We stayed here for one night after arriving back on the CAT ferry from a trip to Nova Scotia. The check-in process was a bit chaotic, with the front desk staff a bit confused upon our arrival. They pulled up a different reservation, almost charging me for five nights instead of the 1. There were dogs in our wing barking throughout our stay. The pool was understaffed and lacked adequate seating for the number of guests during the summer season. The room and bathroom were dated, and the windows, balcony, and elevator windows were filthy and filled with cobwebs. The bed was comfortable however, there were no extra blankets in the room. One bonus was the free shuttle service to downtown bar harbor, which made it super easy to get to shopping and dining. I would expect a higher standard for the $581/night rate. (not even ocean view).

Paid for two queen beds but got two full beds and a resort fee that’s not optional even if you don’t play tennis, workout or swim in the pool. Great views of the ocean and nice grounds.

The staff at this hotel were friendly and helpful and because of the beautiful location and proximity to town, we would stay there again. We were there at the end of the season so the staff and services were limited. However, that said, this being a Holiday Inn I expected at least coffee in the lobby all day, but it was only available in the morning. The breakfast buffet was $18 per person, a bit pricey and the exact same menu every day. We stayed 5 nights, but our room was never vacuumed even though we had tracked in leaves from our sight seeing. Our towels were changed every day despite hanging them up to use again - not very eco-friendly in my mind. Keurig coffee in rooms also not eco-friendly.

The hotel is really beautiful. The only negative things I have to say... There was no mircowave in the room. I was traveling with a 11 month old... There was no way for me to warm his food up. Overall the room and surrounding was very clean and well kept.
