This hotel is conveniently located on the main street of Bar Harbor. Breakfast was good with hot entrees, yogurt, fresh fruit, coffee cakes, hot and cold cereals, juices, coffee and teas. Our king bed was comfortable, but the side chair was uncomfortable. Each day we received chocolates. Please note that many businesses, museums and locations in town and Acadia didn't open until 5/15 or later. There was free parking in town until that date.

A Nice, Comfortable Stay

The hotel offers a Continental breakfast which is very convenient. There are restaurants on both sides of the hotel and across the street, so the lackof room service was not a big deal. The staff was both cordial and helpful. It is a not far from the center of town, but as I went in the office season I cannot say if that's a blessing or a curse.

The Bar Harbor Grand was the perfect place for our stay. I was traveling with my sister and both of our husbands (kid-free trip), but there were a few families there with children who seemed to be enjoying themselves as well. The free breakfast in the morning was lively with the wait staff being very bubbly and attentive and we had fun conversations with other guests too. Eggs were served every morning along with biscuits, fruit, oatmeal, sourdough bread (my favorite) and all the juice, tea and coffee you could want (coffee and tea being available 24/7). The people behind the counter when we checked in, and then every morning after, were welcoming and always asking us how our stay was going, quick to answer any questions and offered travel and food suggestions. It felt more personal than staying at a big chain hotel, but had all the amenities of a big chain hotel. Parking was really easy and the hotel is walkable to just about most things in Bar Harbor: shops, restaurants, sightseeing. It's just a few minutes drive to get into Acadia and we also loved how close it was to the sandbar which is walkable during low tide and not to be missed! Oddly the only strange thing we could say about the hotel is that there seemed to be a female manager, tall and thin wearing a blazer, who occasionally zipped in and out of the eating area or stairwell and she was the least friendly person there. Everyone else was absolutely warm and welcoming the whole time! Luckily we only saw her twice.
