Only problem is that there are no black out shades on windows so outside light at night and early morning is disturbing to sleep.

This place was solidly ok. There was a definite lack of communication between the staff - one staff member would tell us one thing and the next would completely contradict what the other would say which was a bit frustrating, especially when trying to make plans for our visit. Although they didn’t communicate anmongst their team well, all of the staff we dealt with were still very polite, professional, and friendly. We were quite disappointed that the hot tub was unavailable for our entire stay, as it was a main factor in our decision to book the wonder view over other nicer options in the area. Would have been nice to know ahead of time that not all of the amenities would be available. The water in our room took a long time to heat up, and the sink took a long time to drain (the sink would fill up all the way before the water could get hot and then you’d have to turn it off so it didn’t overflow, then wait for it to drain before turning it back on to continue warming up which was annoying). Once it warmed up though, water was hot and stayed hot. Aside from the negatives explained above, the bed and pillows were comfy, restaurant had a nice view, and the room served its general purpose. We weren’t in there much since we were there to explore Acadia and not there solely for the hotel. All in all, Wonder View was just ok in our opinion. Hard to say if we would stay there again or recommend it to others - it wasn’t horrible, but it also wasn’t amazing. Just ok

If you can get a bay view room the view is nice but the hotel itself is quite outdated and most of the amenities weren’t working properly during my stay. The heating was out on the hot tub and pool so both were freezing and the bar was only open on the weekend despite having a sign saying it’s open Monday-Saturday. Overall not a bad experience but probably should be priced lower.

It's a short walk to town but You're up on a small hill. And you could see the sunrise before anybody else in the country, right from your porch! Beds were comfortable. The shower was great. I can't say anything negative.And the price was right

The property has numerous types of rooms, including a new hotel under construction. We stayed in one of the older motel rooms with obstructed view due to trees they don't own. A walk across the campus will reveal the magnificent view. It was a fair deal in the early fall in a really interesting town.

I don’t tend to stay in the hotel room much during my trips, so the room quality isn’t never really the most important aspect to me. Bed was comfortable and the room was quite spacious. The AC didn’t seem to have a heating mode but there is a separate heater that works quite well. I stayed in the Livingston building and there seemed to be an odd smell when you enter your room but it’s not a particularly bad odor, it just takes a minute or two to get used to the smell. Other than that, I enjoyed my stay and would recommend others with a smaller budget to definitely consider this location. It’s about a 15 minute walk to the main area of Bar Harbor.

Check in was a little messed up as our GPS took us in the back way. Check in was in a totally different hotel or different building, I am not sure which. The property was very confusing until you got use to which way to go. The room we stayed in was old and dated. There was lots of hair in the bathtub and a HUGE bug that we had never seen before. Bed was super comfortable. The views from the restaurant were stunnng. The food was ok. But in all fairness they were closing this weekend for the season. So they were out of some popular choices. Staff were great. Would we stay again. Maybe.

Initially, finding the main office was a bit problematic as the layout of the hotel and its neighboring hotel was confusing. All in all, however, we enjoyed our stay at the hotel.
