What guests think

At 16 Bay View, travelers consistently praise the central, walkable Camden location and well‑appointed rooms with fireplaces, soaking tubs, balconies, and harbor views, along with friendly, attentive staff that create a cozy, boutique experience.

Many enjoy the complimentary breakfast, the intimate Vintage Room bar, and the rooftop lounge’s views when open. Recurring drawbacks include inconsistent room cleanliness and limited housekeeping, tight or paid parking, occasional street or bar noise, and periodic closures of the rooftop or kitchen. Expect a charming, centrally located stay with standout amenities and service, but check policies and availability.

Hotel is good, fine, not phenomenal or great. Parking bit tricky but manageable b/c fellow at front desk kind and helpful, will handle car for you. Has good attitude, wants guests to enjoy themselves. Location of property excellent, right in heart of Camden. Hotel elevator very slow; suggest using stairs unless hauling luggage.

What a perfect ending to our trip up and down the coast of Maine. Our room and balcony overlooked the street and we had such a good time people watching! The rooftop lounge was perfect. Good food, great drinks, and an incredible view of the harbor. We have stayed in Camden several times, but this location and hotel was the best. The bathroom was amazing and bed very comfortable. Everything we wanted to do was within walking distance. We will return.

The hotel was clean. The free breakfast was delicious every morning and the staff was friendly and accommodating. The only complaint I have is that the rooftop area, one of the reason we picked 16 Bay View, was closed for the season and there was no prior notice that it would be closed.

This is a very nice hotel. It is a bit pricey but well located in beautiful Camden. The only negative is that parking is a mess. The staff are all friendly and the breakfast is great. The pillows are not great, however

It is a great property, but the parking is a bit sparse. It is close to everything, but many establishments were closed due to it being a Monday. And because the weather was rainy the rooftop was closed. The hotel lobby bar was cozy and the wait staff was great.

I’ve been staying at Bay View for many years. It’s always been top notch as far as cleanliness, etc. walked into our room and it was filthy. The front desk was nice enough to show us two other rooms that weren’t a whole lot better but being that we drive all the way from Mississippi, we ended up staying. It came with a hefty price tag to almost a grand for two nights. Far from what you would expect at that cost. I’m very disappointed.

Cher General Manager Erick Anderson, L’hôtel 16 Bay View est superbe : une bâtisse rénovée avec goût, au cœur de Camden, proche de la marina. Les chambres sont spacieuses, bien équipées, avec une grande salle de bain (baignoire à jets et douche), terrasse et cheminée. Le petit déjeuner est délicieux, fait maison, et le personnel est chaleureux et attentionné. Mais pour un hôtel à 350–450 $/nuit, la propreté est le vrai point faible : poussière sous les lits, sur les meubles, et dépôts dans la baignoire à jets dès son utilisation. À ce niveau de prix, la chambre doit être impeccable. Cela montre un manque de contrôle du ménage, et c’est vraiment le point le plus décevant du séjour. Même de petits détails, comme une boîte de mouchoirs quasi vide, traduisent un manque de vérification. Autres points : le ménage quotidien n’est pas automatique, ce qui n’a pas de sens pour un hôtel de ce standing ; le parking facturé 15 $/jour, bien qu’indiqué gratuit sur le site, et une salle de sport à 2 km, non précisée clairement. Le potentiel est énorme, le personnel bienveillant, mais un renforcement du nettoyage, du suivi et de la transparence des services est indispensable pour que 16 Bay View atteigne enfin l’excellence qu’il mérite.

There are many things we LOVED about this stay. The doube sided fireplace, the huge soaking tub, the double balconies with the beautiful views. The bed was very comfy and the hotel is very convenient to all things Camden. However, there was a piece of trash that was left in the shower along with what appeared to be a cleaning rag. The plug for the tub had mold on the interior and there was chipped paint on the wall around the tv. A little more attention to detail and the room would have been perfect.

We truly enjoyed our stay here. The staff were all very friendly and hospitable. The view from our suite was lovely. There was a slightly unpleasant/antiseptic smell in our room and the carpet was worn (not that clean seeming). The bathroom also had a sulphur smell (?). Not sure. If the carpet was replaced and/or wood, I believe it would be 100% improved. Rooftop bar was fantastic!

Fantastic location, and wonderful staff. However at this price point, I should not have to consider wearing flip flops in the shower. There’s a mold issue in the shower and though the shower head is very nice and modern it wasn’t as clean as it should be. The room carpet was very dirty, there food crumbs in night stand drawers and whole loose chips on the beautiful fancy chairs! First thing we saw when we walked in the room, pointed out to front desk staff who happened to be walking by, they seemed shocked and apologetic. The room needed a professional deep clean. Fiends that traveled with us and stayed in another room on a different floor said the same thing about mold in shower. Again great location and very kind staff just needed it to be cleaner for what we paid.

This is a beautiful property. It has a nice rooftop bar that overlooks the harbor. They have a full breakfast included. The rooms are top notch with a fireplace, soaker tub, separate rain shower, heated bathroom floors, balcony and plush bedding and towels galore. They even give you a fuzzy warm blanket to use. Since it was cold all the heating amenities came in handy. I really loved this whole place, the vibe and the staff were on point. The only thing I recommend is getting a harbor view room. The street side overlooks a postal warehouse. Also room 34 is directly in front of the ice machine, which is convenient but noisy at all hours. Overall if Camden wasn’t so lackluster i would return to this place without a doubt.

My best friend and I stayed here for 2 nights and we absolutely loved this hotel. Our room was beautiful, comfortable, and well-appointed. We each enjoyed the soaking tub and spa shower. The fireplace was also a nice touch! We very much enjoyed the complimentary breakfast - much more than just run-of-the-mill continental offerings. Think locally made maple bacon donuts, eggs, and sausage. Parking is available, but a bit tricky. We would absolutely stay here again.

The hotel itself was wonderful- very clean and comfortable. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. The bar downstairs was also really good, and the breakfast was really good for being included with your stay. My advice is to get a room on the ocean side if you're a light sleeper. The hotel is directly across from a bar that is open until 1am and it was very noisy. Also, there is a bell that rings every hour (one ring for each hour of the day). I would definitely stay here again, but on the water side.
