    Shower curtain too short for the shower so the floor gets kinda wet.

    It was very convenient to walk downtown and leave our car since everywhere you had to find and pay for parking. Every night of our stay with listened to a beautiful piano player. Our towels were changed every morning since there wasn’t a very good place to hang them. The Looking Glass Restaurant was a very short walk and wonderful breakfast.

    Walk back to lower area from the bar/lounge was very dark and on the narrow road. No dinner option the days we stayed

    We enjoyed the balcony off our room, which made up for no water view. The bar was nice to have and the piano music was fantastic!!! We enjoyed breakfast ( & view!) at the Looking Glass when it was open. The shuttle was a lifesaver. With cruise ships in town there is absolutely no parking so it’s nice to be able to jump on and off the shuttle and go places in downtown and around Acadia.

    Bathroom window needed repair, made us feel a bit insecure and open to the sidewalk just outside the bathroom. No fan in the bathroom. No pen or paper left in the room.

    Balcony with ocean view was nice. Location, close to Acadia, was great. Room was clean, large, beds comfortable. WiFi was good. Nice body wash, etc. plenty of thick towels.

    Access to the property was confusing. The property is very spread out, and that is not clear at booking. Also there is no view at the "lower" rooms.

    Great location, comfortable, basic rooms, very nice common spaces and extras.

    Amazing location and perfect for getting to Bar Harbor and Acadia (especially Cadillac Mountain). The rooms are no frills but the beds were extremely comfortable. Perfect for a vacation where you aren’t spending a lot of time in the room.

    The bathroom was dated, small and a bit dingy - it needs upgrading, really.

    Room was basic but had everything we needed. 2 mins walk from the main hotel - The Blue Nose Hotel - where we could use the spa and pool and had a piano bar in the evenings, very nice. Easy downhill walk into Bar Harbour (although meant it is uphill to return!). A free bus service is provided though, we just chose to walk.

    Our room was next to a utility room where people went in and out at all hours. It was noisy. Also, the lights were so bright that our bathroom door had to be shut at night so we could sleep.

    The small balcony allowed us to sit in the morning with our coffee and plan our day.

    At first, I found it confusing to find where I check in and the drive is so narrow I thought it was a one way but it’s a two way. I also didn’t like how small the shower was. I was hitting my elbow on the shower wall while moving around to bathe myself and my face was basically smooshed onto the shower wall to avoid getting my hair wet.

    The bed was so comfortable and it was relatively quiet. I wish I had more time here to try out all the fancy facilities like the piano bar and steam room. I thought the room was very nice. Very cute. I had a balcony that was cool. AC worked great.

    Truly a Wonder

    The vast layout of the property, often hilly, without a car, was a bit of a challenge for my husband and myself, both reasonably-in-shape seniors. (By the end of our stay, however, it did get a bit easier to navigate.) The Shuttle Bus didn't come as often as we'd hoped, and we found ourselves taking cabs to Main Street quite often. We wished that the restaurant on site was open more frequently for dinner, and also on Tuesday morning. That said- venturing more often into town put us in the position of discovering new eateries and sights that we might have overlooked had restaurant access on the property been more consistantly convenient for all meals.

    The Wonder View Inn stays true to its name; the views were glorious! Our room was clean and spacious. The beds were really comfortable. Sunrise from our terrace was breathtaking. Staff onsite, including housekeeping, was excellent. Breakfast at the Looking Glass was quite good, particularly the eggs, blueberry pancakes, granola/yogurt/blueberries parfait. The servers are cordial and helpful. Dinner there, on Saturday, was also very good. My lobster dinner was wonderful. My husband's burger was overcooked, but immediately and cheerfully replaced for a perfectly prepared one when that fact was brought to their attention.The pools, both outdoor and indoor- were comfortably heated and clean. The hot tub and gym were great as well. And access to the live music piano virtuosity of Bill Trowell at the Bluenose Inn was a special treat, as my husband and I are both musicians. The chocolate margarita was heavenly:) And the souvenir shop was a delightful perk!
