Wonderful

Light bulbs burned out in bathroom, told front desk and staff cleaners, never replaced it, did not empty trash at all and asked for clean sheets as the card instructed but nothing done. A bit disappointed for what they charged
The location of the motel is great, right in downtown Bar Harbor and close to the national park. Parking was easy right outside our room. The motel offers free coffee, water, tea, and snacks for guests in their lobby. I appreciated grabbing something quick for breakfast. The rooms are small and a little outdated but everything else about the place was great.
We didn't plan to spend a lot of time in our room because we had so much to do and see. Main Street Motel provided basic accommodations at a reasonable price. Our room on the first floor was clean and comfy, and we were able to park right by our room door. Safe location and in easy walking distance to restaurants, shopping, parks, ice cream. Friendly staff and 24/7 coffee, water and snacks in the main office. Would stay here again.
This location was amazing. Hot coffee and tea every day. Snacks always in office. The location cannot be beat. I cannot wait to go back. Friendly staff and comfy beds.
Super friendly and helpful staff, very clean room. Nice amenities included beverages and snacks in reception area. Sheets were on the rough side but bed was very comfortable. Such a plus to have parking pass available prior to check-in!

Way overpriced for what it was. Clean but bathroom worn and rusty, chipped up IKEA- level furniture. But a walkable location. Reminded us of an overpriced motel for a Big 10 college weekend.
Basic motel but clean and excellent location for walking in town. I liked that there was a fridge and microwave in the room and they gave out water in the office. Reasonably priced in comparison to many other hotels.
