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.

Lovely accommodations especially when staying in a room with a view. Facility was clean and comfortable. Location with a huge plus fr walking Bar Harbor. Friendly staff, convenient parking and the best apple cider awaiting in the lobby for our return at the end of the day.

We loved our stay. Great amenities. Great atmosphere. Labradoormen! Nest bath products! Kind, friendly and happy staff AND amazing location and views. We would definitely stay again. The bed and breakfast option isn’t really ideal. Only in the hotel owned pub, with sometimes a breakfast wait. The food was very good despite waits. We came the last few days of end of season so it is possible some staff had already departed leaving limited restaurant staff.

Room Tip: Parking lot can be full but they will do free valet if so. Apple Cider in the evenings is AMAZING!

The location for this property could hardly be better. The views are amazing. The cruise ships cause some congestion, but also lends to great people watching. The rooms are good size and the beds are comfortable. In room bath products are of good quality. The beverage bar on each floor is a very nice touch. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. Our only disappointment is Paddy’s restaurant. We are not sure the real connection between the two, but it does not represent well for the hotel.

This hotel feels like luxury. Great amenities like free snacks and drinks. The location is great. The bed was comfortable l, and I’m picky about beds. The sweet dogs that live at the hotel and greeted us everyday was definitely one of my favorite things there. The only reason I couldn’t do all 5 stars is my credit card got hacked a month ago so had to get a new credit card. When getting there the lady that helped me was not very friendly about not having the same credit card I made the reservation with. I totally understand she was just following company policy, but I feel it could have been handled a bit more kindly. The rest of the time the staff were incredible. Also, we stayed in room 202. On Friday from 4:30am till 7am a delivery truck was right outside of our window delivering supplies to the hotel. It was so loud getting things in and out of it we could not sleep. All in all though a great hotel though.

Loved this place! Perfectly located, convenient free parking, spotless, friendly staff, adult-only heated rooftop pool. Paddy’s restaurant downstairs is great with a lot of wonderful breakfast options. We had a harbor view with a great little deck with rocking chairs. Nice little touches with amenities, convenient laundry facilities. This place has it all and we will definitely stay here again anytime we come to Bar Harbor.

We stayed here for 5 nights in September 2023 and really enjoyed our time here! This hotel is unique, nice and relaxing just like Bar Harbor…not fancy, so don’t expect that. They have a fire going everyday in the lobby and serve apple cider in the evenings. You are greeted by Finn the dog and sometimes Cason the puppy. Rooms are cute and cozy and the shower had great water pressure! We loved our Harbor View King room to watch the town below and boats. There are no coffee machines in the room, you share a coffee station with a keurig and nespresso with your floor. Although, I walked to the coffee shop “a slice of Eden” bc they are one of the first to open most days. The unlimited water bottles were nice for all of the hiking/biking/walking we did. We loved sitting by the roof top pool on top of the hotel and going to the hot tub at the Bar Harbor Club at night. Don’t overlook Paddy’s for food…yummy breakfast sandwich. Stewman’s across the street had our least favorite food…but good drink spot. Truly fell in love with Bar Harbor!

One of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed at based on wonderful amenities and customer service! Taylor at the front desk was incredibly friendly, upbeat and helpful. The pantry on each floor is a nice, convenient touch! Location was perfect and the pool and Italian restaurant across the street at their sister hotel were wonderful. Will definitely stay here again!

We absolutely loved this hotel. It was right in the middle of waterfront, all the shopping and restaurants and close proximity to Acadia. Staff was friendly and helpful, very comfortable beds and pillows. Loved being able to grab water, coffee, tea on our floor as needed. If you’re looking for a great view within walking distance to all the Bar Harbor things, and hospitable service, this hotel is for you. Added bonus the whole hotel smelled incredible.

Once again, our stay at West Street Hotel was perfect. The staff was so accommodating when I had to change my arrival date, at the last minute due to a health issue. Nichole, the superstar manager, and her dog Finn, greet every guest like family. She remembers our preferred room from year to year and managed to put family very close by. The hotel has everything you need for a fantastic stay. The room itself is comfortable, beautiful and spotlessly clean. The housekeeping staff is very friendly and helpful. There is hot fresh coffee each morning steps away from your room. The roof top pool is so welcoming after a day spent in Acadia. We are happy to have an adults-only oasis ( there are two great pools for families to use across the street), The hotel installed electric chargers a few summers ago so we can even charge up our car each night as we sleep. Paddy’s, the on-site restaurant, is one of our favorites and does great room service when you are too tired to leave the room after a long day. The lobby has a lovely fireplace and comfy sofas and we spent some rainy evenings just relaxing and chatting with other guests. Overall, the hotel truly helps make a vacation in Acadia the best time ever.

A great hotel! We stayed in two different types of rooms, both 2 king suites with views of the water. Excellent location within walking distance to all of the attractions. Each floor has a pantry with coffee, tea and water available 24/7. The front desk staff is exceptionally helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!
