Perfect Relaxing Hotel - Close to Everything
We loved our stay. It was very relaxing and everything we needed. It was perfectly located in the heart of bar harbor to all the restaurants, shops, and our kayak tour. We were able to catch the bus to Acadia National Park right across the street from the hotel. The bar attached to the hotel had really good martinis. We loved sitting on the front porch to just relax after a day in the park. We can’t wait to go back again some day!

Excellent place to stay!
From the moment of check-in to checkout, the entire staff was kind and friendly and helpful. Besides that the building was in incredible shape and so nicely maintained. The gardens outside by the Parking area or just a nice added touch. Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone. Walking distance to town is one minute

Location is great and room smelled wonderful. I was unimpressed with the bathroom, it was very dated. What was advertised as breakfast included was ‘breakfast treats.’ This was set to start at 7AM and were still not available by 7:15AM. Staff was not welcoming and seemed inconvenienced by me.

We had a wonderful stay at Acadia downtown Hotel, the room was clean and the staff was friendly and gave us lots of information on where to go and what to see, do and eat! The location is perfect, walking distance to everything in downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National park was about 10 minutes away by car. When we come back, we will stay at the Acadia Downtown Hotel again for sure!

Perfect for a few days in bar harbour. Meet at check in by Jodi and a glass of champagne! Shown to our room. Clean and comfortable with everything we needed. There was some street noise as we were at the front of the hotel however it all went quiet at about 1030 so no problem for us. Easy walk to shops and restaurants. Would stay again
