We will be at Acadia National Park on Aug 20 for 3 nights. I hope to finalize our plans by this Fri & make our reservations. I have contacted many inns & B&B's in Southwest Harbor & am undecided as to which one I should book. They are all in the same price range. Has anyone stayed at The Inn at Southwest, Captain Bennett House, The Island House, Grey Rock Inn (most expensive)? Would appreciate any comments. Kingsleigh Inn & Lindenwood Inn are full.
Thanks.

We stayed 3 nights at the Bar Harbor Grand Hotel last year. The staff is exceptional; the free breakfast bar was plentiful and the area kept spotless. It's conveniently located on the main drag in Bar Harbor; great restaurants and stores nearby. Great place, I highly recommend it! Take a light jacket with you, even in the summer; it sometimes gets cloudy and drizzly unexpectedly, especially when visiting the park. ENJOY

We stayed at The Inn at Southwest and couple of years ago and found it to be clean, comfortable and quiet. Haven't stayed at the others.

We had a wonderful time at the Bar Harbor Manor.You can book a 3 days special including lodging,lobster dinner and whale watching excursion.Check on Google.Paul

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.
Paul, the Bar Harbor Manor package sounds great. I have always wanted to go on a whale watch but am hesitant due to seasickness. Do you think dramamine would solve the problem?

Karen, You do the excursion in a large catamaran at moren than 30 miles/hr.straight away from the coast to approx. 20 miles in sea.That's where we saw a lot of them. They have a marine biologist on board giving the comments. Very interesting.The boat is very stable. What you must take along is warm clothing.It can be very cold and windy specially at that speed.Paul.
