Fantastic location for Bar Harbor and Arcadia national park trips. We stayed for 4 nights on the top floor and had an amazing view of the harbor. Room was clean, breakfast was good, and service was great. There is also a free bus that takes you to and from Bar Harbor which added to how much we enjoyed our stay. Will definitely be back! read more

Atlantic Eyrie Lodge - Balcony view - Hotels Near Me - Bar Harbor, Maine

Customer service at front desk is the worst I have ever had at a hotel that charges these prices. Room was nothing to brag about either. For a king executive suit the bathroom was more like something I would find in a motel 6. Front desk clerks never answer phone , if you want to book bus tour call bus company direct. The breakfast was average , but people working that area were the nicest employees there. I give them 2 stars because of them. Oh door ways have 2 1/2 inch lips so it make luggage cart hard to use. read more

Basic, motel-style property built in 1986. Awesome views from upper floors. Most rooms have balconies overlooking Frenchmen Bay except for the three mountainview rooms on the third floor. We had a 2 queen room on the third floor which was clean and served its purpose. The continental breakfast was added bonus as was the afternoon cookies in the lobby. There is an outdoor pool and a small exercise room. The Island Explorer bus frequently stops at this hotel as well as at the adjacent Hampton Inn. We enjoyed watching the wildlife around the property, such as deer, turkeys, and chipmunk (or baby squirrel). My only complaints/suggestions are to replace the outdoor carpet, as it is starting to show signs of wear and tear, and to try to have a better variety of breakfast items. Also, there is dead end that we (and several other people) tried to go down when first arriving at the property. Perhaps a do not enter sign would prevent this. Otherwise I enjoyed staying here and found it to be convenient to Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park. read more

It was my second time staying here and I'd recommend considering staying here if you're visiting Bar Harbor! Both times I stayed in a suite style that has a bedroom, living room, and kitchen. First time I was on an upper floor/not pet friendly. Second time I was in the ground floor suite that is pet friendly. The lodge is only a couple minutes drive away from Bar Harbor downtown, and it's walkable too -- I think about 20-30 minutes. This lodge is pet friendly, so you can bring your dog along for hikes. Both times I've stayed here I got the view looking out into the ocean--very beautiful especially to wake up to in the morning! Front desk staff is friendly and efficient. There is no room service here, but I don't mind that because I typically opt out of that anyway. The rooms were clean; no complaints on that front. I felt comfortable using the beds, couch, bathrooms etc. The complimentary continental breakfast is good! Definitely convenient to have this option before heading out for the day whether for hikes, beach, or shopping downtown. It was so relaxing to have breakfast on the patio with a nice view of the ocean. I wish there were waffles and/or pancakes (there was a big jug of maple syrup in the condiments section but no pancakes or waffles around). Otherwise, many options for satisfy different cravings -- bagels, muffins, eggs, bacon/sausage (alternates each day), cereal, English muffins, yogurt, fruit cups, coffee, milk, tea, apples, orange juice, cranberry juice, water, apple juice, peanut butter, cream cheese, jams--I think I just recited the entire menu! I enjoyed the breakfast each day during our 3 night stay. Was a bit bummer though that the pool was not yet open for the season during our Memorial Day weekend stay. Not a deal breaker since there are beaches nearby but having the convenience of a pool would've been cherry on top. read more

Don't come here expecting the 4 seasons. It's a motel at best but there are some frills that come with it that make it very pleasant. First of all, the view, if you manage to get a room from the water view side is SPECTACULAR. You just get a gorgeous view of the bay. The rooms are clean enough and they all have balconies so perfect for an afternoon coffee/tea/soda break. I found the staff to be very friendly except for this one older lady who sits in the back and just gives everyone the mean eye. Perhaps she treats people of non-caucasian ethnicities, OR younger people differently? I didn't really see her give the same stink eye to older white people who were in line ahead of me. Didn't matter, she was a fright for the eye but the front staff whom we had to deal with were ALWAYS pleasant and accommodating. The nice thing about the lounge/front desk area is that there is always coffee and tea and if you get it before 4pm, cookies! The snickerdoodles seem to get picked up the quickest. The cleaning staff were pleasant enough. We only had a single cleaning during our 5 day visit and it was fine. The daily breakfast is one of the best parts of this lodge. You get a hot continental that always has eggs and then some sort of meat like bacon or sausage and a grain staple like pancakes or pancake dunkers. They have fruit and yogurt cups up for grabs. You can get cereal, granola, coffee, tea, juice, milk on your own and they always have a nice selection of small pastries like muffins, croissants, and bagels. I really have to give the kitchen staff credit, they work SO HARD. Like, literally way harder than what I expect they are being paid at a place like this. They are constantly wiping things down, refilling the buffet and stocking up the packaged options. They are answering questions from staff, helping them get utensils, helping them clear tables and cleaning the floors. I truly wish I had workers in my job site that worked as hard as they do. Seriously big props for an impressive group! Finally, you really can't beat the distance. It is a really short drive into Bar Harbor and to Acadia as well as to multiple shops. For the price, for the view, for the breakfast, it was well worth it. Cons: one extremely slow elevator and whether you use the stairs or the elevator, you may still have a bit of a trek to your room as the building is more horizontal than vertical. Also, you literally have to ask for new towels and coffee and tea, every day. Yikes, It gets to be a bit of a pain. At least, if you ask for more up front because you say you will be staying for x # of days, usually I have seen that they will just grab a bunch for you. The mean old lady as noted above. Despite those cons, I would absolutely stay here again. Just be wary of coming back late. While you will find parking, you'll have to park further away in their large lot. Not a big deal, just adds 3 minutes walking time. read more

This is a beautiful hotel which is perched on a hill overlooking the harbor, and approximately a 1 mile (or a 30 minute walk) from the main downtown area. The water views are gorgeous and in my opinion, it is worth it to pay a little bit of extra money for a harbor view room. Even if you don't book a water view room, you can enjoy gorgeous views of the water from the guest patio, which is accessible from the check in lounge, as well as the pool area. There is a free hotel shuttle that takes guests to and from downtown, but during September when I was here, the shuttle was very full at all times, so we preferred to drive our own car into downtown. I was worried about the parking situation at first, but had no trouble finding paid parking (approx $2 an hour) within a 4-5 block radius of the main downtown area each time. I would probably not recommend walking to the downtown area from the hotel as there is a relatively steep uphill climb on the way back, and the walking path there isn't super populated over several stretches. read more

If you are looking for a mid-range hotel in Bar Harbor, this place is a solid option. The room was clean, quiet and bright, but sparsely furnished. The view from our deck was wonderful. I must say the heated salt water pool was a nice touch and a big hit with my daughter. The complimentary breakfast was decent and the price of the room was better than other comparable hotels. read more

terrible, stink the room. I spent 4 days 3 nights and stay in the stinky room . Ill never stay in this place anymore. read more

Driving up, it looks very dated, but our overall experience was far better than our first impression. The view from our room was absolutely incredible. A package of coffee was opened when we got there, but other than that the room was very clean. We were there in the fall, so we were too late to use the pool but it looked nice. It was only a short drive into town or into Acadia. As we were there during covid, they offered a packaged breakfast which included a lot more than we were expecting- granola bars, juice, yogurt, muffins, fruit, etc. I would stay here again if I'm in the area. read more

Three stars just due to location. Good (or not bad aspects) - convenient to downtown Bar Harbor if you use the Island Explorer bus, breakfast ok OKish (I think they were powdered eggs) and was pretty clean when we checked in. Things that were questionable - I can understand no housekeeping if you are staying someplace for two days, but when you stay there for 6 nights at over $320.00 a night and no housekeeping at all? They blamed lack of people due to COVID recovery, but noted that every restaurant we visited had more than sufficient staff available. The place is seriously dated and in some ways falling apart. The door to our bathroom would not close unless you forced it. Now, it you don't mind going to the desk everyday for things like toilet paper, coffee, towels, soap, shampoo and conditioner and then get the "stink eye" like you are using too much - this is the place for you. read more

Loved this hotel!! Reasonably priced, clean, king sized bed was comfortable and the VIEW was amazing!! Breakfast buffet has scrambled eggs, bacon, French toast and potato tots, muffins were delish, cold cereal, juices and good coffee read more

Do NOT stay here if WIFI is important to you. Great views from nearly every room. Nice pool. Rooms are older but updated enough. Too bad I woudl have give 4 stars but the internet totally sucks the signal so weak on the 3rd floor room 313 I could not work or get online at all to even to check personal emails. Verizon signal saved me but I would not stay here again. This is a deal breaker in todays world they should have good WIFI in every room. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. DO NOT BOOK HERE. The customer service is appalling. Staff is rude and the manager will not get back to you if you have any questions or concerns regarding your booking. I've never experienced anything like this anywhere else. read more

It took me a while to find a hotel in bar harbor that wasn't $600/night that looked okay. The Atlantic Eyrie Lodge was the perfect place for us. The view from our room was beautiful! We enjoyed the morning breakfast each morning. The bed was comfortable and the shower had good pressure. This wasn't the fanciest of places to stay, but it was everything we needed! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We didn't get to use the heated salt water pool, unfortunately. The location is great too! It's not in downtown bar harbor, but a 5 minute drive will get you there! I recommend this hotel to anyone looking for an affordable place to stay in bar harbor! read more

Stayed here for a weekend while COVID restrictions were still in place. Free shuttle to town is not running until further notice but we walked down every night...very nice walk. Awesome views from the ocean side of the hotel. They offer grab and go breakfast instead of continental and I appreciate the effort but I wouldn't bank on filling up on it before a hike. Definitely want to stay here again! read more

Really enjoying our stay here at the lodge. The rooms are newly renovated and just feel and look very clean. I think that's one of the most comforting things being away from home. The view from our room is amazing- view of mountains and the bay. I hear some rooms are dog friendly which is sweet and everyone I've spoken to thus far has been super welcoming and helpful. Your typical continental breakfast but the bagels and cream cheese are so so good. An outdoor pool. I didn't have the luxury of the shuttle service being here pre-season and wish we would have as we ran into car troubles. It's super close to downtown Bar Harbor and is a $5 Uber ride away and about a 6 minute ride. Overall I'd recommend this place to people visiting the area, it was very affordable and the rooms were very nice. read more

The Eyrie is a great home base to explore the Acadia - Bar Harbor area. Nice value and location and I would recommend to any friends visiting. It is located about a mile outside of the Bar Harbor Pier and there is a shuttle that picks up right out front of the hotel and drops you in the center of all the action. The whole property looks like it was recently renovated and there are many nice touches. Really enjoyed the pool and the postcard view of the bay from the balcony. read more

LOVED this hotel when we visited Acadia for 3 days!! I was SOO happy we decided to spend a little extra money as opposed to staying cheaper further outside of Bar Harbor. While it is not in "downtown" Bar Harbor... it was a perfect location and you could absolutely walk there if you are up for it! It had amazing park access and the views were AMAZING!!! Even on the first floor you could see the entire bay which was an unexpected surprise! Pool was very nice, but I do wish they had a hot tub! The rooms were nice and clean and only slightly outdated (parts). I was impressed they put sinks outside of the bathroom so there was more space since the sinks in the bathroom were super small (the bathroom itself is very small but it isnt a big deal to me). Loved that they had a mini fridge and balconies. Beds were comfortable so no complaints there. The woman working nights when we were there was so nice and helpful! They were giving little breakfast bags since we visited during the pandemic. I thought it was very nice and thoughtful (although I was not impressed but I am also picky haha). We decided to stay one extra night and I was so happy they were able to accomodate us! They actually moved all of our luggage to the new room which I thought was SOO nice. The view from our room on the 4th floor for that last night was absolutely beautiful. Only complaint of being up that high is the elevator seemed to be old so felt a little sketchy haha. Overall I would 100% stay here again!!! Amazing place, spacious rooms, beautiful views and great location!!! read more

great location to acadia and free shuttle service to bar harbor ..hot breakfast included and was perfect to start a day hiking in acadia . Room was clean , spacious and had a beautiful view !!! nice balcony to sit and relax on .... the only complaint was front desk person was not very friendly ..first time to bar harbor and it was our 25th wedding anniversary.. i think if they could be more enthusiastic and give some tips for being in area first time would be nice . read more

What a find! Spectacular view from our balcony. Clean comfortable room. Decent complimentary breakfast with great warm muffins. Friendly staff. Convenient to town and the main roads. Acadia entrance is a 5 minute drive. read more

Forewarning: i didn't actually end up staying here however the experience I had at the front desk makes me recommend this establishment to everyone. I booked the wrong night! Ugh! An unfortunate mistake and the hotel was sold out when we arrived. Instead of turning us away, Don at the front desk exhausted all resources to find us a room at a nearby hotel. He was so courteous, and accommodating! He helped rectify an otherwise stressful situation and when we return to Bar Harbor it will be the first place we look into staying due to this experience. Thank you Don for allowing us to still enjoy Bar Harbor for a night! read more

Love this place! Besides the fact that the staff reminds me of my grandparents (this is a plus), the location is amazing! I can't rave enough about this place....so imma give you a list of why this place is bomb.com 1. When you check in the elderly gentlemen/ladies at the front desk welcome you with smiles and maps all ready for your trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia. They show you how to get around, the best routes to use and a lot of tips for your entire stay. 2. The free shuttle bus in Bar Harbor stops every 15min right outside the lobby and takes you directly to center of town...which is like 5min drive away. 3. The view is spectacular! Although the hotel is about an 8 min drive to Cadillac mountain, you can set your alarm and open your blinds to see the most gorgeous sunrise all from the comforts of your bed or balcony! 4. The rooms are massive! 5. Everyone is so friendly...people are apologetic and they gave us no issues for borrowing an umbrella! 6. Free breakfast comes with fruit, biscuits, bagels, muffins, eggs, cereal, etc. It's open from 7-10am but unlike most places, the food was still out at 10am! I've been to places that started cleaning up at around 9:45am... 7. The pool overlooks Frenchmen Bay - perf for a dip right as the sun sets. 8. Only about a 5-10min drive to entrance of Acadia National Park 9. They provide you conditioner as well as all the other toiletries! Seriously as a girl I rarely find hotels that provide you with conditioner..... 10. There were two sinks in our room. One in the bathroom and one outside. Perfect if you have multiple people!! Definitely consider staying here...you won't regret it! read more

Wonderful staff who were friendly the minute which I called them for reservations. I really like the "feel" of this place -- not corporate or snooty -- feels family run and was very personable -- especially considering this was a last minute reservation. Great bargain for the value. Housekeeping and cleanliness were not an issue, the room was very clean and included some nice soaps. I had an ocean-view room which was outstanding during the Summer. WiFi was fine, a little slow at times but was accommodating (who wants to be online all day long while at Acadia?) It is a tiny bit difficult to find which I would recommend GPS (had no problem) or a good map -- as it is off Eden and a few quick turns off the road it was found. Very recommended! I love this place and will hopefully return. read more

The place is pricey compared to other hotels in the Bar Harbor area but... 1. There is a balcony, where you can enjoy views of Frenchman's bay. You get a great view of the sunrise right off your balcony. 2. Staff is great 3. 24 hour check-in, while many hotels in Bar Harbor require check-in prior to 10pm. read more

This place is a real gem, and deserves 5 stars, but its going to get only 4 because the Internet is real bad. It ticks a lot of boxes, with amazing views, a great pool, nice breakfast and spacious room. The folks there are very friendly and keep the place real good.The place is close to downtown as well as the National park, and they have shuttles that run too, great for folks who use public transport. Coming back to the issue of the Internet, this is my second visit here one in 2015 and the other in 2018 and nothing has changed in terms of the speed. The speeds are good in the lobby but back in the room webpages barely open. It does get better at times, but overall not good. I located the wireless repeaters which were on every floor but they seemed to be pointed towards the parking lot rather than the rooms. I hope that someone takes note of this and improves the experience. read more

Great place. Clean, friendly staff and perfect location with great views from our room. Excellent prices too!

Second year we've stayed here and I'm a happy customer again. First, they allow dogs. There's a $35 extra fee for bringing a canine companion. But the dog gets a little welcome package with cookies and care products so that's sweet. There's ample grounds and roads to walk pets, too. But be careful- the grounds do get professionally treated for pests and I didn't see the one tiny yellow flag saying it had just been treated with pesticide until well after we had walked the grounds. The rooms are large, clean and simple Maine decor ...functional and comfortable. The view from the room balcony is spectacular. All amenities in room worked fine. Noise level is acceptable even when busses idled outside our door. It's very quiet at night and safe to leave your slider door open for the incredible balsam scented clean air. The free morning breakfast is quite good....if you want healthier choices than sweets, they have boiled eggs, yogurt, granola and wheat toast. If you decline room service as I typically do every other day, they still leave you a bag of fresh linens and refills of everything outside your door at night. Staff is super friendly and helpful with local knowledge. The heated pool was too cold for me, but others enjoyed swimming with goose flesh. Lol. Parking is ample but spaces closest to the rooms fill fast. I highly recommend this lodge for casual comfort in a beautiful setting. read more

The Atlantic Eyrie Lodge has the most amazing vistas with comfortable rooms and a heated pool. The breakfast was good, nothing to write home about, but if you come for the breakfast??? The lodge was central to most locations, especially Acadia National Park. There is a shuttle, but check the dates it runs. read more

It is hard to find a pet friendly place in Bar Harbor but the Atlantic Eyrie Lodge is probably your best bet. They charge a $35 pet fee which seems steep to me (they have tile floors so easy for cleaning up any fur). The view here is stunning and every room has a balcony which is a big plus. There is a pool as well but I did not get a chance to check it out. The room is a bit dated but the beds are comfortable. I liked room 101 because it was an end room. Parking is a bit tight so try and arrive early to claim a space. There is a shuttle bus that will take you to the village of Bar Harbor which is handy. There is a basic breakfast included in the room rate (around $165 in the summer) and cereal, muffins, bagels, fruit, yogurt, and french toast are available. I would stay here again but the big minus of this place is the REALLY SLOW INTERNET. read more

It may not be fancy but its homey and I liked it. We stayed on the fourth floor so we had a great view of the bay (when it could be seen since the weather was less than ideal during our stay). There's a free bus that stops here frequently if you would like to go into town but don't have a car or don't feel like driving and finding parking. They also have laundry facilities - be warned, however, they are outside and rather old. The free breakfast was very limited but ok. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. The only reason this place didn't get 5 stars is because they don't know how to properly hook up the wifi and there was NO signal at all in our room so I couldn't use my iPad during our stay which sucked. Maybe people on lower floors wouldn't have any problem but then you wouldn't get the cool view, so I guess you have to weigh the pros and cons. Stayed: September 29 - October 1 read more

Beautiful views from the patio of the rooms! The rooms are very spacious, but otherwise average and the breakfast was subpar.

On my fourth and final night at this lodge, and I'll be leaving tomorrow as a very satisfied customer. The staff here is friendly and accommodating, and the rooms are comfy enough for recovering from a day of hiking or other activities in the area. They are pretty dog-friendly here, even providing homemade organic treats when we checked in. The outdoor pool with salt water makes for a refreshing end of the day, and the continental breakfast got the job done for sure. If you're a walker (not the living dead kind), you won't mind the simple mile-walk to get into town, or they have a shuttle running every half hour. While there are certainly some nicer spots in town, you are likely going to pay quite a bit more. The Atlantic Eyrie was terrific for the money and somewhat proximity to town. read more

Dog friendly. Owner or manager is an older man who is so so kind. Loves the dogs that stay on the property and greets them all with a little treat. Dog friendly rooms are tile flooring which is great in general when staying in a hotel. Rooms are a bit outdated but has everything needed for a wonderful vacation and the comfiest beds! Balcony views are beautiful. Prices are amazing especially during the off season. Free continental breakfast every morning and coffee always available! Highly recommend! Short drive to town and Acadia Nat'l Park! read more

Stayed here for our weekend trip to Maine. Felt semi-special for a second because our room had a balcony but it turns out every room has one. Scoreee Loved it though. I'm not a fan of homey, inn-like places but this one was well kept, clean, and had none of that dingy, stale air most inns do. Plus the front desk staff were so nice, the elderly grandparents kind. Onto the rooms. Two sinks? THANK YOU. I definitely needed that. Not to mention our room was massive. And a balcony with carpeted floors with a stunning view of Frenchman's Bay? I can die happily. They also have an outdoor pool that goes only 6 feet deep which I didn't use. Their backyard is also really nice. It reminded me of a summer home in the Hamptons. We even saw a couple of deer come into our area. Overall, we loved it and were happy with our choice. Glad we stayed here over all the other fancy schmancy looking inns near us. read more
