What guests think

Acadia Pines Motel is an older, budget-friendly roadside property praised for its convenient access to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, but feedback is mixed on upkeep, with some clean, comfortable stays and others citing worn conditions.

Rooms feel dated and basic, with recurring reports of limited hot water and weak shower pressure, plus occasional Wi-Fi reach issues and thin walls. Many guests find the staff friendly, yet others report curt interactions, slow or unavailable front-desk help, and limited office hours. The pool is frequently closed, and the simple bagged breakfast is convenient for some but low in quality for others. Expect a no-frills stay where location is the main draw.

The room was quaint with a homey feel. The staff kept the room very clean. Very few amenities. Room included a small refrigerator, television, heat, a/c, 2 sitting chairs, queen bed and night stands. There was no room for anything else. There was 2 chairs and a table outside the door of each unit. The room was VERY CLEAN. The bed was comfortable.

The rooms were very clean and parking was available right across from our unit. The AC worked great and the staff i encountered were very friendly. We drove 10 hours to get there and when I realized we would not be there before the office closed I called and left a message for someone to call back and let us know what to do. I waited about 3 hours and called and left another message, still no call back. Called again about 2 hours later and someone answered and let me know what to do, but they never apologized for not responding at all. Other than that, the room was great for the price.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay during our recent visit to Acadia. I liked that we had designated parking outside of our room. The room was clean and perfect for our needs. The facility is old which is noticed with our bathroom floor sagging and the pool being in bad shape. I was surprised how junky the office looked considering how nice the outside of the motel looked and the cleanliness of our rooms. The spot is within walking distance to several other hotels and restaurants and the free bus.

It is an older motel but had a clean room. It said it provided breakfast and it did. It was a brown bag type with packaged items.the oj was frozen and could not drink. The pool had no water and was not open. It was good for the two nights I stayed as I was just there too sleep and shower while visiting the area. It was close to everything which was a plus.

I picked this motel because the Expedia listing said it had a pool. Very obvious the pool had been out of commission for months. Also said they had kitchenettes - false. Pictures of property & rooms on Expedia looked much better than how run down it really was

Terrible. Room was damp. Walls thin and noisy. Pool half full and out of use. Junk lying around in back. Someone’s trailer randomly placed in back. Some lights out. No mirror in bathroom. Overall a dive. Zero stars. DO NOT STAY HERE.

Everything was fine - bed very comfortable - staff friendly and very helpful and responsive - good space & very clean. The only criticism is that the bathroom could use more updating: newer & more comfortable toilet (higher, oval shaped toilet), plus a new tub/shower area, and especially shower head with better water pressure.

We only stayed for 1 night while in Bar Harbor but the location was excellent. Only 6 minutes from town. The room was very large and spacious and very clean. It's definitely a bit dated but the cleanliness made up for that. There is a stove, fridge and sink that were probably from the 1950s or 60s but all working and sort of charming. We got to choose a continental breakfast and pick it up in a bag in the office in the am which was convenient. The bed was king and huge. I would definitely stay there again.

Property is in desperate need of upgrading and improvements- NO hot water, lock on door didnt work, towel racks in bathroom broken, holes in wall. After notifying staff of no hot water, they did have maintenance address the issue - that lasted for one day, then back to no hot water. Towels are stained. Breakfast is awful packaged, convenience store items delivered to your room in a brown paper bag. Avoid this motel!

No one at the desk on check-in, late afternoon. A nice lady showed up after 5-10 minutes. Room was a bit dated, but clean and plenty of space for 3 people. TV didn't work, no wifi password was evident, and the office was locked within minutes of our check-in. There was an ice bucket in the room, but no ice machine evident-must have been in the office. The bathroom sink, hot water had only a trickle of hot water. Shower had excellent pressure and worked well. We would consider staying again, but would check out the room and its features and report them quickly to the front desk, before departing for dinner, as we did. The office remained locked as we departed before 8am. Suggest a phone number to be posted in the room for any issues that come up for what must be a staffing issue.

The staff was very rude when checking in at our stay. Then the housekeeping came it not once, but twice when we had properly stated we did not want the cleaning services and we were still in the room. The property was quiet and away from the hustle of downtown which we liked and was mostly tidy but very outdated, more so than was expected from reading the descriptions. Also there was a lot of discarded materials and trash laying around the property

We stayed for three days on May 2024. Rooms are very well maintained. Staffs are very much supportive. One thing which we were not happy was breakfast, they will pack the items and give it to you earlier day itself. So, you will not get the fresh breakfast. If you are not looking for breakfast, you can consider this property.
