Mira Monte Inn and Suites, Bar Harbor, Maine

2 star rated

Mira Monte Inn & Suites is ideally located in the downtown village of Bar Harbor, just an easy five minute walk from the shops, restaurants and the waterfront (which is open to the public by means of the 1/2 mile shore path). Yet its two acres of beautifully landscaped grounds provide a quiet, serene oasis where you can relax at the foot of a sweeping lawn, or in a secret, quiet retreat under the chestnut tree -- or stroll through two formal gardens, perhaps stopping to meditate on the delightful "smiling bench".

The thirteen rooms and three suites offer a distinct choice of decor, amenities, and price. All have private baths -- seven with double whirlpools; fourteen have fireplaces; fourteen have private balconies overlooking the grounds. Each room has a unique decor -- having been named for one of the old hotels that used to greet Bar Harbor's early, wealthy summer visitors. Each has modern amenities as well: TV, phone with answering machine, data port, hair dryer, iron/board, A/C, and individual heat control. Some also have a VCR. The suites have kitchenettes.

There is ample, lighted, off-street parking.

There is covered, secure bike storage available.
