We stayed for 2 nights. Decent enough hotel - we were there the last week before they closed for the winter and it did have a certain end of season feeling! Our room was fine - clean, adequately equipped and did have a good view over Frenchmans Bay. Service was very good. The hotel lounge is pleasant and huge and... More

I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. We stayed for one night in the mizzentop building, and I must say that this is definetly the best hotel in all of Bar Harbor. The view alone from high up on the giant cliff overlooking frenchmans bay is priceless, but throw in the excellent and prompt guest service, the great food... More

My husband and I recently spent a long weekend in Bar Harbor, spending two nights at the Bluenose Inn. I chose this property because it is AAA's only 4 diamond hotel in Bar Harbor. We were not disappointed. From check-in to check-out, a very gracious staff, excellent meals in the Looking Glass restaurant, and amazing views from our 4th floor... More

We visited Bar Harbor for the first time this week and stayed at the Bluenose Inn. Our room was clean and comfortable. The property itself is a little dated though. Positives are: service (which was very friendly), onsite laundry (handy), and value (we got a decent deal rate). Negatives are: food in the restaurant was very overpriced (we ate downtown... More

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your Bluenose experience on TripAdvisor. I'm so glad you had the opportunity to visit Bar Harbor for the first time, it's a very special place!

This was our second stay at the Bluenose Inn and as before, it was wonderful. The rooms are spacious, clean, nicely decorated, and comfortable. Our room overlooked Frenchman's Bay which was spectacular but then I believe all the rooms overlook the Bay. The hotel staff was very accommodating, polite and pleasant. The Great Room is very inviting day or evening.... More

We had a superb room with views across the bay. The room was well furnished (the massage chair was an unexpected bonus) and the bed was very comfortble. Dinner and Breakfast at the restaurant afforded even more spectacular views. A great place to stay with both indooor and outdoor pools. The only downside was the resaurant was up a long... More

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay at The Bluenose! I appreciate you sharing your experience on TripAdvisor. The restaurant being higher on the hillside than The Bluenose makes the view even more amazing but, because of the hill, some certainly choose to drive to The Looking Glass or have a bellman provide transportation. Thank you for your kind words and... More

We only stayed here for one night (unfortunately) during our road trip of New England. Our room was fantastic - clean, spacious, comfortable and welcoming with a great view of the bay. We had a fire in the which we put on briefly following a walk in the rain and were quickly warmed through. The huge bed was very comfortable... More

The hotel lobby was inviting with cookies and tea, the front desk was very accomodating. The room was immaculate, had a gorgeous view and was very clean. There wasn't one thing we didn't love about our stay. We will definitely be back here to stay again. The hotel went the extra mile to make our stay very nice. More

We stayed for three nights in a beautiful room with a fire place, two queen sized beds and a balcany overlooking the bay. It was prettier and more spacious in person as compared with the Internet pictures. The staff was wonderful. The only negative is the Looking Glass restaurant - overpriced and inconsistent service.
