I went there for a conference and it was one of the best ever. They fed a large group of us and the food was wonderful. The hotel rooms are large and the staff is very helpful. Ask for a room that has a water view, and not one that overlooks the parking lot.

This is my second trip to bar harbor over memorial weekend. This hotel is in downtown bar harbor so once you checked in unless you are heading to Arcadia national park, you don't have to move your car any further. Everything is within walking distance. They even give a 15% off coupon for whale watching tour. The rooms are nice... More

Hotel staff was very accommodating. Rooms were very well appointed. Brand new carpet, bathroom lovely. No frig in room. Some of the rooms overlook the parking lot. Be sure to ask about your view from the room. That also depends on your price category of course. It would have been nice for hotel to offer complimentary coffee, but that was... More

Resort is just excellent. Just arrived from May 18 to 20 week-end. Second time at the resort. Pool is warm, service is excellent, food is good, clean, close to everything, beautiful views. No complaints about this place.

I stayed here for a wedding in 2011 and it was a horrible value and experience. I would highly recomend staying anywhere but here. The website looks great, but the staff is bad and the facility is disapointing. Management made a number of mistakes and refused to correct them- the spa charged me for services I had ordered but did... More

We stayed in April, which was a slow tourist season for this part of Maine. The Harborside hotel was fantastic -- and we were happy with the rate of less than $150 per night. A great location in easy walking distance from downtown, but calm and quiet at the hotel itself. We loved the heated pool as well, so that... More

I loved staying at this hotel, but it was purely by accident. We traveled in late October, when everything was closing down for the winter. The hotel we originally rented decided to close early, so they transferred us here- and upgraded us to an oceanview room. If you are going to spend the money to stay here, try and get... More

We stayed here for a long weekend the third week of October this past year. We had stayed here over the summer and had a great experience, sadly that was not the case this time around. I booked our stay directly from the hotel website, they were advertising a fall promotion, and the cost for the room was $129 per... More

I stayed 2 nights here in October because we couldn't get into the Bar Harbor Inn (it was filled). What luck for us! I was hesitant because some of the reviews were not great, and were told our room was going to face the parking lot, but we found our stay to be a wonderful experience. The room & bathroom... More

My wife and I have stayed at the Harborside several times in the past. Based on the quality of our previous stays we decided to book the hotel for our Bar Harbor wedding. Once again, we were not let down. The entire staff is truly dedicated to making your stay enjoyable and they enjoy conversing and sharing their own stories.... More
