This was a quick and easy stay. Doorman helped with all of our luggage. Hotel and room were clean. Unfortunately we didn’t get to use the pool or hot tub but both were nice. They have chairs to sit by the bay at night and the boats in the water give good ambiance.

Ck in became questionable. When I reserved the room, I did it using the Expedia calendar of course, and the nights I chose were posted at $315 per night. Exactly why I chose them because the surrounding days were more expensive. I had flexibility and could have moved the dates in any direction. Yet, when I checked in, they were $375 and $327 respectively. Also, when I arrived I was told there would be a $25 per night “resort fee”. I was not made aware of this during Expedia booking process. I also paid more for a balcony. Come to find out, all of the rooms have balconies! Our view was misleading, on the ground floor overlooking the parking lot. In the Expedia pics , there were views of water, not front end of cars. The receptionist made it clear that I reserved a “standard “ room with a king bed which don’t come with water views. She made me feel like I got what I paid for, condescending was my take away. The hotel was really nice, great pool and very clean. Appreciated the bus service in and out of the village.

The location and views are beautiful. The pool (which is showing some signs of age) overlooks the water. There is a pool bar all nice. There is lovely landscaping. However. We had a mouse in our room! That is never ok and the staff handled the situation poorly. We ended up in the suite-nice but very dated.

Great get-a-way for my husband and I!

We loved our stay at Holiday Inn Resort Bar Harbor! We selected an ocean view, which was beautiful. The room was spacious, clean, and quiet. We loved the tiki bar and restaurants on site as well. The proximity to town and hiking in Acadia, with shuttle bus service available throughout our stay, was especially helpful. There was so much to do, we didn't really spend too much time in the room; however, after a long day exploring Bar Harbor's beauty, we knew we'd get a restful night before heading out again the next day. The only thing I would have requested is optional room service. You won't be disappointed opting to stay here though; I'll definititely book again!
