We were greeted by very helpful front desk people which continued throughout our viait. The room was very nice and comfortable. A good breakfast was served. The location was ideal, allowing us to walk to the harbor.

Me and wife stayed one night at this wonderful hotel. The room was spacious and comfortable. Because we went in May, the room was affordable and worth every penny. The continental breakfast was pretty decent as well.

The hotel is always very clean and the staff very friendly and helpful. The rooms are nice and being right in downtown means you can walk to all the local restaurants and shops. We've stayed there twice, once with kids, once without and both visits were great.

With 54yrs of total air crew experience my wife an I can very much recommend this hotel. Very clean. Comfortable mattress, pillows and towels. Helpful staff. Nice continental breakfast. The best part is the location. On Main St. but just outside of town center away from the noise. Only a 5 to 10 min walk to the harbor and ocean... More

We stayed there mid week for an overnight. The place was spotless. New carpets, paint and mattress added to the enjoyable experience. The front desk folks were super friendly. Comp. breakfast was perfect. Spot on and would stay there again. If you are looking for clean and comfortable this is your place- Stacy-Brunswick

I stayed here the first week of April. The Night clerk was super friendly and welcomed us in as it was late and we had been on the road from Princeton for several hours.

We stayed at the Bar Harbor Grand for two days in October while traveling the coast of Maine for our honeymoon. The hotel was clean, reasonably comfortable, and conveniently located in town.
