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 furnitureâmostly uncomfortable, awkwardly styled, and giving off more of a "warfare-chic" vibe than cozy coastal B&B.
The overall aesthetic felt rushedâlike a DIY project that didnât quite land, with sloppy paintwork and lackluster attention to detail.
Our room was, sadly, even worse. The mattress was an ancient box spring setupâlikely from the 1980sâand 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 didnât 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 showerânot 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 Anneâs Revenge has potential, but right now it feels more like a low-effort rental property than a true bed and breakfast.
