The Inn on Mount Desert earns consistently strong praise for its excellent included breakfast, afternoon baked treats, prime walkable location near Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, and its clean, charming atmosphere. The main drawbacks are small rooms that can feel cramped, occasional noise from street-facing rooms, and a handful of maintenance or staffing inconsistencies that prevent the experience from being universally seamless. Overall sentiment across the reviews is overwhelmingly positive, with most guests eager to return.
- Small rooms with cramped bathrooms and excess furniture
- Street-facing rooms suffer from traffic noise
- Inconsistent staff quality — some described as inattentive or unprofessional
- Limited breakfast selection noted by some guests; orange juice flagged as poor quality
- Minor facility issues: pool table unusable (no chalk/tips), gym described as inadequate, moldy shower caulking, limited parking
“Daily hot breakfast was a treat. Afternoon snack was much appreciated after hiking all day. Location is perfect — close enough to walk where we want but far enough from the busy aspect of town.”
“The staff seemed to be a bunch of kids playing around. They only spoke to you when they had to.”
“We found the room to be a bit small, especially considering it was the offseason. We spent more time in the room than expected, which made the limited space more noticeable.”
“The Inn is clean and nicely decorated. Breakfast was very good. The nice snack in the afternoon is a great touch.”
