    Beautiful views.

    Beautiful views, cozy seating, and delicious food and drinks. Highly recommended. Staff was also excellent.

    Best view in Camden for apps and drinks! We had a bite here and loved the rooftop vibe, friendly staff, and yummy food.

    Overall this property is a good stay. It is not without its issues much out of their control such as parking and noise. The location is outstanding. The rooms are comfortable. The views are nice. The Vintage Bar is nice, but needed more staff. The breakfast is above average with REAL scrambled eggs, but the potatoes were ice cold.

    A flawless stay. Parking is cheap and close, check in was comfortable and fast, the room was comfortable, big, clean and cozy. I loooved the room, bed and fireplace. You get complimentary sparkling wine at check in. Small plates and desserts are available and delicious. I will be staying here again!

    Excellent location for the Camden area. We walked everywhere in town and didn't have to worry about parking since we paid $15 for hotel parking in the back. Due to COVID some of the regular amenities were different and I think if things were normal it would have been better service but I understand. We had a difficult time getting bath towels and our shower would overflow but I think if hotel staff would regularly come into the room, it would have been fixed. The view had peaking views of the water and it was nice having a balcony. Breakfast was nice with the chefs special and was easy to pick up in the morning. The room had a gas fireplace which was great because it was so cold!

    Great decor, location right in the center of things, and a rooftop bar. Emily greeted us warmly, and was a delight. She got us settled and up to the bar. The view is great, especially on a foggy night with the glow of the Edison bulbs. A fire pit and heaters kept it toasty and comfortable. The drink menu has a drink for every taste. Smoky bourbon and lavender gin cocktails were our choices, and both did not disappoint. Staff in the bar were engaging and attentive, a pleasure to talk to.

    Parking in the rear of the hotel.

    I know that five star reviews are boring so I'll make this quick and to the point. Simply elegant. Warm and inviting. I really like this place. The only complaints that I saw posted were of the rooftop bar. Big whoop, someone didn't get their drink right. Hardly a reason to diss the whole hotel. We had a great stay and will come again!

    This review is for their rooftop bar. Very scenic view and there's a fire pit that helps keep you warm despite the chills during the cooler part of night. We had their tapas which were good and the ambience was just lovely. Would come again for the view with friends

    This hotel is part of three properties in Camden found at bayviewcollection.com. It's the newest, and the archecture is New Orleans meets modern industrial. It's fabulous! There are only 21 rooms, but if you are lucky enough to get one, they are lovely, spacious and clean. I think all rooms get a balcony and they are small, but do the trick for enjoying the view with a cocktail. The hotel is centrally located and perfectly walkable to all the shops, restaurants and bars. In the morning, we were offered a complementary breakfast of quiche, yogurt and granola, assorted baked goods, bagels and cream cheese, coffee, tea and an assortment of juices. It was more than I would have expected and very good. The staff we encountered were all friendly and the common areas were tidy. They also have meeting/wedding space that we peeked into that also seemed nice.

    The master suite had a balcony facing the harbor and quaint side street full of shops and restaurants, only a short walk to the docks.

    We wanted to just love this place, but there were enough little problems to only rate it 3 stars…read more Parking is a HUGE problem. There are a limited amount of spaces in front with zero room to maneuver your car to fit in a space. There is a public lot right next door for a fee and hopefully you'll get a space. We were in the Waterfront King Suite. The room was lovely and had a great view!! However, getting hot water was inconsistent. We had noisy neighbors who we could hear using the hairdryer at 6:42am, and shouting down the hall and slamming their door at 7:30am. At 10:45pm there were sounds like chairs being dragged over hardwood for about 30 minutes. They do give you an opportunity to order breakfast that is delivered to your room and a time you specify. However, both days I had rancid milk for my coffee. I wrote a note to the staff after the first morning, and they served spoiled milk to me again on the second morning!! The food was also vastly under seasoned. I ordered the quinoa bowl both days and got two totally different dishes. And, my wife's potatoes were completely burnt. So for the money we spent on the room, I cannot recommend this place due to parking, noise, and food quality.

    This hotel did not live up to its online reputation. Maybe they have staffing challenges in this…read morepart of the world...but who doesn't? Maybe pay more to folks. First off, the front desk would go 15-30 minutes without being staffed. This made it particularly difficult when we needed something - I sat across from the desk for 15 minutes at one point - but that's not enough to warrant a negative review. In fact, I waited this morning to convey this message in person, but the only people in the lobby were customers waiting for help. What does warrant a review is our breakfast foul up. This may sound like a minor issue, however in the world of customer service it absolutely is not. Here's what happened: the hotel provides breakfast in the room. We had two rooms. My daughter mistakenly put my room number on her breakfast card, so they delivered both breakfasts to my room. Only they didn't deliver both COMPLETE breakfasts - they only delivered a portion of the breakfasts. When we inquired about the mixup, we were shown our cards - no apology, only a hint of "here's where the fault lies, and it's with you." However, no one bothered to ask us before delivering an incomplete breakfast as to whether this was actually what we wanted (and bear in mind, this is not a big hotel). After that, there were a series of further mixups before staff actually sorted things out and got complete breakfasts to our rooms. I don't have a big problem with the mixup. I do have a problem with the reaction and the confused resolution. However, the blame here is not on the staff: it's on ownership. It's very clear that at critical points of the day, the hotel has a real staffing issue. It's also clear that ownership hasn't adequately trained staff on "Customer Service 101." The poor worker was clearly frazzled and could use some training and some help. As a result, this hotel did not earn the premium it charges.

How about staying in a charming, quaint, and clean room or suite? How about a drink during happy hour at their cozy bar? Do you want to sit on their porch and read a book by the firepit? If so, make the reservation now! The Blue Harbor House is charming, romantic, and well maintained. My wife and I stayed here four nights recently and used this location to not only spend time in Camden, but to visit other nearby towns like Rockland, Bath, Brunswick, Rockport, and Belfast. Don't forget to visit the Cellar Door Winery in neighboring Lincolnville. Everything worked in our Snug Harbor Suite to perfection. Housekeeping did a great job each morning cleaning and replacing whatever was needed. The innkeepers, Matt and Michelle are warm and some of the nicest people you will ever meet. From the moment we booked our reservation, they began making us part of their family. Just talking to them and some of the other guests about life was relaxing and therapeutic. The price here is very reasonable and worth every penny. There is plenty of parking in their private parking lot. As I said earlier, there is no need to look any further.

The room was cheaper than many hotels in the area and the location was great, within walking distance to stores and restaurants. They also have a designated parking area, which is convenient. Everyone working there was very nice. That being said, the hotel would benefit from an update with a little more attention to detail. For instance, the bathroom exhaust fan was dusty and there was some sloppy paint work around the towel bar, kick boards, and outlets. The hair dryer outlet was very loose and needs to be replaced. The walls are thin and we could hear the people talking in the room next to our room. The bed was very soft, lumpy, and uncomfortable. The bathroom door was swollen and difficult to close. The second floor has exposed pipes in the hallway. The popcorn ceiling in our room immediately contributes to a dated feeling. An extension cord ran from the basement under the door to the front of the building, with a series of extension cords running out front. A few upgrades would make a big difference, even if it means increasing the rate. We will look for other accommodations , should we return.

I believe the outside was newly painted as well. The little creek that runs under the inn is cute. The place is not pet friendly. Contains about 9 rooms. Paid $155 for the night on a Saturday in September during covid. The reason I removed 2 stars is because there was no check-in process & needs some updates for sure. When we arrived there was no one there but our key was left outside in an envelope. Now I understand not having a desk attendant all day because there is only 9 people checking in, max. However, I couldn't find an email anywhere that stated the check-in process. I assume crime is very low in the area so I guess my key being out is ok. As others mentioned, the rooms are decorated with items you would see in your grandma's house. Since it was covid, there is no breakfast or anything. I understand not serving due to covid but other B&B's found ways to improvise. I was disappointed that there was not even a Keurig or small coffee pot in the room. No bottled water left or anything to help. Just a note that said to not use the dishes in the kitchen & bags of ice in the freezer. Other B&B's along the Maine coast had coffee in room & served grab-n-go breakfast items for about the same price paid here. I'm sure the family that owns this is nice, local people so I feel bad for not giving 5 stars but I have to be honest. Was trying to support local rather than a chain hotel.
