The Inn on Mount Desert is a unique place with fairly decent size rooms, that are clean, and updated. The staff adds a comfort to the inn as well. Each of the staff members I chatted with were incredibly friendly and helpful, especially the innkeeper, she was a delight to talk to. My wife and I plan on coming back again on our next trip to Bar Harbor.

Very friendly atmosphere. Limited offerings for breakfast but they were cooked freshly and were delicious. There were freshly baked goods available to guests as well as unlimited drinks, tea & coffee. Quite a homely feel to the place. The maid service was optional and as we are conscious of the environment we chose not to have sheets or towels changed during our stay and were happy to have that option. The location was very central and overall we had a great stay. Fiona Leahy
