    welcoming staff
    modest amenities

    The rooms were comfortable and clean, though the

    overall amenities were modest. The staff was exceptionally welcoming, providing helpful recommendations for local sights and making check-in a breeze. The landscaping added charm, and it was easy to stroll into town, but the absence of breakfast options may disappoint some.

    free coffee
    tea

    This place was just a good match for exploring town in Bar Harbor with good value. They had endless free coffee and tea available, which was great after long days of hiking. Try to grab a room facing the porch for a peaceful moment in the morning.

    The location was perfect for exploring Bar Harbor, and the staff's local recommendations led us to hidden gems for dining. The common area coffee bar made early mornings enjoyable after watching the sunrise.

    I shoudlve been greeted with complimentary breakfast, not having it was an absolute disaster. The windows were sealed shut, forcing me to scream for fresh air all night while the neighbors blasted their noisy air conditions! Almost wrote a good review, but the worst treatment woudl ve been too tragic to ignore!

    clean facilities
    attractive landscaping
    ventilation issues

    Clean facilities with attractive landscaping out front, highlighted by vibrant flowers that you can enjoy while sitting on the porch. The outdoor seating area is a nice bonus, perfect for some morning tranquility.

    Windows are sealed shut due to a mosquito net, which makes ventilation a bit tricky. had to leave the door open for fresh air and faced some noise from neighboring air conditioning units. Considering the price point, the absence of breakfast feels like a letdown, especially since it seems to be a common issue for this area.

    Couple’s Relaxation Spot

    The place gives off a serene vibe, perfect for unwinding from all the chaos. We enjoyed two chairs right outside our door, ideal for sipping morning coffee while soaking in the fresh air.

    It wasn't exactly a bargain, but the overall experience made it well worth the cost.

    The Island Place Motel offers a great value with clean and updated rooms. The location is superb, just a 10-15 minute walk from downtown Bar Harbor and only a short drive to Acadia National Park. The outdoor common room features a coffee maker and fridge, making it convenient for guests. Staff were welcoming and had helpful recommendations for local dining options.

    Limited amenities.

    I stayed for 2 nights in the Deluxe Queen Room, and it was super clean and comfortable. The common room with coffee and a refrigerator was a nice bonus—really convenient! Plus, being just a short walk from town made exploring easy. The only downside was that the windows were sealed shut, so ventilation was tricky.
