Reviews of The Bayview Hotel

Lovely hotel in a great location!

This is a lovely hotel in a great location. The room was extremely comfortable, lovely bathroom and a very comfortable bed. The breakfast was mainly a cold buffet and there were no dining options in the evening. Although they do offer a shuttle service into town where there are many...

Don't be fooled by the reviews!

I was disappointed in the quality of the room for the price paid. You can tell they facelifted an old Inn or Motel. This is not a Hotel. There are no amenities. There is nothing Bayview offers you can't get at the Holiday Inn for a fraction of the price....

Damp, musty, and noisy.

The hotel is aging poorly and not well maintained. The room was damp, musty, and noisy. I remain neutral on the customer service, though desk staff were not readily available when I had questions. The property’s location to shopping and dining was good, but this does not make up for...

Lovely getaway

The setting is beautiful and the room was very comfortable. They offer car service in to town which proved to be quite a plus since parking can be a challenge. The breakfast is better than a regular continental and they have baked goods out in the afternoon and evening. It...

Lovely stay

We really enjoyed our stay here. The Inn has comfortable, spacious rooms, outstanding views of Frenchman Bay and ample settings from which to enjoy them. The location is perfect, away from the bustle of downtown Bar Harbor but close enough to get there and to Acadia National Park within minutes....

Isolated beauty with easy access to fun

The location of this beautiful hotel is right on the shore of Frenchman Bay with every room having a water-view patio. A different chef-inspired breakfast is served every morning with wonderful desserts with some featuring local blueberries. Fresh-baked cookies are also set out every afternoon. The first floor is also...

Great Location but Very Dated

The hotel is convent at how close it is to Acadia National Park and it is just a bit out of town so you avoid the chaos. That said, the cost of the hotel relative to what it is - is insane. It is very dated. The ceiling in the...

What a dump! You can easily get a better room for cheaper anywhere on the strip.

Bad first impression. It looked like the hotel was run by homeless people, peeling paint, etc. Garbage everywhere in the courtyard. We immediately wanted to cancel but it was too late at this point. The lobby was decent though, and the room was fine, if a little run down. The...

Bay view at Bar Harbor

Wonderful hotel and lovely view. You are in walking distance to shopping but away from the crowd. Quaint place. Breakfasts are awesome and I gained a few pounds from that. There’s a bar there and cookies in the evening. Well kept. Love the view amenity. We stayed on the upper...

Excellent stay and great for hikers who want to relax!

Amazing view, beautifully decorated, excellent location! This newly renovated boutique hotel is perfectly located about a mile outside of downtown Bar Harbor. Lovely waterfront view! The lobby and is decorated beautifully and expensively; no, there isn’t an elevator, but there are only 2 floors so you won’t miss it. The...

Bar Harbor luxury hotel

The hotel location is perfect. So quiet compared to downtown and they have a great shuttle service at the hotel that will drop you off downtown. This is great because parking downtown can be difficult. We use them everyday and we would just call them and they picked you up...

A+ Staff and Service

I cannot say enough about the staff, they were so helpful and inviting. The lobby area with the nightly fireplace and a glass of wine was the perfect ending to the days adventures. The courtesy van to downtown was just another personal touch included in the experience. Room had plenty...

Bayview above all the others.

Had a fantastic time spending our 12th year anniversary! Besides the phenomenal views, it’s the little things at this boutique hotel. The awesome shower pressure (so important)! VERY comfortable beds. Clean and fresh rooms. Fresh baked cookies every morning. Free cold waters, snacks and microwave. Shuttle service. Centrally located between...
