Great stay and perfect location
Pros:

This hotel is in a great central location. You can walk to everything!
Hotel staff were very welcoming and the rooms were nice and clean. We used the pool and hot tub after days of hiking and biking.
Continental breakfast had many options, and they even had cold brew iced coffee.
We enjoyed sitting on the front porch and people watching too!
This hotel is a great option for families and I would definitely stay here again.

We had the best experience staying at the Bar Harbor Grand! Location is excellent. Staff is friendly and hospitable. Accommodations are warm and inviting while still maintaining cleanliness and a sense of some “newness.” Will definitely stay again!

Best value hotel in Bar Harbor
Pros:

This is a very comfortable hotel. The rooms are spacious, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the location is very convenient to the town’s restaurants and shops. A buffet breakfast is provided every morning that offers a wide variety of food items. The hotel’s location is at the end of Main Street where most of the shops and restaurants are located and is a short walk to get to them. That means that the hotel is quiet and peaceful since it is not next to the busy part of Main Street. The hotel is also located near the access road to Arcadia National Park which makes visiting the Park very convenient. The hotel rates are very reasonable considering what you get in comfort, convenience, and amenities.

Great family friendly hotel
Pros:

We had a fabulous experience at the Grand Hotel. We were traveling with 3 generations and all of us loved our stay. The rooms are clean and well appointed (every hotel should have a setup for charging phones and computers on the nightstand like theirs!). And the continental breakfast was amazing - including dedicated gluten free options and lots of kid friendly options as well. Thank you for helping us create wonderful family memories!

Fabulous hotel in Bar Harbor
Pros:

Fabulous hotel! Immaculately clean, such friendly staff, good outdoor space, nice breakfast (I ate on the porch in my rocking chair) and excellent cozy beds. Even found a nice summer fleece blanket in the drawer. And a warm pool and hot tub! A mini vacation in my home state of Maine!
