Location, Location, & coffee! Seasider is a motel, which comes with expectations. Located very close to Acadia NP which makes getting to the park everyday easy. Short 12 minute walk to Bar Harbor shops and dining without driving/parking is a huge plus. The lobby offers selection of coffee blends all day, along with grab & go bars and bottled water - also a huge plus. Overall it made our quick trip to Acadia extremely enjoyable. Price is steep, but what accomodation isnt in Bar Harbor?

This was a great motel in a great location. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We could walk to downtown Bar Harbor easily and a short drive to the right took us to the entrance of Acadia closest to the Sand Beach area and the Ocean Path. (While we were there, there was construction, but normally it has easy access to Acadia.)

The Inn on Mount Desert was a treat. I stayed there on Christmas Eve, and was able to walk the Coastal Path twice, and a short walk, about 2.5 blocks, brought me past two churches preparing for evening services, to a charming boutique, Sagegrass Gallery, that was open, and the town itself, with its window fronts so creatively adorned for the season. The room had everything designed for comfort, convenience, and cleanliness. I especially liked the modern bathroom heating. Breakfast was served restaurant style, and was also excellent.
