Nice, comfortable motel on Eden St. near downtown Bar Harbor. Everything is expensive in Bar Harbor, and Highbrook was not exception. However, it was clean, and breakfast was provided right on time each morning. Minimal contact with staff. Everything was handled by text, although there was someone on site during the day. Kind of odd, but it seemed to work okay. One point of criticism is that our room was not made up during our three-day stay. Not a major inconvenience, but for $350 per night, you would think that the room might get some attention daily. All in add, I would likely stay there again.

The location is amazing as it is only a few minutes away from the entrance of Acadia national park and also very close to Bar Harbor downtown. Check in and check out process was very smooth and I did not have to go to the front office for anything. Fresh breakfast was delivered to the room daily and the staff was quick to respond via text. Rooms were clean and there was also a fan in the room which was great. The room also had an umbrella which was very useful as it rained during our staff. Would highly recommend this place !

Loved this place! The way you check in with an email and the code, super, saves wasting any time. Room was absolutely spotless. Hats off to the housekeeping staff. We were in number 8 which was handy for the reception and grabbing drinks and snacks throughout the day which was also very welcome. Never heard any noise from any of the other rooms and being able to park right in front of your room was great. Loved the breakfast too, it was huge and you could pick and choose what you wanted, pick your delivery time and then there’s a gentle knock at the door and voila. We took it out with us on one of the days and picked a scenic spot to enjoy. Staff we interacted with were lovely and very helpful. Great location too. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

This is our fourth visit to the Highbrook and it did not disappoint! I don’t think I’ve ever stayed at a motel/hotel kept as spotless as the Highbrook. We stayed in one of the mini-suites; bed was super comfortable, the motel is peaceful and quiet, and grounds are beautifully kept. We love the ease of placing a breakfast order and it was delivered hot and on time each day. Having a keurig and a variety of coffee and tea was very much appreciated, as were the snacks offered daily. We decided to extend our stay in Bar Harbor and unfortunately the Highbrook was unavailable. Staying at another motel, while a bit cheaper, confirmed our feeling we will ONLY stay at the Highbrook in the future. Thanks to Adam and the staff!!

We enjoyed our stay with the Highbrook Motel. It sits about 1 walkable mile outside Bar Harbor. Highbrook handles check in and all communications by text or phone calls. We found the motel extremely clean and well maintained. The bed was very comfortable, and room was pretty spacious. They serve breakfast daily to your room, which we found the food very tasty. They offer complementary cans of pop, bottles of water, popcorn and wonderful chocolate chip cookies for an evening snack. Highbrook sits on the free bus line which comes in very handy after you've worn yourself out either walking into town and need a ride back to your room or hiking all day in Acadia National Park. Our only negative, we didn't find the pillows very comfortable, but we were so tired from walking/hiking in the fog and rain daily, it didn't stop us from falling asleep. The staff we met was very friendly, we really enjoyed the Highbrook Motel and we'd attempt to stay there again if we return the Mount Desert Island/Bar Harbor area.

Highbrook is a gem! It was charming, very clean, and we appreciated the attention to details. The breakfast delivered to your door (at your choice of time), with many tasty options...breakfast sandwiches, blueberry scones, steel cut oatmeal...was so nice. We enjoyed having breakfast on the porch. We would highly recommend this family owned charmer and will definitely stay here if ever again visiting Bar Harbor.

The Highbrook motel is a great choice when staying in Bar Harbor. This is a family run motel and the pride they show in their motel is obvious in every way. From the automated phone app to the cleanliness of the facility. The rooms are absolutely spotless. The owners are visible every day. They are incredibly hard working and unbelievably friendly. Your breakfast order is delivered to your room every morning. We enjoyed talking to the owners daily. The location is perfect. You can walk to downtown Bar Harbor or take the efficient shuttle system. Acadia National Park is just minutes away. Restaurants and any thing you may want to do are all very close. I chose this motel because of all the positive reviews and I’m so glad I did! My wife and I would not consider any other lodging when we return to Bar Harbor!

My husbsand and I stayed here on a recent trip to Acadia. We enjoyed the stay and Bar Harbor very much. This motel has a nice location. They use technology for check in, ordering breakfast and they don't service rooms overnight but you can order additional towels etc. online. The room was adequate. I think the price is too high not to service the rooms overnight and I do prefer to interact face to face vs. via filling out online forms, but I understand not everyone feels that way. I just like to stay off my phone when I am on vacation and the setup here made that impossible. Overall though, it's a good location, clean and on the cheaper side for the area. I would not hesitate to stay here if you are considering it.

This place is a hidden gem. They are not a fancy hotel but they are perfect in so many ways. A+ for cleanliness and maintenance. Close to town and Arcadia National Park. Beds are comfortable and their Wi-Fi never fails. Plenty of usb ports and outlets for charging electronics. Check in/out was a breeze.
