Top Southwest Harbor Hotel Reviews

Hawthorn Extended Stay by Wyndham Ellsworth / Bar Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"We just really loved it"

Acadia Ocean View Hotel

8/10 Good

"From a picture, we thought we would be closer to the water. There was a little view of it. This would be a great place for families with children in the warmer months, pool, and lots of room to run around or ride bikes. This is an older hotel that has been updated. We wanted to Uber into Bar Harbor but no Ubers were in the area. Luckily we were able to find parking both evenings."

Comfort Inn Ellsworth - Bar Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"The Manager and staff were very kind and helpful. The guests were happy and friendly. Great location, close to everything."

Seasider Motel

10/10 Excellent

"We did a lot of walking while we were here. It took us about 15 minutes to walk to all the restaurants and shopping. Great location for us. Staff were great. We felt like it was a great value for what we received. We also enjoyed the carry and go breakfast. We ended up using them as snacks after our many hikes."

Holiday Inn Resort Bar Harbor - Acadia Natl Park by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"All was wonderful! Very clean room, staff was friendly. View was lovely. Would definitely stay again! Even was able to see a couple of seals out in the water in front of the resort."

The Pathmaker Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel that is convenient to Acadia National Park and all the amenities of Bar Harbor. Loved the onsite restaurant for breakfast and dinner."

Colonial Inn Ellsworth

8/10 Good

"Overall, we were very pleased with the property. The bathroom looked brand-new and everything was very clean and the staff was pleasant. Our room was quiet. The breakfast consisted of boxed cereal, individually wrapped pastries, etc. As for protein, peanut butter was available to put on toast, they had a quality brand yogurt and on my last day I noticed that there was a microwaveable burrito. Not a particularly appetizing selection. Think of the breakfast as grab-and-go kind of snacks. I could not give the property a higher rank because of this."

Stone Park

10/10 Excellent

"Super clean, cozy and perfect!"

Atlantic Coast Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and convenient! Great alternative to the high costs of Bar Harbor! We were very pleased!"
