The Bayview Hotel

We stayed at the Bayview for 6 nights for a girls trip. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciated the attention to detail and individualized service that the Bayview offers. All the staff members were warm and welcoming. The hotel is located very close to down town Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Down town parking is tricky so we utilized the complimentary shuttle service nightly for dinner and shopping. The guest service manager even provided a ride for us to a whale watching tour outside of the shuttle service hours. Our house keeper left us salted caramels and cleaned our room above and beyond our expectations. The hotel also offered complimentary bottled water, coffee and tea in room as well as a snack bar. In the evening they put out a charcuterie board and had a full service bar. The homemade cookies were delicious and a nice treat after a day of exploring. The continental breakfast offered a variety of options to appease everyone including vegan and gluten free options. The rooms are spacious with direct views of Frenchman Bay. The bedding was so soft and it was wonderful waking up to a waterfront view. The bathroom was spacious and the carpet was very soft. The hotel overall is well appointed with charming decor and a cozy vibe. We choose this hotel as it is one of the few 4 star options located in Bar Harbor for our vacation dates, we are so happy we choose Bayview. This was by far one of our more pleasant vacations. Thank you Bayview for the incredible hospitality.

I'm going to take a second to review this hotel and I'm still on vacation. I'm picky and do my research before putting out money for vacations. That being said I can't understand for a second why anyone would want to stay anywhere else in Bar Harbor. 22 rooms all with a balcony and a view. Shuttle into town. Fast and convenient Leo and Greg are fantastic. Delicious breakfast every morning included. I am a vegetarian and the breakfast is vegetarian and vegan but even my husband is raving over the food. Especially this quiche croissant they have. Choc chip cookies in the afternoon with options for those gluten free. They even left two champagne glasses with a shareable bottle of champagne and a card for my birthday. And the beds are super comfy. Wonderful place with a staff that needs to be recognized!
