great room, great day and night time staff, great "on the go" breakfast - thanks !
Pros:

Room was great, staff was great, breakfast options were great . . . muffins, fruit, Kind bars were all excellent, thoughtful options for an "on the go" breakfast.

I esp. liked the choice of the Kind bars because (although not intentional / obvious), they were a nice way to have a small reminder of something we can all put a little more of in the world . . . and that is
"Kind" ness . . . ; - )

Cons:

As you can see, I obviously enjoyed my stay -
I'm taking the time to write in this section in order to explain my lower scores for comfort / location.
As you know, you're in a great, convenient location downtown; however, that does come with a certain degree of traffic noise - I realize that is not something you have any control over, I just wanted to explain the reason for the somewhat lower scores in those two categories

Great location
Pros:

Walking distance to downtown, 24/7 coffee in multiple varieties, simple grab-and-go breakfast, clean, friendly staff, very affordable at end of October.

Cons:

Strong chemical smell that needed to be aired out, beds were just ok (squeaky, starting to collapse), small TV

Pros:

Nicely situated above town but a short walk to everything.

Cons:

I was disappointed that we stayed for two nights and their policy said that 1 to 4 nights she only paid one pet fee, but they charged us a pet fee for both nights

Cozy, convenient, and hospitality-packed—the ultimate base camp for Acadia and downtown!
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at the Seasider Motel! The location is unbeatable—just a short, easy walk into downtown Bar Harbor and only minutes from both the Cadillac Mountain and Beehive Trail entrances at Acadia National Park. Our guest room was clean, lovely, and had everything we needed for a comfortable home base. The staff were warm, pleasant, and hospitable from check-in right through to checkout. We especially appreciated the complimentary snacks and drinks available all day—coffee, teas, bottled water, juices, granola bars, and crackers—plus a nice daily continental breakfast with fresh pastries, muffins, cereals, oatmeal, and fruit. We truly had a lovely stay and would definitely return!

Cons:

Nothing - thanks for a great experience!

Pros:

Great location. Short walk to main street and short drive to Cadillac mountain entrance. I forgot how convenient parking right at your door can be. The building is a little old but everything has been updated and is clean. There is a small table and 2 chairs for eating or working. The beds were comfortable

Cons:

There was an easy chair but it wasn't too comfortable if you are a chair sleeper. There was no luggage rack but my trick is to use the ironing board.
