Belle Isle Motel

Easy access to The Park entrance

Buon motel, però per solo 2 persone, la camera per 4 è troppo piccola, non si sa dove mettere le valige, il servizio non è il massimo. Altro inconveniente per quelli col sonno leggero, metà delle camere cono a 10 metri dalla strada principale sempre trafficata anche di nitte

It’s a no frills motel. You dont go here if you expect a “hotel” treatment. Room is about the size of a queen (or was that a double?) with about 2 or 3 feet of space both sides plus a small bathroom. However, this place is perfect if you are not fussy and just want to have a place to sleep since you are more interested to explore the park (that was me). Food in bar harbor can be expensive so it helps that the motel has a microwave, toaster and griller for the guests’ use (this is not per room but shared by all guests). It would be great for families if you’re not really after lobster rolls every dinner. One night we were so tired from hiking and decided to just grab something from the grocery (in bar harbor downtown there’s hannaford) and reheated it in the microwave and ate near the bonfire. We really enjoyed the bonfire every night, you can hear the crickets and was just so relaxing. It’s an easy 15 min drive to the arcadia park (hulls cove) and to the commecial center. Tip: the general store in the gas station on the way to hulls cove has good (and cheap) sandwiches (we loved the haddock sandwich) which is great for bfast or to bring along for lunch (assuminh you’re spending the day hiking). Will i go here again? Sure. Im tempted to try the others nearer the downtown BUT the pricing will make a difference.

Good local shops. Excellent lightening storm. They also accommodated an early morning checkout.

The room was small but clean and well kept. The bed was comfortable and the in-room amenities were everything we needed. WiFi signal in the room was great. We were most impressed with the outdoor amenities, which included a beautifully maintained picnic area complete with umbrella picnic tables, a propane grill in fine working condition, and grilling utensils. There was also a kids play area, pool, and cabin with coin-op laundry, ice machine, vending machines, and kitchen sink. The property manager Tom was very welcoming and provided a roaring bonfire with generous amounts of firewood. It was easy to find and we had a fantastic one-night stay before visiting Acadia which was only minutes away.
