Excellent stay, walking distance to all of Bar Harbor, short drive to Acadia
Pros:

Best hotel in Bar Harbor! The room was spacious and super clean. The staff was friendly and accommodating during our stay. Excellent staff! The amenities were wonderful. Walking distance to many wonderful bars and restaurants, and of course the waterfront. Our stay could not have been better. Quick drive to Acadia National Park. The rocking chairs on the front porch was an added bonus. The breakfast spread was wonderful. Will definitely be staying here again! Would recommend to family and friends.

The staff was excellent, the breakfast 5 star but, the amenities were lacking; a great stay for families, not newlyweds.
Pros:

The breakfast was exemplary. The Chef and his crew were 4 star. The breakfast literally was the best meal I had for the days I stayed the hotel and we ate at other places in Bar Harbor. The staff made the experience exceptional.

Cons:

Sadly, the hot tub was only accessible from dawn to dusk. We were out and about from dawn to dusk. We stayed three days of our trip at that location and then decided to spend the last four at another location off of town square, but it had an accessible hot tub hours and it was on the Island Express route!

Great location, great hotel
Pros:

Great location, rooms are very clean and quiet. Nice touches, like the diverse breakfast buffet (included in the room rate) that had hot foods (eggs, bacon, etc.), fresh fruit, homemade cakes and muffins, etc. Afternoon snacks too (popcorn, cookies, etc.). Rockers on porch were a great way to relax at the end of a busy day touring Acadia. Tons of restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. And parking is included in the room rate (parking can be challenging to find in Bar Harbor--and expensive). But I think the biggest thing that stands out is the staff, who are warm and welcoming and work hard to ensure that your stay exceeds expectations.

You will not be disappointed with your stay at the Bar Harbor Grand Hotel. They offer tremendous service, are very friendly and helpful and offer some nice perks. Make your own trail mix bar, fruit ice water all day, whoopie pies were a special treat, blankets to use when you sit at the front porch The list goes on and on. You will love the location!

Best Hotel in Bar Harbor
Pros:

Absolutely fantastic stay. Loved it so much we extended our trip a day. Special shoutout to Randy and Neil, for providing the best service, helpful advice, and even making sure we made it back safely from Acadia National Park. Truly above and beyond. Hotel is beautiful, location cannot beat. Made even better with incredible staff. Cannot wait to come back here for another stay.

Perfect spot in Bar Harbor
Pros:

This stay exceeded our expectations. The place has an older style decor but is new and very nice. It made for a nice mood. The staff was incredible and super nice. The place is convenient to restaurants of Bar Harbor so walking out and getting a bite/drink was crazy easy. The breakfast was the perfect level and amount to start a day of activities. This will be at the top of my list for return stays in Bar Harbor.

Very good place to stay.
Pros:

This hotel is really great. It's not anything specific or any one point or offering that makes it stand out. They seem to try to do everything right. The rooms were quiet, clean, and spacious. It is within walking distance to all town activities but a couple of blocks away from the noise and congestion. Breakfast was very good. And the hotel really tries to work to sustainability objectives in the use of their resources.
