We were so disappointed in this vacation spot. Desperately in need of renovations.. The bed was horrible, the furniture old green vinyl. Although clean, the cottage smelled musty. The threshold was rotten wood and I just couldn't stay there. Found another cottage for $10. More a night in Bar Harbor that was wonderful. The view and setting was beautiful but... More

While this place is not fancy, it met our needs. We were in room 11 in the south wing of the motel. While the building and furniture are pretty old, it is clean and comfortable. The main lodge building is newer and nicer but we didn't want to climb stairs. The staff was very nice and very helpful with things... More

I stayed here based on Trip Advisor reviews, and was very disappointed. My husband and I rented a cottage for 5 nights and found that the place was desperately in need of renovation. The cottage has a stained wall-to wall carpet, old linoleum flooring, a nasty old couch and vinyl chair. The room smelled musty and stale. We didn't ever... More

This was our 3rd stay here and the experience was much like we expected. The room are very basic with few extras, but we stay here because it's inexpensive and we really spend little time in the room. We stayed in room # 11 for 3 nights and the only issue was a dog in the room next to ours... More

What a great anniversary trip we had to Southwest Harbor. If you're looking for a quiet trip away from the more commercialized scene of Bar Harbor I can't think of a better place than Southwest Harbor. The Harbor View was exactly what we had hoped for. We stayed in the main lodge second floor, which was clean, spacious and had... More

After reading some of the reviews, I was a little hesitant on what we would get in regards to Harbor View. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We stayed in a South Room #8, which had a little deck and faced the cottages. A quick step out on the deck and you had a gorgeous view of the harbor. The motel... More

Waterfront inn, motel, and cottages in a peaceful village, an easy walk to several good restaurants and stores. Room 203 in the main building was ideal for a partly rainy stay, with a full, direct view of the harbor, a comfortable couch and good reading light for the dull days and a private deck for the good ones. Good-sized room;... More

Make a reservation by calling the hotel and have a map of the property in front of you (it's on the website) so you can discuss room and cottages that may be available. Motel rooms are in the large building and come with a continental breakfast (not great, but you can sit on the porch overlooking the harbor as you... More

After a long day visiting Acadia we drove in to Southwest Harbor looking for a place for the night. If you are looking for a Ritz Carlton type hotel keep driving...but if you want a clean room at a great value and awesome view stay here. This is definitely a old seaside village hotel. I forget the room number we... More
