First of all, let's get out of the way what the Bayview is not. It is not a 5 star luxury hotel with every amenity. But then again you are not paying $400/night either. AS long as you don't expect that, you will not be disappointed. Now lets talk about it's good points which are numerous. When you drive up... more

A clean place at a decent value, on the main road about a mile+ outside of town. It backs onto the bay, and the rooms have decent views of the water -- though the trees could use trimming, and the nearby ferry station dominates the scene. The breakfasts were pretty good. The service was mostly pleasant with the exception of... more

We had stayed at the Bayview a few years back and returned for another visit this past Memorial Day weekend. We were not disappointed. It is a wonderful place to stay. The staff treat you like family. The rooms had been remodeled since our last stay and are very comfortable. I wanted to take the bed home with me as... more

My husband and I along with our friends recently spent the Memorial Day week-end at the Bayview to celebrate our anniversary. Our experience was wonderful.

The Bayview hotel was awesome!!!! Walking distance to downtown Bar Harbor, a short car ride to Acadia National Park. Wonderful, helpful staff, great breakfast, beautiful clean rooms, hot coffee any time of the day and night!! I loved my stay here and would highly recommend this hotel!! more

My husband and I chose the Bayview for our anniversary getaway based on the reviews we read on this site. The customer service was excellent from the phone call for booking to the moment we loaded our car to go to the airport. When we booked the hotel they didn't have a king room available, so we booked a double... more

We got married on Sunday October 12, 2008 in Northeast Harbor, Maine and it was a destination wedding. We wanted a spectacular place for us to stay in Bar Harbor a few days before the wedding and the wedding night, as well as, an excellent place for many of our guests to stay too. We had the best experience at... more

Four of us just came back from a wonderful three nights stay at The Bayview. We stayed in the regular hotel room on the first floor, with two double beds and a pull out sofa. The room was very spacious, with a fridge and balcony. Everything in the bathroom was sparkling clean, with basic toiletries like shampoo, lotion, shower cap,... more
