What guests think

At Cromwell Harbor Motel, guests consistently praise immaculate, spacious rooms, friendly family-run service, and a quiet, walkable location just outside downtown Bar Harbor with easy access to Acadia National Park and ample parking.

Many also like the well-kept grounds and outdoor pool, though the water can be cold. Common trade-offs include no on-site breakfast, housekeeping on request, firm checkout at 10 a.m., and occasionally basic or dated furnishings; recent nearby roadwork has at times caused detours or daytime noise. Expect a clean, quiet, no-frills stay in a convenient location.

We had a great stay at the Cromwell Harbor Motel. All of the staff we talked to were wonderful, and it shows that this is a family-owned establishment. The location is absolutely perfect - a short walk to town, but just out of town so it's very quiet at night. The rooms are huge and completely clean. All of the grounds, including the pool, look immaculate (although we didn't use the pool). Ample parking as well. Would definitely recommend!

Cromwell Harbor is the absolute perfect place to stay in Bar Harbor. It is a very quaint and cute motel tucked about a half mile out of downtown. The parking is very easy and the walk into downtown is even easier. There is even a creek next to the property. I would highly recommend!

The nice place to stay near Acadian Park. Very close to bus station and small stores in the city. A nice host. Spacious room. A microwave and a fridge in the room. I suggest to change either the table or the chairs, because they are different height and do not convinient to use. The bed is very hard, I prefer softer surface, so I put additional blanket underneath, it helped. The water in the pool is not heated, so it depends on the outside weather. Thanks for staying at your place.

This place was absolutely immaculate. From the well manicured front lawn and beautiful flowers to the tidy rooms. Room was pretty basic but spacious and had what we needed. It was nice to sleep with the windows open and enjoy the cool night air. We felt very safe doing so. The location was about a 12 minute walk down the road to the shops and restaurants, which were plentiful. The hotel owner we interacted with was friendly, funny and welcoming. We would stay here again.

The owner works very hard to maintain the property. The exterior appears to have had an upgrade. The room on the 2 nd floor ( no elevator) was very spartan. A wood table, 2 pull up wood chairs , an old dresser Circa mid 70s , the heat ing unit was extremely load and we needed to shut it off during the night because of the noise. and old bed linens. The room was clean but so lacking in comfort. There is a small dorm like fridge, micro and Mr Coffee no continental breakfast available on site or exercise room . It is a clean property but lacks a sense of comfort and ease .

This motel was clean, quiet, and convenient to Bar Harbor and Acadia. The room was spacious and had a cute balcony for drinking coffee & early morning sun. It was a short 5-10 minute walk to the Main Street in Bar Harbor for shopping and restaurants. There was city road construction being done near the hotel but it did not interfere with our enjoyment of the property. Cromwell Harbor Motel was everything we wanted in a home base while exploring the area.

This was our first time to Bar Harbor and we are in love with this little town. Our hotel location was within walking distance of restaurants, bars, parks and the water front. Yet, it was just far enough away to enjoy some peace and quiet. The hotel room and grounds were lovely and so clean. The pool was a nice surprise and we took advantage of the cool, clean water and comfy lounge chairs. The location was just a short drive down the road from Acadia and all the trails and easy coastal access. The hotel front desk was very friendly and had great recommendations for dining options. We even left an item behind and they were kind enough to mail it back to us. I highly recommend staying here. Clean, quiet, affordable, accessible. Thanks for making our weekend so peaceful and relaxing.

The motel is a very basic, old style motel. The person on duty at check in said that because we booked through Expedia, they should take care of us and she didn’t need to. The motel doubles their rates for this time of year and provides no room cleaning or make up despite our 4 day 3 night stay. Replacement towels and consumables are available if you fill out a check list. It’s a 10 -25 minute walk into town depending on your destination. The pool was closed

Really close to Acadia National Park, and the owner clearly informed what to do if you needed cleaning etc. which managed expectations. Nice little pool too but no breakfast. Should upgrade the quality of the towels and move away from plastic and paper cups, it’s 2024.
