“Better than expected”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 21, 2012

We were disappointed when we arrived as the buildings looked very unattractive. However when we got in the room it was larger than expected, very clean and it had everything one would expect. The view from the balcony was fantastic and it was very quiet. There was a free bus, which travelled into town every half an hour, so no driving was needed. One evening we saw a deer in the car park! I agree that it could all do with updating and refurbishing.

“Spend 20.00 more for somthing a whole lot better. Or spend a whole lot less, for the same thing.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012 via mobile

Service was blah when we first arrived. Like annoyed she had to work. Room was old. Old windows. Old pain chilling around bathroom sink. I could hear dogs barking. Nothing that would ever make me want to ever return. Need to update ac. Windows. Mini Refrigerator. And paint bathroom. ESP for the price, I think they can.

Thank you for your review regarding your visit to the Wonder View. I apologize for the service not being up to par as this is what we truly take pride in. Regarding the physical aspects of the building, it is indeed an older complex but we are spending a significant amount of money to upgrade the property over a multi year term. The location, cleanliness and service are the key components.
If you would give us another chance should your your travel plans take you to Bar Harbor, I would be more than willing to give you a night of complimentary lodging to experience the improvements.

“A BIT TIRED”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

We booked at the Wonder View Inn for the night we were at Bar Harbour, based on other recommendations. However we were very disappointed. Yes indeed there was a view of the sea in the distance and I am sure the view from the recommended restaurant, where we did not dine, or the room on the upper level, could be very good.

The reception was pretty off hand, there were only plastic cups in the room with no tea or coffee making facilities, which were only available in the reception area from 0700 to 2100. No glasses for wine or beer were available other than in the restaurant.

The whole place a had fairly tired atmosphere. I would describe this as a very basic Motel and would not stay there agin nor would I recommend it.

Room Tip: We cannot give any tips as we did not see any other rooms

Thank you for your review regarding your visit to the Wonder View Inn. I deeply apologize for the issues that you pointed out.

“View is as wonderful as promised.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 3, 2012

We stayed in one of the higher level rooms, which had a fantastic view of the entire Bar Harbor bay. We never grew tired of watching it--esp. the cruise ships as they came and went. The hotel is located outside the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor proper, and I think that is a benefit. The quiet for sleeping and relaxation was very welcome. The room was spacious, comfortable, and well equipped. We found the balcony a special plus. Also, as has been said, the Looking Glass Restaurant serves fantastic food (we preferred breakfast to dinner) with the same delightful view. Altogether, you could not ask for a better hotel in the Bar Harbor area.

Room Tip: If you can afford it, it is worth paying a little more for the higher level rooms--the views they ha...

Thank you for your review of the Wonder View Inn. You are correct as one never does get tired of the view. I marvel at it daily. As described the location of the Inn is one of the key elements of the property. I will also pass along your comments to our culinary team regarding your meals at the Looking Glass restaurant. We hope to see you again when your travel plans bring you back to New England.

“Lobster and Eggs Benedict”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

Our stay at Wonderview was a great bargain. Even in the less expensive rooms the view of the harbor was beautiful. The Looking Glass Restaurant offered a delicious breakfast with excellent service. Try the Eggs Benedict with lobster. I would stay at the Wonderview again.

Thank you for your review regarding your stay at the Wonder View Inn. The lobster benedict that you enjoyed was a very strong selling item this season indeed. Hopefully when your travel plans bring you back to Maine, we will be honored to serve you again.
