My family and I stayed at 16 Bay View recently during a family vacation to Maine, and we had a wonderful stay. Our room had two queen beds and one bathroom, and it was located on the main floor. The bathroom was huge, which was a huge plus since we were traveling in a group, and the beds were very comfortable. We were also traveling with our dog, and the staff had treats and fresh water in the lobby. Coffee, water, and snacks were also available in the lobby, and the hotel has two restaurants. One is located off the lobby and is open most of the day. The other is a rooftop bar that serves cocktails and small plates that were super good. It's also dog-friendly, which I've never seen at a rooftop bar. (By law, the indoor restaurant is not pet-friendly, so if you're traveling with a furry friend, just be aware of that.) The views on the rooftop were incredible. I would stay again just for that. We also had a balcony in our room, which we loved. We were able to park in a lot behind the hotel for free; you just have to put a piece of paper on your dashboard that identifies you as a guest of the hotel. Location-wise, the hotel is located in the heart of downtown Camden and is only a couple of minutes away by car from the state parks.
As far as pricing goes, we paid a little over $400/night for the room, plus a fee for our dog, which admittedly is a little steep, but it seemed to be on par with what similar hotels were charging. We were also paying for two beds, so if you only need one, it'll certainly be cheaper. We did have to pay half of our bill up front as a deposit, so just be aware of that. I believe it is refundable if you need to change/cancel your reservation, unless you provide less than 48 hours notice.
