Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My husband and I planned this trip with the hope to explore Acadia National Park. We did lots of that but also because of suggestions from Neil at the Reception desk - we got to have an even better trip. He highlighted some awesome experiences that Bar Harbor has to offer - The Shore Path, Sand Bridge Trail, and The Pajama Party (only happens on the 2nd Saturday of November) - that really shaped and enhanced our trip. The hotel was right on the main drag so we were able to walk to all of our dinners and to get coffee at Choco Latte. Plus the breakfasts were delicious. We are excited to come back again sometime in the future

So, this hotel is centrally located and the rooms are huge! The fact you have the ability to do your laundry, is also a plus. The staff was so sweet and gave us ideas on what to do and see. I wish we stayed longer, it was a great experience.

Overall I was very happy with my stay. Though on the slightly expensive side I would look at coming back here again. Room was quite spacious and very well kept. Breakfast options were good. If not for the frigid weather we would have enjoyed the place more.

Great hotel. Lovely staff. The location is great, just a little off the main area, making it very peaceful. Nice off-street parking. The lot was almost full and I believe the hotel near capacity when we visited, but never seemed crowded and was very quiet. Rooms were large and very comfortable. Controllable heating in the bathroom was great!

The hotel is quite nice, the room was very comfortable and quiet. The location is ideal for exploring Bar Harbor and all of MDI. I was disappointed with the unimaginative self-serve breakfast buffet given the upscale ambiance and price of the hotel.

Parking was easy, the location was ideal, the amenities were comforting (including umbrellas for rainy days!) and the staff was so friendly! The whole experience was exactly what you'd want out of time away from home.

Clean, quiet room, great bed and pillows, friendly and professional staff. No fireplace but that’s ok. Centrally located. Well maintained. The basics for a quick hot breakfast buffet, as well as yogurt, fresh fruit, breads and muffins.

The Bar Harbor Grand Hotel was fantastic. The location can’t be beat, it was easy for us to walk to the shops and to the waterfront. The room itself was charming and comfortable. The staff were all very friendly.

We were up for a quick weekend trip and choose the Grand Hotel because of their reasonable prices. They did not disappoint. The room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and also available to help. The breakfast was good and had everything we need to start the day off on the right foot. Location was ideal allowing us to walk to all the shops and restaurants. The housekeeping staff is tops. We did not realize that one of us had left their bar in tracker in the room. We got a call from Ken alerting of the item. Once we confirmed that it did indeed belong to us, they were happy to mail it back to us.
