We loved our stay at the Bluenose! It's a beautiful location. We purposely chose the water view and I'm so glad that we did. The way it's set up on the hill is perfect for seeing out into the bay. The room was spacious and comfortable. We loved the restaurant and the neighboring hotel for breakfast one morning. We otherwise kept snacks and breakfast items in our room refrigerator. Be sure to listen to the pianist who plays in the bar lobby area most nights. We enjoyed chatting with him and hearing him play everything by ear! All of the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again! We also loved the handy bus that goes right from the parking lot to the downtown area of Bar Harbor - super helpful, as the parking downtown is crazy. The bus system is amazing and goes into Acadia and surrounding areas. Use it!

The bathroom could have been a little cleaner. The rest of the room was great. The power did go out a few times. Possibly the area. Not a huge deal. We did enjoy our stay. Probably would stay there again.

Very nice property outside of Bar Harbor. Piano player in the bar at night was a nice way to wind down the day at Acadia. Our room was on the second floor facing the bay and we had a great view of the sunrise. The only downside was they are still using old keys and the lock was a bit sensitive

Lovely stay at The Bluenose Inn!
We had a lovely stay at The Bluenose Inn! The check-in was smooth (they give you an actual room key which is charming and uncommon these days) and the room was very spacious. I loved the great room- such pretty vista views and a bar, it also has a piano player most nights and it was very cute. It was in a great location, just a few minutes drive into downtown Bar Harbor and also into Acadia National Park. The hotel staff were very knowledgeable and friendly, we would definitely come back!

The hotel is located about a mile away from the downtown which is nice for its quiet surroundings. The bedroom was comfortable and the view of the bay stunning. The hotel itself is dated; old furnishings and draperies and did not leave me with an overall good impress. It was odd that the restaurant does not open for lunch or dinners, despite having such beautiful views of the bay. You can only have breakfast, a bit of an inconvenience given the lack of proximity to town. The staff at the restaurant were great and very attentive. The front desk service however was lacking in hospitality; one is left with a sense of indifference and I felt overall a lack of quality in the service I received. I stayed 4 nights at the bluenose.
