The Pathmaker Hotel

Staff were wonderful at check in and Happy Hour staff.

Great hotel to stay in Bar Harbor

Nothing that I dislike

Location was good and we went to the land bridge to the island a couple of times. There were 2 beds in our room which was spacious and had a bathtub. Bathroom towels were nice and coffee and hot. Chocolate in the lobby every day.

For charging over $600 a night, I thought this was an atrocious choice. There is no closet and no basic hotel amenities like slippers or bathrobes that come with rooms that cost a quarter of this. Understand that this is the end of peak season but having lived all over the world and travelled a ton, I was deeply disappointed in this hotel. Beds were extremely soft and uncomfortable for my back and neck. The pillows were stuffed into pillowcases that are too small further exacerbating neck pain after sleep. No fridge or water boiler or coffee maker in the room. Cheap low quality shampoo and body gel that weren’t even replenished the next day. The front desk receptionist who checked us in wasn’t friendly (very stand offish) which was strange since the people in Maine we encountered generally were friendly. Restaurant staff was very friendly and attentive other than one woman who was also very stand offish, strange. Breakfast sides were all prepared early so were rubbery and cold every morning. The entrees were covered in sauce of some variety (extremely over dressed) and not kid friendly. Only water dispenser we found was next to reception on ground floor and ice machine is in the basement next to the parking garage. Elevator got extremely busy during mornings so we took the stairs a lot. The parking lot on site was usually full so there’s a lot across the street

Modern and clean property. Breakfast was great and the happy hour was great. Our bartender was terrific and prepared some amazing drinks.

There was not daily housekeeping unless you specifically request it. When we did, the rooms were not cleaned until 3:00. We had to also request new towels.

The location is truly great and very good access around Bar Harbor. The breakfast menu was truly wonderful AND they allowed us to make minor adjustments to it. I held off from getting the cream filled blue berry French toast because I need more protein for hiking that day. Finally, on the 3rd morning I asked if there was any way that I could have an egg added to the blue berry French toast and she smiled and said yes, absolutely! What a mistake that I didn't have it sooner! it was incredible!!!! Truly! The small fresh baked muffins, while you wait was a very pleasant way to start breakfast off. My favorite was the blue berry one, but all the flavors were great. Thank you!

The property was 10/10

Location is fantastic, easy to get to, dedicated parking, clean rooms, nice onsite restaurant, courteous and professional staff. Decor is very modern and pleasant.

Parking is tight, larger vehicles are difficult to get in/out. Also, ask for a room away from Cottage Street - noise level is quite high if you're trying to rest. Our room was on 1st floor and people walking/talking on the sidewalks might as well have been in our room.

The bed and pillows are amazing and you can’t beat the location. Pretty decor. Cozy room. Restaurant in the building. Plenty of parking in the garage or overflow parking across the street.

The light beige hall carpets are already trashed/stained. When you get off the elevator there is no directional signage. You have to walk down each hall to see how the numbers go. The front desk agent was not very informative and no smile. Not friendly. The shower has nowhere to put soap/shampoo. No coffee in the room.

Loved the location - in town but not on the Main Street. Just close enough walk to shops/restaurants, but not too close. The staff were friendly and courteous. We loved the breakfast in The Ovens restaurant. Great parking included. Coffee in the lobby. No complaints whatsoever!

Can't think of a thing. Everything was great. Would definitely stay here again.

Parking, breakfast, bed

Room rate price is high for a noisy location across the street from Jordans restaurant that opens at 3:30am for delivery and commercial work truck people. Wow that truck noise was ridiculous. Dinner was disappointing for a hotel that should have been my best first night dinner. When I asked for cream for my coffee at the complementary coffee station I was told not today. I guess my room rate of $600 dollars a night was not paying for that cream for my coffee. When you charge these high room rates you should provide the best service. Its the little things that count. This is typical corporate owned property hospitality they count every bean. Next time I will stay in a quiet privately owned B&B on a residential street they give the best bang for the buck every time.

Coffee and tee at any time. Breakfast was delicious and the friendliness at the restaurant. (Bed comfortable and clean) o

I like it all, no complaints. Oh the air conditioner power bottom was not working, however it can be disconnected.

I really enjoyed our stay, and would definitely return to The Pathmaker should I come to Bar Harbor again. Everything was within walking distance. The building is beautiful and has classy decor, comfortable rooms, and friendly staff. The breakfasts that were included with your stay were absolutely delicious! The portions were substantial and presentation was beautiful.

Parking was a pain, and getting our stuff from the car to our room inconvenient.,,but really unavoidable. There isn’t much they could do, other than have staff assist with getting the carts from the basement and bringing luggage to our room. Fortunately we are able bodied, but it would be difficult for done.

Very clean and convenient.

The receptionists were very helpful, the bed was extremely comfortable, the location was great. A wonderful stay. We will return.

It was very close to downtown. It was super clean and the beds were very comfortable.

Great staff, comfortable bed and linens and a great location.

It’s a good location for being close (within walking distance) to restaurants and attractions, yet slightly away enough from the downtown noise. The rate included parking and breakfast.

The stained carpet leading from the elevator towards the room and the stained carpet in the room. The room design felt like it didn’t have a window, and one of the front desk staff ( I assume a manager or leader of sorts) should work on her people skills.

Everything was great. Could not have found a better place for us to stay. Staff was great, breakfast was perfect and everything was well taking care of. Our family couldn't have imagined another place to stay we would have liked better for our trip to Maine. Easy access to everything we needed.

Having to leave. This place is awesome. Just book it if you are in Bar Harbor.

This was a wonderful experience. The room was clean, large and comfortable. The complimentary breakfast was top notch (liked the cook to order options). The location was idea, just one block from the sand bar and easy walk to main street.

The beds were comfortable, but a bit too soft.

The facility is in great condition and is a short walk to several shops and restaurants. It is a short drive from Acadia National Park. The staff was very friendly. The complimentary breakfast was fantastic.

I absolutely loved the scenery and it was amazing how the hotel accommodates for 18 year olds, it was extremely helpful. The stay overall was perfect! the rooms were clean, staff was extremely nice and helpful! It was an amazing location, perfect for overnights!

Localização. Atendimento. Café da manhã

Location and proximity to downtown.

Soft beds produced back ache, room refrigerator that made unacceptable noise 50 minutes out of every hour, intrusive bar staff in training more focused on selves than patrons, desk attendant at checkout that wasn’t skilled at listening nor her computer, and insufficient surface area nor storage to unpack suitcase nor sufficient outlets or charging outlets.

The locations was perfect! The team was like being welcomed by family. We started with Britt and Janet at the front. Very gracious and genuinely inviting. Our first dinner, which was fabulous Happy Hour served by James. Lwazi was the bartender, it was slow so he too came to chat and welcome us! Night 2 we had a real dinner, James it was great again! The food was so good we thought we would eat in for breakfast, Cameron gave us super service, recommendations of places to visit. Our last morning we had a lovely young lady coming to St Augustine for her wedding. These young people really impressed us both. The future is brighter than we think, I was inspired by them.

Nothing

La calidez del servicio y tener un pequeño/gran detalle como café, tés, chocolate caliente y agua siempre a disposición!

We loved the location, the cleanliness, and the breakfast!

There was nothing we didn’t like!

Room very comfortable & large. Afternoon cookies delicious. Free tea & coffee in the lobby. Plus delicious breakfast options included. Great location to explore the town. Free undercover parking.

Nothing!

The staff & breakfast

Nothing

Location ,Clean ,Breakfast , afternoon pastries

A small thing. Morning lobby coffee should be available earlier.

Location, very clean- nice decor. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Delicious breakfast was included.

The vibe is Quiet, laid back and comfortable

I would have loved to have a soaking tub in the bathroom

Clean, location

The bed was to hard

Room was great Traveled w my 28 year old son and he had his small separate space room 214 Super clean

The room was beautiful and it was a very comfortable bed. We liked the free parking and location was perfect.

I liked it all

The breakfast was very good. It was so convenient to have the restaurant inside the hotel .The location of the hotel was perfect. So close to all the shops and restaurants

Everything was perfect!

The breakfast choices were well thought out with a lot of variety. Although some mornings I would like something simple. (yogurt and fruit or scrambled eggs and toast). PpThe service was friendly and quick. We liked that their was parking included.

We were there just before the busy season, so the hotel restaurant was not open yet for evening service or drinks. However the hotel manager recommended some restaurants for us to try.

Very clean, fresh, looks new. Even the economy room was spacious. GREAT breakfast!

Common area for seating would be nice.

This hotel is a gem! Perfectly located in town in beautiful Bar Harbor, this hotel is more like a luxury B&B. We were here during a snow storm around Christmas week, and as our arrival and departure plans kept changing, the entire staff was understanding, accommodating, gracious and good humored. The included breakfasts were delicious and generous and were served in the hotel’s lovely Ovens restaurant. Our room was clean and spacious and well appointed. Special thanks to Tim, James, Georgina and Brandon.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay with great hospitality! Breakfast options were always delicious and beautiful bar to enjoy an evening in!

I am not sure what it is like in the summer season but it was perfect for a winter getaway....We had breakfast in the morning and it was very good way above the average "breakfast included" offering at a hotel. The location was great and room size was very comfortable.

New and clean room. Very comfortable. Parking under the building with elevator. Nice restaurant and the free breakfast that surpasses any that I have had. The people preparing it, really deserve a lot of credit. Good job

Clean and spacious room. Great location with fantastic restaurant

Just back from a fabulous stay at this hotel over Thanksgiving. Wonderful location/gorgeous rooms/excellent food. Entire staff helpful and well-informed. Deborah in The Ovens was truly delightful.

We were very impressed with the facility and all the staff

My husband and I had a wonderful relaxing stay at the Pathmaker Hotel. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that we decided to stay an extra day. Thank you, Kenzie W. for arranging that for us! The amenities are very nice including the clean rooms, the wonderful bath soaps, comfortable beds, and gourmet breakfasts each day making our stay a great value! The hotel is walking distance from downtown Bar Harbor and yet a quiet location. All of the staff made us feel right at home! Next time we make it to Bar Harbor, The Pathmaker Hotel will be our first choice!

This place did not disappoint. The staff was so friendly, our room was very clean and comfortable. The bar and restaurant had a great vibe and great happy hour prices. We were pleasantly surprised to find out breakfast was included and it was delicous both days. Shout out to the manager (I forgot her name) and to Donovan in the restaurant AND everyone for being so accommodating. We will be back!

Great location, clean and comfortable room and great breakfast!

The room and the hotel were very nice -- nicely appointed, well-maintained, comtemporary design. The room was quiet and comfortably large, and the hotel is right downtown. The food at the restaurant was also very good, and the complementary breakfast is a real bonus: It's a sit-down meal that is tasty and thoughtfully prepared.

The Pathmaker was a great spot to stay during the low season in Bar Harbor! The free breakfast was great and Donovan was super helpful and on top of it!

Great location

Great bed

Location was great. New build. Clean.

Noisy for the rooms by the road. The insulation from noise should be better being a new build. And based on the price of the stay.

Beautiful stay! The staff is very friendly. The rooms were very clean, they really thought of everything. Perfect location right in town- we were able to walk everywhere. Would definitely stay again!

Great place, beautiful room, excellent food! Walking distance to the center of town. Our room looked brand new. Very clean. It’s evident they take pride in their appearance and cleanliness.

The Pathmaker is one awesome hotel. We stayed here for a week during the fall and enjoyed our stay. The staff were very friendly and the room was clean and very comfortable. Breakfast is included and was very good; it’s not a buffet but you have several choices and is freshly made. The hotel itself is located on a street where there’s many bars, restaurants, and souvenir shops. From Acadia National Park, it is located just minutes away.

I don’t say “Outstanding” at many things but this place earned the accolades. Every single aspect of our stay was absolute perfection. The staff at the desk were all perfectly friendly and chatty, the wait staff at breakfast were the best we’ve had this trip, beautifully maintained and equipped hotel including the covered parking that was a godsend for packing while it was raining outside made this the best hotel we’ve been in in a long, long time. I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone looking for an easy and warm accommodation.

Amazing boutique style hotel in the perfect location for so many local activities. The staff is amazing and made everything so easy and enjoyable on our trip. Clean and beautiful with easy parking and access. On site restaurant and bar, The Ovens, was fantastic as well. Would recommend and will be staying there again for future trips to Bar Harbor and Acadia. 10 out of 10!

This hotel was one of the best we’ve stayed in! From the spacious room to the welcoming staff, amazing complimentary breakfast and location - really all superb! Coffee and freshly baked cookies in the afternoon, a lovely restaurant with awesome happy hour - can’t say enough positive things! We only regret not having dinner on the property!

Room was a good size! Bathroom was fine. Parking super convenient! Staff very accommodating and really nice. Super clean room. The breakfast that came with the room was outstanding, upscale. Hotel decor was really nice and created a relaxing environment.

The room was clean and comfortable. All of the staff, from checking in to my room to the server at breakfast (Donovan) were so friendly. I had dinner at the restaurant and breakfast the next morning and it was delicious both times with excellent service.

ótimo restaurante para refeições e café da manhã excelente localização

The property was beautiful and very clean. It was in a great location and the entire staff was so friendly. The breakfast was the cherry on top, absolutely delicious.

The front desk was disconnected from the guess while checking in or interactions throughout our stay, almost felt like we were interrupting them.

Perfect. Super fantastic for Acadia National Park.. There is no need to exploration this hotel. Again super super fantastic.

מלון חדיש ומקסים, המיקום מצויין, על הכביש הניצב לרחוב הראשי של העיירה, אבל היה שקט ונעים. מרחק הליכה למסעדות, לסופרמרקט ולחנויות. חדר גדול מאוד, מאובזר למופת, ונקי, מקלחת גדולה ומאובזרת, ארוחת בוקר טובה, שירות מצויין של הצוות

היינו שמחים למזרן קשיח יותר

Loved the nicely decorated comfortable room. Cookies offered upon checkin and we had champagne and oj in the room! Oh, and the breakfast was just amazing!!!

Nothing

Sparkling, clean new rooms! Staff was welcoming and friendly The included breakfast, wasn’t your ordinary buffet but a choice of several menu items all which were delicious and well presented. Hotel is conveniently located with a supermarket across the street and just a short walk to all the action. Parking garage below, which is a big plus as all the street spaces on street are pay.

We stayed at the Pathmaker Hotel on a quickly planned trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We made a late reservation through Trip Advisor. Check-in was easy; the staff were friendly. The hotel is very nice. We didn’t eat at the first floor restaurant for dinner but, the included breakfast was the best! The hotel decor is tasteful and relaxing. The room was clean and comfortable. We didn’t realize until we talked to someone at the front desk that the lower level parking area had a couple temporary spaces for checking in and an elevator access with luggage carts nearby. We utilized this but, had to park in the lot diagonal across the road. Both lots were full that night. The only thing that we didn’t like was that our room number was written on the dashboard parking permit.

Great location, friendly staff, and very comfy beds. The complementary breakfast was also delicious and many notches above the standard

Great location. Rooms were spacious. Fresh baked cookies daily were a nice touch.

Our room seemed to get missed the one day we requested service. Fortunately, when I found someone so I could get clean towels, they did come later to clean bathroom. Not sure why we were missed since we were gone from 10-2. Underground parking needs lights.

Location was a 10! So close to hiking. You can walk anywhere to shop and eat without driving. Relaxing atmosphere. Room is above average as spacious. Employees very courteous and helpful. Would def recommend. Only item missing is no amenities but we knew that with it being a boutique hotel. However the included breakfast was amazing and much better than other places we looked at booking. Very happy with our decision.

Lovely, newly renovated (November 2024) hotel in Bar Harbor! Our Premier Suite with 2 queen beds was roomy, comfortable and quiet. Check-in was easy and parking on site (underground garage and lot across the street) was a plus. The best part of the stay was breakfast - included - with half a dozen delicious choices, a side, fruit and strong coffee in their cozy, tastefully appointed restaurant. Great location, easy walk to Bar Harbor shops and restaurants. Sadly we were only in town one night! We would definitely stay there again!

What a great treat to be able to book a room during leaf season in Bar Harbor and feel you got a great deal, The Pathmaker is just a year opened since a renovation of an older hotel and this is a real find. The room was nicely decorated, clean and quiet. There is plenty of parking, convenient to many shops and restaurants - but certainly the restaurant for the best breakfast in town- all part of your stay. The coffee was excellent, a breakfast that equaled a five star BandB. Highly recommend staying here when visiting this beautiful part of Maine.
