My stay at the Bar Harbor Inn was absolutely delightful! The views of Frenchman's Bay from my oceanfront room were spectacular and worth every penny. The proximity to downtown made it so easy to explore restaurants and shops. While the breakfast offerings were varied and delicious, I found the service a bit inconsistent during busy times. Overall, this resort is a gem for relaxation, with beautiful facilities and a serene atmosphere.
