This property was adjacent to a newer upgraded property but the unit we stayed in was marginally upgraded, thin walls, degraded furniture and a mattress that sink into a hole in the middle. Staff barely maintained this property. Way overpriced for what you get. Location was fairly good

I feel the pictures don’t tell the full story. This property is in fact next to another hotel, which is where you check in and has the pool facilities. The outside seating area with fire pit and bar is in fact only open for breakfast. Not what I was expecting.

The room was ok, extremely aged and the bathroom is like going back to 1960. But it did the job for what we needed as we were mostly exploring. The laundry facilities were helpful. My daughter enjoyed the pool it was just a trek to get there.

I’d look at other properties in future. The location is ok and Bar Harbor is walkable.

Wonder View Inn is a series of separate buildings with individual units spread over several acres. Built circa 60's/70's. It has been reasonably updated. It is linked to the much newer Bluenose Inn with shared check in/out and amenities. Pictures we viewed before booking were not of the unit we were given. Our building was called the Livingston and made up of 8 units...6 on the front side and 2 on the back. No view. It was roughly 1/2 mile from the restaurant and amenities at Bluenose. We had a unit on the back. The entrance was unpainted, weathered steps to a wooden landing. A door led into a foyer with a unit door to the left and right and a supply room door in the middle. The foyer was small where only one person with luggage could enter at a time. Pros about the room....clean, comfortable bed, spacious shower, good A/C. There's a desk with a Keurig and a chair just in the way. A mini-frig with a small microwave on top. A chest with a TV mounted above it...guessing 43\". An upholstered chair and king bed. Small closet. Bathroom was tiny. Shower took half of it. Sink was micro with a shelf above it. Hard to shave or wash your face! Printed TV guide did not explain how it worked. Staffer got channel we wanted. We did not change it during our stay. Entry door sealed so poorly that the foyer light lit up our room. Could reach entry doorknob lying in bed. Dead bolt only! Uncomfortable! Great location!! A developer will demolish it and build a wonderful complex one day! Avoid!

The rooms were clean, but extremely outdated the sister property blue nose looked much more updated, and better amenities. However, to charge 400 and something a night for these outdated rooms are absurd ……. If you are accustomed to the lap of luxury, you may want to look elsewhere, as this property falls short of those premium standards or any average standards at that

Location was just outside downtown but still walkable to it. Quiet, friendly staff, looking glass restaurant overlooks scenery and water views. Room in Livingston house was basic but nice hot shower with pressure. Good courtyard and grounds if you have pets in one of the permitted rooms. I recommend this place. Blue Nose Inn next door where you check in has nice gift shop and fitness room with indoor and outdoor pool all part of amenities.

The location is excellent for exploring Acadia National Park. The property itself is spacious, with plenty of areas to walk our dog. We also enjoyed breakfast at the on-site restaurant, which offers beautiful views. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay.

First, the location of this hotel is wonderful. Very close to Bar Harbor without feeling like you were in the busyness of the town. The parking was easy and check in was simple. The beds were clean and the shower had good pressure; however, the smell of the room was a massive problem. We walked in and it smelled like wet dog. We opened the windows and balcony door and it helped but the smell wasn't cleared until we determined it was the air conditioning unit and turned it off. The other major issue we had was that the hand soap contained wheat. I have celiac disease and it is not a small percentage of the population that has a wheat sensitivity or allergy. If I had not been diligent to check, I would have washed my hands with this soap and eaten food and very likely would have been very sick.

We had the best view from our balcony. The room was a little outdated, but that’s what made it charming, coastal cottage vibe. The room was very clean and the staff were so nice at ck in. We were steps from The Looking Glass Restaurant and enjoyed the view during breakfast one morning. Overall, a great place that was still close to downtown, but not right in the middle of all the busy.

Would NOT stay here again.

The pictures are misleading. We had to drive to the amenities (pool), they we're not near our room. This was not made clear in the listing in any way whatsoever.

Rooms look like they were original finishes, there were few if any updates. Absolutely not worth what they are charging.

On top of that, the person next door to us was stomping around the room all night.

When we went to return the key nobody asked us how our stay was or anything, they just said leave the key on the desk.

Our son was looking forward to sitting around the fire pit at night and it was closed off in the breakfast area so we couldn't even use it. The sauna was not working.

Negative experience overall.

Either update all of the rooms or make it clear in the listing description that you may be getting a room in a hotel that feels like it's never been updated.

Also make it clear that you may have to walk to the amenities and that some amenities may be restricted at certain times.

What a lovely older property. Our rooms had the ocean view and we traveled with our dog. Very comfortable room. Be mindful that the fridge is only a cube fridge. We had to get creative with stuff we had in our cooler when we bought some cheesecake. This is our second year visiting Bar Harbor and our first at the resort. I would certainly recommend it.

The Wonder view Inn, was a perfect set up for our two night stay. The shuttle for Acadia comes to the compound to pick anf drop off, though the timing is not always convenient or as per regular schedule like on a july4th weekend so a car is a must in this area. A few inns share the same lobby/ reception area and so you have a short walk to the reception area where they have fresh coffee brewing for the guests and a cool gift shop. The lobby a seating area and bar off to the side and the set up is like something from the 80s, really nice. We were pressed for time so did not use the outdoor pool or the indoor pool. The room itself, all of them on one floor, with parking right in front and a small deck/ balcony off the room. We saw the fireworks sitting on the deck. The water pressure in the shower is low but the room and bathroom were clean with good quality soap, hand wash and shampoo etc. We were afraid to use the coffee machine in the room since social media has shown us the alternate use for such equipment by some folks so we stuck to the coffee in teh reception area. There is a restaurant on site (the Looking Glass restaurant), where my husband and kid picked up some bagels for breakfast and they are an expensive deal but you will find breakfast options within walking and driving distance of the compound of inns. I would defnitely go back because it had a quaint resort like vibe. The Blue Nose Inn is the other one in the same complex and the Hampton Inn.

Not worth the price.

This hotel is clearly cashing in on its location while neglecting basic maintenance and guest experience. We found spiders and spider webs in the bathroom, the room, and on the balcony - something you simply don’t expect from a hotel at this price point.

The staff were polite and the service was adequate, but it felt like customer experience was an afterthought. A great location doesn’t make up for poor upkeep and lack of attention to detail. There are better options in the area that offer far better value for the money.

The location was great. You could walk to Bar Harbor or take the island explorer to avoid paying for parking downtown. Note that taking the island explorer back from downtown takes longer (5 min there, 20 min back) because Wonder View is the last stop. The room was clean and we had a ton of space in a corner room with two queens and a wraparound balcony. The indoor pool was a nice surprise. The outdoor pool was beautiful but it was cold and the weather wasn’t super hot so we only enjoyed it briefly. Check in and out was super easy, the staff was helpful and friendly.

Comfy bed with convenient parking. There are a few different buildings, so it took us a minute to find ours. (The evening staff didn't make a big effort to explain anything, unlike the morning staff that was all kinds of perky.) The location is more on the edge of town, which was appealing to us because Bar Harbor was people on top of people. Our bathroom was tiny and dated, but clean, so if having a big space to get ready is important to you, this may not fit your needs. We had a little patio or balcony we didn't take advantage of, but it was a nice option. The restaurant is handy and tasty. Try the grilled blueberry muffin.

Old rooms, detached from amenities, wonderful view

I will start by saying sunrise every morning over the bay was stunning, so the name did not disappoint. What did a bit was the condition of the unit and distance from amenities. It feels a bit like you’re staying at the forgotten motel. The hallway to the room is very musty smelling, doors are loud, blinds are yellowed and bent, manufactured walls are thin (so you hear the loud doors in the middle of the night). The hot water either takes 15 minutes or 2 to heat up. Our bathroom was very tiny, with no place to put toiletries - making tasks like brushing teeth and makeup pretty frustrating. I have a bit of a higher expectation that I’m not just paying (a lot) for a bed, but a place that’s enjoyable to relax in. The Bluenose Inn has the hot coffee, pools, and lounge, but honestly after a long day of hiking in the park and hiking back up to the room, we never made that last hike to the “real” hotel. It felt too far to enjoy, which was a huge bummer. We only saw staff members checking in and checking out. It just felt very isolated, and again, not my expectation staying at a hotel. The positives are that there’s reserved parking, downtown is very close, and housekeeping really did keep the place very clean and nice. I think next time we’d be far happier at the Bluenose. This place feels like a lot of love went into it at one point, and I hope that love and attention comes back in the update it deserves.

We had an excellent stay at the Wonderview Inn. Very close to downtown Bar Harbor and is in walking distance. Acadia National Park is right around the corner 🏞

it was a wonderful experience and I wish we were able to stay longer. It was like taking a step back in time staying there. The pianist that played in the bar in the evening was fabulous. The entire feel of the place was just lovely. I would 100% recommend and love to come back. Had breakfast in the looking glass and my goodness the view was breathtaking.

It was very hard for checkin as the reservation was for Wonderview Inn, but yet had to find and check in at Blue Nose Inn. Large property area made directions confusing.

Pulling in to Wonderview Inn, I found signs redirecting me to the larger property next door. The front desk staff was ok. She checked me in and handed me a map which bore little resemblance to the property in order to direct me to drive across the very large property to my room. There are multiple very poorly labeled buildings and only after 30 minutes of driving around did I find my nearly hidden room. The room is nice enough. Wifi good. Clean. Quiet. On the edge of the property mostly hidden. Reminds me of a place I stayed that put Expedia clients in the most remote least renovated room. In short, you can do better in Bar Harbor.

This is an old property. Upon opening the door to the foyer where our room was located, there was a strong moldy smell. Thankfully, it did not extend to the room itself. The building was very unattractive. There is no place in the bathroom to put your toiletries except for a narrow shelf-my toothbrush was knocked off-not much room there. The sink is a single on a stand. You have to hike or drive a very skinny road to get to the office where they have coffee and tea. There is a Keurig, but the coffee provided wasn’t good and we needed cream for the coffee and tea. The AC was a high unit directed by a remote without instructions, but we thought it might have heat also-it did not. The heat comes from a small electric fireplace. It did a good job, but actually a little too good as I had to awaken at midnight to turn down the heat. The bed headboard banged the wall when turning over. I’ve never paid so much for so little. We chose to do so for the location but it wasn’t as close to town as we expected and we still had to drive in and pay for parking. There was no view from our room or anywhere we saw on the property, perhaps from the restaurant? It was clean though and relatively quiet and we were able to sleep well.

The hotel property was nice - the Bluenose Inn area. Our room was dated and needed to be freshened up for the cost of the room. The staff at the Looking Glass dining was not very friendly. Food was fine, just not welcoming.

Wonderview as a name is a misnomer. This is a good old fashioned motel from the 50's that is in decent condition. The view from the balcony is of overgrown trees. To be fair, nothing stands out as bad but there is nothing to get excited about either. We stayed two nights and had no problems but if you are in any way having difficulty walking on unlevel terrain this is not the place for you. Advice we would have liked to have is this property has been taken over by the adjoining \"Bluenose\" hotel and everything is ran from there so avoid the meandering long and winding drive through the Wonderview property and just drive up the short driveway to the Bluenose to check in. Just don't draw any conclusions about the Wonderview until you actually get there.
