• Wendy (10/5): - The room was spotless. Quiet neighborhood and close to town. Very friendly and helpful staff. It was perfect
• KIMBERLY (10/5): Accommodations, location and service exceeded my expectations. Would heartily recommend to other tns - The motel was equal or better than much more pricey alternatives. All was great.
• Clément (10/5): Le meilleur Motel de Bar Harbor - Un des meilleurs motels dans lequel j’ai séjourné aux Etats-Unis avec un personnel vraiment attentionné et aux petits soins.
• Daniel (10/5): -
• Lee (9/5): Great little hotel with fantastic staff - Women at check in was knowledgable and very friendly. Gave lots of info, would definitly stay again Peak season so a tad expensive, but proportional to the rest of town, if looking for cheaper stay outside of the island
• Stuart (10/5): Absolutely loved it! When we come back to Bar Harbor we will 100% stay again. - We absolutely loved our stay! We couldn’t believe how nice the room was. It was very clean and spacious, it had a nice little front porch area and a nice sized cupboard to store our smaller suitcases. The staff on site were extremely friendly and helpful, they provided us with a local map and marked out recommendations for coffee, breakfast and dinner places. It was a 5 minute walk to downtown Bar Harbor and we had no issues with parking at all. There were no tea and coffee facilities in the room. However it was a 10 second walk to the reception where the facilities are located. They were always fully stocked and also had a filling station for your water bottle.

We would definitely stay here again!

Highly recommend and would go again. - So many things: Great location with an easy walk to the town centre; fantastic host (Melissa and her team) in terms of friendliness, courtesy and helpful with ideas for places to try; property and room cleanliness to the highest level. You rarely come across a place kept so clean and tidy; a very comfortable and cosy room.
• Angel (10/5): - Island Place is an amazing stay to visit Bar Harbor and Acadia. The hotel is clean and well maintained and walking distance from downtown and the Village Green. We were able to walk to the shuttle buses instead of driving. Maureen and everyone there are the nicest people we've encountered at a hotel ever. They have amazing recommendations and made us feel like home. We are eager to come back!

• Mary (10/5): - The staff was so friendly. The place was simple and quiet. Walkable to all the shops
• Jennifer (10/5): - Had no idea what I was doing when I planned our first trip to Acadia. Island Place was really a surprise gem and was the PERFECT base for us. It’s about a 10 minute walk to Main Street, so you’re walking distance to everything but far away from the crowds. Super convenient to get to Bar Island and to drive to the main roads. And the free parking spot took all the potential headache out of finding a spot for the car. Maureen and the rest of the staff were so friendly and welcoming, always saying hello and asking about our trip. The room itself was clean, comfy, and quiet. Would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend!
• Susan (10/5): - Not a two story facility makes it convenient for elderly. A hand rail would be helpful in bathroom to get in and out of tub
• Joni (10/5): - Great staff, very welcoming, informative and helpful. Great location to everything.
• Heidi (10/5): -
• John (10/5): - very good
• Katherine (10/5): Perfect home base for your visit to Acadia. - The room was a nice size, with two comfy chairs, a full sized dresser, a closet, and a good-sized bed, plus the largest, most functional mini-fridge/mini-freezer I've ever seen. In addition, one had access 24 hours to things, such as ice, in the lobby. The free parking was great, the comfy chairs and table outside the room on the front porch lovely to relax and read a book, and the women who run the reception area couldn't have been more friendly, welcoming and helpful. The location is ideal - easy to walk into the center of town (including the bus stop for the park), easy to walk to a full-size grocery store and an awesome coffee shop, and easy to get out of town without dealing with traffic. The whole place just seemed exceptionally well thought out and well-run. Absolutely nothing.
• Carolyn (10/5): - Great property!!! Would definitely stay there again and recommend to others traveling to Bar Harbor & Acadia.
• Debra (10/5): Great place to stay in Bar Harbor - Excellent location and very clean. Easy to walk everywhere. Office staff (especially the owner) was extremely helpful with recommendations of where to eat and off the trail attractions. So pleasant. Nothing
• Daniel (10/5): - This is an incredible spot in Bar Harbor, parking right in front and easily walkable to the entire city. The staff was so friendly too
• Yvonne (10/5): -
• Kaitlin (10/5): - We had such a wonderful stay at Island Place! Kim was so friendly when she checked us in and gave us so much helpful information about the area. The location couldn’t be better—an easy walk to downtown Bar Harbor and just a quick drive to Acadia National Park. Parking right out front was super convenient. The rooms were immaculate, cute, and perfectly quaint. We loved having a sitting area right outside our room on the deck to relax and drink some coffee, and the gardens were absolutely beautiful. We even met the owner as we were checking out, and she was so kind and personable. We’ll definitely stay here again for both the cleanliness and the unbeatable location. Highly recommend!
• Steven (10/5): The location was excellent and the staff were very informative - Clean, friendly Nothing
• Myrna (10/5): - This was a wonderful and clean place to stay. Melissa and Maureen were incredibly helpful and provided plenty of assistance and information about popular restaurants and activities in the area. Location was perfect to take a quick walk to town for shopping, food and activities without having to pay for parking in the main part of town. Highly recomend staying here and would love to stay here again.
• Shannon (10/5): - Great place!! Central location able to walk to downtown every day, room was incredibly clean, the staff was so friendly and extremely helpful (they knew what shuttle we should take better than the folks working the bus stop lol), was great to have parking as well (and no issue getting a spot!) will definitely be back!
• Tyra (10/5): - Great stay and the lady who checked us in was such a sweetheart!
• Patrick (10/5): Honeymoon getaway - Super comforting and close to town. Perfect for our little two night stay in the area. Extremely nice staff, great recommendations, only a short walk into town.
• Timothy (10/5): - Great place to stay. Very convenient access to Acadia National Park. Owner was amazing. If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Will definitely return and recommend highly.
• Adele (10/5): - The property was just what we needed! It was comfortable, clean, and the staff were amazing!
• Sheila (10/5): - Property is conveniently located off Rt 3 and it is a very leisurely 5-7 minute walk to the main strip and harbor area so no need to drive if you don't want to. Rooms are clean and well kept, queen bed was very comfortable. Free ice and water refill station in check in area are convenient and much appreciated. Ladies that keep the check in desk are very friendly and will offer recommendations for food and activities. Rooms are relatively quiet considering proximity to the main road. Worth it for the convenience. Would love to stay here again!
• Sarah (10/5): - Walk to everything! Spotless room, newly remodeled, comfy bed, cute decor.

• Joshua (10/5): - We had a fantastic stay! Really nice and clean place with friendly and helpful staff. Perfect location, was great to park the car here and have it for trips into Acadia but being able to walk just a few minutes to anything we wanted to do in town. Thank you for the wonderful weekend!
• Lee (10/5): - Wonderful place to stay.
• Anne (10/5): - My stay at Island Place was fantastic! The staff were all so nice and the location was perfect for day hiking in Acadia and then walking to dinner later that evening.
• Cynthia (10/5): - Close location- nice staff and comfortable bed
• Petersen (8/5): Very good -
• William (8/5): Very good -
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We had a great stay. Place was very clean and the staff was exceptional!
• Jennifer (10/5): - Room was enormous, clean and very comfortable. All the staff we dealt with were so friendly - explaining the local area and Acadia National Park. The hotel is so close to everything in Bar Harbor so you can leave the car and just walk around. Super close to Acadia - just a 10 minute drive. Coffee, tea etc. available at the reception, as well as a place to refil water bottles which was appreciated. Would have loved if the rooms had glasses instead of plastic cups though. Would definitely stay again!
• Danielle (10/5): - Cute little motel, clean, staff super friendly and helpful.
• Alissa (10/5): - We loved it!
• Cynthia (8/5): Great Location, Friendly Staff - The ONLY thing that bothered me about this stay was the price. At almost $400/night (when fees & taxes were added), it seemed expensive for a room in an older style motel with no frills, no breakfast, & very little amenities. That being said, the rooms were clean & in very good condition. There was only one community microwave to use in the Lobby but there was a fridge in the room. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and informative. When we checked in, they had maps ready to show us the recommended eating & shopping places and how to get there. Parking was free & it was an easy walk to downtown Bar Harbor so it was nice not to have to fight for a parking spot because we could leave our car at the motel. It was also in a good location to slip out & be on our way to Acadia Nat'l Park quickly without fighting traffic. The beds were comfortable & the water was hot. Even though they did not offer breakfast, they did have a coffee bar in the lobby that was available for hot drinks & guests had a code to access the lobby before/after hours. If it had been less expensive, it would have been nice to have had more time to explore Bar Harbor & Acadia Park, but the price of the rooms limited our stay to 2 nights. To be fair, the prices in the area were all a little steep though, and some much higher than what we paid so maybe it was just a matter of demand over supply, but it hurts a common person's budget to pay that much just to have a place to sleep.
• Horgan-geis (10/5): We enjoyed our stay immensely. - Our room was clean and served perfectly as our home base as we explored the hiking trails in Acadia National Park. The office staff (in particular, Melissa) were extraordinarily friendly and helpful. We got great hiking advice from Melissa!
• Elizabeth (10/5): - Great
• Wing (9/5): Comfortable stay at a convenient location - The friendly and helpful staff and location of the place. It is walkable to town. Parking in town is pricey and it's great that this place has free parking. The bathroom is tight and the A/C is noisy.
