Location close to Acadia. Waterfront! Totally remodeled!
The hotel was oversold and they “walked”/moved me to the West Street Hotel right in the heart of the village on the water. Much better location, boutique style, didn’t need to use my car at all.
The hotel ?upgraded? us to a ?suite? in the stone house (which was beautiful).

This hotel is a great option for Bar Harbor. The staff was great, it was spotlessly clean, parking was convenient, very walkable to many places. The bed in my room did need to be replaced soon but it was reasonable. The light continental breakfast ok.

Top Tips
- Reserve hotel rooms 60-90 days in advance for July-August weekends, and 3-4 months ahead for late September or early October foliage weekends. Booking early helps secure a spot and avoid last-minute rates, especially during Bar Harbor's high season. Consider joining hotel loyalty programs for priority booking or possible discounts, and always verify the cancellation policy before finalizing.
- Ride the free Island Explorer shuttle from mid-June through late October to reach Acadia trailheads and downtown Bar Harbor hotels, and avoid limited parking between 9:00 and 15:00 during peak hours. Request shuttle maps or real-time updates from your hotel front desk, and ask about accessibility features if you have mobility needs.
- Expect on-site hotel parking to cost $20-35 per night; downtown municipal lots have seasonal time limits and metered blocks. Ask if valet service or electric vehicle charging is available, and contact your hotel for latest parking availability and fees.
- Do not depend on Uber or Lyft for Mount Desert Island trips, as rideshare service is inconsistent. Book airport transfers or local taxis in advance, ideally through your hotel, and confirm with your hotel if you need accessible vehicle options or early or late transfers.
- Historic inns and many Bar Harbor B&Bs are multi-story and may lack elevators. Request a ground-floor room and confirm step-free access, roll-in showers, or grab bars during booking. Inquire about accessible parking or service animal policies if needed, and let the hotel know your specific mobility requirements for tailored assistance.
- Pack layers for summer stays; typical highs are 60-75°F (15-24°C), and nights cool to 45-55°F (7-13°C). Bring a windproof jacket and insect repellent containing DEET or picaridin for outdoor activities. Ask your hotel if they offer gear rentals, like umbrellas or jackets, or have space to store outdoor equipment.
- Arrive at Acadia National Park before 8:30-9:00 or use the Island Explorer shuttle to avoid full lots, as Park Loop Road parking often fills by mid-morning in summer. Check with your hotel concierge for current park conditions or up-to-date shuttle schedules before heading out.
- Check the hotel’s policy page to see the full nightly cost before booking, as resort and service fees and taxes are frequently added after the advertised price. Ask if amenities like breakfast or Wi-Fi are included to avoid unexpected charges.
- Review Wi-Fi reliability if remote work is important. Downtown hotels usually have strong connections, while smaller B&Bs can be inconsistent. Request a recent speed test or business-class room if high-speed internet is essential, and ask about business centers or in-room workspace options. If in-room Wi-Fi is weak, check if the lobby signal is stronger.
