The 95-room Acadia Inn offers no-frills, but reasonably comfortable, rooms at affordable rates. The quiet grassy grounds have an outdoor pool, a playground, a picnic area, and ample parking spaces. Interiors have a chain-like feel and lack character, with dated decor and a cafeteria vibe in the dining area, but rooms are bright and clean. Wi-Fi and breakfast are free, and there are seasonal shuttles that stop right outside and take guests to downtown Bar Harbor.

This upper-middle-range hotel is one of the pricier options in Bar Harbor, and one of the only options with expansive views of Frenchman Bay. Rooms have slightly fussy and very dated traditional style (expect lots of floral prints, and wall-to-wall red carpeting), but almost all of them have at least a partial view of the water, and many have fireplaces. Guests can also take in the views over breakfast or dinner at the Looking Glass Restaurant, enjoy piano music in the evenings, or drive three minutes to Downtown Bar Harbor for more dining and entertainment options. Property features include a small spa as well as indoor and outdoor pools. Bar Harbor Inn is a comparable option with even better views, but it's often a tad more expensive.

Spread over 60 acres, Hidden Pond resort features 36 suite-like bungalows and two-bedroom cottages. While each has it's own personality, they are all bright, homey, and sophisticated, characterized by pops of color and lodge-like touches (such as stone fireplaces adorned with antlers, and a lamp made from a tree branch). The spa is set up to resemble a tree house, and free yoga classes are held at the organic farm (where guests may also pick fresh flowers and veggies). Another outstanding feature is the outdoor bar and grill that sits on a "sand bar," with chairs circled around fire pits. This upscale boutique hotel attracts couples with its tranquil environment and top-notch restaurants, as well as families with its cottages that include full kitchens and washer/dryers. The hotel also provides a free shuttle to the beach, which is just a five-minute drive away.

The Gorges Grant Hotel is a mid-range property in the waterside town of Ogunquit, Maine. While fairly large, the 81-room hotel maintains a bed and breakfast feel, with New England-style landscaping and a cozy lobby with a fireplace and couches. Rooms are spacious and homey, with armchairs and flat-screen TVs. There's a heated outdoor pool surrounded by leafy trees, an indoor pool with whirlpool, and an expansive breakfast restaurant on premises. While a little ways out from the village center, the Gorges Grant Hotel is still within walking distance of restaurants and shops, and a short trolley ride or moderate walk to the beach. For a waterfront hotel in the same class, travelers could try The Beachmere Inn.
