Hotels in Bar Harbor
Looking at taking the July 4th weekend up in Bar Harbor and doing some hiking in Acadia. Given there are minimum booking constraints (we will only be in town for 2 nights - so no Harborside Hotel), are there any particular spots that folks find appealing? It looks like the Bayview Inn is really nice, but I am loathe to book it given that I wouldn't earn any sort of rewards on it. The Hampton is also well-rated and is pretty new, but it seems like it is also on the pricier side.
I guess what it boils down to - is it worth it to spend a little premium on a nicer place or a spot with a great view? And would folks recommend staying right next to downtown Bar Harbor or a little outside of it?
