What guests think
The Inn on Mount Desert earns strong praise for its friendly staff, cooked-to-order breakfasts, and walkable location near downtown Bar Harbor, while guests also highlight clean, comfortable rooms and thoughtful touches like afternoon cookies and relaxing porches.
Many find the beds cozy and the decor charming, though some rooms are small and a few bathrooms feel basic. Several reviews mention noise from street traffic or nearby common areas depending on room location, and there are occasional minor maintenance issues. Overall, expect a welcoming, low-key stay close to Bar Harbor’s sights.

Very charming inn in Bar Harbor in a great location close to Acadia NP. Downtown Bar Harbor area was an easy walk down the street. Delicious breakfasts, comfortable and clean accommodations with an elevator, ice maker and laundry facilities, beautiful grounds, easy parking. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely hotel with clean rooms and close to town. Decent breakfast served with 2 options each day for hot dishes in addition to the continental breakfast. There is ample parking and a pool table and small gym on the first floor. Highly recommended.

From the front desk staff to the room to the location of the property, everything was wonderful. Breakfast each day was very tasty and fresh made. Staff were quite friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the area. Our room was comfortable and quiet even being right next to the elevator. The property overall was lovely and we walked everywhere in Bar Harbor. Only had to get our car to drive to Acadia NP. We also loved the amenities of the hotel - especially the laundry!

I brought my 2 young children and the staff were friendly and very helpful, especially our check in. We stayed 2 nights. The room and bathroom were clean. We appreciated the fridge and microwave with kids traveling. We enjoyed the pool table one afternoon. It is so close to everything. The breakfast is fresh made and it is option A or option B and it changed each day. Delicious and fine for me, my kids are picky, but I was prepared for that (fridge again). The beds were much softer than I like, but that's my issue.

Very convenient to Main Street downtown, just a few blocks to walk or drive. Parking on site, easy access to Inn. Bed was great, bathroom was very tiny and less than appealing. We were facing the roadway in our room and we did not experience any noise which was a plus. Breakfast was included in the rate and was choice of pancakes or a frittata. Coffee and muffins and fruit were also options. We are coffee lovers and would give the coffee a thumbs down, but nice selection of hot teas. Overall, clean and great location. This is akin to a mini hotel.

For the price and from other reviews we expected more. Trash containers were full in public areas, no bar, good parking. Not an “inn” in the New England sense, think hotel. Nice garden on the side and outdoor porch seating. Lower level felt damp.

Definitely needs some touch up paint. Rec room/work out room needs some updating, our room had a sink without a drain stop a faucet that was loose and a hot water control that was extremely difficult to turn. Breakfast although a nice touch was mediocre at best eggs were overcooked pancakes and waffles were dry, hard and seemed to be prepared earlier and reheated or bought premade and reheated. Overall did not feel the property was worth the price paid.

This is a true “old” Maine experience. The young, energetic staff greeted us with a warm welcome and continually checked to make sure our needs were met. The rooms were decorated in nautical themes. They were not large but well proportioned. Th bed was fantastic. The bed linens and bath towels were excellent and EVERYTHING was spotless. It was such a nice change from commercial properties. We had a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We high,y recommend this lovely inn.

The hotel was very clean, staff was friendly, especially Conor who welcomed us when we checked in. Coffee and baked goods were offered all day and breakfast was excellent. The decor had a nautical flair with art work through out. We also enjoyed relaxing on the front porch. If you're planning on going to Bar Harbor we highly recommend staying here.

This is a beautiful inn on Mt. Desert Island! The only MAJOR problem is that there was no hot water, so we couldn't shower, something they should have told us when we registered. The beds are exceedingly comfortable, but I really would have liked to shower in the morning.

Room was comfortable and clean. Neighbors upstairs were noisy until after 0000, but that’s not the hotel’s fault. I’d recommend booking a top floor. Also don’t book by the entry door, it’s insulated but still noisy. Breakfast was BNB quality.

Nice in town location. Close to everything. Small rooms. Would expect better pillows and premium bedding. No robes- expected in this category. Nice daily breakfasts. Fairly friendly service. No maid service, after nearly a week- after requesting. Finally came thru. A mid level Inn with high prices, that don’t quite match.

In general, I rate hotels on cleanliness and ability to get good sleep. Cleanliness was excellent. However, abioity to get sleep was poor. My room (Called “Precipice”) was immediately beside the kitchen. So, at 5:45 am, I was awakened by kitchen staff slamming cabinets, pots, etc in making breakfast for that day. I discussed with staff. They acknowledged that was a problem with this room and another called Beehive. But, provided no solutions or discounts for the inconvenience. I requested that they post this issue in their bookings but see that they did not. So, if you don’t kind being awoken at 5:45 am, then no problem. Otherwise, stay elsewhere.

Staff was still cleaning an entire floor and did not coordinate with each other so they sent me to a room that was 25% ready -Staff hardly ever worked the front desk. They were not there before 3:00 PM, so you have to call in order to get someone and no one was there to check us out at 11:00 AM either. -Parking lot is not monitored. People who were not guests used the limited parking and you sometimes had to go elsewhere -Room amenities were very average. Shower was tiny. -Staff had the feel of not being welcoming/knowing what they were doing -2.3/5, will not be staying here again

The hotel thought of everything from laundry pods and machines to fresh cookies in the afternoon when you arrive home from your activities. We used the sitting areas both inside and out to have drinks, read and have pizza. Very well done! We will stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Inn on Mount Desert. From the moment we arrived the place felt comfortable and welcoming. All the staff were extremely pleasant and made you feel at home. Starting each morning with their amazing breakfast was a great way to start our day. Our room was on a corner and had great windows and a view of Mt Desert Street, but we never noticed any road noise. Additionally, our room was very clean and comfortable with all the amenities we needed. I would highly recommend staying at The Inn on Mount Desert for at least a night but preferably a few! Also, we happened to be there for the Bar Harbor Bed Races so getting to cheer on The Inn in the race was also a highlight.

Perfect place to stay in Bar Harbor. Shopping and restaurants are all within walking distance and Acadia is just a few minutes by car. The large parking lot behind the hotel is also very convenient.

Delightful. Unusually good breakfasts. Great location for a Bar Harbor visit. Close to but not in the heavy traffic business district.

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The bed was comfy and the staff was really accommodating when we asked for extra pillows. There were warm cookies available each afternoon, which was a nice touch, and the breakfast was pretty good. Each day for breakfast they offer a sweet and savory option plus they have typical continental style options, so there is plenty to eat. We also liked the location of this hotel. It was in a pretty quiet area, but we could easily walk to the center of town (6 minute walk) and drive to Acadia National Park. Having a washer and dryer on the first floor was a nice touch as well. In terms of things we didn’t love… The bathroom here wasn’t my favorite, but it was workable. The bathroom faucet is located in the entryway to the room whereas the toilet and tub/shower are in the bathroom. It made the bathroom feel small and cramped, but it was workable. While breakfast was good, it was a little slow sometimes. Even though they have a sweet option and a savory one, a lot of people were asking for custom breakfasts (using the same ingredients), which the staff obliged. It was nice of the staff to be so agreeable, but I think it made the breakfast take longer. One day I waited 30 minutes for an omelet. The speediness of having a limited menu is defeated when you take all kinds of menu requests. Overall though we liked the hotel and would stay here again.

Definitely needs some touch up paint. Rec room/work out room needs some updating, our room had a sink without a drain stop a faucet that was loose and a hot water control that was extremely difficult to turn. Breakfast although a nice touch was mediocre at best eggs were overcooked pancakes and waffles were dry, hard and seemed to be prepared earlier and reheated or bought premade and reheated. Overall did not feel the property was worth the price paid.

Great place to stay in Bar Harbor. The included breakfast was very limited. I asked for eggs and they said the only option was with a liquid pre-mix which I refused. I think most people would be happy with real eggs and some type of bread. Service was very friendly!

Very convenient to Main Street downtown, just a few blocks to walk or drive. Parking on site, easy access to Inn. Bed was great, bathroom was very tiny and less than appealing. We were facing the roadway in our room and we did not experience any noise which was a plus. Breakfast was included in the rate and was choice of pancakes or a frittata. Coffee and muffins and fruit were also options. We are coffee lovers and would give the coffee a thumbs down, but nice selection of hot teas. Overall, clean and great location. This is akin to a mini hotel.

The beds were comfortable, the location was great, the food was good. The staff was very accommodating and helpful, but there wasn't enough staff. Most times we needed help, there was a lengthy wait for assistance, either because staff was away from the desk or because they were assisting other guests, but they were always helpful and accommodating! Laundry machines worked but required help from staff because they hadnt been maintained.
