Grateful to have stayed due to limited options in Bar Harbor. Not grateful for the lack courtesy from staff and, most importantly, the lack of an AC that could pull moisture out our room. In desperation, we pulled one of the many dehumidifiers from the hallway into our room. Eventually, it became comfortable. Otherwise, the room was fine.

I would not stay there again. The resort was closing 5 days after we were there. Upon reservations we should have been informed. There was quite a few things your hotel was out of, because they did not reorder to take card of the guests that were there. It is unfortuante that guests at the end of the season were not considered important. I did not receive my $50.00 deposit back either. I was told that the resort was closed, and may be resolved next year. Horrible. If I could I would request the whole amount back. The food was awful, could not get cream and sugar for coffee. Several guests and I waited for assistance for just a cup of coffee. There should be changes when you continue to register guest, knowing tou are closing for the season. Susan Biring.

There were a lot of hidden charges not displayed on hotels.com. Ended up paying about $1500 extra compared to what hotels.com charged me.

We were upgraded to their sister location downtown. It was fabulous resort.

Check in was slow and they weren’t concerned. Business center and coffee bar was always messy. They had a sign offering hot cider starting at 4 but never had any. We were confused about the name because Regency was on a lot of things and town people referred to it as such. Room was ok but it looked like we got one of the dated ones compared to some we saw. Bed was comfy though. We ate at Stewmans lobster pound onsite the night we arrived which happened to be their last night for the season and it was good. We also were able to catch a free bus to downtown and their season was over our last night too. It was too cold to fully enjoy the property but it looked like a great summer place to stay.
2.5
Great place to stay! Not too far away from shops and restaurants but you will need to plan to drive. Bar harbor has plenty of parking. Very quiet and very clean
2.5
We absolutely loved the grounds, amenities, views, and staff. I do recommend the hotel look into some updating for the rooms. There were some items that were out of date and just didn’t give as nice of a stay. We had issues with the sound of pipes when others around us were showering. They would squeal like crazy but it wasn’t an all the time thing. I highly recommend and would stay again.

Got changed to Harborside Hotel a “sister property”. Not sure why or how. Think it cost me more. But just one night so splurged. The view was amazing, the hot tub was awesome and room service for dinner and breakfast!
2.0
Beautiful Grounds around the buildings. Kept up very well, although, as one that travels extensively, the hotel building is somewhat "tired" as I like to refer to a facility that is clearly relatively old with periodic updates.

Great Stay friendly staff, clean
2.5
The property was very clean, the location with ocean views spectacular. The property however could use some updating, the decor appeared to be a mish mash of styles from eras gone by. Additionally it seems that the staff was new or in transition lacking in customer service and helpfulness.
2.5
Excellent stay on the ocean! Staff were very welcoming, accommodating and kind. I had a lot of trouble sleeping the first night, needed to find a comfy spot in the bed but then night two I slept great! Traveling alone as a woman I felt very safe staying here which was important. Highly recommend

Staff was awful. The hotel website and hotels.com say the hotel has a concierge service, but they do not. When I asked if they had one to help give advice on things to do in Bar Harbor and hikes at Acadia I was told rudely they did not know and dont have concierge to help. They also rushed checked me in, didnt explain any of the extra charges, and sent me on my way. Very very unhappy.
2.5
Bar Harbor is busy but accommodations were excellent. Only issue room was not ready when we arrived at 4:30. Otherwise wonderful location. Had a good time in in Bar Harbor and Arcadia.

We had asked for an ocean view. We were told we were being upgraded to a suite. Sounded great, but it was not great! It was in a beautiful stone building, but there was a shared dining table, sofa and chair area, also a shared balcony for I think 4 different rooms of people. It did have a beautiful view! Roman shades were not functional on french doors to balcony, as pulls were ripped, so you couldn’t see the view from inside. One of the globes covering one of the 4 bathroom lights was chipped. There were very few places to plug in electronics. It just looked like a building that had been nice maybe 50 years ago… it felt old and tired… I don’t consider shared areas a suite at all!!!
Fortunately, the weather was beautiful during our stay and so walking outside to the restaurant wasn’t an issue. The restaurant BTW was very nice! We had drinks, dinner and breakfast there!
I was very pleasantly surprised that the pool and the hot tub were still open in mid-September! My other issue was I was told I would get 500 points for each day if I didn’t use housekeeping. I only got it for one night of our stay. Not a huge deal that I only got 1/2 of the promised amount of points, but still left with a poor impression.

We celebrated our first anniversary. They upgraded our room to overlook the bay where we were married. The grounds are beautifully maintained and our room was clean and comfortable.

We added the breakfast package with our reservations but when we checked out, we were realized we were charged for breakfast 2 out of 4 times. I went to the front desk to complain and they told me they would fix. I've yet to heard back and will be disputing the charge with my credit card company.

I liked the location of the hotel, it has a beautiful view of the ocean. Beautiful pool area and ease of parking. The building needs to be updated, especially guest room - needs smart TV, newer furniture, and microwave.
Housekeeping services were lacking. For 3 nights stay, my room was serviced once and they didn’t vacuum the floor nor wipe the table in the room.
2.0
Ice machine make so much noise and the door closing sound late at night and really really early in the morning.
And I don’t have anymore time to complained I have to go to work.

The property setting is beautiful. The Pool, Hot Tub and restaurants all look out on the water. Breakfast at La Bella Vista in the hotel was excellent. Had dinner there one night as well. Might have been the first Italian restaurant I've ever eaten at that didn't bring bread to the table before or with dinner. Not a deal breaker, but it is an Italian restaurant. The shrimp and lobster scampi appetizer was over whelmed with lemon. Lemon shouldn't be the star of the dish, other than that our meals were good. I would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again.

Was very pleased with our stay. Everything was perfect! Would highly recommend. The grounds were gorgeous, staff excellent and very clean and well kept. The shuttle made the trip even better.

Overall great. Rooms are a bit dated, but spacious and comfortable. The views from even the “pool view” rooms are wonderful. The property is lovely. The restaurant is meh, but we only had breakfast.

Great distance from bar harbor downtown and Acadia national Park with great views and food options even on the property
3.0
Good place to stop outside bar harbor and excellent location for getting into Acadia. The property itself is a little worn down and showing its age. If you’re looking for a “cute” place to stay go more downtown. Value for money though this place is great!
3.0
The location and outdoor spaces overlooking the ocean at the property are great! However, the room we stayed in was old, poorly ventilated, musty and in need of a dehumidifier. Rooms were not always cleaned on a daily basis. Front desk was confused about room assignment during check-in.
On the whole, it was ok. Convenient location relative to Bar Harbor downtown and Acadia National Park.

Clean, hospitable, great service.

When we arrived, our room was equipped with a dehumidifier which was noisy and required frequent emptying BY US. The bathroom was so humid that the floors, counters, mirrors and toilet stayed wet and slimy from the time we took our evening showers until the next morning when we were preparing for our day.
The staff was annoying. They repeatedly phoned us and texted us to confirm over and over again that we were, indeed, arriving that day. We kept telling them we were on our way. We arrived before 9 p.m.
When pulled into the parking lot to check in, we were pounced upon by the consierge, who told us that he alone had to take our bags to our room, then stood there waiting for a tip.
The room, whether because of the humidity problem or something else, felt old and musty. The carpet was ratty and the place was a dump.
When we ate at the on-site restaurant, we were considerably overcharged for our meal. We pointed this out to our waiter, who took our receipt and credit card and told us he corrected the overcharge. When we got our credit card bill later that month, the overcharge was still there.
But that's not all. This hotel charged an exorbitant amount of money for the room and on-site facilities, including an extra RESORT CHARGE, which seemed senseless since we couldn't use any facilities, namely the workout room because the Peloton required an existing subscription in order to be used.
This hotel was a MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT. Don't waste your money.
2.0
The resort was well located and had nice amenities. We enjoyed the restaurant and the pool. Our room was well maintained and clean but on the older side. TV, well the tv remote, was very hard to use. The pet fee + the resort fee + the actual room cost was a little shocking to me in the end. Was not expecting a $220 of additional charges at checkout.
