My mom and I stayed here while checking out various places for my May 2008 wedding. We had to get a new room because of mobility issues and they were quite accommodating. The patio off our room looked right onto the water, only 35 yards away! Sunrise was gorgeous every morning. The staff was helpful and our room was clean.... more

Came to Bar Harbor last Memorial Day weekend. Had planned on coming months earlier and had booked a room online. When we arrived, they offered an oceanfront room--with no cost increase!! Memorial Day is still a bit early for Bar Harbor so the rooms were available, but still a nice upgrade ($90+/-) per night. If your going early or late... more

We stayed here one night in October, 2007. We arrived in Bar Harbor w/ no reservation and called several places and prices seemed very high for so late in the season. We called this property directly after driving past it. Got an excellent rate of $81.00 for ocean view. The property has a couple of different kinds of buildings/rooms. There... more

I was concerned after reading the reviews here, but it was better than I expected. My room was in one of the buildings along the water (Building 5) and it had been renovated, was very large, and had lovely views out over the bay. I was there for 4 nights and never heard a noise from another guest room (although... more

My husband and I stayed in the Oakes in Bar Harbor for four days when we went to participate in the Mount Desert Island Marathon in October. The Oakes was one of the sponsoring hotels so it was convenient for us to go to the race expo and things like that. The property is on the old side, but everything... more

I came upon this hotel's website and it seemed like what I was looking for. We were looking for superior accommodations, wanted to play tennis, have an indoor pool and find a suite to accommodate our 3 children. We were so disappointed when we arrived. The buildings looked like an old camp rather than a "resort". Most of the buildings... more

As other reviewers have said this place is a good value for the location and the view. We stayed for 4 days with 2 children and the rooms was very comfortable. We weren't there much since there is so much to do in Bar Harbor but it was clean and affordable. We had noticed that if you mentioned an internet... more

We stayed 4 nights at the hotel, and we loved the location and view of the bay. The walls were a little thin, and the decor was unforgettable, but we liked having a kitchenette. The view from the balcony was great. We would definately stay here again, since it seemed reasonably priced. And, the kids loved both the pools. more
