Reviews for Bar Harbor Grand Hotel

Review 1：Nice place to stay, all the staff was friendly and helpful. The morning breakfast ladies were very nice, the food was always fresh and kept stocked. We would stay here again. The rooms and the entire place was kept very clean. We enjoyed the cider and cookies. also being able to sit in the breakfast room to have coffee and juice all day. Thank you for a good experience.

Review 2：The soda machine was out of my soda and I had to go off site to get what I wanted.The night desk clerk had a really bad cold and should have stayed home with his germs.

Review 3：Everything was great very peaceful

Review 4：The walls seemed too thin. With as few using the rooms I didn't understand why noisy renters were clustered on either side of us. We used ear plugs and sleep machine to get some sleep.

Review 5：The staff was superb, as was the food, the decor, seasonal plantings out front. Front desk went out of their way to answer questions and return a valuable item forgotten in the hotel. Many thanks.

Review 6：A wonderful experience all the way around. Comfortable, great staff, nice breakfast, walking distance to harbor and to town. Easy access to Acadia National Park.

Review 7：Advertised as having wi if but never worked. When I questioned the service I was told it was because we were on the island. This was not true as wi fi worked in every bar and restaurant we visited.

Review 8：Location was great.

Review 9：Absolutely nothing

Review 10：The location downtown was excellent the rooms were very very nice and comfortable the staff was exceptional and their recommendations for eating was spot on

Review 11：Looking out my window and seeing the parking lot. Not much you can do about that.

Review 12：Was nice to leave the car behind and walk pretty much everywhere we wanted to go, except the mountain.

Review 13：The elevator did not go directly to our wing on the second floor. We had to carry out luggage up a flight of stairs or take the elevator to the third floor, walk from one end of the hotel to the other end, and then walk down one flight of stairs to get to our room. We were told that if we wanted an elevator the next time we visited them, we should ask for a room that can be accessed by an elevator. Totally unacceptable to us and especially for a new hotel. There will not be a next time.

Review 14：Great location and close to everything. The housekeeping staff are excellent.

Review 15：I would have liked lotion in the bathroom. The location was convenient to town and restaurants, but it was right on Main Street so the noise from the streets was noticeable. The breakfast offerings were a little disappointing, but adequate.

Review 16：Staff were very friendly and helpful. It was nice to have lemonade and cookies available in the lobby at all times. Parking was ample and easy.

Review 17：I can't really say anything terrible. The basement was a bit musty but it only housed the workout room and the washroom. The bedding was too soft for my liking but adequate and clean, as was the room.

Review 18：The staff made us feel special and the breakfast was great. The pool was older but well kept and clean. I liked the covered bicycle parking and the updated bathrooms. To be able to walk anywhere in downtown Bar Harbor was key.

Review 19：No bad experiences.

Review 20：Location was great, we were within walking distance of downtown Bar Harbor but not too close, several very good restaurants close by. Friendly staff. Comfortable room.

Review 21：There was nothing I didn't like about this wonderful place!

Review 22：Clean comfortable rooms, pool open til 10-loved swimming in mid- September under the stars, loved coffee and juice availability 24/7

Review 32：The worst thing I could say was the wi fi was a little slow,.

Review 33：Had a King Bed in a large modern room. Lots of places to eat adjacent to the Hotel and only a few blocks walk to the bay. Great Experience

Review 34：Check in was not real friendly, and we had a bit of a snag at check out which could have been addressed better by the hotel and Booking.com

Review 36：Wifi is free. It was poor on Saturday, but fine Sunday AM. Saturday, I switched back to my provider.

Review 37：Close to town - an easy walk to the square. Umbrellas offered on rainy day. This hotel is a lower cost than the Bar Harbor Inn & Spa. You can walk there and enjoy the facilities without the upscale price.

Review 38：Traveled with my 91 year old mom and her 90 year old friend. The accommodations were great for them in a handicap accessible room. The added security of bars in the restroom made the trip all the more enjoyable because they felt comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful also.

Review 39：I only got to spend one night. :-((

Review 41：Facility was very clean and well maintained. The out door pool was clean and comfortable. The hot breakfast was adequate. (oatmeal and an egg option making it qualify as hot.)

Review 43：Excellent location on Main Street at the edge of downtown. Clean, new hotel with ample parking off the street. Breakfast was ample. Staff was great.

Review 46：Great experience. However the front desk staff (at least when I was there) made it seem like it was painful for them to have to talk to anybody. The cleaning staff was nice. Front desk...not so much.

Review 47：Perfect location. Walking distance from all of Bar Harbor.

Review 56：They should've disclosed pool and hot tub would be closed , asked for a room with a view and didn't get that even though there was no one else in the hotel per the off season timeframe and breakfast wasn't all that great. Room smelled funny as well

Review 58：The staff was pleasant and the accomodations were very clean. Good breakfast offerings.

Review 59：We arrived late on a really busy day and it was difficult to find anywhere to park - but the staff soon told us to use a disabled bay. Other than that no problems at all.

Review 62：Norman at desk was immediately helpful when we had a noise problem with thoughtless guests. the rooms were beautifully appointed and clean,and we chose to stay longer

Review 63：Wifi and internet needs to be boosted. It was very slow and frustrating for me at times especially since I depend on Internet for planning when on trips.

Review 67：Nothing!! It was perfect considering price paid.

Review 68：Location, price, staff. Wished I would have more time. Will be back, will recommend to all who will listen.

Review 69：I go to this hotel once a year and every time I go for a run on the treadmill I say "Oh they still haven't fixed this thing". It has a weird skip in the belt that makes it seem like you are running on ice.

Review 70：The hotel almost has a bed and breakfast charm to it. The ownership and staff clearly care about the guest experience.

Review 71：It just has every thing you would need to enjoy Bar Harbor. Close enough but not in the noise bit. It has a lovely free breakfast, wifi, laundry, gym, parking.. Great

Review 72：Mattress and pillows not a great quality so we awoke with back pain every morning; the room key cards had to be re-keyed every time we and our friends entered the rooms. We kept them away from keys, magnets, cell phones but they just did not work. it was a hassle going up and down to reception constantly.

Review 73：The room size, the breakfast buffet, the helpfulness of the staff

Review 74：Wi-fi miseries. Laptop and I I pad worked perfect in Montreal, Quebec City and Portland. Worked sometimes at Grand in Bar Harbor. Asked for help at desk 4 times, different people at desk, No Help! Frustrating. Will not go back!

Review 78：The bed was not comfortable. The temp control in our room was very complicated. The whole place seemed hastily and cheaply built. There was no character, it was just a place to sleep. I will not stay there on my next visit to bar harbor

Review 79：The location is nice. Very convenient to shopping and restaurants

Review 80：Our Booking.com rate was $30 above the AAA rate. Only after calling Booking.com and their follow up were we given a lower rate. The breakfast was fair, with a nice peach citrus juice but only basic food choices. Fitness room limited equipment.

Review 88：The pillows were too soft and the continental breakfast was not worth bothering with.

Review 89：The hotel is attractive and has a perfect location in Bar Harbor.

Review 90：Breakfast was a little gloomy - particularly the hot parts. We never quite got used to eating off disposable plates but this is very much part of the US hotel/motel culture in the less expensive places.

Review 91：This is a really comfortable good value hotel. It's not luxurious but it is clean, well situated and friendly. It suited a family of four travelling from the UK very well. Continuously available hot coffee was a bonus! My kids really loved the pool.
