I didn't care for the breakfast and thus gave it a 4 star overall. The convenience to downtown for shopping, eating and enjoying water activities was super.

Convenient Camden Stay with great breakfast

Great for a one night stay in Camden on our way to Bar Harbor. Very close to the Camden State Park where you can go up to the top of Mount Battie. Short drive to a lot of the restaurants in the downtown area or there were a few within walking distance. We found an outstanding Mexican restaurant that was only a block away. I had fantastic food. Breakfast was prepared by the owners and served in their dining room where you got to mingle with the other guests. Homemade yogurt and baked goods were delicious.

The room was clean and attractive, and we appreciated having a Keurig coffee maker in the room. The continental breakfast in a pleasant dining area was very nice. The ladies who run this obviously care about the attractiveness of the rooms and the comfort of their guests. The only downside is that the view from the comfortable chairs outside the rooms was the parking lot.

Very nice two night stay. The only negatives were the small size of the rooms and the lack of a common area available for playing board games. The breakfast room with table was off-limits during non-breakfast hours.
