including important maps and tourist activity suggestions. The bed was super comfortable. Bathroom: The toilet and shower were in a separate room. Plenty of towels and great amenities including a make-up remover towel! The hand basin, ironing board, more spare towels, and a hanging area for clothes were in an ante-room before the toilet and shower. This meant that someone could be using the sink or putting clothes away whilst someone else was in the shower/toilet. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at BW Acadia Inn and would have no hesitation in recommending it as a great place to stay if you are visiting Acadia NP!
Thank you for such positive comments! Although we are not in downtown, we love our location for all the same reasons you mentioned. We hope your next stay is just around the corner. Call us if there is anything we can help you with! Best wishes, Jane
So glad we stayed here instead of staying in the midst of the frenetic, overly-crowded center of Bar Harbor. Hotel is clearly CAREFULLY maintained which is always reassuring. There is no ocean view, but the hotel is surrounded by forest and because the hotel wings are all one-story, there is no bad room in the place. Breakfasts were a bit better than I've come to expect from most 'continental breakfasts' and the all staff (desk, reception, housekeeping) were friendly and willing to help by offering answers to any questions.
What a wonderful review for our property! Thank you so much. We are certainly in a serene setting 4 1/2 miles from downtown. We are also very glad you stayed with us! looking forward to seeing you again. Best wishes, Jane
I loved it here. Not too expensive. We had a continental breakfast of eggs and other choices everyday - better choices than dessert breads and muffins. I told someone we were on our honeymoon, and so we came back to find sparking cider with wine glasses and a card signed by the hotel staff. Wow, the more expensive hotel we stayed at earlier didn't even do that.
Thank you for taking the time to post this charming review! Again, let us congratulate you on your marriage! We sure do hope to see you on your anniversary. It was our pleasure to acknowledge such a memorable occasion. Best wishes to you both! Jane
This was our first trip to Acadia. Having had positive experiences with other Best Westerns, we chose this one. We were greeted by a very pleasant and helpful staff. Our accommodations exceeded our expectations! Our room was very spacious and clean. Best of all, the mattress was great!!! Since my wife had to work we were very pleased that the Wifi connectivity was excellent! Breakfast was very good and the facility was neat and clean. A big thank you to all that made our stay memorable! All in all, when we return to Acadia, we would like to stay here.
To have exceeded a guests expectations is music to our ears. We are so pleased that we succeeded in our quest! The pleasure was all ours and we look forward to your return visit with us. Thank you! Jane
Overall a really nice stay. Good room good service. Even though the room was the closest to the highway it was far enough off of the road to not hear any traffic. Staff was very pleasant and courteous. My only real issue was the breakfast eggs were very fast-food like.
Thank you so much for this great review! We hope you will venture to the area again and stay with us! Have a terrific summer! Jane
Wasn't sure what to expect when booking this hotel. Arrived late a night and front desk was extremely pleasant and helpful. Rooms seemed a little dated but the very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Very good breakfast and attendent was a very lovely woman. Very quiet and easy access to park and Bar Harbor. Would denifitely stay again.
Thank you for such a nice review of our property. We are pleased that you enjoyed our clean and comfortable accommodations and friendly staff. We look forward to that next visit from you! Best wishes, Jane
We were greeted by a very friendly desk clerk and I wish I could remember her name. She gave us two great restaurant recommendations. However, the room was not clean at all. The breakfast was ok but could have been warmer.
We apologize for having missed cleaning your room. We will check our chafing dishes in breakfast. Thank you. Regards, Jane
We are Best Western members and have stayed at several other hotels but this was the "best". The staff made us feel like family. From the front desk staff to the two very friendly and polite women working at breakfast.(great breakfast also) One stay here and you will be back.(we will)
Thank you so much for such a glowing review and recommendation! We look forward to your next stay with us. Regards, Jane
I found all aspects of this Best Western very satisfying. the property was well kept and facilities clean. The staff was very helpful. I especially enjoyed the breakfast staff. They were friendly and enjoyed visiting with the guests like they were family.
Thank you for leaving such a nice review for us! We feel as though each of our guests IS family so we are happy we all reflected that! Our best to you! Jane
this Best Western is great !!! very well maintained both the property and the buildings.The entire staff is extremely friendly and helpful..The breakfast is fine although the coffee is ok not great..If and when I go back to Bar harbor this is wher i would stay..Only 5 minutes from downtown and 3 minutes from the park.
We look forward to having you stay with us again! The coffee in breakfast is Dowe Egbert (a favored Best Western European brand),the lobby coffee is a Maine coffee ( my opersonal favorite). Thank you for this charming review. Best wishes, Jane
This location is conveniently close to Acadia and Bar Harbor. We had a King Bed with Refrigerator and Microwave. The bed was comfortable and the room size was excellent - we were able to store our bikes inside with plenty of room to move around. It was surprisingly quiet even though the room faced the road. The only complaint was the lighting, it was dim and hard to see in the main area. The bathroom and sink area was nicely lit. The check in was easy and they always have coffee available. They also had cookies around 3 pm. Breakfast was very good - I would say better than a Holiday Inn Express. Different choices daily and tasty! The staff was very friendly. The weather was nice enough that we enjoyed the outdoor pool which was clean. Also used the laundry facility which was conveniently on site. Parking was in front of the room. Highly recommend staying here!
We are delighted that you enjoyed a "great experience" while staying with us! Thank you for posting this awesome review. Your recommendation to others is very much appreciated! Regards, Jane
We really enjoyed staying here last summer. We were travelling with a 13 and 15 yr. old so the pool was nice and the breakfast each morning saved us a bunch of $. Was it gourmet? No, but certainly adequate enough for my not so picky eaters. We enjoyed Acadia, the towns, mini golf and ice cream all within a very short drive. We would stay here again. The only reason it does not get 5 stars is the internet, which is iffy to non existant in the rooms but usable in the main office. We like our internet for posting pics at night, talking to friends back home etc.
Thank you for writing this review of your 2015 stay. We have installed a fiber network to back-up the Time Warner Cable system available to the island. Our Internet should be a lot better now! We do hope you will stay with us again. Have a great 2016! Best wishes, Jane
The staff were courteous and friendly. Rooms were clean and well kept. We enjoyed the free breakfast which was more than we expected . It helped us to get a quicker start to our day. Great food choices, well stocked and clean. Also coffee, tea and hot chocolate with cookies in lobby from 3 to 9pm. There were 4 in ou party and we all agreed it was a great place to stay. Planning on going back.
It is always wonderful to have a guest recommend us as a good place to stay and to know they plan to return! We look forward to your next visit and we thank you!! Best wishes, Jane
Overall the BW was very good. AS retirees-our focus is on cleanliness, quietness and room comfort which we experienced during out stay. However we thought the off season rate was somewhat high, even with our AAA discount. Breakfast was acceptable, not exceptional, as most breakfast items were generic ,and not name brands.( There is a difference!)
Thank you for staying with us and for your review. We have several local items in our breakfast. We are happy you stayed with us! Please stay again. Regards, Jane
Vey nice rooms, good breakfast and very friendly service! We had no problems with our very late check in (around 10:30pm) Even tough, it's 10-15 min drive from the center, it is a great place to stay and we had good night sleep
We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us! Thank you for this great review! Best wishes, Jane
I stayed here for the Maine Development Foundation and had a wonderful stay. The room was very comfortable and clean, the staff super helpful and friendly and what a fabulous breakfast- the included "continental breakfast" included fruit and cheese omelettes and sausage! I will definitely stay here again! ??
It is always great to hear a guests say they will return to stay with us again. Thank you and we look forward to it! Best wishes, Jane
This was a great place for the price. Clean, not too far from town. friendly staff. walls were thin though. Breakfast staff was nice and professional and clean. highly recommend this BW. we traveled from Indiana and didn't expect much from the other reviews and was impressed.
Thank you for choosing to stay with us! Your recommendation is greatly appreciated! Regards, Jane
We booked this Motel for a 30 year anniversary get away. We did get a good price but I was for a moment taken aback when I say this place. It was not what I expected to see from a Best Western.. has the look of one of the roadside Motor Lodges of a bygone era. upon checking in, coffee, Tea and cookies were laid out in the lobby. We reserved a room with a king side bed which was very comfortable. The quilt was wrapped between to sheet making a duvet like cover which I really appreciate and wish more motels would do that. The one negatives the rooms were scented with Febreze, which I did not care for but upon mentioning it they stopped it for the duration of our stay. The front desk also so told me that on future visits just tell them in advance and they will not spray the room Breakfast comes with the room. It was a nice offering coffee, tea . several juices, cereals, muffins and breads, waffles, fruit cocktail, eggs, sausage and another hot dish such as sausage gravy and biscuits. I did not care for the quality of the yogurts or egg dishes but I was still able to select breakfast items to satisfy me. My husband needs Gluten Free and the staff was most helpful. If you ask they may even come up with a GF muffin or two. They try hard to please.
Happy Anniversary! I hope we were made aware and able to acknowledge it while you were here! I apologize for the scent sprayed in your room. That is not a normal procedure for us. We hope to have you stay again, perhaps celebrating your 31st.? Best wishes, Jane
Very Clean, great parking and great location outside of town. Comfortable beds, get cookies at check in and every afternoon at 3pm, chocolate chip, oatmeal and peanut butter. Quiet location, loved this place.
We are so happy that you "loved this place". That is our goal and we appreciate your great review! Please stay with us again soon! Best wishes, Jane
We enjoyed our stay here. The room was very spacious, as was the bathroom. The toiletries were delightful to try the different scents. The hotel is only two miles from one of the Acadia National Park entrances, and four miles from Bar Harbor. You can get pizza delivered here from town, and it was very good from A's. The breakfast was ample in supply, thank goodness, since we could find no find on Mt. Desert Island other than in Bar Harbor during the "off-season." Very helpful and welcoming staff, too!
Thank you for your review and for choosing the BEST WESTERN Acadia Park Inn for your stay, especially when there are so many lodging choices in the area. Your positive comments mean a lot to us! Regards, Jane
This is a great property in a fab location and incredibly good value for money. The staff were so kind and friendly, breakfast was so much more than I was expecting and the rooms were of a really good size.
Thank you for your positive comments. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us! We hope your next stay is just around the corner!! Reagrds, Jane
We stayed one night in early May on the way home from College visits. We were pleasantly surprised by this hotel. We knew we were getting a good deal on the cost of the room so we only expected an average hotel stay. What we got was a good hotel stay, and great service from the front staff. Upon our arrival we were greeted with cookies and hot chocolate which was perfect because the temperature had dropped and it was in the 50's. The hotel staff was great in recommending a restaurant in Bar Harbor to go to as well as directions to Cadillac Mountain. The room we had was over by the pool and was very clean and roomy. The bathroom was large, had a very large shower. Towels were plentiful and the heat worked great. Breakfast was good in the morning and even included some hot items as well as typical continental items. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying again in the future.
We appreciate your positive feedback. We do take pride in our property and attending to each guests needs. We hope you will stay with us again when in the area. Best wishes to you, Jane
Accommodation was clean, very helpful staff, breakfast was excellent, all expected services provided. Close to Park and town, but in wooded area away from noise, great landscaping. Parking next to room, no walking. This was a vacation stay.
This beautifully renovated facility is led by a terrific staff and people who care. Important staff members most definitely include the maintenance,cleaning and breakfast "managers." The rooms are well appointed and quite comfortable. The most obvious features began with the meticulous cleanliness and that set the tone! The fridge,microwave,iron,hair dryer,safe and ample space along with the coffee maker were excellent amenities.. The grounds were very well maintained and pleasant. The location was actually quite good,being a couple miles or so above the Hull's Cove entrance to Acadia and within a few miles of the dining places we visited. We stayed for three nights and we shall return!
We are very pleased that you will return to visit with us again. Thank you for the awesome remarks on friendliness and cleanliness! We love our serene location which we believe is close enough to everything. See you again soon we hope! Jane
Check in was great and the front desk clerk was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We were there to visit the Acadia park She gave a map and showed us points of interest. Also gave us map of Bar Harbor and marked streets and places to eat for us. I call that going the extra mile. The room was clean and beds and pillows were comfortable. Breakfast was a little above average and plentiful. A very nice stay
We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and found the front desk associate so helpful! They all are a wealth of local information. Thank you very much! Best wishes, Jane
Helpful staff. Nice room. Comfortable bed. Very good breakfast. Pretty grounds.. Would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone. Location to Acadia National Park and downtown Bar Harbor is great.
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay and our amenities. Your recommendation to others is awesome! best wishes, jane
Excellent clean rooms, comfortable bed and so quiet good for sleeping. Not expensive and the front looks are deceiving there is a whole bunch of rooms around back.Very close to all Nar Harbor has to offer it is only 3 miles from Acadia National Park Hull entrance.
We are pleased to hear that you liked our location and found the setting to be quiet and as we like to say, "serene" . Our award winning housekeeping staff strives to give only the best to our guests! We hope you are able to pay us a return visit soon! Thank you. Jane
An out-of-the way motel - not a "real" Best Western. I thought I'd booked a good hotel, in Bar Harbor, but found this "motel" miles outside the city/town/village. There are so many other options in and around Bar Harbor, that I would never, ever stay at this place again. Not that it was bad, just way out of town, and disappointing. The actual room was fine, and the bed extremely comfortable. However the "delicious continental breakfast" wasn't that delicious... Yes there were small cheese omlettes, but not good. Tiny sausage patties, but cheap, cheap cheap, and bad hash brown patties. Plus the coffee had a strange taste. The actual breakfast facility was quite good. There was also an ice machine not working. So, building appearance and location were not worth the money.
We appreciate your taking the time to provide us with feedback about your stay. We apologize for not meeting your expectations. We are definitely a real Best Western, however not a Plus or Premier. Best wishes, Jane
We went to Mount Desert Island last weekend. We chose Best Western Acadia Park Inn basically because of the brand. We were more than happy with our choice. Although the outside of the property is not glamorous (as are some of the other newer hotels), the rooms, location, grounds, service, staff, breakfast, are all great. We are a family of four and the room (2 queen beds) was more than adequate. Very comfortable beds with nice bedding, nice towels and toiletries. Bathroom itself is a little dated, however it was spotless and spacious enough for it's purpose. (sink-vanity is in a separate area allowing 2 people to use the "bathroom" at the same time). Fridge/Microwave/Mini-safe are all standard. We were allocated room #411 which is to the rear of the (all ground level-motel style) property. There is a brand new swing-set across the lawn from this block of rooms, so if you have kids that would enjoy that, then this room would be great. Breakfast is in a dedicated building near the lobby and central to all rooms. Breakfast served until 10 and there are lots of options. It was very busy, but we enjoyed all the breakfast choices, which vary from day-to-day. Front desk staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. Check in and out was easy. Coffee/tea and hot chocolate are available in the lobby. (and cookies too!) Apparently front desk is closed overnight (and a number is provided in case of emergencies). Not an issue for us. What was an issue (for our teenage kids) was the wifi-signal was not strong. It may have been because of the distance from our room to the lobby. If you need WIFI, you might want to enquire about a room closer to the router! The outdoor pool is small (and I imagine it gets very crowded). It opens next weekend (memorial day) for the season. The hotel is about 4 or 5 miles from Bar Harbor itself. Not within walking distance for sure, but it was nice to be away from the crowded streets/parking lots of BH. We would certainly recommend this Acadia Park Inn.
What a delight to read your review , especially first thing in the morning! We are pleased to say that our Wi-Fi has been strengthened by a new system installed on May 17th to go along with the only system available to the island. The upload and download is awesome now. Just to clarify for any potential guests reading this, there is someone on duty 24/7 with just a dial "0" away or doorbell at the front entrance. Our new playground will be completed within a week or two and we are excited to offer it!It seems your experience was overall very good and we appreciate your recommendation to others. We hope you will come back again this summer. Thank you so much! Best wishes to you all, Jane
Spent 4 nights at the Best Western Acadia Park Inn and I will most definitely stay there again in the future. The staff were welcoming, the room was clean & the bed quite comfortable! The 1st night I had difficulty with a loud, inconsiderate trio in the next room of which I had to report to the manager. Although the manager (I believe her name was Jane) extended her apologies, the most impressive part was she wasted no time in addressing the issue. The next 3 nights I could hear a pin drop :) The continental breakfast was nice as well- it offered a nice variety of foods which served well as fuel before hitting the trails in Acadia!
I am so pleased that you brought the noise issue directly to me so that I could remedy the situation immediately. Our guests have 24/7 help whenever needed. You were most kind and I am very pleased that you enjoyed the remainder of your mother/daughter vacation. Please stay with us again soon. Enjoy the summer! My best to you, Jane
Fantastic experience, hotel staff is courteous and helpful. Hotel itself is clean and fresh. Breakfast was great with many options. Check-in was smooth and suggestions were offered for what to do at Acadia. Check out was extra special since I wanted to add a night but they were booked, Mary helped us find a place near and got them to honor the rate we had at Best Western. A fantastic experience overall.
What a great review and we all thank you for your writing it. I am very happy to hear that Mary was able to gain further accommodations for you and at the same rate. Thank you for wanting to extend! We hope to welcome you back to stay with us again soon! Regards, Jane
One of the Best Check-ins that I have experienced. All the paperwork was ready and received a thank you letter from the Manager. The room was clean and inviting and everything worked as expected. We had a king size bed that was very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious each morning with plenty of room in the kitchen area and dining area. Check out was as easy as the check-in. I had shipped a package to me in advance of the stay and it was waiting for me and one of the clerks even brought it out to the car for me. Only a couple of miles to the downtown Bar Harbor area or about a dozen miles back to the mainland city of Ellsworth. Overall a great place to spend the night or a week.
Thank you for the your positive comments. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us! One of our goals is to make check-in and check-out easy for our guests. It is just great to know we succeeded! We hope your next stay is right around the corner! Best wishes, Jane
I often travel with an elderly relative. This is the second time we have stayed at this hotel. The value is good, the location handy to the entrance to Acadia, good breakfasts served by lovely people, and clean, comfy rooms. The decor is a bit dated but I can forgive that for the rest of the amenities the hotel offers. And, most importantly, everyone I interacted with who was connected to the hotel was really nice, helpful, and went out of their way to make sure we were well taken care of.
Thank you for staying with us again. We appreciate your loyalty and your continued trust in our hotel and our staff. Rest assured that we will do everything it takes to make us deserving of your loyalty! Regards, Jane
Great place! Clean! Breakfast well organized, close to Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor! We were torn between a big hotel in downtown but decided to stay here instead and I'm glad we did, the front desk was very informative about the local places to go Acadia national park is pretty much right around the corner. Beds were comfy and rooms were well taken care of.
We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us! When you are travelling in the area again , don't hesitate to call us. Thank you. Regards, Jane
Decided to make an off season stop at Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor ME as a side trip to see our daughter's graduation from UMaine. Let me just say that the staff really puts the Best in Best Western. They are incredible. They take pride in what they do and they are certainly professional. When we arrived I ask the reception attendant, Emilia if she could recommend a few local restaurants, Emilia immediately recommended three based on her personal experience and knowledge of the Bar Harbor area and during our stay we made sure to visit all of them and all three were excellent. The rooms were comfortable, clean and modern. The grounds were well maintained and the complimentary breakfast was better than anything you would be served in restaurant setting. I must say this again, the staff here is truly interested in you and making your stay the best it can be. We will be back
Your review is a wonderful lift for us all! Thanks so much for taking the time to post such a nice one. We are very happy you enjoyed your stay with us and found the suggested restaurants to be as predicted. We do take pride and a sort of "ownership" in our property and thrilled that it shows! Our guests are the BEST! We are forward to seeing you again! Best wishes, Jane
First off, the staff at the Best Western Acadia Park Inn is maybe the nicest, most helpful, most gracious staff I've experienced anywhere. From check in to check out, the front desk people and breakfast staff were uniformly helpful and... just nice. In a remarkable way. With that said, this is a pretty standard Best Western. It's a motel, not a hotel. Pull up to your front door. Typical shoebox room layout with the hanging bar, sink and shower at the far end of the room. Beds were fine. Not great. But fine. No pillow top. No deluxe sheets. In fact, my sheets were nearing the end of their life, pilling a bit. But again, the bed was fine. The shower head was good. Water pressure was good. WiFi worked fine. The complementary breakfast each morning had lots of options, including three fruit topping options for the waffles. Nice touch (next time, add a can of whipped cream). Round, McMuffin style scrambled egg thing if you wanted to make your own sausage sandwich. They have worked hard to make the breakfast better than average, and have succeeded. Did I mention the people were really nice? The rooms are dated but clean and well kept. The TV is a flat panel with full cable. Bottom line, the property is not where the bigger chains are in terms of the beds, sheets and pillows. But you're not checking in here to spend time in the room. It's a place to sleep after a day full of fun in the park or in Bar Harbor. And for that, it works just fine. Oh, and the people....
We are very pleased that you acknowledged the staff in such glowing terms. It is our genuine pleasure to serve our guests! We sincerely hope you will stay with us again soon. Thank you for this review. Sincerely, Jane
Even pre-season, hotel costs in this area are high. The Best Western was lower cost, comfortable, included a full breakfast, and was staffed by very friendly people. The bed was especially good, firm but not too firm. Distance to Bar Harbor was only a few miles.
We are very happy that you chose to stay with us when there are so many lodging choices here in Bar Harbor. We do love your review! Thank you! Jane
Great Experience, traveling with family for short vacation. Husband wife and adult son. Very close to the park easy access. Staff was Great. Helpful, friendly and prompt. Rooms clean. Continental breakfast was awesome.
Not one to usually stay at Motels simply because they are usually not as nice as hotels.....this motel is the exception. From the lobby ~ pool area and the rooms this was a great stay. Our room was so large and clean it was awesome! I would suggest anyone looking for a nice clean place in Acadia to choose Best Western first.
WOW! What a nice recommendation. We appreciate your business and so happy you gave us a try. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Best wishes, Jane
If you're visiting Acadia National Park, this place is perfect, within 3 miles from the entrance. The room was large, clean, the staff welcoming, bed comfortable, and the breakfast was outstanding. The staff was very accommodating and got anything we needed. We were here in the early spring so the pool was not open. I would highly recommend this location.
Thank you very much for this glowing recommendation! We hope to see you again soon! Best wishes, Jane
Wow, what a pleasant surprise! It doesn't look like much from the outside but the rooms are spacious and clean and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was great--plenty of waffles, fruit, muffins, cereal, eggs, biscuits, oatmeal, etc. They even provide cookies at night in the lobby.
Thanks so much for such a nice review of your stay with us! We do hope to see you again soon! Best wishes, Jane
Very impressed with this hotel! We were running late and the hotel called me to make sure we were still coming and to make sure that I drive safely! General Manager tracked down my son because they thought he left his money in the restaurant. The bed was wonderfully comfortable!
Thank you so much for this review! It was a pleasure to meet you and your son. We do hope you will be back to see us again soon. Best wishes, Jane
We stayed here for one night but wish we'd have had time to stay longer. Our room was very clean and spacious. We were given homemade cookies at check in and the continental breakfast was more than we expected. There were the usual donuts and pastries but there were also sausages, waffles, toast, fried potatoes, cereal etc. there was plenty of seating as well.
We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and we do hope you will stay with us again soon. We also hope it for more than one night! Regards, Jane
Located just outside of Bar Harbor on plenty of acreage. The motel has several buildings and the it's a traditional motel with the doors on the outside of the building. The check in was quick and the ladies had plenty of info if you wanted it. The room was clean and the bed was big and high with lots of pillows. Our TV wouldn't work so they came down right away and fixed quickly. Quiet place with a breakfast in the am. Free Wi-fi
Thank you for your review and for choosing the BEST WESTERN Acadia Park Inn for your stay. We look forward to having you again. Best wishes, Jane
We made a spontaneous trip to Acadia this past weekend and stayed at the Best Western. It was only 2 miles from the entrance of the park which was super convenient and only about a 5 mile drive to downtown Bar Harbor. Warm welcome and great directions about the area. Rooms were nice and big, bathroom was great, enough hot water and great water pressure. Breakfast was included which was excellent. Great value for a great weekend!
We are delighted that you took a spontaneous trip that enabled you to stay with us! Thank you for the great review ! Jane
The weather looked really great for this past weekend, and I thought I'd head up to Bar Harbor/Acadia before the tourists descend upon the beauty and wonder of my home state :) Since I intended to trailer my motorcycle up, I was looking for lodging with adequate parking, yet still close enough to the Village and Acadia. This place was great for what I needed. The staff was super friendly and accommodating - they had just recently opened for the season so I wasn't quite sure what to expect of the room - would it be musty, dusty, damp? None of the above - I had a very comfortable room that was nicely appointed and included a microwave, coffee maker, refrigerator and an in-room safe. The bathroom had a fan (a big plus with me, as I have encountered so many newer or renovated rooms with no bathroom fan!) and was spit-spot clean. They offered free wi-fi and it worked like a charm. This place does not have an ocean view, but it does have a pool, laundry facilities, vending machines and a brand new building where they serve the included continental breakfast. There are picnic tables and grills in the back and it is very well-lit at night. I didn't care that it didn't have the view, as I knew I would be out and riding around in Acadia all day - and there is where you will get the views of a lifetime...it never disappoints...what a wonder!
Thank you for your review and for choosing our hotel for your stay. We are happy that you enjoyed our amenities and we look forward to having you return! Best wishes, Jane
We stayed at the Best Western in Bar Harbor for one night. The resort is very clean; the unit was well furnished; the bed was exceptionally comfortable. Hot breakfast (eggs, sausage, etc.) was furnished as well. Would recommend this without reservation.
Thank you for the positive comments and for being our guests. We appreciate the recommendation! Please stay with us again soon. Regards, Jane
Great quality for the price. Beds are very comfortable, the staff is personable and the location is good. Cookies and coffee at check-in are a nice touch, too. The only complaint I have is that the Internet is very slow.
Your review is greatly appreciated and we are happy that you chose to stay with us. We do hope you will be able to return later this year! Our best to you, Jane
This is a very particular review, as it's related to an annex where the rooms (and the access) are different from the main building. All rooms in the main building are the classic motel type, where you park in front of your door. This separate area has around 10 rooms you can't park in front and one of its sides faces the pool (mine, of course) – Here it's even worst as there's a pool deck and you have to climb two steps with your luggage. As soon as I checked in I complained about all that but I was told those were the best rooms (king size) and the clerk also pointed me to a ramp that made easier to bring the luggage in. All that said I have to admit the room was in fact big with a full size sofa, plus a single seat couch, a big TV, fridge, microwave, a computer table and, of course, the king size bed. The bathroom is also huge. There's a real warning here though: I was there at the last week of October and it was cold, so nobody used the pool that was right in front of my door (and window). It's probably not too wise to stay in this section in July. In the end I was ready to admit I was cranky at the check-in as pushing the luggage through the ramp wasn't so bad and the room was nice. Too bad Karma kicked in and two days after leaving I found out they charged my CC for the entire stay, even though it was confirmed by the clerk it was all paid for through Expedia and that she wanted my CC just for incidentals (normal procedure). I would love to believe this was a coincidence but I think someone decided to ‘give me a lesson' – theory reinforced by the fact my complaint about the room was noted on my file and read back to me by the person I've contacted to handle my reimbursement.
Thank you for your review. I apologize for the personal inconveniences that you have described. We are please that you found the room to your liking with a queen sized sofa, lounge chair, large TV, fridge, microwave, computer table and, of course, the king size bed and the large bathroom. We do hope to se you again in 2016. Regards, Jane
We have stayed at this hotel twice now (in the autumn both times), and thoroughly enjoyed both visits. Its setting among the pines was what attracted our attention initially, so we gave it a try (in previous years we stayed in Bangor or Ellsworth). The included breakfast is unusually good for an American hotel, with many items to choose from. The dining area is pleasant, even when busy. At least one of the breakfast staff members is very helpful for visitors of the nearby national park (Acadia). The hotel office has interesting books/magazines, and extra coffee/tea/hot chocolate. The location of the hotel makes it great for being able to get to Acadia N. P. or Bar Harbor quickly, but without the hassle of Bar Harbor traffic at the hotel. Then only downsides, and they're not much, are that the rooms are somewhat dated, and the laundry "room" is outdoors.
Thank you so much for being a loyal guest of Best Western! We very much appreciate that you have stayed multiple times with us here at the Acadia Park Inn. We are indeed very close to the Acadia National Park entrance and visitors center and only four and one half miles to the downtown waterfront. Our serene setting affords our guests a relaxing atmosphere after they have explored the park and downtown with the hustle and bustle. We are always updating our rooms and this year is no exception! We look forward to having you visit with us again! Thank you. Best wishes, Jane
This hotel is way out of Bar Harbor and has no ocean views. If you want to drive 5 miles to get into town and be located amongst trees, it is probably fine. We checked out the rooms and found them a time warp. We decided not to stay and found many hotels with vacancies and ocean views for the same price much closer to town.
Our hotel is indeed out of town by 4 1/2 miles. That is a "positive" if you wish for a peaceful, serene setting after a long day in the park or on the ocean. Thank you for your review! Best wishes, Jane
Quiet location a few miles out of town away from the crowds in Bar Harbor. Met my request for a quiet room, at the back of the complex, with a great selection of maps on the bed when I checked in so I didn't have to search them out elsewhere. Breakfast was good with lots of choices and changing hot items each day, including corned beef and hash with poached eggs one morning. Friendly, helpful staff, at the front desk and in the breakfast room. Carole gave me some good suggestions for walks on the "quiet side" of the island that were very helpful for my last day of exploring. I liked the big sink in my room, with shelf underneath for toiletries. (I stayed here three nights in mid-September. Missed my chance to do the Best Western review so doing it on Trip Advisor instead.)
Thank you for your review. I am happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and we do hope you will be able to visit us again in 2016! Best wishes, Jane
The inn is not in a bad location and not too far from downtown Bar Harbor, but I was disappointed in our room. It was clean, but not well furnished for a Best Western. Our room was back (not facing the highway) and to the side of the complex and very quiet. The breakfast was adequate. The staff could not have been friendlier and helpful and took time to give us information on the area and even the times cruise ships were expected as that can make a huge difference to the crowds on the island.
Thank you for your review. I am pleased that you found your room to be clean and enjoyed the breakfast. The staff appreciates your compliments. We are always updating our rooms so hopefully you will return again and notice the newest upgrades we are undertaking for the 2016 season. best wishes, Jane
We were very satisfied and comfortable at this facility. Helpful and friendly staff: welcoming reception and their breakfast hostess, Carole T. was wonderful. Started each day with a hearty breakfast in a separate single building, nicely set up and decorated. Breakfast was beautifully displayed and varied each day. We had scrambled, boiled, cheese omelet eggs, maple syrup sausages, breakfast patties, biscuits and gravy, home fries, cold and hot cereal, fresh fruits, fruit salad, assorted pastries, bagels, and breads, yogurt, waffle, hash browns, oatmeal, coffee, assorted juices and teas. Homemade, delicious cookies after 3:00 p.m. in the lobby area. This hotel is a quiet, rustic and expansive property: single story facility, so no elevator is needed. Grounds are kept clean. Excellent location to use as a hub to visit Bar Harbor town and Acadia National Forest. *Nice touch: a night light in the bathroom is provided for our convenience and safety.
Thank you for taking the time to post this glowing review of your stay with us at the BEST WESTERN Acadia Park Inn! I cannot add a single thing to this to highlight any particular benefit of staying with us! We hope you will visit with us again in 2016. It is the year of Acadia National Park's centennial!! Best wishes, and again, thank you. Jane
Staff so friendly when we arrived. Warm cookies and coffee was in the lobby too. Room had high ceilings and ver clean . Breakfast was good and staff at breakfast was so friendly and helpful. Everything was very clean , very close to the park, loved the maps in the breakfast area with pins to put where you are from,it was interesting to see how many countries come up to the hotel.
I am so happy you took the time to write this review for us concerning your stay! It is so nice to hear that you really enjoyed the friendliness of the staff and cleanliness we are so proud of! We sure do hope to see you again in 2016! have a great winter and again, thank you! Best wishes, Jane
Well received by staff; helpful with our questions. I would stay there again. The good construction of the building, décor in the rooms, amenities, breakfast, and noise suppression were most noteworthy. Bewst of all 7 Best Western hotels in which we have stayed.
Thank you very much for this great review of your stay at the BEST WESTERN Acadia Park Inn! We are all very pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us and we hope to see you again in 2016!! We will be celebrating the Acadia National Park's Centennial all year so try to come back! regards, Jane
Stopped in at this hotel on our trip to Canada's east coast. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful checking in and out. Breakfast was very good as was the service staff. Would recommend this hotel to travelers for both single nights or extended stay.
Dear Frank Thank you so much for taking the time to write this great review for us! We sincerely hope you will pay us a return visit in 2016! best wishes, Jane
My husband and I just got back from a road trip to New England. Our main destination was to visit Acadia National Park. I chose the Best Western Acadia based on TripAdvisor reviews. I am so glad we did!!! It was so close to the park just a few miles. It was clean, staff was very courteous and friendly and the breakfast buffet was great. Carole who worked in the breakfast area was fantastic. Not only was she such a friendly person but she gave great advice on places to visit in the park. We would definasterly recommend stsayi g at this location. Close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor town. We were lucky to get here just days before everything closed for the season. If you go into Bar Harbor check out the Sides Street Cafe. Great lobster rolls and soups!
Thank you so much for this review! I am very happy you got to meet Carole and enjoyed your stay with us. May we see you again in 2016?! Best wishes, Jane
When I first booked this hotel I was disappointed because the hotels I wanted to stay at in Bar Harbor were full. That turned out to be fortunate for me. From my arrival in the late afternoon I was very impressed with the property. The two ladies working the front desk were very friendly and knowledgeable and made sure to inform me that hot cookies would be out in a few minutes. I then checked into my room in the back which was quite large and had a very comfortable bed and a large bathroom. After dropping off my items and picking up a couple of cookies I headed off for Acadia National Park. This is where I really liked where the hotel was located. You didn't have to go all the way into Bar Harbor to take the roads into the park. It is only about 5-10 minutes to reach the park entrance or downtown Bar Harbor from the hotel. This way you can avoid a lot of the traffic if you just want to go into the park. I was also very impressed with the breakfast they served. A lot of different foods were available. One of the best I have ever seen put on by a hotel. I think if you stay here you will be really pleased.
Dear Miboth I am very happy that you felt fortunate after booking with us. Sometimes it is better to be on the outskirts of the hustle and bustle! A place of serenity after a day of exploring and shopping and crowds. Our breakfast is impressive as you said and I am happy to hear that you really enjoyed it! Please come back in 2016 for another stay! Thank you Jane
Good value for local area. Outside doors to rooms. Beware of grab bars in bathrooms as not secure. Very quiet as some distance from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Seasonal restaurants some distance away.
Dear Jim H Thank you for your "good value" comments! We appreciate that. We do have "grab bars" in our ADA rooms and portable ones we are able to attach to the tubs for those that need and request them. Other bars on the standard tubs are not grab bars. We do hope you will be able to visit with us again in 2016. Best wishes, Jane
We stayed at the Acadia Park Inn several years ago and it was such a good experience we choose it again! And --- were not disappointed! We like the privacy and the ability to park right outside the door of our room. The too was clean and sparkling! The bed was very comfortable. Coffee and cookies in the lobby were an afternoon treat! The breakfast was full of variety and seemed a step above other hotel free breakfasts! I am always happy if I can make a waffle! Good protein choices including hard boiled eggs. The maple sausage the second day was delicious! We really enjoyed the breakfast room which was new since out last stay. The best part about breakfast was the wonderful woman who not only kept things going on the food side, but was a wonderful hostess for her guests! We felt that we were guests in her home! Just Great! We will return! Although we didn't use them, we did notice washers and dryers were available for guest use. A bonus for many travelers!
Dear Jan B It is always great to hear that a previous guest chose to stay with us again and even better to have such great reviews of that stay! I am delighted that you enjoyed the new breakfast house and Carole. We look forward to seeing you again and remember that 2016 is the Acadia National Park's centennial. There will be even greater things happening!! Best wishes, Jane
I took a road trip up the east cost when I came across the best western. This hotel is very clean. Staff very helpful. Great recommendations on things to do in the area. I would say overall best customer service of the whole trip.
Jessica To be referred to as the “best customer service” of your whole trip is phenomenal Thank you so much for that great compliment. We do hope you can come back and stay again! Regards, Jane
The Best Western Acadia Park Inn might look a little old-fashioned from the outside. It is all one story and nestled off the road like a motel of the past. But inside, this is a terrific place to stay. The lighting in the room was bright without being harsh. I could finally see into my suitcase! The room was fresh and clean with a comfortable, not stuffy, feel to the place. The breakfast room is amazing! You will love to eat there each morning. We did. Clean, efficient, and like a small restaurant in design. The food service is in a separate area of the building. Everyone was knowledgeable, efficient, and very friendly. Stay here when you visit Acadia National Park.
Large clean room with everything you need. Stayed three nights only had a neighbour on one night but could easily hear their voices. Otherwise very quiet comfy bed lots of choice for breakfast (inluding Carols gorgeous coffee cake one morning) Great situation for Arcadia Park a day not too far from Bar HarBournemouth for evening meal
Conveniently located off of Highway 3 on the edge of Bar Harbor and a few miles from Acadia Nat'l Park. Staff was very friendly and nice. Breakfast was free and had the typical continental fare but also had hot food (eggs, sausages, potatoes and waffles). Downtown Bar Harbor was close enough if you wanted to get out for breakfast as well as for any other meal. Rooms were relatively clean and in working order. Staff was very friendly.
It's obvious that this is a well managed hotel. Every aspect of our stay was excellent. A pleasant experience from check in to check out. Room and bathroom were immaculate. Coffee and Popcorn were available in the lobby in the evening. The complimentary breakfast was above average, but Carole, who runs the kitchen, goes above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect and every guest has exactly what they need. Carole also informed us of the cruise ships' schedules so we could plan our time in Bar Harbor to avoid the mad rush of the cruise passengers. Don't forget to "pin" your hometown on their maps in the dining room. All the staff is friendly and helpful. This was the finest Best Western we've ever visited.
Good experience, from the Front Desk staff, Breakfast Room staff Caroline's helpful hints, cookies to snack on at the end of the day and so on. Room was quiet and has all amenities you need. Mini-fridge (froze everything), microwave, wifi signal was strong. Bed a little soft for my preference. All Good! Would stay again.
Stayed here from Sept 23 to 25. Location was great for Acadia and even to get into Bar Harbor. Breakfast was typical Best Western food with a selection of cereals, oatmeal, teas, coffee, some potatoes, etc. It was nice they switched the foods up. However no gluten free options. It was a little disappointing that they are still using paper plates as well. Rooms were decent size and clean. Could hear the person in the room next to us snoring...
We enjoyed our three night stay here. Check in was uneventful, the room was standard, but had everything we needed. The fridge made it easy to store extra drinks and food. Breakfast was great with rotating hot items so we had something new each day. Be sure and meet "Carole". She made everyone feel welcome each morning and was able to offer great advice on seeing the sights. You could tell she loved the area and meeting people from all over the world! She will encourage you to stick a pin in the wall map denoting your home. Would go back just to see her!
My daughter and I stayed and had a wonderful time. The room was clean, and the staff was very helpful with directions and recommendations. I would go back again! It was nice to start the day with free breakfast, and have afternoon tea and cookies included as well.
The room we stayed in was a King with a full kitchen. Felt like home. The bed was so comfortable. The staff at the breakfast room was very hospitable and helpful with directions and information about the area.
Check in was pleasant and prompt. Room was exactly what we needed for the 3 of us. Beds were comfortable and had nice duvets instead of the old hairy horse blankets of the past. Microwave, small fridge and safe were good. The only concern was the TV, which was a nice flat screen but the programming was not in HD so the picture was distorted and fuzzy. Resetting it to "set by program" put the picture back to its original form, but was much smaller than the TV and even less clear. But then, we didn't come there for the TV. The breakfast was very good with very attentive and pleasant staff that kept the food coming. The eating area appeared to be built specifically for that purpose and was very well setup and maintained. I would stay there again
Thank you for taking the time to post a review of your stay for us on Tripadvisor! I apologize for your issues with the TV and I will look into that. Generally we do not have any fuzzy channels but of course, it can happen I do hope you will come back and stay with us again. Thank you! Best wishes, Jane
This hotel was an excellent choice. We stayed in the King Suite, it is wonderful and worth the upgrade, big king size pillow top mattress, very comfortable, clean. Bathroom was large with high vaulted ceiling. Breakfast was much better than most. a lot of choices. staff very friendly, would definitely stay here again.
Thank you very much for this awesome review! I am thrilled that you enjoyed the upgrade to our suite. We certainly appreciate your business and it was a pleasure to have you stay with us. Please come back again in 2016!! Best wishes, Jane
This is well located just outside Bar Harbor township and offers very satisfactory motel accommodation, with friendly service. Don't raise your expectations too high however: the bathrooms are tiny and plasticky and the buffet breakfast not very good (in our opinion - maybe we're too fussy!).
Dear Tim Thank you for your review. I am sorry that we did not meet or exceed your expectations. Some bathrooms are larger than others. I am wondering what you would liked to have seen offered on our breakfast buffet. I am sorry you were not satisfied. . Thank you for your comments. Best wishes, Jane
A nice stay at this motel. Clean enough room, would have preferred the bathroom and sink area to be the same. It is hard to wash up without disturbing your partner. Also like every other hotel or motel we stayed at on this trip there is is no make-up mirror in the room. The cleaning staff forgot to replace toiletries on occasion. Nice Lobby with cookies, hot drinks and a fireplace in the afternoon.
Dear Debbie J Thank you for your honest review and I appreciate your letting me know of your dislikes. Our deluxe rooms do have make-up mirrors and some rooms do have separating doors between the bathroom and bedroom. We hope you will stay again and ask for one of those. Thank you. Best wishes, Jane
Had a great stay at the Best Western Acadia. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful with recommendations for activities. Nice, large room with very comfortable bed. Very nice, large complimentary breakfast and fantastic coffee in the lobby. Excellent value for the price and great location to visit Bar Harbor downtown and Acadia National Park.
Dear Pittlauren Thank you for posting such a nice review of your stay. I am pleased that you found us to be an excellent value and enjoyed your vacation here in Bar Harbor. We look forward to seeing you again in 2016. Thank you and best wishes, Jane
Nice quiet location from the craziness of Bar Harbor. Easy location to Acadia National Park. Staff is friendly and this Best Western loves to eat. Great morning breakfast with warm cookies in the afternoon.
Very knowledgeable, service-minded staff, especially Amanda at the front desk. Rooms were very clean, easily accessible, comfortable, and quiet, even though our room faced the highway.Well-maintained/landscaped property under good management. Well-stocked and clean complimentary breakfast bar was fitting way to start the day before our hike in Acadia National Park, which was just a few miles down the road. The evening we checked in and asked about places to eat, Amanda recommended that we consider the Chart Room. We did, and were not disappointed.
Dear Don S Thank you for your stay and this great review. Amanda is a “superstar” on our front desk and I thank you for the compliments on her behalf. I am so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and we do hope to see you again in 2016! Best wishes, Jane
We stayed at this hotel for a week in October. Decor was a little dated, but it didn't bother us as the room was very clean and bed was super comfortable. Parking was directly out the door of your room. Breakfast offerings were varied from day to day with certainly enough choices. The hotel is located outside of the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor so it made for a nice place to retreat to after a day of touring and hiking. It was certainly was a great choice for the area and the value. Kudos to ALL the staff as everyone is friendly and helpful.
Dear Kkknud We appreciate this lovely review of your stay with us. I am pleased that you were able to spend a week! Housekeeping works very hard to make sure the rooms are sparkling clean and thank you for giving them kudos! I am so happy that you feel we are a good value and a great choice! We agree!! All rooms have a refrigerator and microwave as well as many other items. Please stay again. Best wishes, Jane
Best Western Acadia Park Inn is a very nice Inn to stay if you are in the area. It is a typical Best Western hotel, but has nice grounds and has a hot and cold continental breakfast. It is very close to the entrance to Acadia National Park, which is nice. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. They have a laundry area to do laundry if needed. We enjoyed our stay there, it was quiet and the room was nice.
Dear Cyndi W I am very happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and we thank you for this great review! Please stay again. Best wishes, Jane
I have never taken the time to write a review, but we had such great service at this hotel I wanted to take time to give them kudos. We visited the first of Aug 2015 and it was just as nice as all the great reviews I has read previously. First of all, it is out of the downtown hustle and bustle and traffic of Bar Harbor, but just by approx 5 miles. The hotel offers the best breakfast I have ever had at a hotel. The menu changes daily, but we had eggs, sausage, waffles, corned beef hash, breakfast potatoes, fruit, yogurt, toast, etc. The staff is completely wonderful. Teenia was so helpful with making the reservations and helping us in person when we arrived. You can tell she loves people and her job. The hotel room was clean and quaint. You can tell it is an older hotel, but we experienced no problems during our stay. Each afternoon cookies and popcorn were made which was a treat after a long day hiking in Acadia National Park. We would definitely stay here again. The price was reasonable and the service was great.
Dear Kimberly B It is always music to our ears to hear that a former guests enjoyed their stay so much that they plan to stay with us again when in the area! Teenia is awesome with all guests and she loves meeting the public. I am very pleased you mentioned her by name. Thank you for this super review and for taking the time to make an exception for us and making us your first! We sure do appreciate all the “kudos”!!! My best to you, Jane
At about 2.5 miles from the Visitor center, this is close to the Park. Also it is on State Highway 3 so you don't need to get into the crowded area of the town. That for me is a bug plus. The room was clean and had all the regular trappings. I liked having a microwave in the room as it gave me the independence from having to go to a restaurant every single time. I've also liked the breakfast they provide in the morning. They have a pretty good spread and it certainly is filling. I was able to park right in front of my room and this was an added bonus. It helped me well when it rained. Also all the staff was very pleasant and helpful That said, this place does have a dated feel and I did not enjoy the decor of the room. Also it had an old air conditioner which was felt a little dusty. I must say having a better room would have improved the rating of this place further.
As a previous reviewer said, this is basically a large motel, slightly dated. In the block we stayed in, all the rooms are long and thin, with only a single small window. But that doesn't matter as you would want to keep your curtains drawn, being at ground level with the walkway immediately outside the window. It was clean and pleasant inside, nothing objectionable. Walls are thin, and there was a lot of noise from the one next door, even though they weren't being particularly raucous. Breakfasts were terrible! Day one's egg was scrambled - a solid homogenous lump! Day two's egg was a strange perfect flat semicircle, completely hard, with a yellow blob in the middle. Add in the paper plates and plastic cutlery and ... well ... yuk.
I love Best Westerns-nothing fancy but neat and clean with complimentary breakfasts. The staff members were helpful with advice on activities, restaurants and computer use. The location was easy to find too.
Thank you very much for this lovely review. I am very pleased that you enjoyed your stay and we do hope you will return another season for another visit! Best wishes, Jane
The outside of the hotel does look dated, but the grounds are kept up very nicely. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was very average, exactly what you may expect from an older Best Western. The property is "motel" style, (the door opens to the parking lot) which I usually do not like as single female traveler, but I did feel safe at the hotel. The location is farther out than I had hoped and although it is only a short drive into the little town of Bar Harbor, parking is very, very difficult, so it was a bummer to have to drive in each day. The location of this hotel was also very close in proximity to Acadia National Park.
Thank you for posting a review and for being our guest. Thank you for the many compliments. I am happy you felt safe here, because you were. I do hope you are able to stay with us again and perhaps you might try the Island Explorer for getting to and back from town rather easily. It runs late June until Columbus Day weekend this year. Thank you. Best wishes, Jane
Friendly, helpful staff. Clean rooms with all a traveler needs. Great breakfast bar included. Family friendly atmosphere. Close to the heart of Bar Harbor but not in the hustle and bustle. The room included sight seeing maps and brochures which helped us to selected some different activities we had not heard of.
Dear Becky B Thank you for writing such a nice review of your stay with us. I am happy that you found us to fit all of your necessities. We try to be as helpful as possible with anticipating what you might need. It sounds like you really enjoyed your visit and we hope you return to us, Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park soon! Best wishes, Jane
Best Western is not exactly in town and the outside might look a little dated, but it is an excellent place to stay when visiting Bar Harbor. It is a quality hotel/motel with great internet, breakfast, and accommodations. I love a bath that has the sink area separate from the tub/shower area and also a bathroom exhaust so that the shower steam doesn't haunt me when trying to put on make-up/do hair/etc. Breakfast was outstanding!!! I would most definitely stay here again when visiting Bar Harbor.
Dear CrubbyLou We welcome you back as soon as you can make the trip! Thank you very much for this great review of our property. I am very pleased that you found us to be an excellent place to stay! Best wishes, Jane
We stayed here for three nights during a trip to Acadia National Park. The motel is conveniently located right off Highway 3 near Bar Harbor. It was clean, nicely landscaped and in a quiet location. It is a large facility with several one story buildings. Guest parking is located in front of the rooms. The staff was helpful and friendly. The breakfast bar seemed more like a buffet restaurant with food in one room and a large seating seating area in another. The lady in charge of the breakfast did a fantastic job. The menu changed slightly each day and included biscuits & gravy, hash browns, omelettes, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, bacon, sausage, etc. Salsa and catsup were offered on the side. The breakfast bar also included cereals, muffins, bagels, yogurt, fresh fruit, etc. Truly, something for everyone. There is a large outdoor swimming pool and free wi-fi. We would definitely stay there again.
Dear Ichs65 It is always nice to hear former guests say they will return! Thank you so much for this awesome and informative review of the BEST WESTERN Acadia Park Inn and our staff! We are very proud of our property and new breakfast building with expanded menu. We look forward to seeing you again soon! Best wishes, Jane
Outstanding in every aspect! Very large room. Great people with lots of personal knowledge of Acadia Park, local food spots, etc. Different breakfast menu each morning. Something you don't often see. Older buildings with outside entries, but in perfect shape. These people are spending the time/money on the ongoing maintenance needed to keep a place up to date.
We did wonder about staying so far from the town but the location of this hotel actually was very convenient for the park and for getting to the quieter side of the island. Its a series of one storey blocks just off the main (and at night quiet) road but the accommodation does show signs of its age. We had people next door who were by no means noisy but we could still hear everything through the walls. And as we are quiet sleepers that was irritating. The desk staff did kindly look at options for us but none really suited us so we decided to stick it out. Sleep wasnt helped by the biker on the other side going for a sunrise trip up Cadillac mountain but I guess thats always a possibility here! Breakfast staff were friendly and cheerful and breakfast itself was decent. Desk staff were extremely helpful and even managed to get a message through to the dentist I had had to visit just before arrival.
First and foremost, the staff at this motel are national treasures, friendly, helpful, nothing too much trouble, they are to be commended and should be awarded for their efforts. Our room was spotless, a good size, bed amazingly comfortable, soooo many pillows ! The room was warm, able to open windows for some fresh air was a boon as so many places have 'locked' Windows. The entrance and grounds are so well kept, sitting at the pool relaxing in the late afternoon fall sunshine was such a pleasure. We would certainly visit again. Oh yes, the included breakfast is exceptional as are the staff attending it. The location is great for visiting Acadia NP, Bar Harbor and surrounds.
Dear Auntydidi I am thrilled that you found your stay with us to be so rewarding! I believe we DO have national treasures, too, even outside of the Acadia National Park! (My staff is so happy to hear that!)I am elated that you found everything from the bed, room cleanliness, staff to breakfast to be to your liking. It makes it all worth doing! Thank you! My very best you! Jane
We were close to the entrance of Acadia National park which was great so that we could get up early and rise with the sun on Cadillac Mountain. It is a 15 minute drive to Bar Harbor where you can enjoy the best Lobster dinners and walk along the Harbor. Beautiful area to visit.
Dear Maryann H Thank you for the review and for your stay with us. I am so happy that you enjoyed your visit and actually did get up and go to view the sunrise! Many try but few seem to succeed. (smile). The fall foliage is starting to really take hold and is spectacular! Thank you, Jane
Awesome place, awesome people! Very friendly staff, nice clean rooms. Very calm, quiet atmosphere. Beautiful surroundings. Very close to Acadia Park. All rooms are ground floor, easy access. Clean laundry facilities. Delicious breakfast, in a spacious, comfortable building.
Dear Joy H I love how you have described our property and the staff that runs it! Thank you so much! Thank you for this review and for staying with us! Please stay again soon! best wishes, Jane
McKays Public House was great for diner. Bar Harbor is charming and busy. We absolutely loved it and the Best Western really treated us well. We did not have time to spend another day here, but we will return and this Motel met our needs quite well.
Thank you Jim H for posting this great review for us. To know that you loved us makes us all very happy! We look forward to your next visit! Regards, Jane
Stayed here for 3 nights on our trip to Acadia. We had a comfortable king-sized bed in a clean well-equipped room with microwave, frig and coffeemaker. It had free wifi which worked well. Our room was in the back of the building and we were able to park in front of it, making it easy to unload the car. There was a large grassy area in the back with adirondack chairs for lounging. The room was very quiet - no traffic noise. The free breakfast was wonderful with a waffle-maker, yogurt, cereals, pastries, eggs, sausage, juice, coffee, etc. It was manned every morning by two wonderful ladies who kept it well supplied and made us feel like we were eating in their kitchen. They were a treasure - I hope the manager knows what an asset they are to his business. The rest of the staff was equally friendly though we had not as much contact with them as our stay was trouble-free. If you are staying in the Acadia area, you should seriously consider staying here - you won't regret it.
Very helpful, warm employees. A welcome letter came with our room keys, come on, how many hotel chains do that! The clean, spacious room had a very comfortable bed. And the included breakfast, variations on the offerings every day and a map in the spacious breakfast room to pin your hometown! Nice.
We recently enjoyed a 2 night stay at this complex and were very satisfied with the rooms, the staff and the continental breakfast. The rooms were comfy and very clean- (the staff person who cleaned our room even left us a pleasant note!) They were well equipped with all the amenities- refrig, microwave, coffee maker, wi- fi, etc. The staff was extremely helpful with info on Acadia ( how best to see it, a few options) and Bar Harbor downtown (where to eat, where to park, when to go- not when a cruise ship is in harbor and they keep a schedule!). We enjoyed the continental breakfast and the large room it was located in. Laundry on site that was outside under a roof type cover and seemed to be quite busy except in the early morning. The location was a few miles outside downtown Bar Harbor and very near the Visitors entrance to Acadia Nat'l Park. Would recommend this place to other travelers.
This motel was a little further from downtown Bar Harbor than we expected. The rooms are basic, but we slept well and other patrons were respectful and quiet. The breakfast room is very nice. They serve some form of hot eggs and meat each day. You can make your own waffle and they are quite good compared to some hotels. The coffee is very good and Carol will give you great advice on where to go and what to do in Acadia. The price was high for a motel with outdoor entrances but it is Bar Harbor. Basically the rooms are average and the breakfast and staff are very good.
Not far from Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor Maine, this property consists of one level, motel type rooms. The property is older but well maintained and clean. Both the room and bathroom were decent sized although the tub/shower seemed to be rather narrow. This would be a good value at half the price, but understanding the close location to the Park and town with its very high priced properties, perhaps this is not so expensive. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the breakfast typical.
the desk staff were very welcoming. The breakfast was the best by far of all the best westerns we stayed at on our trip with outstanding cooks. There was a separate dining room. Our room was great and clean.
