This little hotel is ideally located in the center of town. Every restaurant was within 2-4 minutes and all other things to see were very close. We loved the front porch and enjoyed the made to order omelettes every morning. Even though it is a hotel, it had the feel of a cozy and warm inn. I recommend this place highly. It’s one of our favorite places that we’ve stayed.

I really enjoyed staying at the Acadia Hotel! It is a block off the main strip of Bar Harbor so it was very easy to find different dining options that were close by. The staff was friendly, the room was clean, they have a parking lot behind the hotel for their guests which made parking very convenient. The continental breakfast had an omelette bar option which was very refreshing! There was a tea and coffee bar that is complimentary and available all day. Would definitely recommend!

Great location in the heart of Main Street Bar Harbor. Typical of old homes and inns. It’s a bit noisy but the room comes with a sound machine. The draw is definitely the location. You are steps away from the restaurants and shopping of Main Street. Great staff as well. Stay upstairs!
