Days Inn Bar Harbor

"The room was great, we enjoyed our stay. The only issue was the room darkening curtains. They weren't so dark and let a lot of light in around the top and sides which stinks when the sun comes up so early."

Seasider Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay, expensive but cheaper than some of the neighboring properties and you can't blame them for keeping up with the pricing up there. Staff was very nice. room was a good size beds were comfortable, great location about a 15 minute walk into town all on sidewalks. the only slight critique is that the shower has an oval shower rod so the shower curtain doesn't lay flush against the tub so water got on the floor, but no biggie. would absolutely stay again!"
