Atlantic Eyrie Lodge

We booked the one bedroom suite for a week long stay because it had a kitchen and a nice view.
Staff was friendly
Pool was nice
Good location
Breakfast was minimal– I suggest to add a waffle maker! Instead of French toast that is precooked and left out with the pastries. Also when mixing fruit do not put acidic fruit in with melon, it causes the melon to let out its juice and ferment quickly. The other suggestion for breakfast is to get plain or vanilla yogurt instead of strawberry.
Our room had two coffee makers, would have preferred a large stock pot and steam basket. The other drawback to having the one bedroom is that you are literally next to the elevator landing– which meant we heard screaming children, adults acting like children and the howling wind all night. The balcony has a divider between your living room and bedroom area not sure it really serves a purpose?
They hold true to the 24hour lobby coffee as my fiancé got it every time we walked by.
The biggest area for improvement was wifi– computer picked it up but neither of our phones did.

This was a good value hotel choice for Bar Harbor. The views of Frenchman’s Bay were beautiful. The free shuttle bus picks one up at the hotel or you can walk into Bar Harbor. The room was large, clean and adequate with a nice balcony overlooking the bay. The housekeeping and reception staff were friendly and courteous. There was a heated swimming pool. The continental breakfast was adequate. It was not a luxury hotel but the important things were met at a fair price. I would return.

We stayed here for our vacation in Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. 8÷1÷2015−8÷3÷2015. We had amazing views from our room on the 3^rd floor! The room was nice and clean. The people were very nice, knowledgeable and helpful about the area. My only complaint is the internet sucks! Big time! Also, the cable channels available aren’t that great either. We asked the ladies at the desk how we could fix it and they told us they use an outside company for their internet and they don’t mess with it. They gave us a card to call but we never did. I know normally people don’t go on vacation to sit inside and watch TV and use the internet but we have a three year old that needs time to wind down after a long day of sightseeing. It wasn’t the end of the world though. I just wish it was better. Which is why I rated this with only 3 stars. If not having a good internet signal isn’t a big deal to you then this place is great! A great value, the breakfast was good. All in all it was a nice enjoyable stay.

Second year we’ve stayed here and I’m a happy customer again. First, they allow dogs. There’s a $ 35 extra fee for bringing a canine companion. But the dog gets a little welcome package with cookies and care products so that’s sweet. There’s ample grounds and roads to walk pets, too. But be careful– the grounds do get professionally treated for pests and I didn’t see the one tiny yellow flag saying it had just been treated with pesticide until well after we had walked the grounds.
The rooms are large, clean and simple Maine décor… functional and comfortable. The view from the room balcony is spectacular. All amenities in room worked fine. Noise level is acceptable even when busses idled outside our door. It’s very quiet at night and safe to leave your slider door open for the incredible balsam scented clean air. The free morning breakfast is quite good… if you want healthier choices than sweets, they have boiled eggs, yogurt, granola and wheat toast. If you decline room service as I typically do every other day, they still leave you a bag of fresh linens and refills of everything outside your door at night.
Staff is super friendly and helpful with local knowledge. The heated pool was too cold for me, but others enjoyed swimming with goose flesh. Lol.
Parking is ample but spaces closest to the rooms fill fast.
I highly recommend this lodge for casual comfort in a beautiful setting.

Stayed here for our weekend trip to Maine. Felt semi-​special for a second because our room had a balcony but it turns out every room has one. Scoreee
Loved it though. I’m not a fan of homey, inn-​like places but this one was well kept, clean, and had none of that dingy, stale air most inns do. Plus the front desk staff were so nice, the elderly grandparents kind.
Onto the rooms. Two sinks? THANK YOU. I definitely needed that. Not to mention our room was massive. And a balcony with carpeted floors with a stunning view of Frenchman’s Bay? I can die happily.
They also have an outdoor pool that goes only 6 feet deep which I didn’t use. Their backyard is also really nice. It reminded me of a summer home in the Hamptons. We even saw a couple of deer come into our area.
Overall, we loved it and were happy with our choice. Glad we stayed here over all the other fancy schmancy looking inns near us.

The Eyrie is a great home base to explore the Acadia — Bar Harbor area. Nice value and location and I would recommend to any friends visiting.
It is located about a mile outside of the Bar Harbor Pier and there is a shuttle that picks up right out front of the hotel and drops you in the center of all the action.
The whole property looks like it was recently renovated and there are many nice touches. Really enjoyed the pool and the postcard view of the bay from the balcony.

Great place. Clean, friendly staff and perfect location with great views from our room. Excellent prices too!

The place is pricey compared to other hotels in the Bar Harbor area but…
1. There is a balcony, where you can enjoy views of Frenchman’s bay. You get a great view of the sunrise right off your balcony.
2. Staff is great
3. 24 hour check-​in, while many hotels in Bar Harbor require check-​in prior to 10pm.

Great place, feels like your at a close relatives place. Comfy, clean, and best of all Close!

Love this place! Besides the fact that the staff reminds me of my grandparents (this is a plus), the location is amazing! I can’t rave enough about this place… so imma give you a list of why this place is
1. When you check in the elderly gentlemen/​ladies at the front desk welcome you with smiles and maps all ready for your trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia. They show you how to get around, the best routes to use and a lot of tips for your entire stay.
2. The free shuttle bus in Bar Harbor stops every 15min right outside the lobby and takes you directly to center of town… which is like 5min drive away.
3. The view is spectacular! Although the hotel is about an 8 min drive to Cadillac mountain, you can set your alarm and open your blinds to see the most gorgeous sunrise all from the comforts of your bed or balcony!
4. The rooms are massive!
5. Everyone is so friendly… people are apologetic and they gave us no issues for borrowing an umbrella!
6. Free breakfast comes with fruit, biscuits, bagels, muffins, eggs, cereal, etc. It’s open from 7−10am but unlike most places, the food was still out at 10am! I’ve been to places that started cleaning up at around 9:45am…
7. The pool overlooks Frenchmen Bay — perf for a dip right as the sun sets.
8. Only about a 5−10min drive to entrance of Acadia National Park
9. They provide you conditioner as well as all the other toiletries! Seriously as a girl I rarely find hotels that provide you with conditioner…
10. There were two sinks in our room. One in the bathroom and one outside. Perfect if you have multiple people!
Definitely consider staying here… you won’t regret it!

It may not be fancy but its homey and I liked it. We stayed on the fourth floor so we had a great view of the bay (when it could be seen since the weather was less than ideal during our stay). There’s a free bus that stops here frequently if you would like to go into town but don’t have a car or don’t feel like driving and finding parking. They also have laundry facilities — be warned, however, they are outside and rather old. The free breakfast was very limited but ok. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
The only reason this place didn’t get 5 stars is because they don’t know how to properly hook up the wifi and there was NO signal at all in our room so I couldn’t use my iPad during our stay which sucked. Maybe people on lower floors wouldn’t have any problem but then you wouldn’t get the cool view, so I guess you have to weigh the pros and cons.
Stayed: September 29 — October 1

Can’t beat the excellent view if the ocean. Good value, not far from Bar Harbor. Bathroom is very basic, but there is an extra sink outside the bathroom that was quite useful for multiple occupants. Bed slightly hard for our taste, but sheets were super soft, and there was a soft mattress topper as well. Nice balcony overlooking the water too.

Wonderful staff who were friendly the minute which I called them for reservations. I really like the «feel» of this place — not corporate or snooty — feels family run and was very personable — especially considering this was a last minute reservation. Great bargain for the value. Housekeeping and cleanliness were not an issue, the room was very clean and included some nice soaps.
I had an ocean-​view room which was outstanding during the Summer. WiFi was fine, a little slow at times but was accommodating (who wants to be online all day long while at Acadia?) It is a tiny bit difficult to find which I would recommend GPS (had no problem) or a good map — as it is off Eden and a few quick turns off the road it was found. Very recommended! I love this place and will hopefully return.

It is hard to find a pet friendly place in Bar Harbor but the Atlantic Eyrie Lodge is probably your best bet. They charge a $ 35 pet fee which seems steep to me (they have tile floors so easy for cleaning up any fur). The view here is stunning and every room has a balcony which is a big plus. There is a pool as well but I did not get a chance to check it out. The room is a bit dated but the beds are comfortable. I liked room 101 because it was an end room. Parking is a bit tight so try and arrive early to claim a space. There is a shuttle bus that will take you to the village of Bar Harbor which is handy. There is a basic breakfast included in the room rate (around $ 165 in the summer) and cereal, muffins, bagels, fruit, yogurt, and french toast are available. I would stay here again but the big minus of this place is the REALLY SLOW INTERNET.

Nicely maintained and close enough to bar harbor village green. Good value.
