Pros: Comfy beds, clean room. Cons: We had an accessible room as I need grab bars in the bathroom. But the shower cube was not usable at all. Hand-held shower did not work, but later husband found that if you rotated the handle a full 4 times, the water came out of the unit. Who knew? You have to sit to shower as no room to stand and… Read more
Pros: Comfy beds, clean room. Cons: We had an accessible room as I need grab bars in the bathroom. But the shower cube was not usable at all. Hand-held shower did not work, but later husband found that if you rotated the handle a full 4 times, the water came out of the unit. Who knew? You have to sit to shower as no room to stand and wash. Dreadful stench coming from the sink drain. At first we thought it was the water as you only smelled it when the water was running. Room also smelled stale and damp. Bathroom took 2 entire days to warm up enough to attempt to shower. It was freezing cold, even though we kept the door open all the time to get some heat in. Didn't work. Towels smelled stale and were very rough. Breakfast was meager at best. Maybe we came in at a time between replenishment, but what was available wasn't very pleasant. We were there for 4 nights , but after the first morning, didn't return for breakfast again. Plenty of electric outlets, but no surface near them to hold things needing charging. Except in the bathroom and that is not a good idea. One outlet on the one bedside table to share. The room was very pricey for what we got. Pretty sure it is pricey as it is close to the entrance to Acadia Park. Would not return. Read less

This Best Western is a great option when in Bar Harbor or to see Acadia. The staff couldn't have been nicer and Peggy Sue (front desk) was even willing to stay late for my late check in, if needed. (I'm glad that wasn't needed!) The room literally was spotless. The bathroom was spotless and everything shined. If you are looking for a value… Read more

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were very good. My first morning at breakfast, I asked if they had any instant oatmeal. Odette told me she would make me some oatmeal, I told her not to bother. She brought me a bowl of oatmeal that did not taste instant. Peggy Sue was at the desk when we checked in. She was very friendly and… Read more

She was very friendly and helpful. The next 2 mornings, Nancy was in the kitchen. Everything was laid out perfectly and tasted delicious. She was very friendly and shared some places in the area that we might want to visit. She was right. Nancy wanted to know what else she could do for us. Our stay was really fun and comfortable. We loved staying at the Best Western. We will look for them as we travel. Read less

Room was spotless, the fixtures, tub and even the base of the toilet was shining! This place is a hidden gem. Peggy Sue made us feel like family, she was eager to make sure we had a great stay. Breakfast was also good, hot and plentiful. We will be back! 5 stars

Peggy Sue is the most kind and generous person! She loves what she does and it shows! There was a grab bag in our room that had all kinds of goodies in it and we enjoyed all of them. She is an asset to the Best Western Acadia Park Inn and made us feel like we were home.
