We have been at Aurora MOTEL. Yes, it is clean and nice too. Nice rooms, porch, bath... Location is perfect, a short walk to downtown restaurants. A few minutes from Cadillac Mountain, so the right stop to visit the park. Keep in mind that Bar Harbor is quite expensive: this Motel was not so highly priced. A good value for... More

Thank you for your recent review of the Aurora Inn & Motel. It was great to hear that the housekeepers did such a great job. Maureen and Georgia are fantastic at what they do and we are lucky to have them on our team. More

Loved this little inn. Very clean and centered in Bar Harbor, 5 min. to the entrance to Cadillac Mountain (where we went to watch the sunrise and the sunset) Perfect timing for Autumn pictures!! Only minutes to downtown where all the shops and food was. Very quiet street. The manager was very nice, had a very good stay there. no... More

This was a first for our party of 4. The inn is centrally located in the town of Bar Harbor within walking distance to restaurants, stores and tours. Rooms were very clean. Pricing is within range and the manager was very accomodating and knowledgeable of surrounding areas and sights to see. Definitely would be back.

We stayed here September 9-10 2012. It was a last minute decision to stay at bar harbor and we had no reservations. We enjoy staying at locally owned hotels that are not chains and this one fit the bill. It's a lot nicer on the inside than it appears. We were only going to stay one night but the owner... More

Ok first I must admit we normally stay in hotels or B&B's at the higher end of the market so this review is biased by that fact. Due to booking at the last minute we had very little choise in accommodations and I booked the Auroa inn and motel after reviewing Trip Advisor. Jerry the owner is very welcoming and... More

We stayed at the motel with the inn around the corner Nice location and close to town. It was quite at night. The service and people there were really friendly. We walked into town in about 5 minutes so we walk everywhere. We would recommend this place

I can't say enough of the Aurora Inn. It was a perfect selection, the room was clean, comfortable and perfectly located to walk to town and restaurants. But, I must commend the manager, Jerry, above all. He is a wonderful person to have, helpful, knowledgable, experienced, and personable. He was accommodating, even bringing us extra towels himself 10 minutes after... More
