Recently renovated, clean, fresh, modern and extremely welcoming, The Pathmaker Hotel is the best place to experience Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We enjoyed our stay so much. The people make this property even more beautiful; profesional, accommodating and very nice. The breakfast is served, multiple choices in the hotel restaurant, surrounded by books. Gives a very intimate, homey , family feeling. Thank you, I hope we will be back

All four of us loved this hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is a sit down, waiter service meal and the food was excellent. The dining area and bar are beautiful. The rooms were clean and well decorated, the beds extremely comfortable and the bathrooms were well stocked. The indoor parking was a nice bonus. This is a fabulous place.

I thought the pictures and the price were going to be too good to be true. But they weren’t! The hotel was clean and conveniently located right in downtown bar harbor. We would definitely return! Breakfast was a select menu, but had I think 6 good selections! Better than any continental I’ve been too.
