- BRblindspot reviews5 days ago3.0We had one of our blindspot review specialists stay at this location and they experienced that the booking process was quick and easy, the staff at the front desk during check in/check out were welcoming and friendly, and the ocean view room was very clean and comfortable. Our only recommendations would be to have more toiletries available in the rooms.
- SKSuzan KudickNov 5, 20252.0It billed itself as a newly updated resort. Watch it was was an updated Holiday Inn with not many extras especially in the rooms. Also priced gouging for what it was. Location was good.
- KPKyle PattersonOct 20, 20252.0Customer service was really inconsistent. The lack of coffee creamer at the overrun coffee station was really frustrating and I left something in my room, called a few hours later, and they claim it wasn’t there. I’m sure it’s a lot to manage items left behind but it’s just upsetting that the hotel doesn’t have a process in place for this- they stop caring when you check out and are no longer a customer.
- KLKelly LeachOct 19, 20255.0We had an excellent stay at the Holiday Inn Resort Bar Harbor during October. One of the best perks was the free shuttle bus that runs from the hotel to other hotels and into downtown Bar Harbor. It starts early and the last pickup is around 8:45 PM. Highly recommend using it—it runs on tips and saves you from the headache of downtown parking, which can be pricey and limited to 4-hour spots. The full loop takes about 30 minutes, and there are multiple buses. You can even connect to other shuttles that go all the way to Acadia, though we didn’t need that since we had a rental car. 🛏️ The hotel itself was clean, modern, and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. We didn’t eat on-site, but the hotel has everything you’d need: two restaurants for dinner and one for breakfast. No lunch options, but we were out exploring during the day so it wasn’t a concern. 👍 Overall, we’d definitely recommend staying here—especially if you’re visiting during shuttle season. It made our trip smooth and stress-free.
- NDNisha DahiyaOct 19, 20255.0It was the best stay for us. We went and requested for early check in at 11:30 am. Front desk was very friendly and did offer us room within half an hour. Initially we got renovated room but there was no view and we requested for pool/sea view room and we were asked to pay 50$ each day for the pool view with sea view. We were informed that building doesn’t have elevator and rooms are not renovated. Manager showed us the room as well before we could decide. We didn’t mind no elevator and also rooms are big but old . All we cared was we got to see sunrise from our room and the view was all worth it. Every morning we woke up with an excitement to get a glimpse of sunrise from our room and we did see. We walked down one day to get a clear view and it was beautiful. If you don’t want to wake up very early and don’t get the Cadillac reservation, this is the best way to just grab a cup of coffee and walk down to see sunrise . Hotel is well maintained and very neat and clean. We also enjoyed hot tub. They have washer and dryers in the basement which is very helpful. Restraunt also has good food and view. If you own EV then they have free charging stations. There are couple which is very helpful. Room service is what we didn’t like. They didn’t make our beds but did takeout trash and changed towels.
