Bar Harbor, ME motel market

The Bar Harbor lodging market, by the numbers

According to the US Census Bureau's County Business Patterns (2022), Hancock County — which contains Bar Harbor — has 124 accommodation establishments employing 624 people. Of those, 103 are traveler-accommodation businesses and 58 are hotels and motels specifically. Most are small, owner-operated properties competing for the same calls — independents like Two Cats Inn, Hanscom's Motel, and Bar Harbor Villager Motel sit on the same booking searches as the national chains, but without a 24/7 front desk behind them. OpenStreetMap currently maps 42 named lodging properties in and around Bar Harbor (19 hotels, 21 motels), of which at least 93% are independent — exactly the operators who lose peak-season calls to voicemail because the owner is the entire staff.
