This was my first B&B - and it was terrific! Meghan couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. Hartstone is so conveniently located that it was easy to walk to everything: stores, restaurants, parks, etc. Parking was a breeze. We really enjoyed the time we spent there.

The Inn is adorable and has comfortable rooms that are decorated attractively. We enjoyed our daily, included breakfast—get the waffles! The location was perfect for exploring Camden. We also enjoyed a nice dinner one of our evenings. They did run out of menu items we would have ordered, but we had a nice meal all told. Some suggestions would be to include robes and slippers in the rooms. The only real negative is that there aren’t very many included amenities. We got two dental-floss picks that weren’t replenished.The two glasses for water weren’t cleaned daily. The toilet paper wasn’t replenished and we almost ran out. We said receive clean towels daily. I lived our stay but a little more attention to details would be appreciated.

A Lovely Gem in the Heart of Camden

Right in the heart of Camden, The Hartstone Inn is a gem. The staff is attentive and even warned us a holiday parade potentially blocking our arrival thus enabling us to adjust our travel time to Camden. Our room was pretty and clean, and the church bells at night were magical. We never had to use our car to visit the fine dining options, shops, galleries, and pier. The breakfast, which was included, was delightful. Not your typical free breakfast of prepackaged goods, but executed by a wonderful chef with a variety of delicious options to choose from. There is also a small bar and fine dining on premises with a tasting menu that looked yummy. We were visiting with friends, so we did not experience The Hartstone’s dinner option. Also, the trailhead to the hike up Mt. Battie with its gorgeous views of the bay and the Atlantic Ocean is just a minutes drive away. We highly recommend this little getaway!

The hotel was okay ,hole in sidewalk at first step going out, I stepped in it and twisted my ankle, steps in hotel were real steep especially for 76 year old man, breakfast was great. workers were great, overall not worth 500 dollars a night. On my trip to Maine, I stayed in nicer places for alot less.
