Bar Harbor Grand Hotel

Perhaps because the hotel is fairly new, there are not too many reviews of it anywhere. I%26#39;d appreciate hearing from anyone who has stayed at this property. Is it noisy? Close to town center? Easy walking to restaurants? What about the ';packages';? Are they a good deal or not so? Thanks in advance!

Stayed there in October 2006 and am returning in August 2007. I was very pleased. It is not noisy at all because it is away from the nightlife. It%26#39;s five blocks to the waterfront, and all the restaurants are within those five blocks, as is all the shopping. Not sure about the packages. I do know that the room rates are on their website and I don%26#39;t believe they participate in any of the hotel discount websites, so you can do the math and see if it%26#39;s worth paying for the dining, tours, or whatever is listed.

What I liked:

1. As noted, everything was a very easy walk but it is away from the bars so very quiet at night.

2. Very clean and new.

3. Plentiful continental breakfast.

4. Great old-fashioned wraparound front porch with rocking chairs.

5. Excellent customer service from the staff.

Hope that helps! Feel free to ask more detailed questions if you like. Have a good trip!
