    The property is beautiful and a great location. They had music outside in the afternoon which was wonderful. Being on the third floor!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    So incredibly charming. The staff was so friendly, and the hotel has a beautiful dining and outdoor patio area. The rooms are what we expected for this type of preserved property, not spacious but again, what we expected. Comfortable bed, quiet and walkable to everywhere downtown. I would highly recommend.

    Locely place in a very nice location AC wasnt great, but it is not a deal breaker. Overall the place and staff were great

    The proximity to the harbor and the breakfast were good. However, the room was only cleaned one of the three nights we were there. There was no staff available in the evening, and we had to hunt for some fresh towels so we could take a shower when we got back from sightseeing.

    Beautiful quaint hotel, they definitely took the time to decorate and add amenities to the rooms. We stayed in the Paris room and loved it. The hotel is in walking distance to downtown Camden, so much to do. I highly recommend staying there.

    Excellent stay at Hartstone Inn. Beautiful spot right in Camden close to everything you will need on your stay. I will definitely come back again and enjoy their hospitality.

    Most importantly, no one mentioned that the heat pump system was inoperable, while the outside temp was about 50F. When I tried to start the gas fireplace, it didn't work either. The staff tried their best, and finally the manager came and got it running in manual mode. The room became warmer, then way too hot (80F) so we had to switch that off. The manager brought a small electric heater and we discovered a small, rusty baseboard heater in the bathroom which we used all night to keep the room warm. We can't comment on the breakfast since we left early and ate breakfast in town.

    A very centrally located property close to everything great about Camden. Outstanding breakfast and welcoming staff. I was told that I'd received an "Upgraded room," (Provence) which turned out to be a closet-sized room overlooking a roof with various HVAC pipes. After staying in "The Loft" for the same price a year ago, this "upgrade" felt like a joke. They were very nice about relocating me to "The Mansard," but the room was directly above Elm street and very noisy even with its third floor location. It was a beautifully appointed room with a comfy bed and giant jacuzzi soaking tub, but the room smelled heavily of insecticide, and I began wheezing a bit. At that point, I didn't want to complain again, so I opened a window and was able to breathe better.

    The location was perfect. Megan and the staff were very friendly and very polite. The bed was super comfy and the breakfast was superb. The property sits on the main road leading into Camden and you can hear the 18-wheelers braking, which can be a nuisance late at night.

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    Location is central in Camden. Parking included. This is the cutest B&B - cozy, beautifully decorated, friendly staff. Bed was very comfortable. We unfortunately did not have breakfast in the AM but everything from the kitchen the night before around dinner service smelled delicious. Nothing!

    Located close to downtown Camden. The manager was very helpful.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Breakfast was lovely-service exceptional . They ran out of avocados midweek so no more avocado toast!? Room very cramped but first floor as requested. Chairs exceptionally uncomfortable so could not remain in room to read!

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Breakfast was good. My husband and I both had waffles. French press coffee was good and the setting was lovely.
