People Make the Difference
Pros:

The staff at 18 Bay View made the difference between ordinary and excellent. From the front desk to house keeping and everything in between, each person we met made us feel welcome and comfortable. Location is convenient and Camden Maine is just gorgeous.

I would say the worst part was sleep. Too hot, too noisy, uncomfortable bed.
Pros:

Bathroom was okay. Large. Nice hot water. Tile was strange. Overall it was better than average. The breakfast was nice. The front desk was very nice. The people who worked at the hotel were quite nice too.

Cons:

I thought the bed was uncomfortable. The noise in the morning was awful. Dump trucks coming and going starting at 4:30 am. I wouldn't say the room felt totally clean. On the surface yes, but upon closer look, no.

Lovely boutique hotel in the heart of Camden
Pros:

We stayed two nights at 16 Bay View, and it was the nicest of our 9-day Maine trip. We had a street/city view king room on the third floor. (There’s an elevator.) The room was beautifully appointed with a walk in rain shower and separate jetted tub that was perfect after a day on the road. The room had a balcony we didn’t really use, but we enjoyed the gas fireplace. Breakfast in the Vintage Room was hot and tasty with homemade pumpkin bread that was absolutely delicious. The rooftop bar was a nice spot for drinks before heading out to dinner. The only slight negative was that daily housekeeping is by request only. That wasn’t made clear at checkin. But it was a very minor point. Overall it was a terrific stay, and I’d go back!

Beautiful Room, But Service and Communication Fell Short
Pros:

The room itself was absolutely beautiful — two fireplaces, a heated bathroom floor, a soaking tub, and an amazing shower made it feel luxurious and relaxing. Unfortunately, the overall experience didn’t match the high price point.

Both the bar and restaurant were closed with no advance notice. When traveling to Maine in the shoulder season, we carefully choose hotels based on convenience and available amenities, so finding out on arrival that these were unavailable was a major disappointment.

On top of that, our room was never refreshed. Breakfast dishes were left out all day, even after texting and speaking with the front desk. The staff generally seemed checked out and uninterested in ensuring guests had a pleasant stay.

This was a five-star price tag with a three-star experience at best. A beautiful property, but the lack of communication and attention to detail really diminished what could have been a great stay.

Perfect location and views
Pros:

The location is perfect for exploring downtown Camden! They have a nice bar on the roof for guests, with awesome views of the water. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with a nice balcony on the water side. The breakfast was also tasty. This is our 2nd time staying here!

Cons:

The only downside was the price is a bit high and if you're on the top floor, you can hear people moving chairs and walking around in the rooftop bar until close to 10pm.
