Planned a last minute weekend trip to Bar Harbor. Lucked into a stay at the Bluenose Inn. The place is immaculate with so many small nice touches that it's hard to describe them all. The room was very spacious with a small sitting area with a couch and two wing chais and a balcony with two chairs and an amazing... More

Definetely a four star property where attention is paid to detail, cleanliness and decor. Everything is well kept. The rate for our top floor suite included a voucher for a full breakfast in the Looking glass restaurant. The higher elevation of the hotel means great views. Traffic noise from the road below the hotel makes the balcony less than peaceful... More

We pride ourselves on striving to maintain high standards at The Bluenose and appreciate receiving feedback from our guests so we know when we succeed. May is a lovely time to visit, in addition to watching nature 'wake up' and the chance to enjoy the area before it gets busy, you have the added incentive of breakfast at The Looking... More

We stayed at the Bluenose Inn. As I arranged the trip - I collected major spouse points. The service was excellant- check-in smooth as informative by "Love" from... More

Althought we only live an hour from the island we decided to treat ourselves to a weekend getaway. The Bluenose was a good choice. We biked from the hotel onto the nearby Carriage Trails returning at dusk for cocktails by the outdoor fire pit at the Looking Glass restaurant. The view was spectacular - we could look down to Bar... More

We were there off season but the price was very reasonable. On a more personal note, I forgot the battery charger for my cell phone upon checking out, and the staff had attached... More

We just got back from our trip to Bar Harbor and we were only going to be staying 2 nights at the Bluenose Inn, but we changed our plans and stayed for 4 nights! The room was quite large, very clean and nicely decorated. We enjoyed the fireplace, but it was the fantastic view from our balcony that mesmerized us!... More
