Top Mount Desert Hotel Reviews

Island View Hotel Bar Harbor

8/10 Good

"This was an older motel but incredibly clean and well maintained. Staff was very friendly but there are no real amenities; Ice machine and vending machine. The rooms are small but clean & comfortable beds. Location was great if not interested in staying in Bar Harbor but close as it offers quick access to Acadia and not far from BH. Few things that wish they had was laundry facilities (hiking in Acadia would have been nice to wash clothes) Bathroom had sink on outside of tub/toilet room but offered very little counter space for use and ability to turn off balcony lights (stayed on all night). Great things - budget friendly without lack of clean and comfort, beautiful scenery and sitting on the water, very friendly staff, comfy beds and up to date charging stations on night stand for devices and in room coffee machine."
