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 Bar Harbor location
Motel style with room entry for my exterior door on the upstairs walkway. The room was quite spacious and comfortable. Location was great with easy walking to the downtown Bar Harbor area for restaurants. Plentiful parking. No breakfast provided but they did have 2417 tea and coffee in the lobby and the people working at the front desk were very friendly. Kudos to Susie for her friendly manner first thing in the morning

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 Anchorage was in a convenient location close to the main street. We had a king room. The bed was very comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was great.
Michelle and Susan were helpful. All of the staff we met were terrific.
It was a very nice stay.

Nice visit
The location of this hotel was excellent. It is not fancy, but perfect of you are spending all your time outdoors all day. Water filler and coffee in office available all day. Front desk very helpful and conversational. We had two rooms and my husband had aome bugs in his room, otherwise I felt rooms were clean and kept up quite well for an older property. Worth the money spent for location!

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.
