Funky little hotel in downtown Bar Harbor. It was clean and the staff were friendly. They had parking, for smaller cars. It’s in an older building so if creaky floors don’t bother you, this place is for you.

Acadia Hotel is lovely. I like the charm of older buildings, anyway, but it was also clean, the breakfast was pretty good, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel is perfectly placed, in my opinion, as it's less than ten minutes from Acadia National Park, and is right on the green in Bar Harbor (literally, you just walk out the door and Bar Harbor's main area is right in front of you). The parking is also definitely a plus.

The location, staff, cleanliness, & lobby amenities were excellent. Our only recommendation would be more space for luggage storage, and more cabinet/storage space in bathroom. There wasn’t a space to store toiletries. We had to step around our luggage.
