This is a standard motel property that has been well kept and updated. The double my husband and I shared was modest in size, but ample to accommodate us and our things for three days, with a small fridge, and sitting areas indoor and out. Walkability was important to us—especially since you pay for all parking in town and it is regularly enforced —so being a 10 minute walk to the Harbor and downtown area was great. Front desk staff were very helpful with tips, and office is open by keypad when it is not staffed.

Kim and Melissa were the kindest people to help us enjoy our stay during our time in Maine. The property is really nice and well kept but this motel in particular made you feel right at home in the center of bar harbor. Would absolutely recommend.
