Very disappointed for the amount of money we paid. Needs updating. The people above us were loud and the floor creaked badly. Parking was terrible. Lucky to find a space.

Perfect location. The Anchorage Motel is close to everything- shopping, restaurants and the Island Explorer bus stop which will take you to Acadia National Park. The rooms were clean and comfortable.

Great location, easy walk to Bar Harbor shopping and restaurants. The building is older but very well maintained. Our room was a nice size, very clean and bright. We also got a great price compared to similar places in the area.

Extremely convenient to Bar Harbor and Acadia. The coffee in the lobby was excellent, and I am a coffee snob! Staff was very friendly and informative.

It was in the center of Bar Harbor and everything was close proximity and the front desk was very knowledgeable and approachable. Also I left my watch there and they return it. Great place.

Perfect location and clean

Excellent location a few minutes walk to main restaurant and shopping area and 5 minute drive to Arcadia NP. All staff were friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. Room was very clean. Parking was easy and included. Tea, coffee, hot water, microwave and filtered water free in lobby. Mini fridge in room. Beds were a bit on the firm side but ok and pillows were a bit too stiff for me. Price seemed very high but is on par with other places in the area.

This was just what we needed for a quick stay. Nice clean room. Comfortable for 4. Parking super busy. 1 night it was a challenge finding parking but it was summer in June. Staff incredibly nice. Easy walk to downtown bar harbor. Food, shopping, sights. Grabbed ice cream a couple times and watch the sunset with sailboats. Quick drive to Acadia.

Uneven room service

They don't tidy up your room each day unless you complain. Otherwise, they only refresh rooms every other day.

There’s nothing fancy about this place, but it’s very clean, quiet and in an excellent location. It was exactly what we needed. Easily walkable to all the cute shops and restaurants in Bar Harbor. There’s a nice communal area in front with comfortable chairs that we enjoyed in the afternoons and evenings.
