Top Thunder Hole Hotel Reviews

Seasider Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff is super friendly and helpful! Dustin on night shift was especially helpful and kind. He gave us places to go see we had never heard of that were beautiful! This motel’s location is fantastic it’s right on the edge of town. It’s far enough away that you don’t have to deal with traffic but close enough you can walk to everything downtown it’s a little over .5 miles to walk. It’s also extremely close to Acadia! The 24 hour complementary water snacks and coffee are great for Hikers who may be up extremely early trying to hike up the mountain for the sunrise! They also have a little breakfast from 7-10 that isn’t a ton of food but it’s enough to get you going. The room was very clean when we arrived and had everything you needed. The only thing we had wrong is we didn’t have shower curtains in our room when we arrived but it was resolved immediately when we brought it to their attention. If we came back to the area we would 100% stay here again!"

Main Street Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice little motel within walking distance of all of the shops and dining. Really great stay!!"

Cromwell Harbor Motel

8/10 Good

"We were warmly greeted at our check in. The room surprised as to how big it is! We appreciated advance notice that we would need to carry our luggage up a set of stairs. The balcony and outside chairs were a nice addition. The location is fantastic! It was very pleasant walking the short walk to town and not having to pay extra fees to park."

Bluenose Inn - Bar Harbor Collection

10/10 Excellent

"This was our first trip to Bar Harbor for our 34th wedding anniversary. We were on the fourth floor and overlooked the water view. The hotel was amazing and in walking distance of Main Street. The staff was great. The piano bar was awesome and everything went very smoothly with check-in and check out. I would highly recommend this hotel."

The Pathmaker Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location is excellent. Walking distance to everything. The complementary coffee and the cookies were really good after a day of site seeing"

Strawberry Hill A Deluxe Retreat, Close to Village 1.5 mi to Acadia

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed this home! The location was great and even though the MDI Marathon was happening right in Bar Harbor our spot was quiet and secluded. We had plenty of room for multiple activities on multiple levels of the house. We especially loved the hot tub after hiking and biking all day! Could have used a few more kitchen towels, but otherwise all was well stocked, clean and very comfortable. We ran out of gas for the grille, but happily there was another one available on site.The open floor plan accommodated a very smooth flow. Everyone enjoyed being able to spread out and gather in smaller groups as well as larger dinners. We plan to be back next year!"
