Disappointing Stay at Queen Anne's Revenge, Bar Harbor
We recently stayed at Queen Anne's Revenge and, unfortunately, the experience fell well below expectations. While the exterior has charming curb appeal and the location is convenient, the interior tells a very different story.
The lobby and common areas are decorated with what looked like hastily assembled Amazon furniture—mostly uncomfortable, awkwardly styled, and giving off more of a "warfare-chic" vibe than cozy coastal B&B.
The overall aesthetic felt rushed—like a DIY project that didn’t quite land, with sloppy paintwork and lackluster attention to detail.
Our room was, sadly, even worse. The mattress was an ancient box spring setup—likely from the 1980s—and it felt every bit of it. The springs dug into our backs, leaving us in actual pain the next day. Restful sleep was impossible. The whirlpool tub had missing parts, the ceiling fan didn’t work, and the AC unit refused to turn on, making the room uncomfortably stuffy.
To top it off, the hot water stopped working midweek, so I was forced to take an ice-cold shower—not exactly the relaxing getaway I had in mind.
Breakfast also left much to be desired. Instead of a warm, homemade meal, we were met with a small spread of store-bought cold muffins, cheap bagels, bruised apples, and old tangerines.
Queen Anne’s Revenge has potential, but right now it feels more like a low-effort rental property than a true bed and breakfast.
