Top Thunder Hole Hotel Reviews

Atlantic Eyrie Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Ocean view room. Perfect way to wake up in the morning!"

Holiday Inn Resort Bar Harbor - Acadia Natl Park by IHG

8/10 Good

"The staff is amazing!!!! The grounds are beautiful and the accommodations are perfect. We were on the 4th floor with a beautiful ocean view. The location is great too!! Only a short drive (maybe 5 minutes) to AcadiaI National Park. Also a very short drive to the downtown area. We were traveling with our very expensive bicycles and we felt comfortable leaving them on the back of our vehicle. Of course they were locked and covered but we normally will not leave them unattended, period. I would definitely stay here again."

Bar Harbor Manor

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was fantastic, all of them very helpful including Jenny with the cleaning staff. The grab & go breakfast was great, lots of options to choose from. The location was perfect, close to town but far enough away it was peaceful and quiet. I highly recommend!"

Main Street Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Do yourself a favor and stay here! The rooms were clean and bright. The location at the end of Main Street is perfect. Easy walk to eat dinner, get ice cream, or shop at the many cute shops! Very close to Acadia National Park. The lobby has free coffee, hot cocoa, hot cider, water, and lots of snacks! Friendly and reasonable. We would most definitely stay here again."

Bluenose Inn - Bar Harbor Collection

8/10 Good

"Blue Nose Inn provided spectacular views of the water (think beautiful sunrises), ample parking, and so many amenities. The property is within walking distance of restaurants and shops (about 20+minutes), but it's hilly so might not be suitable for some. There are nice touches throughout the hotel - a 24 hr coffee/tea bar, plush robes in rooms and a breakfast restaurant on site with stunning views. Our room was spacious, but dated. Actually, my husband said it was nostalgic for him (pink floral). Overall, we had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property."

Bar Harbor Grand Hotel

8/10 Good

"Breakfast included was a plus. I would say the food and variety was slightly above average. The room was a good size and it was clean. The location was also convenient for walking around town and to restaurants. Well below average was the fitness room. They only had a few dumbbells (nothing above 35 pounds) and no weight machines. As with just about all hotels these days, it was way overpriced. That was the biggest negative."

Seasider Motel

10/10 Excellent

"This is the basic motel that is the perfect base for exploring Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Why? - free parking - excellent location that is only an eight minutes stroll from the center of Bar Harbor. - you were located nearly at the entrance of Acadia National Park. - there is free bottled water and coffee served all day and night - the rooms are basic, but have hard surface flooring that is very clean (no dirty carpeting)… A comfortable bed… and a very clean bathroom with great shower pressure. While the other hotels are fancier in the area… This was perfect for the price In the evening, I recommend taking the four- minute drive over to the Blue Nose Inn for an old-school opulent bar that has piano music nearly every evening"

Hampton by Hilton Bar Harbor

8/10 Good

"Nice, clean hotel in a very beautiful location off the beaten path. A bit pricey for this level of hotel but the entire area is expensive. Breakfast was simple but complete with excellent coffee and pastries along with eggs, etc. When we first arrived, the room we were assigned had a wet carpet from a leak in the bathroom. The manager immediately came to the room, assessed the issue and relocated us with a discount. Professional and courteous. We would recommend"

Moseley Cottage Inn & Town Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Super cute, clean, quiet and close to Downtown Bar Harbor."
