The hotel very pretty and architecture fit the towns history. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The packages for rooms, dinner, and tour were a great value. Look forward to coming back again. Will definitely stay at the Bar harbor Grand Hotel again.

We decided to take our ten month old twins and go on our first family vacation to Bar Harbor and stay at this hotel. We couldn't have chose a better place! The hotel is very clean, and saying the staff is kind would not even justify how nice they all are. Everyone always smiled and was helpful. The staff is aware of many local activities and restaurants and were very willing to share their information with us and give recommendations. Also, the continental breakfast is great! Only a short walk to town (about 2 minutes), which was wonderful because parking in town is horrendous.

We stayed at the Grand for six nights Oct. 1 - 7, 2012 and loved it. The entire hotel staff is very friendly, the rooms are spacious, the hotel is spotlessly clean, and a delicious breakfast is included. There are also laundry and exercise rooms which we used. We paid extra for special deals which included dinner and a boat tour. These were so worth the money. Be sure to take them up on special offers.

The hotel is perfectly situated. It is within a couple of short blocks of the village green where you can catch the buses running throughout Acadia, restaurants and shops are everywhere, the waterfront is only a couple of more blocks, and we easily walked to the sand bar at low tide and the ocean-front walkway.

Bar Harbor traffic is difficult, and daily there are cruise ships depositing thousands of tourists that are walking around or taking buses to offboat excursions. The great thing is that the Grand is accessible by back roads that by-pass the village green area, allowing you to get in and out easily.

We highly recommend the Grand. We hope to return during the summer and will definitely stay here again if there is availability.

Went here on my honeymoon and we LOVE this place! The rooms are clean, the staff is more than accommodating, the location is ideal, right on Main St. The dinner for 2 at the Reading Room package was exceptional as well as the Acadia Guided Tour. We highly recommend this place. We definitely will come back
