Beautiful property, quaint, relaxing atmosphere, wish we could have stayed longer than the one night our trip allowed. Breakfast a little unusual if you're used to the chain hotels continental breakfasts, for example hot items were self-serve microwaved, but rest of the items were the usual. No complaints. Recommended.

The hotel has a nice location near a lake that's spacious with places to walk around. We didn't get to walk to the lake, but the room had a balcony with a nice view. The stay was relaxing, and the staff was very friendly. The dining area in the main building was large with a lot of tables. The breakfast had nice house made pastries. We would have liked more hot breakfast options, but overall it was good.

Nice, well kept older period property. And as with any older property there is no elevator to this three story hotel. I have sometimes suspected that when you book through Expedia, they sometimes give you a lesser room and we were assigned the third floor. Ok we dragged our bags up two flights of stairs for our three night stay. No hard feelings until night three when we returned from dinner and witnessed two members of the restaurant assisting an elderly man on a walker to his room on the third floor. INEXCUSABLE. How was he to get downstairs the next morning?

It’s an older property. The floors, walls and beds are creaking.
Photos make it look like it’s surrounded by a lot of green space but it sits right off the highway with a golf course in the back.
Quite a bit of street noise.

Room was not clean when we checked in, and the whole place is in serious need of renovations — comparable to a budget motel, not what we expected for the price. Our room looked out onto the event tent, which blocked any real view and made the space feel dark and closed-in, almost like a dungeon. It also had a persistent damp smell. To make things worse, we found bugs in the room during our stay. Breakfast was minimal, nothing that reflected the price we paid. Staff were not particularly welcoming either; no smiles or warmness, felt very transactional. For close to $300 a night we expect a much higher standard across the board. Cleanliness, condition, food, and hospitality all fell short. Not worth the cost.

The outside appearance was nice. The inside just blah. Desk clerk, who was watching tv, told me quickly where the room was- up two sets of stairs, but did not offer any assistance with my bags. I’m a retiree and lugging stuff up was not easy for me. Room was clean but poorly decorated. View was nice. The internet worked only occasionally. Annoying. The front desk staff was not welcoming and downright rude. Continental breakfast- blah. It was an expensive place to stay and I had expected much more.

The hotel is claimed to be a 4 star but it’s not more than 2. Location is nice but rooms were less than the average of a simple motel. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a room on the first floor and have a partial view of the hills and pool, I say partial because they have built a tent close to the pool and attached to the building, so it blocks the view. If you’re unlucky like we were, you’ll get a room at the pool level (basement) and have the window just blind, facing the inside of tent, and paying a fortune because we thought it was worth based on photos and reviews. The room didn’t even have a refrigerator, imagine. Breakfast (included when I booked the room) was the most ridicuolous thing I’ve ever seen in a hotel: some frozen mini sandwich, or a nutri gain snack bar. I was shocked, for a moment I thought, this is the snack area, but no, that is the breakfast they offer for a 300$ a night. They had coffee at least. I usually never write bad reviews but 300$ a night for this, was just unacceptable.

A wonderful, quiet place just a couple of miles north of Acadia NP and not just a paradise for golfers. Unfortunately, their restaurant is closed on Mondays, but the staff at reception gave us a couple of useful hints. Breakfast was amazing and the view from the deck is breathtaking!

The Lucerne Inn is a charming and well-maintained hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, with all the necessary amenities. The surrounding views are peaceful and very pleasant.
The complimentary breakfast is simple but decent, with fruits, cereal, bottled juice, coffee, and a few frozen breakfast items.
The staff were friendly, welcoming, and provided good service throughout our stay. Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable experience, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing stay.

Room was clean and tidy and the outside property is beautiful. This is an old, historic inn that definitely needs some updates and a more hospitable check-in manager. No “hello or welcome”, he just said “step over here” (in a dark corner) and “I need the card you paid with”. I responded with “Hello how are you today?” Not a welcoming friendly vibe from the front desk staff who are as poorly dressed as the inn. It’s obvious this place is still open due to its weddings and event venues. Carpet in dining room stinks, mattresses and pillows are as old as the inn and breakfast is meh. At least wash the front outside stairwell - its a dirty, moldy eyesore.

The Lucerne Inn needs some love. Throw some money at the rooms to make much-needed upgrades, please. Level up your grade of TP/tissue, towels, and put some real glass in the room (instead of plastic cups). The breakfast was truck-stop grade — cellophane wrapped egg sandwiches. For the $$$ it was at best, like staying in a 1975 dormer at camp.

This was a spectacular beautiful historic Inn built in 1818 with the most beautiful view of the mountains and Phillips lake from our window and it has a beautiful fine dining with the best food I had over all in Bangor! The Mother’s Day brunch was to die for! We definately look forward to staying here again on our next visit! As a historical place I had to learn how to use the shower sprayer, but after the 1st time it was no problem. The staff was super friendly and be sure and ask them about Nathan the old caretaker who murdered his wife and her lover in room 8 then committed suicide in room 5! I highly recommend this place! Just keep in mind during the winter months and downtime season the dinningroom and bar area are closed on Monday and Tuesdays.

The place has the feel of a bed and breakfast, cozy but lacks quality of amenities.
The shower didn’t get super hot and steamy, and that is what we were looking for after a long day hiking. Also the stream was not that strong.
The included breakfast was kind of poor: yogurt and frozen breakfast sandwiches; not what you expect on this prize tag.
The personal was super nice and make you feel welcome! 5 start to them!!

The Inn is historic and beautiful from the outside and in a lovely setting. The dining room was pleasant and we used our 10% off coupon we were given in check in to have dinner, which was fine. Our room, however, was disappointing. It was freezing cold when we entered, which did not make us feel welcome. One heat source was an electric fireplace thing that did not put out much heat, and the other was a wall unit that didn’t regulate the temperature well. We were either way too hot or way too cold all night, so we slept poorly. The carpet was scratchy, which matters because we used that space to stretch and it was uncomfortable. The bathroom fan was incredibly loud. The toilet was very low. My mother, for example, would not have been able to use it had she been with us. My husband asked me if it was a child’s toilet when he saw it. The rest of the bathroom was meh. The website talks about beautiful antiques things in the rooms but our room was bare save for one small painting. Our room was just a big let down in just about every way.

I will not stay at the Lucerne Inn again.

Such a lovely Inn! The colonial and antique furniture throughout is just beautiful. The room itself was very clean and comfortable. Electric fireplace in my room was a nice touch and I always love towels warmers! I stayed downstairs , directly under the pub, so it was a bit noisy. I’d definitely suggest a different room for quieter sleep. Also, no elevator , so if you stay downstairs be light in the luggage . The bed WAS like a cloud , though :) ! The jacuzzi bath hadn’t been run in a while and had some sediment in the blowers but after I cleaned it up , it was quite nice and relaxing . The staff was super friendly and very helpful ! Very efficient! I’d love to come when I could stay a little longer and really check out the property more !

They said it was being worked on at 11:30pm when we arrived, but it was not fixed the next mornimg before we left (around 10am). I would have appreciated it if they would have at least waived the additional charge for the 5th person or at least a verbal appology for the inconvenience, but they did not. However the property is unique and the back yard views are gorgeous. So inspite of no hot water and the unexpected additional charge, it was a good place to stay between the airport and Bar Harbor.
