Property History

The Honest Truth

Look, it isn’t a five-star resort, but for park access and Bar Harbor vibes it’s a solid bet. Clean rooms, dependable breakfast, friendly staff, and convenient pools. If you chase luxury, you’ll want something sleeker; if you chase value and location, this hits. Expect some noise in highway-facing rooms.

Who Should Skip This

Skip if you need pet-friendly policy or ultra-luxury, or if you crave a boutique hotel experience.

Booking Insider Tip

• Book six months in advance for peak season. • Direct booking via Hilton often secures room requests. • For quiet, request a back-building room away from the highway.

What Guests Say
