My elderly 87 year old mother and I returned to the Bluenose to reminisce with family members about the wonderful times we shared with dad at the Bluenose. Dad passed away a few months before, at 93, and would have so enjoyed the extra effort and kindnesses we received from all the staff, as well as the wonderful piano player,... More

Beautiful property and grounds. Service was great, as was breakfast and dinner. Overall value was fair due to cost. It was our first trip to Bar harbor. It was was very nice however a bit too far off the beaten track for me. I thought it would be on the wide open ocean, but it isi n a protected bay... More

Room was beautiful! We stayed in the the mizzentop on the 3rd floor, which gave us wonderful views of the bay. The room was spotless and spacious. Our check in was quick, and all the help we encountered were friendly and helpful. We had dinner at the Looking Glass restaurant, which was delightful. Great food and great service. We will... More

I'll start by saying that if you are a bus tour don't come here... It's not bus friendly. If you are lucky enough to have a room in the main building, you may have a great view but if you are stuck in the back building ask for a room furthest from the main building for the view. If you... More

This was an excellent location, wonderful view from 4th floor Mizzentop room. Our room was large, clean and very comfortable. The staff could not have been more helpful and nice. Breakfasts were included in the room price, and were very generous, a full breakfast menu was available. We also ate at the hotel's Looking Glass Restaurant for dinner one night... More

This was a preseason family trip to Acadia National Park. We had two rooms facing the harbor with a nice view. One of the reasons we booked the Bluenose Inn is that it was one of a very few hotels with an indoor pool. We had three grandchildren that we wanted to keep entertained. Our experience was great! The rooms... More

This place is wonderfully quaint. They know the meaning of service with a smile. I arrived pre-season so the place was blissfully quiet. I had a 3rd floor room with a view to die for-- so when booking make sure you pick the higher floors. Whenever I needed something or had questions where to eat or how to get there... More

Before I start the review a few hints. Don’t even bother selecting this hotel if you aren’t going to choose a room with the fantastic views (there are better options in town). Secondly use the restaurant attached to the complex for breakfast only (you get the same amazing viewpoint for a fraction of the cast and underwhelming cuisine of dinner... More
