I stayed in room 236. This place was amazing. Honestly, I could not have made a better reservation. It revived me to see that the old-world classic charm of yesteryear is still alive and well. The place must be even more beautiful come wintertime. The pianist was amazing, I was amazed by the amount of spacious comfort the room had, my balcony view was out of this world. The room was comfortable beyond means, and there wasn't a thing out of place. When you pay for luxury, you get it here. I loved the key and the doorbell to the room, as well as the bathrobe in the wardrobe and other things you miss out on in the chain hotel setting, which I am glad to see has not made that much inroads into Bar Harbor. Overall, I would return.
At the restaurant there was only one hiccup, but that is independent of my hotel stay. Lastly, it truly felt like being in a dream to stay at this hotel.
I am very happy overall with my stay and do not hesitate to give the Bluenose Inn my highest recommendation.
