Had an amazing stay at the Best Western Acadia Inn & would highly recommend it! First, the location is very convenient. We liked that it was out of the Bar Harbor town so it was not chaotic, yet everything in the park and nearby was still super accessible and an easy drive to everywhere we wanted to go.

Had an amazing stay at the Best Western Acadia Inn & would highly recommend it! First, the location is very convenient. We liked that it was out of the Bar Harbor town so it was not chaotic, yet everything in the park and nearby was still super accessible and an easy drive to everywhere we wanted to go. Also some amazing lobster places right next door! Next, the service was amazing! All the staff were so welcoming and helpful. In particular I want to give a big thanks to Peggy Sue, our travel got impacted by a flight cancellation and she was so patient and helpful during the process and a bright spot in a stressful situation. Next are the rooms. It is bungalow style and so convenient since you can drive up and park right in front of your door. The rooms themselves exceeded our expectations. They were specious, very clean, and pretty modern. We had such a comfortable stay. The best western was great value & I can't recommend it enough! Read less

Great motel style facility where we parked outside our door. That was nice. The room was nice, not overly large but comfortable for 3 of us. The breakfast in a separate house was one of the best selections and friendliest staff ever. Easy access to the highway going north, or south to Acadia and Bar Harbor.

I had a review but it was too harsh so I am starting again. I did not enjoy my stay as I had issues the with one level drive up to the door motel look and the dark rooms and the awful barn door on the bathroom. I could reach my hands out all around the barn door as it does not close so there is no bathroom privacy at all. The positives: the… Read more
I had a review but it was too harsh so I am starting again. I did not enjoy my stay as I had issues the with one level drive up to the door motel look and the dark rooms and the awful barn door on the bathroom. I could reach my hands out all around the barn door as it does not close so there is no bathroom privacy at all. The positives: the pool was heated to 82 even though it was a cold day and kids seem to be enjoying it. It is close to the entrance of the national park. They tried hard to have a nice breakfast ready to go and the staff people worked super hard keeping it replenished. The front desk lady was so nice and helpful. There is a fun outdoor bbq place next door. Read less

The hotel is not a fancy Best Western, but I guess it’s all about location, location, location. The staff was extremely polite and helpful. Will return to this hotel in the future.

If you are coming to explore Acadia National Park, this is a nice affordable hotel. It is an easy drive to the park. It is about 5 miles from the Bar Harbor downtown. It an old style motel where you park right in front of your room. It has been nicely updated. They have an outdoor pool that is heated. The breakfast is typical. It was a bit crowded in terms of room to move around in the breakfast building. I liked that there was outdoor seating next to the breakfast building. The location is along the road but not too close. There is a lobster pound within walking distance that we really liked. If visiting again I would stay here. Read less
