Beds were clean as was bathroom. Floor hadn’t been vacuumed in quite a while. Neither had those in the hallways or communal areas. Half of the rooms in the island view Inn don’t have a Half of the rooms in the island view Inn don’t have an island view and there’s no mention of that on the website. Biggest problem was ran out of hot water the second night and into the second morning. No response from housekeeping or the front desk. Highly disappointed. Would not recommend for that reason. Spend your energy researching other places. There’s plenty of them.

The staff at check in were friendly. The hallway leading up to the room and the room were pretty rundown. Drained drapes carpet and the microwave was in the hall landing. Strange set up.

We booked and paid through Expedia and the hotel charged my debit card again when we got there. The room was paid already with my husbands credit card. So we will see if this will be fixed.

Give it a try.

Although apparently, in the past, this place has received poor ratings, they have recently renovated, and it is very good. The front desk staff and the other staff were very friendly.

July stay

Staff: Friendly and fast check in. Room: Hotel is pretty dated. The AC is strong but pointed directly at the side of the bed so whoever sleeps on that side might feel freezing while the other side of the bed feels comfortably cool. I put a pillow up to block the air since I was the one on that side. Bathroom: Sink was small and only big enough for one person to put toiletries on. The shower was missing the soap tray (the wall anchors were there so it must have fallen off at some point recently). There was a hole were a towel bar was previously, guess they hadn't patched up the screw and wall anchor hole yet. The water is hot and has good pressure. Amenties: Free parking. Well off the main road so it will be quiet. Right next to the water. Island View isn't bad for the price. "A 2 star hotel around the corner to Acadia national park and a 15-20 min drive to downtown Bar Harbor" is accurate.

Good, a alternative the $$$ in Bar Harbor

It was good. I probably overplayed for what I got but it’s the high season in a vacation destination. The room was good. Comfortable beds, good a/c, nice tv, WiFi worked great, and a good location. Ok, 2 things got me. No daily maid service? I know this was a Covid thing - didn’t realize some properties are still not servicing room daily. We were the 3 nights, trash cans were overflowed, ran short on supplies like TP and soaps,etc. We were on the second floor, the northern steps should be immediately torn down.They are certainly not up to code and are separating from the exterior of the building. Railings are there but inadequate. I don’t know about the other set of steps and there is no elevator. I would recommend a first level accommodation. Overall good, but….

Most of the hotels in the area are older, I found that the towels and bedding were very new in this hotel. We were able to extend our stay which was nice. The guy working the front desk was very friendly and helpful with our stay. Would go back again.
