The hotel is pet-friendly, with a pet lodging fee of $25 per night. Water dishes are provided at check-in. Meeting and event spaces include the Vista room and the Great Room.

“Bluenose Inn earns high marks for its location, only minutes from Acadia National Park. The live piano music adds a touch of class, though some apartment accommodations need updating. In my opinion, its blend of history, views, and access to Maine's natural beauty make it a worthwhile choice.”
