Parking was extremely easy, especially on a busy fall weekend. Navigation was convenient to multiple Acadia entrances. The coffee, hot cocoa, and snacks in the lobby were much appreciated. We grabbed packets of hot cocoa and snacks the night before to take with us for early-morning sunrises in the park. Beds and blackout shades made sleeping comfortable. You can walk to pretty much everything in town, but it is a pretty decent walk to things like the sandbar. Check out Havana right across the street for a more upscale dinner!

Britney, the Property Manager, was amazing during our 4 night stay. The check in process was efficient, her advice and counsel regarding park entry during the Gov’t shutdown and recommendations for restaurants was excellent. Britney made our stay in Bar Harbor at Main Street Motel our favorite stop on our Northeastern Road Trip 2025. Can’t recommend it high enough.

It was very clean and homey. Easy walk down Main Street. Britney in the office was great. Good coffee, teas, and snacks available 24 hours a day! The bathroom fan didn't work but I told them about it so it's probably fixed.
