We took a 2 night trip to Acadia National Park and were so pleased with our stay to the Island View Hotel Bar Harbor. It was a last minute decision and I was afraid we wouldn't find availability close by. I was also hesitant to book Island View as I read all available reviews and some from previous years were not positive. I will say without a doubt that we made an excellent choice. The hotel is definately dated and lacking frills of other places, but was just right for our stay. There was coffee in each unit and a convenient ice machine. The location is excellent with close proximity to the Park and restaurants. There's a nice view from the waterview rooms. King bed was very comfortable and unit was clean. Our first interaction with David in the office made us feel right at home. He was extremely plesant and helpful and has obviously made a big difference with his wonderful customer service. The other staff members were exceptionally friendly with a big shout out to Blake. I would definately stay here again without hesitation.

Exactly what I was looking for: very comfortable beds, quiet environment, fair and reasonable pricing, multiple places to charge electronics, gorgeous views, easy access to Acadia/Bar Harbor. Thank you for providing such a nice home base for my vacation!

For a simple motel charging nearly $299 for the first night and $409 for the second night, before approximately $60 in taxes, this was truly awful. First, nobody came to make the bed or provide us with dry towels after the first night, and given how humid the room was, this was a problem. Second, the end table light didn’t work - probably just a bad bulb, but because nobody made up the room, nobody saw the note I left to advise management of the problem so it could be fixed (and I note that there are large portions of the day when nobody is in the office). Third, the drain stopper barely allowed water to drain out of the sink. And finally, the Venetian blinds in the only window in the unit were completely inadequate for purposes of providing privacy or darkening the room, and this problem was exacerbated at night by the lights outside. All told, the room only had bare necessities, felt more like a $60/night motel, and it appears that management/ownership is not concerned about the comfort of its guests at all.

Smelled musty, AC/heater made it even worse. Mold in the shower. Toilet was clearly not cleaned. Trash not cleaned out, and trash and stains on the floor. So much potential for the property, but so poorly executed.

Loved the view from our room and that there were chairs to sit by the water. Not a fan of the fence, but can’t help that. Easy drive to and from Acadia NP and Bar Harbor. Rooms were clean, but boring. Needs some art or some other variation. Felt small, but was comfortable. Would have loved an extra blanket.

DO NOT STAY HERE This stay was HORRIBLE. I was notified at check in that there would be no room service/cleaning. The first night of our stay, we discovered that the room was filled with dozens of huge flies and found mouse poop on the bathroom floor. I checked out early because it was extremely uncomfortable to stay in our room and have been attempting to reach the hotel to get a refund to no avail. Avoid at all costs.

The backyard facing the river was very nice. We only stayed one night, but the walls are paper thin. We could hear the people next door like they were in bed with us.
