The Spotlight on Acadia Gateway Motel

Simple Comfort Close to the Sounds of Bar Harbor


Just under 20 minutes from both Acadia National Park and downtown Bar Harbor, Acadia Gateway Motel offers a no-frills, comfortable stay in Trenton, ME. With classic motel charm and essential amenities like air-conditioned rooms, cable TV, and optional microwaves and mini-fridges, this spot is a solid base for concert-goers who want to explore both nature and nightlife without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is key—this motel puts you within a short drive to venues and entertainment in Bar Harbor while giving you a quieter place to crash after the show. The reception is open until 10:00 PM, which is handy for late arrivals, and the setting is peaceful for those wanting to unplug after a loud night out. Plus, it’s just a short walk to local attractions like Wild Acadia Fun Park if you’re looking to fill your day before the gig.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for affordable rooms near the action
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list show in Bar Harbor
  • Couples wanting a weekend nature/concert combo
  • Fans seeking a quiet spot to recover after the music ends
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who prefer to save on lodging

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, you’re not far from tasty options. Real Pit BBQ is just across the street for a smoky, satisfying bite after a show. For something a bit more upscale, Cleonice Mediterranean Bistro is about 4 miles away. Coffee makers in every room help with those post-show mornings, and local breakfast spots are a short drive away.

Nightlife Options

You won’t find live music or a bar on the property, but a quick drive into Bar Harbor opens up a range of nightlife—from cozy pubs to waterfront bars with local brews. It's the kind of place where you can enjoy the music scene, then retreat to a peaceful night’s sleep.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the motel’s clean rooms, friendly staff, and convenient location near both the park and concert spots. Many note the value for money, especially for travelers who don't need all the bells and whistles. The easy parking and quiet atmosphere get repeated praise.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are basic and some guests mention that the decor is dated. There’s no on-site breakfast or bar, and check-out is a bit early at 10:00 AM—something to plan around if you’ve had a late night out.

The Bottom Line

Acadia Gateway Motel is a simple, affordable stay that gives concert-goers easy access to Bar Harbor’s music scene with the bonus of a quiet, comfortable night’s rest.

Liked: Great location. Room was clean and well maintained. Service was fast. The staff was very attentive. There’s some free light breakfast (mini cakes/ donuts) & coffee at the office convenient to grab before hitting the road to Acadia. It was refundable through booking.com up until 1 week prior, which provides flexibility for scheduling.
Disliked: Would like extra towels and pillows.

Liked: Room was small with a full size bed & shower was very small, but it served the purpose of a place to get some rest after a tough hike @ Acadia NP. We were told that the room was tiny before we were given the key.
