The staff were lovely especially Suzie who gave us good recommendations for local eats and kid-friendly Acadia hikes. Walk to town, good coffee at the front desk.

The rooms (bathroom in particular) were a bit outdated, but clean and what we needed. However, their WIFI service is terrible at best. And for some reason, fully knowing that they do not offer WIFI that can accommodate a connection for all their guests, they only offer streaming TV service. So needless to say, once everyone is back at their rooms trying to relax after a day of outdoor adventuring... there is not enough bandwidth to enjoy a movie without continuous interruptions nor to use phone or other connected devices. So if you plan to keep your kids quiet with a phone or tablet.... better bring a book instead and hope they don't hate you for it!!

The best thing about the Anchorage is the location. It’s perfect.. just a 0.2 mile walk from downtown Bar Harbor and all the restaraunts and shops. As far as the room, it was very basic. It had a fridge but no microwave or coffee maker. Another plus was the hot water came up right away. But I only gave it 3 stars because we saw dead and live bugs in the room.

The beds were full sized, not queen or king. The radiator in the bathroom was rusted and there was no ventilation. The bedding and towels were fine and it was clean.

Horribly small. No place to sit outside the room except for a small grass area with nothing but plastic uncomfortable Adirondack chairs. Housekeeping not great. Spills on bedside table not cleaned up. Carpet really dirty. Couldn’t open drapes without a sheer which meant everyone could see in if you wanted some natural light. Have to say bathroom was recently repaired and nice and clean. Linens were good. Bed comfortable except lousy pillows.

I've booked the last room over the Memorial Day Weekend when we've decided to leave the campground due to cold temperatures. It was the best decision and beautiful, welcoming and affordable place in the prime location. If I ever have a chance to return to Acadia it will be Anchorage Motel only. Thank you for saving our mini vacation!

Bar Harbor main street within easy walking distance. One staff person in particular, Susie, was very helpful. She is a native and was very willing to share ideas to see/do that was different than shopping in the crowds. We took her suggestions and enjoyed ourselves greatly. This hotel isn't new... they have kept it up pretty well, but it is starting to show signs of needing a major overhaul. It was clean and the staff made up the beds daily, which is something you don't find often. No coffee maker or microwave in room, although they do have a refrigerator. Outdoor doors and stairways. No elevator.

I’m not not an it was a clean property with friendly staff, but not truly up-to-date. Room was small. Easy walk to downtown Bar Harbor, which was nice. Very affordable. Free off street parking. Free coffee in the morning. Ice machine on site.

This motel is in a great location! You can walk into town and it’s a short drive to Acadia. The room and bathroom were clean. Staff were so friendly and chatty. They had free coffee in the reception in the mornings that was fresh. There was also a nice little outdoor common area - a perfect spot to enjoy a cool morning or evening. It is very much a no-frills motel, which was perfect for our stay.
