My husband and I have been going to Bar Harbor every Memorial and Labor Day weekend for 15 years, staying in various places. About 6 years ago we discovered the Aurora Inn, what a treasure! Perfect location, the rooms are small but cozy and amazingly clean. The locations can't be beat, just enough out of the way of the hustle... more

I returned to the Aurora Inn a second time in late March for some hiking in Acadia National Park. Aurora Inn is one of the few hotels open this time of the year. Their office is only open from 10am - 5pm daily, so unless you plan on arriving during these times, I'd recommend making an online reservation. I was... more

Just got back from 12 days in the New England area. Drove into Bar Harbor without a hotel reservation. Several of the hotels and B&B's were closed during the winter so it was slim pickins. After calling a few places with prices above $100/nt we drove by Aurora. At $63/nt including tax this was a gem. Rooms were a bit... more

When I booked my trip three months in advance, I was very disappointed to learn that my favorite Bar Harbor motel would be closed for the season. But when my friend and I arrived at the Aurora Inn, we were more than pleased. The room was huge and impeccably clean. The beds were extremely comfortable. The motel is located right... more

We arrrived in Bar Harbor at a very busy time and the Aurora was one of the first motels we passed. We didn't stop immediately, but drove through town to see if there were others. The Aurora is situated on the edge, but within walking distance, of the town and it was easy to leave the car and walk to... more

We stayed at the Aurora Inn on Sept 15th & 16th. I picked it because of the reasonable price and the reviews. We were greeted by Jerry who was very friendly and helpful. It is in a great location because you can walk to town and restaurants. I was not disappointed - would recommend it for people who are on... more

We stayed in the Aurora Inn for a few days in June. It is a nice, clean motel, but the interior is rather old. There is an internet connection in a neighboring motel and a washing machine, too. The service was rather anonymous. However, we were arriving late on the first night and they had left us an envelop with... more

This was just the place for us. When booking our room we spoke with Jerry the manager. His description of the rooms and location to the downtown area were accurate to the last detail. His personality was even better in person than on the phone. If you are looking for good clean comfortable rooms and great service, this is the... more

My boyfriend and I went for a long weekend in Bar Harbor, Maine. He has been there a handful of times when he was a child and loved it. I researched online to find a hotel close & convienent to the main strip in town. I found the Aurora Inn doing google searches for Bar Harbor. The rate was VERY... more
