So, before anything else I want to point out something that really meant a lot to me. I have multiple sclerosis and I forgot to ask for a handicap room. The room had two grab bars in the tub which was amazing! Generally, the world doesn't automatically think of people with mobility issues, but this place did. Otherwise, beautiful place with a lovely room. The room was clean, spacious, well appointed and was well lit with a nice window out front. Check-in was easy and the people who work there are very nice. The gentleman cleaning my room was outside when I was putting my duffel bag back up in the cargo carrier on top of my car and came right over to help me. Like I said, 10 out of 10!

Hubby said he's never seen a tub as white & clean. Bed was comfy with great linens & pillows. Free wifi, quiet spot with coffee in the room, cute small fridge & small microwave.

Our stay at this 2010 built Ellsworth/Bar Harbor Hampton was for just one night Thursday June 24…read morefor three people. Despite it being a weekday the bill was $343.35 as the tourist season had started. We had a rented a vehicle and the Bar Harbor Hampton was priced even higher than this one. We choose Hamptons because of the Hilton ownership oversight, although individually they are privately managed so quality will vary. We came from Minnesota an had just spent three nights at the Portland Downtown-Waterfront Hampton and were in Bar Harbor for a cruise and to check out Arcadia National Park. As it turns out we should have spent the three nights here and just one at the sketchy Portland Hampton. My girlfriend's daughter insists on separate beds for all of us. One great thing about Hamptons is that a rollaway bed added to a double queen room is not an issue, although the quality of the bed itself varies greatly by location. Here our requested rollaway was waiting for us with linens and pillows, and it was a decent one unlike the broken one we got in Portland that also didn't have a pillow or top sheet. My girlfriend actually commented on how nice the room was, a rare nod of approval as we are both a bit cynical. The thermostat had its own remote, the Hilton app actually worked on the TV if I remember right, there was an ice bucket and even a couple mini recycling bins. The view was just the local shopping mall, but that's not what we got the room for. One slight disappointment was being refused the token Hilton Silver Level membership benefit of free bottles of water on arrival. Maybe this isn't a 'select' Hampton. The workout room here was large and modern, unlike many Hampton workout rooms. The pool was also well kept. The normally no frills Hampton breakfast was way above par at this property. There was an abundance of choices and healthy options in bakery, hot and cold items, fresh fruit, toppings, and beverages. This included dairy free and gluten free options like Silk almond milk and Udi's gluten free muffins. See the image postings. This was an especially welcome sight after the sparse Portland Hampton breakfast bar of the previous three days. A surprising discovery I got on checking out the lobby after unpacking was the 'Iced Coffee Bar'. The receptionist told us they were the only Hampton to have one. It had a nice sign, coffee container, a dozen Monin syrups, creamer, ice bucket, cups, stir sticks, and napkins. See the image posting. My girlfriend and daughter planned to try it before we left early the next morning as I had understood from the receptionist it was available 24 hours. Unfortunately, it was taken down during breakfast. I'm not sure the girls even saw it. Other then missing out on the Iced Coffee Bar and not getting the token Hampton Silver Membership bottled water perk, this may have been our best Hampton stay of the dozen or so different Hampton properties we have tried. It should be the textbook model in management for other Hamptons to follow.

I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the hotel. The reception staff (especially Gary) were…read morevery friendly and offered us warm cookies, an iced coffee bar, and, my favorite, water with an infusion of fruit. The hotel had a very homey feel and the breakfast was wonderful. The cut fruit was delicious and everything was very clean. We used the laundry facilities which was very helpful and they even provided complimentary detergent. The hotel was very conveniently located to Bar Harbor and Acadia. We were there for 5 nights and this was probably the best Hampton Inn we stayed at during our 16 night vacation.

All rooms face the bay and have their own balcony. Lots of amenities including a gift shop with Belfast branded coffee mugs, clothing, stuffed moose, etc. A fitness center, a pool, hot tub and sauna, lots of lawn games including giant chess, and a back deck with couches and a propane fire pit. They sell wine and beer at the front desk and it was a perfect night of relaxing outside under the stars by the fire with a cold beverage. Our room was clean and spacious, the front desk employees were kind and helpful, and there was plenty of parking close to the entrance that led to the room. Though this hotel is on the other side of the bay and therefor a bit far out of downtown Belfast, it was still a great and relaxing place and I'm glad I made the choice to book it.

Location was perfect, 10/10. Close enough to Bar Harbor & Acadia without the traffic snarls, plus…read moreplenty of Lobster Pounds along the way in both nearby Trenton & the Park itself. There is a paved trail behind the property for walkers and joggers alike. The only issue you'll encounter is trying to make that left turn to head South into Acadia, because with the two way traffic it's almost impossible without heading into the bank parking lot across the street, and THEN turning right to head South. Quiet factor: 9.5/10 - Ok, so you might hear an occasional door closing too hard here or there but the rooms themselves are well insulated. Plus, pay no mind to the railroad tracks outside the window behind the property. There is a local tourist railroad that is nearby but does not traverse through here. I believe they were once part of the Maine Central Railroad that was part of a bustling lumber industry in the late 1800's and were also famously used to occasionally transport President FDR to a private residence in Bangor in the 1930s, but (this) is a spur of that line that isn't otherwise used. That said, there are plenty of No Trespassing signs on it. Staff: 10/10. Kudos to the breakfast team who kept the Inn's guests well fed. Offerings were delicious, and varied each day, and they are to be commended. The dining room seats about twenty guests comfortably, so time your AM meal accordingly. The biscuits and gravy were particularly good. Free Otis Spunkmeyer cookies at check in, too. Plus there is complimentary lemon water, ice cream, and soup from 5p-8p daily. Value: 9.5/10. The free breakfast is a plus to any traveler's budget and was a big factor in me booking here. Closer properties to MDI and in Bar Harbor proper are at least 50% more per night and will offer you larger crowds, and no complimentary anything. Believe me...I already looked. If you have kids, the breakfast is a huge savings. Plus the property is pet friendly. Shower pressure is average. While there is a grab bar, there are no anti slip coatings or mats in any of the tubs, so be careful getting in and out. Plus the vanity sink sits VERY low for some reason, so expect to be hunched over when doing your morning hygiene routine. In room safes and ironing boards are a nice convenience that worked just fine, too. The place has just enough parking, is close to a SuperCenter Walmart in case you forgot to pack anything, and there are nearby grocery stores (Shaws; Hannaford's) too. . Housekeeping is done every 3rd day unless requested otherwise. Bottom line: It's noticeably a little more $ per night than most other Comfort Inn's you may have stayed at, but you get what you pay for, esp. in such a picturesque & renown part of Maine. Would recommend and will return in the future. Cheers!

Randomly stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for lunch while on our drive up from Portland to Bar…read moreHarbor. We sat in the bar area at a table and had the place to ourselves. The place is super cozy and rustic - all dark wood, fire places, etc. We had no expectations going in and we were very happy with the food and the service. The chef came by and even sat down with us for a bit to give us some dining recommendations while we were in Maine - he also happened to be from or once lived in NJ like us. We each had an order of the gumbo and shared a side of onion rings. The gumbo was tasty and the perfect portion. The onion rings were also really good with the dipping sauce. We decided to share a piece of blueberry cheesecake before we hit the road and had zero regrets. It was a really pleasant meal and I would recommend this restaurant if you are in Searsport.

Homeport Tavern has fallen so far in the last six months it should honestly file a missing persons…read morereport for its former self. The menu shrank, the quality tanked, and the prices shot up like they're trying to qualify for a Michelin star through sheer confidence. The mussels appetizer was... geological. There was so much sand in them my husband stopped eating for fear of cracking a tooth. When your seafood doubles as dental shrapnel, something has gone very wrong. Then came the special of the day: fettuccine with mussels, shrimp, andouille sausage, peppers, artichokes, and capers -- which arrived in the exact same broth as the mussels appetizer, complete with the exact same bread crusts perched on top like a practical joke. It genuinely felt like they took the leftover broth from our appetizer, tossed in noodles and whatever ingredients were within arm's reach, and called it a "special." The only special thing about it was the audacity. My husband's house made Caesar with "blackened" chicken was another plot twist. The chicken wasn't blackened; it was just overcooked grilled chicken wearing the name "blackened" like a fake ID. The dressing tasted store‑bought -- the shelf‑stable kind you buy when you've given up -- which is not what anyone expects from something advertised as house made. Our friends' cheeseburger tasted like it came straight from a freezer box, and the bun had all the personality of a dinner roll from a school cafeteria. Honestly, the cafeteria comparison is unfair -- cafeterias at least know they're cafeterias. The singer was genuinely talented -- truly good -- but the volume was set to "jet engine," so we had to yell to hear each other at a table small enough that whispering should have worked. It was like attending a concert you didn't buy tickets for while trying to eat food you didn't want. Service was a whole separate adventure. Slow, forgetful, and consistently off. Our server forgot multiple items, including onion rings that never arrived, and one friend didn't get her food until the rest of us were done. No apologies, just repeated reminders that they were short staffed, followed by more short‑staffed service. We tipped 20% anyway, which the server seemed extremely grateful for -- probably because she knew exactly how the night had gone. Homeport used to be great. Now it's a place where you go to mourn what it used to be while eating food that tastes like it's mourning too.

They had shaws for the cold air if you sat outside, and the portions were filling (especially the brussel sprouts as an app). We also had a burger and the pasta.

For breakfast we had a bowl that was Mexican inspired and a Classic breakfast with the most amazing maple sausage and a cheddar/chive biscuit. Homerun all around.
