The food was cold and late. They refunded our breakfast but the plastic and cold food left a bad taste. We also tried to make a couples massage and they only had 2 male masseuse and one female masseuse. Not practical for such a large hotel. The grounds were beautiful and can host large parties and everything is within walking distance. Not sure I would stay here again because it was an ok stay.

Here's what was not good: 1) The walls were so thin I could easily hear conversations in the next room and in the hallway. Not to mention the barking dog and slamming of doors that could not be closed gently. 2) They should not have charged a $35 resort fee when there were no real amenities offered. For example, the 2 weight rooms in the hotel and at the spa club house had basic equipment but the weights were insufficient for my husband. The only other amenities offered without an additional fee were tennis and the swimming pools but they were still closed because we were there in April, still the off-season. 3) The La Bella Vita restaurant food was mediocre and definitely not worth the inflated prices charged. Not to mention, our waiter didn't even know what a Chianti red wine was even though he was working at an Italian restaurant. 4) The outdated wall room heater and air conditioner was way too loud and we couldn't hear the TV without turning it up (I'm sure our neighbors could hear). But at least it helped drown out the neighbors and the barking dog. And can't imagine what they charge for rooms during peak tourist season but I definitely won't be back to find out.

Fresh fruit, pastries, and various beverages were also available throughout the day. Wifi was a little spotty.

What a beautiful way to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary!…read more The Bayview Hotel provided us with a room overlooking Frenchman Bay. We enjoyed sunrise views 3/4 mornings. (The 4th one was from Cadillac Summit.) Our room was spacious with one of the most comfortable comforters I've felt. We had a keurig machine, microwave, and mini fridge in our room. Appreciated the heater in the bathroom. Loved being greeted by the geese family on property in the morning and afternoon just outside our balcony. Our balcony had a couple of chairs with a table. We noticed the room beside us had a couch and bar stools in their balcony. While our balcony had cobwebs in every ceiling corner (lots of spiders on the railing), we were still able to enjoy the majestic sunrise views. They serve a continental breakfast every morning at 0700. Mid-day they serve charcuterie, cookies, fruits with refreshing infused water, tea&coffee. By far this was the most serene accommodation we've had. Calm and peaceful. They provide Adirondack chairs overlooking the bay. Friendly staff~ Brad at the front desk was kind in printing our Cadillac Sunrise pass for us & greeted us every time we passed the front desk. The hotel is less than 8 minutes from the Waterfront and about 10 min to Acadia National park depending on which entrance you use. All in all would return and recommend.

The huge room included a patio with a beautiful view of Mt Dessert Narrows and early morning sunsets. I loved the class that went into decorating the room. The real wood furniture, classy light fixtures, yet modern amenities (usb charging ports, key rig, fridge, microwave, etc) really made the room feel upscale yet homey. The room was very clean and I slept very well in that comfy bed! If you have a chance, spend some time in the Great Room listening to Bill Trowell, the pianist who plays most nights. Bring a snack with you, or buy a drink at the bar. Although we didn't have a chance to use them, there was an outdoor pool and a fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs that's lit nightly. There's also an indoor pool and fitness center. Next door, is the Looking Glass restaurant which serves a good breakfast with a beautiful view. The only negatives of the hotel (in my opinion) are a few minor things: 1. The rooms use an actual key (not a card). 2. It's kinda far from the walkable area of Bar Harbor. 3. The hot water for the bathtub took forever to heat up, and also get dangerously hot, so use caution!! 4. It seems like (from the other reviews) that the other building, Stenna Nordica, might not have rooms as nice as those in the Mizzentop building, but I don't know for sure since I didn't have a chance to see those rooms. So to be safe, book a mizzentop room. Overall, I would highly recommend staying here if you're ok with staying a few minutes outside of town, and enjoy beautiful views of the water from the comfort of your own private porch.

Primrose Place is fantastic. My husband and I love Bar Harbor and now having a dog makes our…read morechoice of inns limited. Primrose Place is new from the floors to the ceiling. The room was squeaky clean (one of their two dog friendly rooms) and felt like a sea-side cottage. Calming grays, cool blues, and cozy yellows. Linens and basic toiletries provided. The bed was brand new and super comfortable. There is AC if you prefer not to leave your windows open. It was also very quiet- I couldn't hear neighbors. The room was ground level, making parking a breeze. Free wifi and coffee in the lobby. The only thing about Primrose Place is it does not provided breakfast which is not a problem as there are wonderful breakfast eateries in waking distance. Speaking of walking, it's only a 5 minutes walk to downtown. #winning! There was a one time $30 pet fee. We brought our travel white noise machine with us so the dog wouldn't start barking while we went to dinner. We will absolutely be staying here next summer too!

I'll be honest, at first I was deeply concerned with the dog hair that was all over the carpet upon…read moreour arrival, but then we got up to the room, which was beautifully appointed, and in addition it genuinely felt so elevated so rich, it mostly substantiated the enormous price tag. Location is unmatched as well, right on Main St so everything is perfectly walkable. They have a coffee bar on each floor in the hallway, and your first thought is, that is a an interesting way to save money, however, it certainly is not because the amount of coffee that you drink on this trip, probably more than you'll ever drink at any hotel ever, because of it being readily accessible and constantly refreshed. They also make sure there's fresh fruit available as well as Kind bars every day. Shout out to the cleaning staff who are meticulous and make sure that everything is up to a very high cleanliness standard. And I have VERY high cleaning standards. Honestly, the only two complaints I would make is that 1) staff are kind but not welcoming. They don't go out of their way to say hello when they see you, but if you need help, they will happily assist. They don't make you feel welcome, but if you need something, they are innately compelled to help. And then 2) Hershey kisses are the offerED candy; for the elevation of the hotel it feels like something a little more substantive could be offered, but I'll forgive it. So a 4.5 star review can easily be rounded up to five; well done, West St. Hotel, we will be back!

At first I was quite impressed with the hotel. The location…read moreis great, the parking is nearby, and days prior to arrival they texted me to see if there's anything I needed prior to arrival. The room was well appointed and ready an hour before the check in time. There's a snack station on each floor equipped with cold water bottles, a nice selection of coffees and teas, fruit, and Kind bars. Robes are provided in the rooms, and the room service is from the nearby restaurant Paddy's. Prior to bedtime, we filled out the breakfast room service ordering menu and placed it outside. The first day was great. Room service arrived right on time the next morning. We ate and headed out for the day. I noticed later at night that they didn't leave another room service ordering menu. Figured no big deal, we'll just go down for breakfast the next day. This is when we ran into a few issues - we went down to the restaurant for breakfast at 930 and were told by a staff member at Paddy's that they were backed up with room service orders and she recommended we go across the street for breakfast, or there would be quite a wait. Okay that's fine - we had plans for the day so we ate across the street. A bit frustrating because breakfast was included in our nightly rate. When we got back in the afternoon around 3pm, I noticed the room wasn't cleaned. On the way out for dinner, I spoke with the front desk about housekeeping, and also asked them to make sure we get a room service breakfast order menu as we didn't the day before. When we came back from dinner - only one of the two beds was made. The bathroom floor was not vacuumed, and we didn't have our breakfast order menus. Again, I reached out to the front desk, who sent someone up with the menus. I mentioned the housekeeping issue to the guy who brought the menus up - he clarified that we would like to make sure both beds are made and the bathroom is cleaned .....yes. Felt odd to have to clarify that as this is usually understood. Later that evening we wanted to order room service for dessert - it was difficult to get someone on the phone. Ended up going to the restaurant to get the dessert to-go. The next morning our breakfast did not arrive. I called to follow up - Nicole at the front desk checked with the restaurant and made sure our food would be delivered. Our food arrived, though an hour late and missing one entree. Not Nicole's fault; she was excellent with following up with us. There seems to be some staffing issues as the one person at the front desk is always alone with seemingly a ton of things to be responsible for. I wanted to love this hotel, but the small things do add up. I ended up rather disappointed with my stay.
