Camden Harbour Inn

My girlfriend and I are still talking about what an incredible experience we had at Camden Harbour Inn! We did the lobster package with cooking class, and it totally blew us away!. The evening's star was Chef Jose. He loves food so much, and that enthusiasm was catching. He explained to us the whole process of preparing lobster ravioli from scratch. The way he taught us made everything look so easy and fun, and he shared with us tons of pro secrets. The home-made part of cooking our own dinner made eating it that much more special. And the dinner itself was delicious – really, one of the best we've ever eaten. Aside from the class, the inn itself is just a treasure. Our room was beautiful, and waking up to harbour views was perfect. The lounge is chic and trendy, but yet still retains this outrageously warm and welcoming atmosphere. We also loved how easy it was to get around from the inn; the town itself is quaint and walkable. All of the staff we encountered were so friendly, making the entire experience so effortless. This is a must for anyone in Camden. A huge thank you to Chef Jose and the entire team for making our evening so special!

My wife and I spent 2 evenings there. Accommodations and cuisine were excellent, BUT, access to the second floor was treacherous. No elevator, only an extremely steep staircase with: a handrail on only one side, a very narrow tread, and extra high riser. Making the decent for older folks a challenge. It might be a bit considerate to inform potential guests ( in their 80's) . As nice as things were we will not return for fear of sliding down the stairs, which after asking around has happened.Don't know what there waiting for before addressing this problem.

This is our 3rd time in Camden and we finally got it right with accommodations. We visit for the annual film festival so want a hotel within walking distance of the Opera House as well as our favorite restaurant, Franny’s Bistro. The hotel is very nice, quiet, friendly. Very comfortable bed. The stairs to the third floor are not for the faint of heart. Excellent breakfast included in the price of the room.

Our room was up the VERY steep stairs, luckily, they helped with the luggage. Our room was very plain/modern, but the AC was loud, they had the old clunky window units. The bed was sadly lumpy, sunken and not comfortable at all. We were not able to sleep well, which was unfortunate for the prices they charge. At one point coming into the Hotel, we could hear and see a young woman playing music loudly on her deck and dancing on the deck. Not very appealing. They did have a nice breakfast with an assortment of choices which we enjoyed. We did not try the restaurant for dinner as the prices seemed very high.

Lovely hotel, clean rooms , well appointed, but beds were lumpy and seemed old. Front desk staff seemed new and clueless - not so helpful. Hotel is owned by two Dutch men. Who clearly pay attention to room details. My big complaint is that hotel is older historic building, with thin walls so be aware if you are a light sleeper. Also, overpriced for a "semi-luxury to be" hotel. Amenities said bike tours but that means they rent out rooms to outside bike tours. No bikes for use on premises. Finally , Breakfast at Natalie's restaurant , but although included, they require you tip.
