Such a great place! Has so many amenities, a free shuttle into downtown that is super easy to use. Hotel staff and transportation staff are eager to answer all questions and are friendly. Wonderview is also walking distance to downtown! This is a beautiful place to explore! It was so clean and the onsite restaurant was amazing too! Can’t wait to come back!

This is a great location with a back way into Acadia; avoiding the main traffic. But it is walkable to the downtown - 15 minute! Checkin is a little confusing because this hotel has been gobbled up by a higher end hotel and you check in there instead at the hotel itself. But there are signs to guide you. Being gobbled up isnt bad- they give you access to some nice amenities. The only caution is the driveways you need to travel through are one lane, but traffic is light on the property. The stay was quiet and the proximity to the park was fantastic. I'd stay again when in the area.

The Wonder View had a nice, yet older room. This motel seems to be the overflow from the newer motel beside it. There is no view. It may have been the place to stay 30 years ago but the time has passed. They are building a new section beside the Bluenose. Stay there!

This is truly a 2 star. Appears to be very little investment made to modernize. Felt a bit campy w the doors that don’t have a tight seal, the poor lighting, and the old fashioned bathroom w insufficient cabinetry or table to place toiletries. But it met our needs! Beds were comfortable. A/c worked great. Nice outdoor areas. The service at the Looking Glass was painfully slow. But the food was good. Overpriced, but good enough. Amazing view! Can’t beat that view. I’d stay here again because it did have so many features that elevated the experience. Bar w incredibly talented piano player to end the night was so entertaining. Wonderful pool and hot tub. If you aren’t looking for a 5 star and want a more affordable option, this was spot on. Loved the transportation that can every 30 minutes into Bar Harbor. Loved the front desk staff. So kind and pleasant. I’d stay again and recommend it. A few aesthetic investments and this could easily be a 3 star.

Family of 4 + a dog
The people at the front desk were great! When we checked in they had a goodie bag for our dogwich included a couple of poop bags, a fancy dog treat, and a plastic bowl. In the room there was a three ring binder that had information about the hotel, and the area; so helpful. The indoor pool and hot tub were great after a day of hiking. Will probably stay here again.

Overall pleasant experience. Clean, large rooms, comfy beds, access to indoor and outdoor pools at Bluenose Inn, great piano player nightly in the lobby bar, walk or shuttle downtown. Housekeeping 3/5 for not restocking TP, coffee or taking out trash.
