the bed room was small and rather tired, the door to the balcony was not opening correctly, the bathroom was old and tiny; but the view on the water and the delicious breakfast made up for these unappealing details. The location is great, about 15 mn walk from the town center, which explains the quiet surrounding (in town, it is... More

My review came over 4 months late. But so far this year, the Bayview has my highest regards. The view of the balcony was amazingly relaxing. The service was great. Once we arrived there, they had a driver ferrying us around town. After a long drive, that's probably one service I rarely expect from a hotel. I highly recommend this... More

Where to begin. We drove up here on a Friday having found the Bayview on Tripadvisor and debated the pluses and minuses of not being downtown in an overpriced turn of the century megaplex, or a relatively new property with no character at all. The point was to find a fair price with a good location and some character and... More

Beautiful view. Great location just outside of town - no tour buses. Terrific room, breakfast and, most importantly, staff. The Bayview far exceeded our expectations. We researched most everywhere else on the internet and were just drawn back to feeling good about giving it a try. We are glad we did and would stay here again over any other hotel... More

This past summer we drove up the coast of Maine and visited Bar Harbor for the first time. We arrived on a gloomy day and were surprised when we opened our door to our room on the second floor of The Bayview. The room overlooked the foggy bay and the view was breathtaking! Our room was spacious and comfortable with... More

It is easy to see why this is a Trip Advisor Top 25 for Service award winner. Our third floor room was huge, immaculately clean, nicely decorated and... More

We booked this hotel because of the references on Trip Advisor. We stayed in the townhouse that is located on the back side of the main building, up the hill past the pool. The bedrooms were on the bottom floor and the living room was upstairs with a great view of the harbor. Great kitchen, dinning room and family room.... More

Stayed here with my family over the Columbus Day hoilday weekend. Great accomodations and wonderful, friendly and helpful staff. Thomas was great at check in and giving advice on local dining establishments. The room was nice and big, with a wonderful view. By the way, Thomas is also a very good bartender and makes a delightful gin and tonic. The... More
