We are here for two nights exploring the Park and Maine coast. We are in the Willows Mansion, room 831. The Willows is a separate, large, period style old mansion apparently from the gilded age, with a handful of rooms and suites. President Taft stayed here back in the day. Ours is the only suite on the third floor which is the top floor. Views of the harbor are fabulous. The place has an ideal location. There is plenty of room in our suite, and two bathrooms. There is a good sized outdoor patio off the sitting room. Very private. Tall folk be mindful of the low bridge as you go up the last steps from the hallway to the room I bumped my head a few times. Meals are in the main hotel building about 20 steps from the Willows. There is no room service but you can order and pick up. The heat was not working and maintenance was called 3 times. They came promptly and a very accommodating fellow seemed to finally figure it out and got it to work. The outside temps were abnormally low the first night, in the 40s - it was late June. The heat actually worked during the second day. We did not call our friendly maintenance man again. The temps rose into the 60's on our second day and the room was comfortable thereafter I had a meal in the Bistro Bar in the main hotel building. It is a pocket sized bar with about ten small tables I ate at the bar. Fish and chips were fine and the service was fine. I took a bowl of lobster stew back to the room for my wife. She liked it. We slept well both nights. Furnishings are a bit time-worn but comfortable. Breakfast is available in the main hotel. Prepared breakfast sandwiches and pastries are on offer. It is a help yourself set up. Nothing special. Coffee is available 24/7 in the lobby. The property itself is beautiful and, but for the heating issues, we liked where we were in the Willows. The views from our room can't be beat as we saw a gorgeous sunset the second night. We enjoyed the patio facing Frenchman Bay on our last morning. The town center of Bar Harbor is a 25 minute walk down Eden Street, (Route 3), from the property. I did a walk into town for a meal it was a pleasant 30 minute walk. We say ambiance "a", service "c", food "c", value "c" While we were pleased with our two night stay and we would stay here again in #831, we will likely try a different place when back in Bar Harbor.

A real treat to stay here and got a room with a view. The stay came with complimentary breakfast, in a dining area that felt better than a bed and breakfast. The room was spacious and very comfortable. Walking to the balcony and back into the room really sets in stone the fact that you're on vacation. Excursion to the open water is just a short walk away. We can see a beautifully decorated outdoor gazebo from our balcony, I bet people have beautiful weddings here. During our stay the on site restaurants were closed, so we had to walk across the street to have dinner. Which was fine but if the on site restaurants had been open, I'd probably would give 5 stars.
I've been told that I'm a bit of a knit picker when it comes to hotels. I'm big on cleanliness and good service. That's why it's a big deal for me to say that this has been THE BEST hotel stay I've had in a long time. Everything was exceptional. There isn't one thing that I can think of that could have been better or improved. Check in was seamless and the staff member checking me in was so kind. She explained everything that the grounds had to offer and made local recommendations. The room was lovely! I was so happy to walk in and throw open the balcony door to enjoy the Frenchman Bay view. The patio furniture was a perfect place for me to enjoy the sunset. Everything was clean and well stocked and the bed was really comfy. The on-site breakfast offerings were also excellent. Due to covid, the dine in area was closed but their contingency plan was great. Menus are provided the evening before and you can check off which items you'd like and when in the morning you'd like it to be available. They'll have it ready for pickup! I was thrilled to enjoy breakfast on the room balcony anyhow. Everything else was just as perfect as the aforementioned. The on-site restaurant is great and the gift shop has cute knickknacks as well. I am actually loath to leave this place and wish I didn't have to! I could stay a month and it still wouldn't be enough. The hotel is a peaceful gem tucked away from the bustling downtown area but still a hop skip and a jump away! Five minute drive to downtown and Acadia National Park. What more could you need or ask for?!
We had a 3 night vacation stay here on our road trip. Everything was nice. The hotel room was clean and comfortable, large walk-in shower, granite sink, mini fridge, microwave, single serve coffee maker, flat screen, sitting area on the balcony overlooking the bay. It looks like each floor is equipped with an ice machine and there are washer and dryers available to rent. There is also a free breakfast, restaurant, heated indoor pool, jacuzzi, and outdoor pool, and a small playground(swing set) out front. There is a little picnic area by the water where my kids combed through some of the rocks and found a few pieces of sea glass. It's located in a convenient spot close to restaurants downtown and not far from the National Park. I do recommend this hotel and would stay here again.
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! A friend and I came late November and enjoy the quiet of the off season. Check in was a breeze, we stayed in the main building and had a room with a beautiful view. The room was clean and the beds extremely comfortable. The main selling point for me was the continental breakfast that was, to my surprise, made to order and came w a menu. Best breakfast I had while in town, I highly recommend the French toast w local blueberry syrup. I have already contacted family to plan a return trip in the springs.
Lovely resort. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others. Morning breakfast was included and you can sit outside watching the water. There are some family planned activities too. We chose a water view room and watched the sunrise from our room. The shuttle stops here which was great to get us into town.
This place is absolutely beautiful. Great location, clean, friendly staff, beautiful views. When we checked out we got two or three minutes down the road and they called that I had left my bracelet in the room. Cleopatra found it and had them call us right away. Great customer service.
Second time staying here in the top floor rooms overlooking the bay from the main building. The view from this hotel can't be beat! The rooms are cozy and well equipped, staff super friendly and helpful, and the bistro is surprisingly good! Only downside is the walls are pretty thin, so bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper.
My bf and I stayed here this past weekend and thought this hotel was amazing! The balcony view is absolutely beautiful, service was great, and the complimentary breakfast was outstanding! The staff working breakfast were all so friendly and one lady in particular was so sweet and really loved her job. The food was delicious and we always looked forward to the breakfast to start off our hike at Acadia. Prior to our stay, we thought the location would be a hassle because it's not really walking distance to all the good/popular restaurants, but it was not bad whatsoever! 3-5min drive and since we visited during off season, parking was extremely easy. We sat by the bar at Bistro one night and the bartender was so friendly. Did not try any of the food, but it all smelled amazing. Cannot wait to come back!
The staff can make for such a great experience - from the after hours front staff, house keeping to the bartenders - all were amazing. The room was very clean and up to date. The view of the bay from the room was top notch. Bathroom was immaculately clean. Plenty of parking. Due to Covid breakfast was take out only, this wasn't a bother and expected in these times. The hotel restaurant is just 'meh' . Food and selections are mediocre but the staff is very nice. They should pipe in some music or turn on the TV at least - too quiet - not very inviting. No worries - I didn't stay here because of the restaurant.
We stayed at the Atlantic Oceanside Hotel for a few nights during the fall, and it was absolutely perfect! We chose an Oceanside room, which had a private balcony and stunning views. We loved having our breakfast on the balcony in the morning- it was so peaceful! In terms of COVID safety, we were very pleased. The hotel allowed us to pick up breakfast (all you can eat) and bring it back to the room, which worked really well. The room also felt very clean. It was such a wonderful stay, and I'm sure we'll be back soon!

Went to a conference in Sept 2025. We stayed in the Portside section. Beautiful views of the ocean from our room. We had a handicap accessible room (we didn't need it) but it was so tastefully done you didn't know it. Clean clean clean. Breakfast bar was top rate. We had lunch thru our conference ordered ahead for the whole week. Day 1 was less than par, an hour late and cold. Staff indicated they were working thru some new systems. Day two lunch was improved. Hoping Day 3 will be even better. I hope to come back again. read more

We came into town for our daughters wedding in Acadia National Park. We had 3 consecutive rooms in the Portside another family members was also in Portside and some were in Oceanside building. From check in to check out the experience was excellent. The staff was always polite and accommodating. We had the continental breakfast one day was was convenient and easy to walk to. The steak house being across the streak was also a plus and able to walk to (little hilly). My adult children utilized the pool and hot tub area which was clean and well kept. The main building was under construction but didn't affect out stay at all. Our rooms we all very clean, had dorm size fridges and microwaves. We had some small children above us who like to get up early and ran around a lot (grease the slider door on the second floor) but rooms on the sides you couldn't hear anything. The bathroom was very spacious and clean. There is plenty of parking just know in the portside and oceanside building (waterside) you have to walk down stairs to gain access to your room. My suitcase was 100lbs so that was interesting ..lol. Our stay was perfect and we'll definitely be back! read more

Came in march of 2023, while the hotel was in construction. However, we had an amazing stay. The view was beautiful and the bistro was delicious. The complimentary breakfast took our order of freshly made French toast and a breakfast sandwich. Only minutes from many beautiful hiking spots! Can't wait to see once it's fully renovated! read more

We stayed here from last week of March to first week of April, the location is pretty great since the Bar Harbor town is just like a 3 minutes drive away and just also nearby to some of the tourist destinations. A private balcony with a nice view makes it more stunning. I also want to mention how I like the choice of scent of the eucalyptus in the bathroom amenities its really relaxing. Breakfast is great served by friendly servers. read more

This is one of the many resorts and hotels in the Bar Harbor area. We stayed here for a week . There are three separate buildings and our room had a balcony overlooking Frenchman's Bay. Everything was clean and good hotel quality. There is a moderately sized pool that we swam in one day, and every morning breakfast buffet is included! The staff is helpful. On night we ordered takeout from the restaurant. Also, the local free bus into town stops right at the hotel. Harbor tour leaves from the dock located here as well. We made use of it a lot! No complaints at all and would stay here again. read more

Best location, excellent view, discount on cruise, bad wifi and okay breakfast. My family enjoyed the view and also the proximity to the acadia national park. You got what you paid for. For sure, I will recommend this hotel, they also offer a discount for the nature cruises. But make sure that you don't have plans to use their wifi, it was awful read more
