Breakfast included, regular hotel style hot buffet. Definitely recommend when in the area.

On hold for 3 minutes she comes back and asks whose calling (sorry not her business but gave the info), she said ok and tried to transfer again. Not sure what was going on no music no nothing just completely silent only reason I knew I wasn't hung up on as the phone was still connected. I hung up called again, same woman answered again no name said it was a new phone system and was having trouble was on hold over 7 minutes and she hung up on me this time. Employee needs to be retrained so she knows how to work the equipement. Persons cell phone wasn't working and the reason calling the hotel directly.

The hotel says it's new, it's advertised as new all over the outside of the hotel, It's not. There were signs of age everywhere. Dated wallpapered, dim and low ceiling hallways.

You can tell that they tried to clean it but it's very clearly still dirty We found a dead cockroach on the floor (at least it was dead). On a positive note, our breakfast hostess was amazing!

Not the Way Maine Innkeepers Should Be! BEWARE of Blue Hill Inn's policy before reserving! We lost…read more$600! Read other terrible reviews from TripAdvisor, as well. My husband and I are born/bred Mainers, looking forward to celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary at the Inn. We read the policy and booked two evenings. However, on our way up, our car broke down and we had to head home, trauma in itself. I called right away to cancel and explain the circumstances to the owners and hoped to receive some other future booking there, rather than loose our cash. The unfortunate answer was no. They refused to make any refund or bend their policy in any way. My husband wrote a kindly email explaining our situation, once again, but never received a reply. We understand the need for policies and support that, but flexibility for certain unavoidable circumstances should, we believe, also be considered. Their lack of any empathy to our situation and uncouth, unpolished manners reflects very poor customer service and cancels any future wish to ever stay at the Blue Hill Inn. These innkeepers are clearly from away and do not, in any way, mirror REAL Maine hospitality! So, if you book there, you'll loose your money, if you have to suddenly cancel, even for an unexpected accident or God forbid a death!!

This was a true B&B, which a charming residential atmosphere, off-street parking (important in this town), and daily breakfast. I was offered some freshly made pancakes, and they also made me a tofu scramble; they promise to always have milk alternatives and tofu available. Fresh fruit, pastries, and various beverages were also available throughout the day. Wifi was a little spotty. I managed to get in some telework okay, but this does not strike me as a place where most people will want to spent a ton of time on the internet.

Being there makes you feel so far away in the best way possible. But the shining star of the town has to be the Pentagoet run by the most wonderful innkeepers, Matt & George, and a truly lovely staff! Everyone we encountered on their team was kind, friendly and offered excellent service. It's easy to just park your car on main street or on the side of the inn and then from the minute you walk into the space, you are blown away at all of the decor and details that make it feel comfortable, classy and modern and at the same time so true to the inn's Victorian history. You can tell each corner of the inn has been decorated intentionally and with much care. Our room (#3) was comfortable, clean and had so many fantastic details like a signature smell, complimentary bath/shower items, and of course - the signature balcony (AMAZING!). The communal spaces are fantastic as well. The patio is gorgeous, the porch is so peaceful, and the pub is incredibly cozy and chic. Breakfast was delicious and they also offer coffee service upstairs outside of the rooms, which is such a great touch. The food and drinks at the pub are also outstanding!! For good reason, the restaurant books up fast so definitely always make a reservation whether you are staying or only coming for dinner but you certainly won't regret experiencing the cocktails (love the blueberry one..so Maine!) and the food. The menu is seasonal I believe but everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The ode to lobster on the menu was also quintessential Maine and so good.. my husband had lobster linguini. I had short rib sliders that were also amazing. If you get the chance to try the blueberry cobbler or chocolate tres leches, do it!! Those are two desserts my husband and I will never forget. Actually.. the whole place and experience is something we will never forget. It was a highlight of our Maine vacation and we will forever be grateful to Matt and George for the space they have created and remarkable levels of hospitality that feel truly special! Thank you Matt, George and the Pentagoet team!

The owners, Matt & George, could not have been more welcoming from the moment we walked in the front door. The property itself is oozing with rich history and the interiors have been brilliantly restored (well done, George!), making this stay feel like both a step into the past and luxury pampering. Matt is quite the chef, and the inn's evening menu sings with local comfort foods, each item delicious and unique (we tried most of the menu). Downeast Maine may have stolen my heart on this trip, but it's the Pentagoet that has been top of mind since we left. I can't wait to return!
