Very clean and comfortable. Great in-town location with very convenient parking. Jerry Tibbetts the Host and Manager does a great job. The staff is nearby and attentive. The room rates are very reasonable. We plan on staying at the Aurora Inn when we return to Bar Harbor in the Fall.

On a one week trip to Maine and Massachusetts our first stop was Bar Harbor. Flying into Boston in the afternoon we were expecting a long drive. Since the office was only open til 9 PM we were not sure if we were going to make it in time. But Jerry, the manager, was going to leave the key for... More

Searched online for a place to stay in Bar Harbor during the last week of October. All the places I have stayed in the past were closed for the season. Turned out to be a lucky thing for me or I never would have found this wonderful treasure intown. The Aurora Inn caught my eye on the internet and I... More

Old style place but comfortable and clean. Near downtown so you can walk about. The manager was very nice and helpful in answering your questions. Old style but very nice. Good place to visit for a few days.

This is my third time back to the Aurora Inn and this was my longest stay there yet. The location can't be beat, walking distance to everything in Bar Harbor and a short drive to Acadia National Park (near Cadillac Mtn Entrance). Its cozy, very comfortable and clean. The staff are very nice. They have comfortable seating on the porch... More

This was our first trip to Maine and Aurora Inn was randomly chosen after deciding we wanted to escape the July Georgia heat for Fourth of July. Great location, clean, comfortable room and wonderful coffee every morning! Delightful front porch chairs on ground level just steps from car and nicely landscaped - breathtaking flowers up and down the entire street!... More

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights and got the package with the boat trip, the dinner and the 2 breakfasts. It was money well spent. The Margaret Todd Boat was awesome. We went on the sunset cruise. The dinner was very fancy and romantic at the Reading room. One of the best dinners i have ever had.... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Aurora Inn. We had a king room which was large, clean, and had an extremely comfortable bed. It was well within walking distance of all that the town of Bar Harbor has to offer, and very convenient to Acadia National Park. We will definately be staying there again.

We blindly chose the Aurora Inn for our first visit to Bar Harbor and Acadia NP and we really were not disappointed. The location was perfect for us and we appreciated the ease of parking and walking distance to everything that we wanted to do and see within Bar Harbor. We did no driving until we were ready to see... More

Our stay at the Aurora Inn was great and we would return. From our first phone conversation to check out, we were met with helpfulness and genuine friendliness. The location of the inn allowed us to park the car and walk the town. The entrance to Acadia is just minutes away which afforded us the opportunity to go daily. Information... More
