Nice visit

The location of this hotel was excellent. It is not fancy, but perfect of you are spending all your time outdoors all day. Water filler and coffee in office available all day. Front desk very helpful and conversational. We had two rooms and my husband had aome bugs in his room, otherwise I felt rooms were clean and kept up quite well for an older property. Worth the money spent for location!

This property was clean and in a convenient location to both walk to downtown Bar Harbor and a short drive to Acadia. The only issue I had was that the bathroom window didn’t have a curtain and the privacy film they had applied was coming off, but it wasn’t a big deal. They had a water bottle filling station and coffee available in the lobby and a fridge in the room.

The Anchorage was in a convenient location close to the main street. We had a king room. The bed was very comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was great. Michelle and Susan were helpful. All of the staff we met were terrific. It was a very nice stay.

Great location and simple stay

The staff were kind and the room was clean and simple. The best part is the location, as you can walk simply and safely into town in just a few minutes. Great restaurants and shops nearby. My one recommendation is to get a room on the second floor. On the first floor, the ceilings are super thin, and when the little kid ran around above us, it sounded like a herd of elephants.

Enjoyed the location as it was easily walkable to downtown, and near the island explorer bus line that would take us to other parts of the island. Also enjoyed 24/7 front desk and coffee service.
