Great living spaces that could be separated off, great view of the ocean, the great room was a comfortable place to relax after dinner (in town). The only negative was the lack of on site dinner dining, and the associated breakfast restaurant being closed during part of the week.

The Bluenose Inn Is a really nice place to stay. The hotel, rooms & common areas are clean & welcoming. They have a great gift shop, lounge/bar area with live piano entertainment. They have a restaurant offering breakfast & lunch. It is located close to downtown Bar Harbor. A short drive with affordable paid parking everywhere . We enjoy our stay!

Wonderful views! Excellent room. Was not informed that restaurant was in a separate building and also indoor pool and spa were in another separate building. Both buildings were a bit of a strenuous uphill walk especially for an elderly person.

The view out the windows overlooking the sandbar in Bar Harbor was outstanding, the sunrise over the mountains was mesmerizing. The staff was VERY friendly and helpful as were the servers at the Looking Glass restaurant. Excellent service there. Will definitely return for a 2nd stay.
