Our stay at this 2010 built Ellsworth/Bar Harbor Hampton was for just one night Thursday June 24…read morefor three people. Despite it being a weekday the bill was $343.35 as the tourist season had started. We had a rented a vehicle and the Bar Harbor Hampton was priced even higher than this one. We choose Hamptons because of the Hilton ownership oversight, although individually they are privately managed so quality will vary. We came from Minnesota an had just spent three nights at the Portland Downtown-Waterfront Hampton and were in Bar Harbor for a cruise and to check out Arcadia National Park. As it turns out we should have spent the three nights here and just one at the sketchy Portland Hampton. My girlfriend's daughter insists on separate beds for all of us. One great thing about Hamptons is that a rollaway bed added to a double queen room is not an issue, although the quality of the bed itself varies greatly by location. Here our requested rollaway was waiting for us with linens and pillows, and it was a decent one unlike the broken one we got in Portland that also didn't have a pillow or top sheet. My girlfriend actually commented on how nice the room was, a rare nod of approval as we are both a bit cynical. The thermostat had its own remote, the Hilton app actually worked on the TV if I remember right, there was an ice bucket and even a couple mini recycling bins. The view was just the local shopping mall, but that's not what we got the room for. One slight disappointment was being refused the token Hilton Silver Level membership benefit of free bottles of water on arrival. Maybe this isn't a 'select' Hampton. The workout room here was large and modern, unlike many Hampton workout rooms. The pool was also well kept. The normally no frills Hampton breakfast was way above par at this property. There was an abundance of choices and healthy options in bakery, hot and cold items, fresh fruit, toppings, and beverages. This included dairy free and gluten free options like Silk almond milk and Udi's gluten free muffins. See the image postings. This was an especially welcome sight after the sparse Portland Hampton breakfast bar of the previous three days. A surprising discovery I got on checking out the lobby after unpacking was the 'Iced Coffee Bar'. The receptionist told us they were the only Hampton to have one. It had a nice sign, coffee container, a dozen Monin syrups, creamer, ice bucket, cups, stir sticks, and napkins. See the image posting. My girlfriend and daughter planned to try it before we left early the next morning as I had understood from the receptionist it was available 24 hours. Unfortunately, it was taken down during breakfast. I'm not sure the girls even saw it. Other then missing out on the Iced Coffee Bar and not getting the token Hampton Silver Membership bottled water perk, this may have been our best Hampton stay of the dozen or so different Hampton properties we have tried. It should be the textbook model in management for other Hamptons to follow.

Location was perfect, 10/10. Close enough to Bar Harbor & Acadia without the traffic snarls, plus…read moreplenty of Lobster Pounds along the way in both nearby Trenton & the Park itself. There is a paved trail behind the property for walkers and joggers alike. The only issue you'll encounter is trying to make that left turn to head South into Acadia, because with the two way traffic it's almost impossible without heading into the bank parking lot across the street, and THEN turning right to head South. Quiet factor: 9.5/10 - Ok, so you might hear an occasional door closing too hard here or there but the rooms themselves are well insulated. Plus, pay no mind to the railroad tracks outside the window behind the property. There is a local tourist railroad that is nearby but does not traverse through here. I believe they were once part of the Maine Central Railroad that was part of a bustling lumber industry in the late 1800's and were also famously used to occasionally transport President FDR to a private residence in Bangor in the 1930s, but (this) is a spur of that line that isn't otherwise used. That said, there are plenty of No Trespassing signs on it. Staff: 10/10. Kudos to the breakfast team who kept the Inn's guests well fed. Offerings were delicious, and varied each day, and they are to be commended. The dining room seats about twenty guests comfortably, so time your AM meal accordingly. The biscuits and gravy were particularly good. Free Otis Spunkmeyer cookies at check in, too. Plus there is complimentary lemon water, ice cream, and soup from 5p-8p daily. Value: 9.5/10. The free breakfast is a plus to any traveler's budget and was a big factor in me booking here. Closer properties to MDI and in Bar Harbor proper are at least 50% more per night and will offer you larger crowds, and no complimentary anything. Believe me...I already looked. If you have kids, the breakfast is a huge savings. Plus the property is pet friendly. Shower pressure is average. While there is a grab bar, there are no anti slip coatings or mats in any of the tubs, so be careful getting in and out. Plus the vanity sink sits VERY low for some reason, so expect to be hunched over when doing your morning hygiene routine. In room safes and ironing boards are a nice convenience that worked just fine, too. The place has just enough parking, is close to a SuperCenter Walmart in case you forgot to pack anything, and there are nearby grocery stores (Shaws; Hannaford's) too. . Housekeeping is done every 3rd day unless requested otherwise. Bottom line: It's noticeably a little more $ per night than most other Comfort Inn's you may have stayed at, but you get what you pay for, esp. in such a picturesque & renown part of Maine. Would recommend and will return in the future. Cheers!

Sheryl at the front desk greeted us with enthusiasm and was so sweet, providng us with local recommendations and sightseeing tips in Bar Harbor. She even gave us some restaurants to avoid. Make sure you don't pack a lot of luggage when staying here. There are no elevators, only stairs to get to the second floor. We reserved a double queen suite, which was pretty roomy with a sofa, and a fridge and microwave. The room was slightly older, but pretty clean. My only pet peeve was that the shower drained water pretty slow and it felt like I was showering in a puddle of my soapy water. Continental breakfast is available at no extra charge. There are fresh fruits, yogurt, bread and pastry selections, juices and hot coffee/tea, cereal selections, and scrambled eggs and sausages. Parking is free and the Ramada is located near a grocery store, Walmart, LL Bean outlet, and the little downtown Ellsworth area.

The hotel says it's new, it's advertised as new all over the outside of the hotel, It's not. There were signs of age everywhere. Dated wallpapered, dim and low ceiling hallways.

You can tell that they tried to clean it but it's very clearly still dirty We found a dead cockroach on the floor (at least it was dead). On a positive note, our breakfast hostess was amazing! She was so nice and got everything and anything the kids wanted and even made jokes and was funny. She was awesome. This is the kind of stuff I want to know when I'm looking to stay somewhere.

My husband and I are born/bred Mainers, looking forward to celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary at the Inn. We read the policy and booked two evenings. However, on our way up, our car broke down and we had to head home, trauma in itself. I called right away to cancel and explain the circumstances to the owners and hoped to receive some other future booking there, rather than loose our cash. The unfortunate answer was no. They refused to make any refund or bend their policy in any way. My husband wrote a kindly email explaining our situation, once again, but never received a reply. We understand the need for policies and support that, but flexibility for certain unavoidable circumstances should, we believe, also be considered. Their lack of any empathy to our situation and uncouth, unpolished manners reflects very poor customer service and cancels any future wish to ever stay at the Blue Hill Inn. These innkeepers are clearly from away and do not, in any way, mirror REAL Maine hospitality! So, if you book there, you'll loose your money, if you have to suddenly cancel, even for an unexpected accident or God forbid a death!!
