Enjoyed the location as it was easily walkable to downtown, and near the island explorer bus line that would take us to other parts of the island. Also enjoyed 24/7 front desk and coffee service.

This hotel is simple and clean, it worked perfectly for our stay in Bar Harbor. It is in a wonderful location, we didn't use our car for 2 whole days as we could walk everywhere we wanted to go!
