Acceptable Room, Horrible Resturant
The hotel part of the Bluenose Inn was a perfectly acceptable place. It is dated, but pleasant. The view from our room was wonderful, the bed wasn't the best, but not horrible. The place was very clean. The whole vibe is very 1960s....but that isn't bad. The horrible part of the stay was the restaurant. Truly some of the worst food I have ever had anywhere. Burnt coffee, inedible oatmeal (how do you ruin oatmeal???), bad service. I don't know if it was just a day that the cook didn't show up to work....or if this was their norm. I didn't try it a second time.

The rooms are spacious with lovely design. There was a sitting area with a fireplace. The large bathroom had two sinks. The breakfast at the Looking Glass was delicious. There was piano entertainment in the lounge. And the location is very close to the village and the national park.

Our room was comfortable and quiet with a great view from our balcony. We really enjoyed the piano player (Bill). The pool and other amenities were great! We like to walk, but the return up the darkened drive at night was challenging (we altered our schedule after the first experience so that we would return at dusk or earlier). We realize that there is bus service, but again, we prefer to walk if possible.

The Bluenose Inn was wonderful…clean, comfortable, beautiful view, extremely nice staff. Staying there was such a treat! Also, our room was large with a fireplace, couch, two chairs, double sinks in the bathroom, fridge, microwave, a Keurig, two comfy bathrobes and large closet. This is opposite of the current trend in hotels. Another sweet treat was Coffee 24-7!! We will definitely come back and recommend to our friends😍

old world elegance in Bar Harbor
Very nice property close to the main action areas of Bar Harbor. Stayed in a 3rd floor King suite . The lobby was very spacious, élégant and has a bar and a skilled pianist at night. 24 hour self serve coffee in the lobby. The property looks better in person to me than the photos. Decor is old school charm ( think Queen Anne with floral curtain s, ). The elevators and hallways have art and photos on the walls and glass mini chandelier lights. The room was clean, very large with Keurig coffee maker, mini fridge, microwave. large dual sink vanity stocked with lots of toiletries and great smelling bars of soap. The toilet and shower are in a room separate from the vanity area. large king bed, 2 night stands, nice short chest of drawers. Large flat screen tv. plenty of HOT WATER and good water pressure. small desk and chair. The other part of the room , the sitting area, features a 2 person couch, coffee table, end table, extra chair and a very nice MASSAGE CHAIR( GREAT FEATURE). There is a large, gas fireplace which puts our great heat. Large balcony with a terrific few of the bay , islands and boats. The A/C is a window unit that is effective and adjustable though a bit loud. Nice breakfast restaurant in a différent building. There is a gym, indoor pool and steam room in a dedicated building. Overall a GREAT STAY. my major wish would be an electronic lock system instead of the old fashioned metal key. View from breakfast room.was awesome.lunch service would be nice
