Harborside Hotel Spa & Marina

Our experience at Harborside was one of true Maine hospitality! The accommodations are comfortable and classy. The location is perfect for exploring Bar Harbor and hiking in Acadia National Park. Most importantly, the staff is friendly, warm, and very willing to assist in creating a memorable experience.

Been to Harborside many times and each time the staff is wonderful. They are knowledgeable and friendly and go above and beyond for their guests.. The rooms are always clean. Hotel is dog friendly. Has amazing amenities. Can’t say enough good things about the hotel.

Everything went well until our third day of our stay. Upon returning from our downtown trip, water was running off of the upstairs balcony that has a jacuzzi onto below patio. I called and they said they would send maintenance which took quite a while to stop the water from running down to our patio. I called multiple times. I am paying almost 800 a night for my room. They bring me a cushion to replace my wet cushion and offer to take off the resort fee. I said comp me for the third night. No doing for them. If you pay this much for a room ,own up to your guests and admit crappy water dripping on my patio is not acceptable . I didn’t create this event to get a free night but make it right. Don’t have jacuzzi’s above ground level rooms!

At the resort with our tour group, we had the pleasure of staying here for 2 nights. Room with a view, right next to a pool and hot tub, free laundry machines, and room service breakfast to boot! It was also super close to everything in Bar Harbor. We loved everything about this place. We would definitely consider staying here again if we find ourselves back in the area. Big thanks to the resort for hosting Backroads!

My husband and I stayed for a week at the Harborside Hotel & Spa. The whole place is lovely and very well maintained. All staff from check -in through housekeeping and pool side service were great. There are two very nice pools to choose from and the view is fantastic. There are a lot of families staying there so be prepared for that. We would have enjoyed an area that was adults only - either one of the pools or a lounge area - to have the option of a kid free space on the property. Two things that surprised us- they do not have smart tv's in the rooms so it's the cable access only, and we could not order in room dining for lunch (breakfast and dinner only).
