Grateful to have stayed due to limited options in Bar Harbor. Not grateful for the lack courtesy from staff and, most importantly, the lack of an AC that could pull moisture out our room. In desperation, we pulled one of the many dehumidifiers from the hallway into our room. Eventually, it became comfortable. Otherwise, the room was fine.

I would not stay there again. The resort was closing 5 days after we were there. Upon reservations we should have been informed. There was quite a few things your hotel was out of, because they did not reorder to take card of the guests that were there. It is unfortuante that guests at the end of the season were not considered important. I did not receive my $50.00 deposit back either. I was told that the resort was closed, and may be resolved next year. Horrible. If I could I would request the whole amount back. The food was awful, could not get cream and sugar for coffee. Several guests and I waited for assistance for just a cup of coffee. There should be changes when you continue to register guest, knowing tou are closing for the season. Susan Biring.

Careful of hidden charges
There were a lot of hidden charges not displayed on hotels.com. Ended up paying about $1500 extra compared to what hotels.com charged me.

Great stay!
Great place to stay! Not too far away from shops and restaurants but you will need to plan to drive. Bar harbor has plenty of parking. Very quiet and very clean

Good overall
Check in was slow and they weren’t concerned. Business center and coffee bar was always messy. They had a sign offering hot cider starting at 4 but never had any. We were confused about the name because Regency was on a lot of things and town people referred to it as such. Room was ok but it looked like we got one of the dated ones compared to some we saw. Bed was comfy though. We ate at Stewmans lobster pound onsite the night we arrived which happened to be their last night for the season and it was good. We also were able to catch a free bus to downtown and their season was over our last night too. It was too cold to fully enjoy the property but it looked like a great summer place to stay.

Great views, staff, & amenities
We absolutely loved the grounds, amenities, views, and staff. I do recommend the hotel look into some updating for the rooms. There were some items that were out of date and just didn’t give as nice of a stay. We had issues with the sound of pipes when others around us were showering. They would squeal like crazy but it wasn’t an all the time thing. I highly recommend and would stay again.

Change in plans - for the better.
Got changed to Harborside Hotel a “sister property”. Not sure why or how. Think it cost me more. But just one night so splurged. The view was amazing, the hot tub was awesome and room service for dinner and breakfast!

First Maine Trip
Beautiful Grounds around the buildings. Kept up very well, although, as one that travels extensively, the hotel building is somewhat "tired" as I like to refer to a facility that is clearly relatively old with periodic updates.

The property was very clean, the location with ocean views spectacular. The property however could use some updating, the decor appeared to be a mish mash of styles from eras gone by. Additionally it seems that the staff was new or in transition lacking in customer service and helpfulness.

Awful front desk employees
Staff was awful. The hotel website and hotels.com say the hotel has a concierge service, but they do not. When I asked if they had one to help give advice on things to do in Bar Harbor and hikes at Acadia I was told rudely they did not know and dont have concierge to help. They also rushed checked me in, didnt explain any of the extra charges, and sent me on my way. Very very unhappy.

Loved it!
Excellent stay on the ocean! Staff were very welcoming, accommodating and kind. I had a lot of trouble sleeping the first night, needed to find a comfy spot in the bed but then night two I slept great! Traveling alone as a woman I felt very safe staying here which was important. Highly recommend
