Top Thunder Hole Hotel Reviews

Seasider Motel

8/10 Good

"I would say this place was just ok. Not too bad and not wonderful either. I guess for the price it was good. I liked that it was walking distance to downtown. I thought the beds were comfortable. The staff were not just overly friendly or welcoming. The complimentary breakfast didn’t have very many options, but I will say the blueberry muffins were very good."

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!"

Bar Harbor Manor

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience at the property"

Main Street Motel

8/10 Good

"The location was perfect. Very walkable and easy to get in and out of town in a car. The free snacks a drinks were awesome. The staff was very friendly. My main complaint would be the stairs. They were steep and hard to navigate with luggage. Also, a coffeemaker in the room would be nice. It was cold and rainy which made the walk to the office for coffee a little hard."

The Inn on Mount Desert

10/10 Excellent

"This is a really quaint inn just a short walk to the heart of Main Street and the village green where all the shopping and restaurants are located. The room was well maintained and the bed was very comfortable. The only issue was the bathroom shower curtain which didn’t stay in place. The lobby area is very cozy with sofas and reading material. Breakfast was personalized. They have two items per day and the food is prepared to order. They also have a variety of baked items that they set out for guests. Overall, great inn, very friendly service and awesome location! I’d definitely stay here again!"

Newly Updated Island Cottage - Walk to the Beach & Acadia National Park

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable and great location for Acadia Park! Loved our stay"
