Acadia Ocean View Hotel

Acadia Ocean View Hotel

8/10 Good
"From a picture, we thought we would be closer to the water. There was a little view of it. This would be a great place for families with children in the warmer months, pool, and lots of room to run around or ride bikes. This is an older hotel that has been updated. We wanted to Uber into Bar Harbor but no Ubers were in the area. Luckily we were able to find parking both evenings."

"We did a lot of walking while we were here. It took us about 15 minutes to walk to all the restaurants and shopping. Great location for us. Staff were great. We felt like it was a great value for what we received. We also enjoyed the carry and go breakfast. We ended up using them as snacks after our many hikes."
