Staff was very friendly and welcoming! They were also very helpful about information about the town and things to do. The location was very good and we were able to walk everywhere in town and it is very close to Acadia.
Anchorage Motel was the perfect base for exploring Acadia. Excellent location for walking through the town and parking was free! The room was clean and the bed very comfortable.

Great location and service
Very convenient location with only a 10 minute walk to the center of Bar Harbor. Daily cleaning which hasn’t been true at any other hotel we’ve been to.

Great location and simple stay
The staff were kind and the room was clean and simple. The best part is the location, as you can walk simply and safely into town in just a few minutes. Great restaurants and shops nearby. My one recommendation is to get a room on the second floor. On the first floor, the ceilings are super thin, and when the little kid ran around above us, it sounded like a herd of elephants.

The property was in a great location, about a 5 minute walk to shops and restaurants. The only thing is we came back late one night from dinner and had no parking as spots in front of office were reserved but the staff assisted us and created a spot next to the steps.

The beds were full sized, not queen or king. The radiator in the bathroom was rusted and there was no ventilation. The bedding and towels were fine and it was clean.
