    Harbor view from our room.
    Jim P.

    We really enjoyed our stay at CHI. We found the Inn exceptionally clean, the food was excellent, and the entire staff was friendly, helpful, and professional. We especially appreciated their attention to detail. The location is nicely located with views of the harbor and for walking to just about anywhere in town. The Inn is located about half way between Laite Memorial Beach and the center of Camden. The "Lighthouse Lookout" up the road beyond the beach is tricky to find but well worth the effort. We love the tree lights! We are looking forward to visiting again - thank you CHI team !

    Covid weary, my son and I decided on a road trip to Maine. We found the Inn was running a great opening special. When we arrived, we were greeted in the parking lot by two young men who promptly brought our bags to our room, and would also do a great job serving us breakfast the next morning. Timothy at the desk was a pleasure to talk to. His great sense of humor and care for the guests were evident each time he spoke with everyone. James, Aidan, and Harper in the dining room were a delight. I wish we could get their food and service knowledge everywhere we go. All of the food was excellent with the exception being the lobster bisque. Pricey and small portioned, but delicious flavors, fantastic plate presentation, and creative combinations. The scallops and halibut the standouts, everything was perfectly cooked each time. Each meal also included an amuse bouche which was a wonderful surprise. The area is a small harborside town with plenty of shops to explore, many with a view of the water. Easily in walking distance from the Inn. Leave your car at the Inn and enjoy the close by beach, overlook, and shopping. The room and common areas are everything you would expect from a Relais and Chateaux property. Beautifully decorated with thoughtful touches for the guest. Drinks, coffee, and snacks are included with your room. With the special package we also received two bottles of wine. We did have one incident however that not only spoiled our first day, but also kept me from leaving a 5 star review, which the others here well deserved. We checked in and were delighted to see the white wine already in the fridge. I poured a glass for my son and I and suggested we sit on the beautiful porch. We checked the seats outside, one side of the porch had tables with tablecloths on it, the others near the door did not, so we sat at the first table right at the entrance. We could see the staff were eating so we knew regardless the restaurant was not open. We were outside for about five minutes when the bartender came outside. "Excuse me you can't drink out here." My apologies, I did not realize, we aren't from the area. "Maine liquor law says you cannot drink outside, and you certainly can't bring in your own wine and come out here." I thought to myself maybe he is unaware the wine is from the hotel with our room. Maybe they should make the staff aware of the packages. I said the wine came with the room, could we drink it in the lounge or library room area? He replied, hovering over my son, "you don't drink downstairs unless I served it to you." I felt he was way over the top, and leaning over my son prompted me to say, "okay this was my idea, don't blame him." He tapped his foot and held the door open waiting for us to evacuate. So rude and unprofessional. Menacing over guests is completely unacceptable. Mind you we had only arrived about 15 mins before this happened so we were very concerned we had chosen the wrong hotel. Fifteen minutes in and our day was certainly set off badly. I spoke with Timothy the next day. He was so great to listen and we both thought a card near the wine simply stating "please enjoy the wine in your room" would save another guest from feeling the way we did. As we later left to go shopping, we overheard and saw him following up with the manager on what happened to us. I did say earlier he was fantastic! Later that night we sat in the rocking chairs and enjoyed the view. The manager did see us and come out. He did not apologize for what happened, but asked if we would like a drink while sitting. Wait.....I thought you couldn't drink outside??? Maybe someone could just check the actual laws.

    Amazing Inn at Camden Inn Maine

    Folks, this place is AMAZING! The owners Oscar and Raymond have created an absolute jewel. They put so much emphasis on hospitality. The rooms are stunning, the staff is professional, super friendly and helpful. All the attention to detail from the time we checked in to the time we walked out the front door was superior. Our dinner at Natalie's was absolutely amazing. Starting off at the bar with 2 different styles of oysters recommended by our bartender Mike, who was very entertaining and helpful, recommending different activities in the area. Followed by a delicious 5 course dinner. First, our waiter came over with a nice warm cloth to freshen up. What a nice touch, I felt like I was flying 1st class. Great presentation and flavor pairings by chef Jose with the food. We decided to pair our courses with a wine pairing. wines selected by our Somalia Katheryn. She was very passionate and informative about the wine pairing with each course. Sharing with us from what regions each came from and why she paired them with all the different courses. The food portions were perfect size, so we felt satisfied but not stuffed by the time we left the table. Coming back to our room, we were surprised with gourmet chocolates on our pillows with comfy slippers at our bedside. Breakfast was equally as delicious the next morning. Totally, it was a great experience, and we will be back soon?

    Just spent 2 nights here as part of a bed/breakfast/dinner package. Got there first night and having dined there before, we were eagerly anticipating our dinner at Natalie's. We went big and ordered the 5 course tasting menu and when asked, my wife specified NO SEAFOOD other than shrimp. Second course? Oysters! Third course? Halibut! I happen to love oysters, so she sat through that course with nothing to eat, but the halibut got sent back. Why would you bring that to the table when specifically asked not to 20 minutes ago? That being said, the halibut was flaky and delicious and the shrimp risotto they brought to the table was outstanding. The duck entree was outstanding as well, but bringing 2 courses to the table that we didn't want when you're paying $400 for dinner for two is inexcusable. This was quite unlike our first visit there last year when we had one of the best meals of our lives and everything was beyond perfect! There was new staff there this year who seemed inexperienced in providing the level of service expected at this price point, and that was definitely a part of the reason for this subpar experience. The hostesses/waitress' English wasn't the best and the matridee' was a bit snippy at times during service. Breakfast was excellent. Best eggs benedict and rustic potatoes ever. Blueberry pancakes with fresh blueberries are a good choice as well. There are lots of books and DVDs for your room as well as a wide selection of magazines and newspapers. The rooms and the first floor of this New England Victorian are decorated with red accent pieces from Ikea. Yep. Ikea. So there's classic pieces and modern pieces of different wood in the same room beside each other. The lampshade on the lamp in my room wasn't even attached and when I slid the lamp closer to a chair for a reading light, the shade fell down around my wrist! The desk drawer was stuck on the study and the cable channels did not include CNN or MTV! I mean c'mon! I don't get a chance to watch lots of TV when I'm at home because I'm too busy or my young children are around, but I get a chance to relax (at this price!) and you don't have CNN! You gotta' fix that. Additionally the carpets in the room were worn down and it was quite obvious the difference between the areas in the corners and the more trafficked areas. Same goes for the carpet in the hallways. The lounge has an awesome gas fireplace and is very inviting. I would recommend the lounge even just for drinks! Dinner obviously seems to be hit or miss. For a few hundred bucks less, stay at the Heartstone Inn. The food is just as good, they have an awesome happy hour with $5 drinks where all the guests come down, meet each other, the owners and the chef. Plus it's right in downtown, not mile away.

    couldn't have picked a better stop for the end of this roadtrip. the Inn was featured in the july issue of travel+leisure and the superlatives are even better in person. stellar accomodations with ocean/harbor views and easy, friendly hospitality extended from front desk to coffee, home made cakes and chocolates available for guests all day. the Inn is dutch-owned which accounts for the chic east-indies colonial accent. breakfast (lobster omelette) is a big treat and dinners at Natalie's, the Inn's restaurant, is fresh from Maine's farms and waters - lobster tempura with avocado, beets-seaweed salad, huge seared scallops in squid ink sauce. enough to do in Camden and filled up the time taking in the sights by bike. sure glad to discover this part of Maine. loved it.

    Thank you very much to those at the Camden Harbour Inn. What a wonderful experience & night away! If you are looking for top notch hospitality, great atmosphere & a personable staff, then this is the place for you! My husband and I stayed for a night during restaurant week in Maine. Shortly after a delightful check in, we grabbed fresh coffee downstairs and took it to sit out on our deck. The views of the town and bay were beautiful, even in the beginning of March. The area was so peaceful, it's an easy way to relax. We eventually got ready and went down to Natalie's bar for a pre dinner drink and oysters. First sitting out on the couches by the fire place, then moving in to the bar itself. You really run your own schedule here! The staff at Natalie's were all very curious and welcoming. Tom the bartender made a delish Cucumber Martini! We had 8pm reservations for dinner & were seated quickly. Our waitress was very knowledgable and helpful. The three course meal was extremely satisfying. Especially at the restaurant week price! To finish the evening we took our glass of wine from dinner and brought it back to the couch by the fireplace. Perfect way to end our evening. The a La Carte Breakfast was 7:30-9:30am, and what a feast it was! The Lobster Eggs Benedict was amaging! Too many options to choose from between the fresh made pasteries and fine cheeses, fruits, etc. I could go on and on about how great of a time we had at Camden, however it's best if you experience it for yourself. The staff, especially Ellen and JP, make your stay and memories of it, a number one priority. We will definately be back!

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.

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.

There is a little closet that hods the Keurig machine, microwave, mini fridge, and ice bucket. The room was spacious and had just enough room for 2 people. The bathroom was well stocked with towels and even had an option to warm the floors. The bathtub is huge! I liked the many options in the shower for the water direction (waterfall, front, or handheld). I liked that the waterfall option was angled as well as the front - aims toward the chest, not the eyes! The hotel is conveniently located in town - you can walk to many restaurants as well as the very cute library in town. We actually walked to Rockport for dinner but please note it is rather difficult to get ride share services (Uber/Lyft) so we had to call a local taxi company. I would definitely stay here again during our next trip to Camden!

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.
