West Street Hotel Questions?

Thinking about booking October 5th and 6th, is the Pool heated in the West Street, or even open, that late in the year? also how much is the resort fee? thoughts on this lodging? Thanks

The West Street Hotel in Bar Harbor is a popular choice for its convenient location near downtown, modern amenities, and comfortable rooms. Visiting in early October, you’ll enjoy fewer crowds than peak summer, but some seasonal services may be reduced.

Regarding the pool: the West Street Hotel does have an indoor pool, which is typically heated. However, by early October, some hotels in Bar Harbor begin seasonal maintenance or reduce pool hours, so it’s always best to confirm directly with the hotel before booking. Most reports indicate the indoor pool is open and heated through early October, but outdoor pools or spa facilities may be closed for the season.

As for the resort fee, the West Street Hotel charges a daily resort fee that covers amenities such as Wi-Fi, fitness center access, parking, and local shuttle service. The amount can vary depending on the season and booking channel, but it is typically around $20–$25 per night. Again, checking directly with the hotel at the time of booking is the best way to confirm the exact fee for your dates.

Overall thoughts on the West Street Hotel:

  • Great downtown location within walking distance to restaurants, shops, and the waterfront.
  • Modern, clean rooms with comfortable beds and nice views on higher floors.
  • Indoor heated pool is convenient if you enjoy swimming year-round.
  • Good value for mid-October when rates drop slightly after summer peak.
  • Friendly staff, and easy access to Acadia National Park for sightseeing.

Considerations:

  • Resort fee adds to the nightly cost—factor this into your budget.
  • Check pool hours and availability if swimming is a priority.
  • Parking is included, but space can be limited—reserve in advance if possible.

In summary, the West Street Hotel is a convenient and comfortable option for early October stays in Bar Harbor. Confirm the pool availability and resort fee when booking, but most travelers find it a very solid choice for exploring both downtown and Acadia National Park.
