One of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed at based on wonderful amenities and customer service! Taylor at the front desk was incredibly friendly, upbeat and helpful. The pantry on each floor is a nice, convenient touch! Location was perfect and the pool and Italian restaurant across the street at their sister hotel were wonderful. Will definitely stay here again!

We absolutely loved this hotel. It was right in the middle of waterfront, all the shopping and restaurants and close proximity to Acadia. Staff was friendly and helpful, very comfortable beds and pillows. Loved being able to grab water, coffee, tea on our floor as needed. If you’re looking for a great view within walking distance to all the Bar Harbor things, and hospitable service, this hotel is for you. Added bonus the whole hotel smelled incredible.

Once again, our stay at West Street Hotel was perfect. The staff was so accommodating when I had to change my arrival date, at the last minute due to a health issue. Nichole, the superstar manager, and her dog Finn, greet every guest like family. She remembers our preferred room from year to year and managed to put family very close by. The hotel has everything you need for a fantastic stay. The room itself is comfortable, beautiful and spotlessly clean. The housekeeping staff is very friendly and helpful. There is hot fresh coffee each morning steps away from your room. The roof top pool is so welcoming after a day spent in Acadia. We are happy to have an adults-only oasis ( there are two great pools for families to use across the street), The hotel installed electric chargers a few summers ago so we can even charge up our car each night as we sleep. Paddy’s, the on-site restaurant, is one of our favorites and does great room service when you are too tired to leave the room after a long day. The lobby has a lovely fireplace and comfy sofas and we spent some rainy evenings just relaxing and chatting with other guests. Overall, the hotel truly helps make a vacation in Acadia the best time ever.…

A great hotel! We stayed in two different types of rooms, both 2 king suites with views of the water. Excellent location within walking distance to all of the attractions. Each floor has a pantry with coffee, tea and water available 24/7. The front desk staff is exceptionally helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!

Beautiful location. Beautiful room. Excellent amenities. When we arrived, we were immediately made to feel at home. Met at the door by a friendly young man who showed us where to park, unloaded our luggage and delivered it to our room with friendly advice on eating and other goings on around the downtown. The room had a balcony overlooking the harbor and all the activities there. Walking distance for anything happening there. A little pricy but definitely worth it.

This was a pleasant and very clean hotel in the heart of Bar Harbor. The hotel itself is nothing unusual so I would definitely book a room with an ocean view. We had a charming little balcony with 2 chairs and a table. It was fun sitting outside to enjoy the view and activities of Frenchman’s Bay with morning coffee and a cocktail in the evening. Our room had a fridge and a safe. There is a coffee pantry on each level near the elevator. The fifth floor has an adults only infinity pool and lounge area. We enjoyed Finn, the manager’s dog, who was the polite official greeter of both human and pet guests. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.

My wife and I come to Bar Harbor every year and have stayed at some of the top properties on the island. The West Street is at the very top of the list for us. My wife and I were celebrating our 1 year wedding anniversary and the hotel was the perfect spot for a couples getaway. Daphne at the front desk set us up with a beautiful top floor ocean view room and was always incredibly helpful and pleasant every time we stopped by the desk. She is the best! The modern and nautical design of the hotel is a refreshing change up from some of the older style inns and motels. The rooms are very spacious and impeccably clean. The best part for couples is that the rooftop pool is adults only and has the best view in town. If you’re look for an summer getaway or couples trip, stay at the West Street!…

Hotel is lovely. Staff is very friendly. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Can use facilities, including pools, at their sister hotels, which are a short walk. Nice shop attached. Centrally located. Short walk to many, many shops and restaurants.

Beautfiful hotel, in a great location. Pricey if you compare it to other hotels in other location, a hell of a deal if you compare it to a 2-star hotel in Bar Harbor. A very relaxing bedroom, nice shower, and plentiful self-service amenities. Staff is very much hit and miss. Receptionists, valet, - fantastic. Friendly, authentic, empathetic. Our housekeeper as well as the early (630AM) office attendants - not so much; very grouchy, not a smile to be spared, and we felt like we were a burden. The office attendant doubled as valet in the morning, and boy did he have a dismissive and rude personality in the morning! I know it's hard to find workers nowadays, but these two marred an otherwise wonderful stay.

We had a 2 room shared suite for two families and it was excellent. Our view was a side street but it was nice to have balcony. An ocean view would have been spectacular! Roof top pool was nice but we were not able to access it as we had people under 18 in our party so it’s a walk to the family pool but it is an option. Coffee available on every floor (came in Handy when our floors machine was temporarily down), wry close to all the evening walking action and shops. Easy walk to the shuttle for Acadia. They have a laundry facility on each floor as well which our parties also utilized. The rooms we stayed in were carpeted (would have preferred no carpet) but aside from that it was a great stay. Definitely not the most affordable option but our entire group was happy with the accommodation. They also provide water bottles which was a nice surprise and perfect for when my youngest broke her refillable Bottle 😉 we hope to be blessed to come back again. Don’t count on snack bars as. They are limited but there was always coffee/tea/fruit pieces and water available.…
