Pro Tips
Free on-site private parking with one space per room; extra vehicles must be parked on the street overnight. The building has no elevator, so request a first-floor room if stairs are a concern.

July is the busiest month; reserve months in advance through StayBarHarbor or major online travel sites. If you need direct help, call 207-801-8480.

The Honest Truth
This is not a resort. It is a renovated motel in a superb Bar Harbor spot with easy park access and clean, modern rooms. Free lobby coffee and snacks are a nice starter, and parking is hassle-free. If you need an elevator or want an ultra-luxe experience, this won’t be your match.
Who Should Skip This
Skip if you require an elevator, pet-friendly policy, or extreme quiet; otherwise you’ll enjoy central Bar Harbor value.
