It is amazing. The room is big, clean, and quite. Breakfast and afternoo tea are good! Have a beautiful dinning hall where you can eat, drink, and read.
There is a under-building parking lot, and you can park easily.

Perfect off season stay
Bar Harbor and Acadia in the off season is under rated. We had a great stay at The Pathmaker. Check-in was easy, quick and the young lady who checked us in was very nice and helpful. There's a limited number of restaurants open but the staff had put together a list of this open.
The room was basic but clean and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable. The complimentary breakfast each morning was a great way to start the day before going to Acadia. Susie in the restaurant was lovely to chat with.
Directly across the street is an amazing new restaurant, Brasserie LeBrun, which should not be missed.

Excellent, brand-new hotel in Bar Harbor
Brand new hotel in Bar Harbor so everything is extremely clean and new. We stayed during the off-season, so the hotel was mostly empty which suited us fine. Breakfast is a make-your-own coffee bar and then a choice of a sweet or savory breakfast that we enjoyed every day. I imagine the place would be noisy if crowded, but we loved that it was quiet and sleepy in December. The basement parking garage was great for keeping the snow off the car.

Hotel was super clean & centrally located. It’s away from the waterfront, so will be nice during the summer if you need more quiet. Also breakfast is served table service style, not buffet, so bring extra cash to tip.

We never got to actually stay here because the hotel wasn’t open for our reservation dates. They moved our reservation to a sister hotel which I plan to give a wonderful review to; however, the management of the Pathmaker hotel has a lot of work to do when they do finally get their elevator inspected and are able to open. They didn’t inform me of the change in reservation. I only found out because I came across another persons review ~3 weeks before our stay, and when I called the Pathmaker to inquire they were pretty unconcerned/unapologetic and said that we would be housed at a sister hotel.

Bait-and-Switch
BUYER BEWARE! Bait-and-switch may occur. We booked 4 nights and were excited to stay at a “new” property. The day before we flew out they called and said they weren’t able to have guests and they booked us at a “sister property”. The sister property was 30 years old and probably hadn’t been updated in 30 years. Smelled bad. Everything was outdated. Spiderwebs and spiders covered the patio.
I called the manager who bait-and-switched us at least 6 times over 4 days to try and get some help or some answers. She never answered the phone. We were S.O.L.!!!
The whole trip became full of stress and disappointment. Their solution for switching our reservation was a small discount.
Then, when I got Hotels.com to attempt a refund, the owners of The Pathmaker were “unavailable” so there was nothing Hotels.com could do.
Terrible experience!

You need a coatclose and coat rack in the room with hangers in the closet
You need to tell people ( before they book they have to climb stairs) we were ok but many would be extremely upset
We had an extremely nice hostess at your front desk who gave me an umbrella
When it was cold rain and I really appreciated it
So maybe buy a few umbrellas for clients

Pleasant surprise…... and excellent breakfasts
The Pathmaker Hotel was not finished in construction, so our stay was at the Inn on Mount Desert, a sister hotel.
The front desk servuce was great, the room was pleasant, spacious and comfortable. The breakfasts were made to order choices and were delicious and beautifully prepared !
