The location is great, across from the town square. The on-site parking is extremely convenient. It’s an easy walk to dozens of shops, restaurants, and the waterfront.
Only glitch is the rooms in the main building which face the street can be noisy at night. But that wouldn’t stop me from staying there again.

We had a wonderful stay at Acadia downtown Hotel, the room was clean and the staff was friendly and gave us lots of information on where to go and what to see, do and eat! The location is perfect, walking distance to everything in downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National park was about 10 minutes away by car. When we come back, we will stay at the Acadia Downtown Hotel again for sure!

Perfect for a few days in bar harbour. Meet at check in by Jodi and a glass of champagne! Shown to our room. Clean and comfortable with everything we needed. There was some street noise as we were at the front of the hotel however it all went quiet at about 1030 so no problem for us. Easy walk to shops and restaurants. Would stay again
