Travellers' Choice
5 miles south of Camden and set a top a small ledge overlooking Penobscot Bay, the Ledges is a classic Maine motel with panoramic ocean views. The property is nestled at the foot of a cove on 9 oceanfront acres with 900 feet of shoreline. Our hillside location overlooking the bay offers guests the perfect vantage point to spot tall-masted schooners, sleek yachts cruising the bay, and lobster boats hauling traps right off our shore.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I have been staying at Ledges by the Bay for 15 years. On 3/11/24 I called and reserved two rooms, one in May, another in June. I never received confirmation email which was unusual. Two days later 3/13 I received notice from my credit card company of the amount I was charged. This price per room was more than $100 than I had ever paid per night in the past (including prime season). I called the next day, (3 days from making reservation) to cancel. I was informed there would be a cancellation fee. When going to my credit card statement I learned I was charged a $50 cancellation fee for each reservation for a total of $100. And this was for canceling 3 days after reserving. I have never heard of this! I re-booked rooms with other area hotel for same days and was charged $128 less per night per room, and their cancellation policy was "100% if canceled within 72 hours of arrival". This change in price and policy has put an end to 15 years of satisfied stays, with high recommendations, at Ledges by the Bay. Very sad!

Dining room was advertised as open, but upon arrival we asked when the dining room would be open and was told its closed at this time of year. But in the advertisement, it said it was open. The off hours juice/coffee bar was closed in the dining room as well. The room coffee machine was not refilled or check the next day during the stay. The railing on the balcony paint was chipped and peeling off. The bottom support pieces for the railing were falling off and left exposed screws for possibility of injury. The bathroom exhaust fan was very loud and did not remove any odors or steam from the bathroom. The bathroom had a crank out window that could not be used due to the window crank handle missing. This was a very disappointing stay to say the least.

We have stayed at Ledges By the Bay several times through the years & have always enjoyed our stays very much. This trip was no exception. The view cannot be beaten and the room was clean and had everything we needed. The location is perfect for day trips up and down the coast. The staff is very welcoming and friendly! We will be back in the future!

We have been staying at Ledges By the Bay for years. Always pleased with how clean it is. The view is always spectacular and I love seeing the sunrise in the morning over the bay. Always the friendliest staff. It also fits our budget.

Nice room and comfortable bed and pillows. Clean and modern bathroom. The building has been renovated recently, and all looked good. The best thing about the stay was the amazing view from our room!

Our stay at Ledges was great. The room was clean and very nice. The view was terrific. Since it was November they were no longer offering breakfast, but there were restaurants fairly close by. And the price was very appropriate. We had checked out numerous hotel options online before making a reservation at Ledges By The Bay, and, having now been there and also having driven past other lodgings that we had considered, we know that we made the correct choice by staying there.

Nice view, clean room, quiet despite the fact that the Hotel is along road 1, but the phone call at 10.06am because the check out time is 10am killed the charm... Good ratio quality/price. There is no breakfast on site.

A very nice inn on an outstanding property! We stayed upstairs, exterior doors to the rooms as well as exterior stairs. The room was spacious, clean and quiet. The view off the rear balcony overlooks the Glen Cove and the Atlantic. Lovely vistas, sunrises and sky scapes. The bathroom is quite large and was clean...and the water hot. It took forever to try and get the water cold enough for drinking. Their breakfast service ends on Indigenous Day (CDN Thanksgiving) so we missed out on dining in that lovely area. There was a sewer smell when we first flushed. It was remedied once we ran water in the two sinks. The place looking out the front door faces the highway and a large, long storage building/additional rooms...but all you see is the back side of the building. And the receptionist was a bit cranky and short tempered but once we got past him, we were off to our surprisingly nice room! And what a view!

The most beautiful sunrise Iv ever seen. I will be staying there again. No microwave, and the pillows were to big for my liking, but thats a personal preference thing. I walked down to the bay. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
