Stayed her last week and really liked it. Was traveling solo for a couple of days to do some" Tourist Hiking" in Arcadia. I chose this BW location because it was just outside of Bar Harbor and hoping it didn't have as much traffic. It did not disappoint. It`s also close to the National Park Entrance. Yes it`s a Motel style Hotel. Which I like because I could literally park right in front of my door and made super easy for unloading and loading the car each day. Was only here 2 days so I did not use the laundry. There is a playground and a fire pit that was on my side of building. Only regret is the pool was located on the other side of the property so I never used it. Breakfast is your typical compilatory fair. Everything fresh and hot. Wish they had more hot item selections then the 2 on that day ,it was eggs and turkey sausage patties? settled for a bagel and coffee. Room was spottles and well stocked. Bed was comfortable. Shower pressure was great after a hiking and exploring all day. Well worth the price point. Following the growing trend the Front Desk is only open to 9 pm but a Welcome letter does cover questions.

I asked during check-in if there was an elevator and was told that this is a motel with rooms that have exterior entrances. We found the room to be spacious, clean, comfortable, and quiet. Although my husband felt the room had an odd odor, it was not offensive to me. We could park right outside our door, making it easy to unload. The breakfast is… Read more
I asked during check-in if there was an elevator and was told that this is a motel with rooms that have exterior entrances. We found the room to be spacious, clean, comfortable, and quiet. Although my husband felt the room had an odd odor, it was not offensive to me. We could park right outside our door, making it easy to unload. The breakfast is a very basic continental breakfast, but since it's free, it serves its purpose. Another nice feature is that the shuttle to Acadia's different entrances and downtown Bar Harbor can be accessed in front of the motel. There is no official stop, so you stand on the side of the road, and the bus will eventually stop, LOL. One nearly passed us by but screeched to a halt to pick us up. It's a great option to take the shuttle downtown, avoid parking, have dinner, shop, and enjoy ice cream. The last shuttle back to the motel is at 10:15 pm. Rooms are cleaned every 3 days unless requested. If you want clean towels without having the room cleaned, you can put the dirty ones outside your door. We did not know any of this because we hadn't read the fine print and found out when we traipsed to the front desk with dirty towels in tow. It was a good stay for last-minute plans, a little pricey for what it is, but to be expected for the location. Read less

The Best Western Acadia Park Inn is the best of the best in Bar Harbor! A true gem of a property, convenient location providing easy access to Acadia National Park and downtown. Family like atmosphere with a beautiful, relaxing layout to include picnic tables, outdoor seating with fire pits make for a warm and inviting environment. Awesome outdoor pool and kids playground, with a nice breakfast room close by. Very clean property with comfortable rooms - the beds are great! Special mention for the King Rooms located right next to the pool. A very well managed Best Western by Jane - General Manager with excellent Front Office, Housekeeping and Maintenance teams. The staff are incredible while creating great memories and hospitality. Jane, Odette, and Peggy Sue are a fantastic management team, to include Mary & Walter (front desk), Kevin from Maintenance, and John, Yeraldy, Edyand, and Jason from Housekeeping. Very much looking forward to my next visit at this amazing property in Bar Harbor. Read less

Friendly staff. It was strange that you have to call the morning before to request your room cleaned or new towels or washcloths between 7-3. You set trash and used towels outside your room. Breakfast was hot and great every day we were there. It was a good stay overall.
