We have been visiting Castine Maine for several years now to see our son at the Maine Maritime Academy, opting to stay in Bucksport, what a mistake with the Castine Inn available right in the center of town!!! From our arrival Saturday night, through our departure Monday morning, we were treated to true hospitality and comfort. The location on Main Street is only two blocks from the Harbor, and about three blocks from the college. The staff at the front desk made numerous calls to local restaurants and services when we made inquiries about possible dining or activities. The room was a 2 room suite that accommadated our travel this weekend with my father-in-law, allowing us to stay together with plenty of privacy at a great price. Breakfast was included, which each day included fresh scones, juice, and choices that included poached eggs or real Maine blueberry pancakes, or the second day, bacon kitsch or french toast. I would recommend the Castine Inn to everybody wanting to feel at home in Castine. ( the Inn is open from MMA Graduation weekend - early May to early October)

Indifferent service, maintenance, cleanliness, facilities, especially compared with the inn across the road. There doesn't seem to have been much effort or concern put into providing a comfortable vacation experience or making a guest want to return.

This is a lovely place to stay! We booked at the last minute and they only had their lowest-priced rooms available. I have to say that is was quite a bargain. We paid almost twice as much for rooms that were half as nice elsewhere. I liked the teal-and white color scheme, which gave it a bright, fresh feeling. The toiletries were great. The bed was firm and comfy. We left the window open the first night to let the air in, and neglected to lower the shade. The sound of churchbells going off on the hour and the light streaming in prevented me from getting much sleep. Lesson learned-with the shade drawn and the window closed on night two, I slept much better. There is a ceiling fan and a portable fan as well. I was not bothered by noise from the other rooms.The breakfast room is beautifully decorated with murals on all sides. The scones are flaky and delicious. There are two hot choices, although one day I just had the scones, cereal, and lovely fresh fruit, and was quite content. Everyone there was friendly and helpful. My husband inquired about hiking trails, and the lady at the front desk was more than happy to provide information. I honestly can't imagine staying anywhere else in Castine.

Castine is a wonderful picturesque village just south and far away from the madding crowd of Bar Harbor. The Castine Inn is well maintained and fun for an overnight stay. It feels recently renovated, rooms are large and very comfortable, clean, well priced and nicely decorated. The inn has a bar open from 4-10. We enjoyed wine on the large porch that overlooks a well maintained garden. You can walk to the dock area, restaurants etc. Breakfast is served in a large airy dining room. Table service was good and th food fresh. We appreciated free coffee for the road. Innkeepers were attentive and professional.
