There is a gravel lot for parking, which is convenient since most restaurants and experiences can be walked to in town, helping you avoid the fight for parking. We stayed in the Charter Suite - I only wish it had been cold enough for us to use the working fireplace. That would have added extra charm! Kristi met us as we checked in and provided a warm welcome, even a warm send off by providing us muffins to go for our early flight. My fiancée and I greatly enjoyed our stay and are hopeful to one day return to Bar Harbor and Saltair Inn.

We stayed on the 3rd floor in the Beehive Suite. It was a bit of a trek going up and down as many times as we did, especially with heavy luggage, but we loved the room and the view!!!! And we never heard a single other guest during our stay. They have a great HVAC system that keeps the third floor very cool. And the bed and pillows were very comfortable. There is a parking space for a car for every room. When we arrived, we got a thorough welcoming from Matt. He showed us on a map some suggestions of where to eat. The inn is an easy walk from the town and about a five minute drive from the entrance to Acadia National Park. We didn't partake in breakfast, but saw many others enjoying it. They have a beautiful deck with plenty of seating, and Adirondack chairs in the yard to enjoy the stars. They keep the lights and music on all night, so no matter when you arrive home, you feel comfortable and safe. The only thing that we missed was access to ice. There is a tiny machine in the breakfast room, but that only makes enough ice for about 3 drinks for the whole place. We had to buy ice at the Circle K every day and keep it in our cooler in the room for our water bottles and cocktails. If you ever travel to Bar Harbor, this is the place to stay!!! Best view ever!!!

My partner and I stayed here when we attended a friend's wedding in late August. The place is…read morecharming, quaint and inviting. There's so much character and thought placed into designing every nook and cranny of this Inn. The front desk lady was very friendly and accommodating. Our room was quite small - barely fitting a queen size bed in the room, leaving minimal walking space. Our bathroom was also very small. It had a toilet, a small sink, and a very narrow shower. We didn't mind the size of the room because we spent most of our time hiking around Acadia. The staff at Maples Inn was very kind and shared some of their favorite hikes and their tips and tricks into finding the best experiences. The lobby also has a few snacks that are perfect grab and go for the trails. Their breakfast is also tasty, delicious and cooked on order! One thing to note is that they have 2 small, gravel parking spots on either side of the inn. They will also provide a parking permit for your car that will cover street parking during the dates of your stay at the inn. During peak season, I can only imagine how hard it must be to find parking nearby though.

You can easily walk to bars, restaurants and shopping. The personal touches and thoughtfulness each day by Walker are incredible. Also very reasonably priced. My new travel style is definitely going to be B&Bs.

This is their number one asset, and they treat it that way. The room highlights the view perfectly, and the grounds are impeccable. - The room was nice, clean, and everything in it just right. The room cleaning staff was excellent. - The extra touches were a delight: chocolate strawberries for our 34th anniversary with a note, the water bottles, turn-down service with little gifts. Little touches like that around every corner. - The breakfast (and food in general) exceeded our expectation. Whoever they have in the kitchen is doing a bang-up job. - The front desk staff was gracious, helpful, and prompt. The concierge helped us with reservations and itinerary. Top notch. - The shuttle was great. It made the hotel's distance from downtown a non-issue. - We had a minor issue with an overly-enthusiastic dog (remember this is a pet-friendly hotel btw), but the staff and management handled it quickly and professionally, again making it a non-issue.

Breakfast each morning offered two entrees and we always chose one of both to share, solo, or fight over. We loved all the options. We had 6 breakfasts and none repeated. Breakfast came with an entree, fresh fruit, bread, fresh juice, coffee/tea. I never left hungry, that's for sure. Our room was spacious. We had a nice king sized bed that was cozy. Our shower was nice and hot, which was welcome after a long day of hiking or biking. We could control our room temp so we had nice cool nights so we could snuggle with the comforter. Each day starting at 3pm, snacks were served in the dining room which was often homemade cookies, iced tea, chips and salsa, or nuts. A little sweet and a little salty. A coffee and tea station was available 24/7. Cheryl was helpful with her knowledge of the area. The place was spotless and the employees worked well as a team. Such a great experience.

Bubbling fountain...nope! Al Fresco breakfast dining...nope! Afternoon social....nope! Staff availability...nope! Staff leaves at night leaving guests on their own. Hmmm......an early morning fire alarm urging evacuation and not a staff member in sight to turn to! They offer complimentary breakfast at the inn next door but if your a single diner, they'll attempt to seat you at a table with strangers! Not happening! Housekeeping....doesn't happen until AFTER you check out! Guests are told to leave trash, towels and linen outside their doors for housekeeping to pick up. And if you leave bedding outside your door, be prepared to make your own bed! Happy vacation! The Bar Harbor Inn is literally steps away......you'll be better off spending your money there! As a note.....I noticed all the favorable reviews were pre COVID. Please update your website to include inferior service!

The parking lot is small but we were able to find a spot. It's not the most well-lit so be careful when parking/walking. Checking in was easy, we called the number at the front desk and someone came to help us. We even got a late night snack (chocolate mousse) to bring up to our room. The inn is a cute, quaint little house that feels very warm and homey. Our room had a bed with a giant wooden bedframe and the amenities were clean and simple. We got a pair of super comfortable robes too! Now, let's talk food. Every day, you go downstairs into a cute little parlor/tea room. There's always a sweet option and a savory option, and everything is made fresh in house. I mean it when I say these were some of the best breakfasts I've had in my life! Pancakes, waffles, French toast, breakfast quiches... always with a healthy side of fresh fruit and some carb or meat. I seriously looked forward to waking up every day just so I could find out what the breakfast options were. My husband likes sweet and I like savory so we always each ordered one and shared. Again, seriously the best breakfasts I've had in my life!! As if that wasn't enough, they provide daily afternoon "tea time" snacks too! The baked goods were heavenly! We would 100% recommend it to friends and we plan to visit again one day!

We stayed 2 nights during the off season, and walked to nearly everything. The staff was all very friendly. If I had to make a small recommendation for an improvement, it would be that the curtains in the room were not wide enough to fully cover the windows. But that feels very minor compared to how good everything else was. There wasn't really any foot traffic outside our windows, so it wasn't a big deal, but if there had been you could really see in.
