great hotel overall! All of the staff in the hotel were very friendly. We ate at the restaurant upon arrival Friday night and then for breakfast Sat and Sunday mornings. "Gummy", the bartender had some great suggestions for rainy day activities. Both Mike and Kristen, our servers, were very professional and it was evident that they wanted to be sure... More

This was our 3rd stay at the Harborside Hotel. Aside from the location, this trip confirmed to us the other reason we like to return to this hotel, the staff. There is not a member of the staff that is not willing to go out of their way to accommodate you. In the case of this trip, Taolan was the... More

My husband and I stayed at Harborside Hotel and Marina June 1-4 2013. Great choice! The staff was very friendly, from the doorman to the receptionist to the housekeeping. The facilities are beautiful and you could not ask for a better location. THe price we paid was very reasonable! The only reason I did not give the resort a perfect... More

This hotel is a rare gem. It is located on the waterfront and has ample car parking (although we did not use this). We were courteously and efficiently greeted on arrival by well mannered and well dressed staff. We were more than surprised at the magnificent room we were allocated which fronted the water on the same level as the... More

There are two places right on the water in Bar Harbor, Harborside and the Bar Harbor Inn. Both are excellent. The staff at Harborside is surpurb. Visiting by early June or past August is ideal to avoid tourists. I have never been disappointed in Harborside after multiple visits. The staff, along with an always burning fireplace, makes the stay delightful.

Very disappointed. Paid extra for harbor view but had great view of the pool instead. Room was average but the bathroom was nice. You could write your name in the dust on the headboard and lamp base. You could hear every step from the people in room above us as well as the person in the room beside us coughing... More

The view from our balcony and the jacuzzi were what made the hotel special for us. Room was nice and the marble bathroom appeared to be recently upgraded. The housekeeping staff told us the carpet was brand new as well. Comfortable bed and nice flat screen tv were great. We ate at the hotel restaurant once and the hotel's lobster... More

We usually book pretty cheap places, but this was our first vacation in a long time, so we went for it. This place is gorgeous, staff is great, rooms are awesome, very clean. Location is right in town, and the view of Bar Island is awesome. When the tide is low, you can walk to the island. We checked in... More
