We stayed in the Eden building which made our time comfortable because it offers so many amenities. We had a home away from home. The apartments offer beautiful views and everything you need to be comfortable! We loved the time in Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park! We would stay here again for sure!

Fantastic stay at The Bluenose!

We loved our stay at the Bluenose. Our room was huge and absolutely spotless! Loved the double sink vanity and the balcony view was stunning. We loved the indoor pool and hot tub. Everything about our stay was A+

This property has been great for two stays now and the staff is awesome! The construction is kind of distracting, but the progress is good. I was a bit disappointed that they are removing the gas fireplaces during room updates, but I do understand the safety aspect. This is definitely a property that embraces the past era it represents and in that way creates it’s charm.

Gem with a view

We spent 3 nights at this charming older property. The Mizzentop building only has rooms facing the harbor and a direct view of Bar Island and the Porcupines. The Great Room has its own bartender and there was a piano player for entertainment every night. Cute gift shop in the lobby and multiple coffee stations. Never got to the indoor pool/hot tub but wish we had.

Acceptable Room, Horrible Resturant

The hotel part of the Bluenose Inn was a perfectly acceptable place. It is dated, but pleasant. The view from our room was wonderful, the bed wasn't the best, but not horrible. The place was very clean. The whole vibe is very 1960s....but that isn't bad. The horrible part of the stay was the restaurant. Truly some of the worst food I have ever had anywhere. Burnt coffee, inedible oatmeal (how do you ruin oatmeal???), bad service. I don't know if it was just a day that the cook didn't show up to work....or if this was their norm. I didn't try it a second time.
