Island View Hotel Bar Harbor — Hotel in Trenton

Despite the prior reviews given, I have had a totally different experience (literally just got back home yesterday). There is new management in place and let me say David is absolutely fantastic!

He greeted my partner and I with such enthusiasm and gave us cool vibes energy making our weary selves having done intense hike days prior to making us feel so relaxed and at home.

He provided us great food recommendations which is a door down from the hotel (still have to try it since we never got a chance to— meaning we will be coming back again for sure) and other great local spots.

Customer service was absolutely great! However, I do want to point out that there is no continental breakfast and we were also fine without too.

The room was absolutely clean and bed super comfy. And although it may not have the best appeal to some people, it was absolutely perfect for us. However, the best selling point was the ocean view from the hotel. It’s perfect to watch the sunrise and overall made the hotel feel like its in its own island.

They have the best hardworking staff and always reaching out to see if we needed anything else. Staff Blake was so sweet, kind and allowed us to give a little time to pack up as we were rushing to check out.

Overall, this place is a 5 star for us but did give a 4 star on location since this place is still a drives way (under 30 min) to the main Bar Harbor town and Acadia National Park. If you are looking for affordable accommodation, great nights sleep and within a reasonable distance from Bar Harbor, this is the place to go. Hope you enjoy your stay just as much as we...
