What guests say
9.4 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 777 guest reviews
Bar Harbor Motel earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment across 30 reviews, with guests consistently singling out the exceptionally friendly staff, generous complimentary breakfast, and charming retro atmosphere packed with family-friendly extras like s'mores, movie nights, and a free shuttle to town. The main recurring grumbles centre on bathroom upkeep — including slippery showers, low water pressure, and faulty locks — and a cramped breakfast area during busy periods, but these are minor niggles in an otherwise highly regarded stay.
