Island Place

This is an incredible spot in Bar Harbor, parking right in front and easily walkable to the entire city. The staff was so friendly too

Property is conveniently located off Rt 3 and it is a very leisurely 5-7 minute walk to the main strip and harbor area so no need to drive if you don't want to. Rooms are clean and well kept, queen bed was very comfortable. Free ice and water refill station in check in area are convenient and much appreciated. Ladies that keep the check in desk are very friendly and will offer recommendations for food and activities. Rooms are relatively quiet considering proximity to the main road. Worth it for the convenience. Would love to stay here again!

Had no idea what I was doing when I planned our first trip to Acadia. Island Place was really a surprise gem and was the PERFECT base for us. It’s about a 10 minute walk to Main Street, so you’re walking distance to everything but far away from the crowds. Super convenient to get to Bar Island and to drive to the main roads. And the free parking spot took all the potential headache out of finding a spot for the car. Maureen and the rest of the staff were so friendly and welcoming, always saying hello and asking about our trip. The room itself was clean, comfy, and quiet. Would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend!

We loved our stay at the Island Place. We traveled up for a quick two day stay and wanted somewhere walkable to the downtown proper. The rooms were clean, well kept, and had everything one would need amenity wise. The water bottle filling station and ice were especially nice for the morning hikes! Highly recommend and will be back again!

All the staff was pleasant, friendly and accommodating to all questions. Rooms were clean with updated style furniture, floorind and furnishes. The porch had nice lounging chairs to sit outside. Our room had a small bathroom (1 person at a time) but it worked for our needs to have a landing spot for the weekend. Easy 10 minute max walk downtown. Plenty of bars or places to eat less than a 10 minutes away. Found it nice to park right in front of your room door and not have o carry everything into a larger hotel. Overall great stay.

Great walking distance to the heart of downtown. We really appreciated the fridge/freezer to store our drinks. We would definitely stay again!

We had such a wonderful stay at Island Place! Kim was so friendly when she checked us in and gave us so much helpful information about the area. The location couldn’t be better—an easy walk to downtown Bar Harbor and just a quick drive to Acadia National Park. Parking right out front was super convenient. The rooms were immaculate, cute, and perfectly quaint. We loved having a sitting area right outside our room on the deck to relax and drink some coffee, and the gardens were absolutely beautiful. We even met the owner as we were checking out, and she was so kind and personable. We’ll definitely stay here again for both the cleanliness and the unbeatable location. Highly recommend!

The ONLY thing that bothered me about this stay was the price. At almost $400/night (when fees & taxes were added), it seemed expensive for a room in an older style motel with no frills, no breakfast, & very little amenities. That being said, the rooms were clean & in very good condition. There was only one community microwave to use in the Lobby but there was a fridge in the room. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and informative. When we checked in, they had maps ready to show us the recommended eating & shopping places and how to get there. Parking was free & it was an easy walk to downtown Bar Harbor so it was nice not to have to fight for a parking spot because we could leave our car at the motel. It was also in a good location to slip out & be on our way to Acadia Nat'l Park quickly without fighting traffic. The beds were comfortable & the water was hot. Even though they did not offer breakfast, they did have a coffee bar in the lobby that was available for hot drinks & guests had a code to access the lobby before/after hours. If it had been less expensive, it would have been nice to have had more time to explore Bar Harbor & Acadia Park, but the price of the rooms limited our stay to 2 nights. To be fair, the prices in the area were all a little steep though, and some much higher than what we paid so maybe it was just a matter of demand over supply, but it hurts a common person's budget to pay that much just to have a place to sleep.

Great location. Plenty of parking. Nice rooms and nice staff.

We had a fantastic stay! Really nice and clean place with friendly and helpful staff. Perfect location, was great to park the car here and have it for trips into Acadia but being able to walk just a few minutes to anything we wanted to do in town. Thank you for the wonderful weekend!

Island place is a beautiful property and walkable to downtown shopping and restaurants. Very clean and the staff is super friendly and helpful with activities in the area. Would definitely stay here again if we return to Bar Harbor!

This place was spotless and the most pleasant people working there! Would highly recommend this place!

This place was very clean and convenient to walk to restaurants and shops. The room was nice and bed was super comfortable. I would stay here again because it was one of the most affordable in the area. Did I mention how clean everything felt? Super clean room and property!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Very clean, easy to get in and out, and easy access to Acadia NP Room was comfortable. Would highly recommend Island Place to anyone.

Walk to everything! Spotless room, newly remodeled, comfy bed, cute decor.

Very clean and nice staff

Friendly staff, very clean room, and the property itself was beautifully maintained. Accessible to Acadia National Park and Cadillac Mtn. entrance. A perfect visit!

Excellent Experience! Location was perfect. Hotel was very clean and modern. Top notch costumer service.

The property is very well maintained, nice room, extremely clean and well taken care of. People are helpful, giving directions, helped with planning the days with tips and tricks. This was an amazing experience to stay at Island Place. Location is very close to the center, but far enough to stay quiet. Great place.

Hotel was in a great location close to downtown, the room was super clean and comfortable and the staff was very friendly! Couldn’t have asked for a better stay.

Small but nice room, could have used some better pillow options, there were only two pillows on the bed and they were too thick. Hot beverages and drinks in the office 24hrs but non in the rooms.

Room was enormous, clean and very comfortable. All the staff we dealt with were so friendly - explaining the local area and Acadia National Park. The hotel is so close to everything in Bar Harbor so you can leave the car and just walk around. Super close to Acadia - just a 10 minute drive. Coffee, tea etc. available at the reception, as well as a place to refil water bottles which was appreciated. Would have loved if the rooms had glasses instead of plastic cups though. Would definitely stay again!

Great little place, very homey, few blocks from main street. Would give 4.5 stars, only issue was needs black out curtains.

Great walking distance to the heart of downtown. We really appreciated the fridge/freezer to store our drinks. We would definitely stay again!

Room was nice, large, comfortable and very convenient for walking around town. The owner and staff are very, very helpful and nice.

This is a standard motel property that has been well kept and updated. The double my husband and I shared was modest in size, but ample to accommodate us and our things for three days, with a small fridge, and sitting areas indoor and out. Walkability was important to us—especially since you pay for all parking in town and it is regularly enforced —so being a 10 minute walk to the Harbor and downtown area was great. Front desk staff were very helpful with tips, and office is open by keypad when it is not staffed.

Perfect location for accessing Bar Harbor shops and Acadia National Park. We could walk to dinner every night. The staff was wonderful. The rooms are spacious.

Island Place is an amazing stay to visit Bar Harbor and Acadia. The hotel is clean and well maintained and walking distance from downtown and the Village Green. We were able to walk to the shuttle buses instead of driving. Maureen and everyone there are the nicest people we've encountered at a hotel ever. They have amazing recommendations and made us feel like home. We are eager to come back!

This property and the staff were all you could ever ask for. Honestly the most helpful hotel/motel staff I have ever experienced. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful time at Island Place. It is a great location and we enjoyed many of the restaurants near the property. The staff of Island Place were very kind and set this place apart from other Bar Harbor options. We were heading into town for a wedding and they helped make sure we were checked in and ready to go! We would definitely stay here again!

Staff and owner are amazing. They are friendly and offer great suggestions on how to make the best of your stay.

Everything about the property was wonderful. But what made the experience was the warm and knowledgeable staff. We would go back in a heartbeat.

My stay at Island Place was fantastic! The staff were all so nice and the location was perfect for day hiking in Acadia and then walking to dinner later that evening.

Nice room. Woman checking us in was very friendly and helpful

The owner and staff are so warm and welcoming, check in and out was a breeze, location is phenomenal and felt so safe as a solo traveler. Highly highly recommend.

Great place to stay in Bar Harbor. Walk to everything, off street parking and the staff is friendly and helpful. The porch is a great place to sit after a day of hiking or shopping.

Friendly staff, conveniently located.

Perfect location, close to the park and a good walkable distance to the downtown. Away from the noise and through traffic but walkable distance to the grocery store, restaurants, and water. Highly recommend!
