Love love love
We happened upon this hotel by chance and it is one of our favorite hotels up to this point. As soon as we stepped into the lobby we knew it was going to be perfect. The hotel lobby is the picture of a forgotten time. The dark wood floor, the velvet couches and chairs, and the open fire place set the mood immediately. The onsite restaurant was delicious and comparable in pricing to other restaurants in the area. The rooms are nicely kept with very comfortable and clean bedding. The touches of real flowers and sparkling or still water were perfect. There is an indoor widow's walk that one can check out while staying at the hotel. The free bikes and ocean walk are to nice to pass up. We loved this hotel and I cannot wait to visit again. Everyone we encountered on property were great!

Great experience
Overall everything was terrific. Loved the staff-all of them very friendly & efficient. Only bad thing I would say is the Tennis Director, the older man, was very dismissive with an obvious disdain for BPI guests vs. members of the club. Twice he displayed an arrogant attitude to my wife that was simply unacceptable. However, the young French tennis pro was terrific and deserves praise. Not sure if you have any control over his behavior but thought you should be aware.

Room was very comfortable and spacious. Elevator is vintage manual and requires staff to operate. Menu choices very good,but limited dining options in area. We came here for the cliff walk and Winslow Homer studio, only to discover the studio is not open for tours until 2023. Still, pleasant walks in neighborhood.

This is really a 140 year old inn, so they don't have to pretend to be a 140 year old inn. Laid back and unpretentious.

They should not be allowed to rent out room 101 (our room). In a hotel which we chose for the beautiful ocean views, we had a view of the walkway to the pool and the pool looked right into the other side of our room. And, we had to walk through the restaurant to get to our room. It was a disgrace.

Went to a wedding at the Black Point Inn. Was a beautiful location, staff was friendly and overall experience was great. One thing I’d change is that the elevator was old and needed an employee to operate. Not a deal breaker but minor annoyance

Perfect place for a quiet stay. Beautiful views, but it’s VERY quiet... almost tip toe too quiet... a little music overhead so you didn’t hear your neighbors stepping or full conversations from the lobby would have been nice. But, if you’re there for quiet relaxation, this place is perfect and stunning views!!

The view of the ocean, dining experience, spacious seating throughout the lobby was wonderful. The only dissatisfying part of the hotel was the AC system in the room. The AC system in our room was semi functional. The first night the room was at 75 degrees and we adjusted it down to 70. The AC system never got to 70 and ended up blowing warm air all night. After speaking with the front desk we were informed that you can only adjust the the temperature 3 degrees at a time or it won’t cool the room. The next night we adjusted the temp within 3 degree increments and at first it worked but it never held. After speaking with the front desk they sent someone up to fix it but later in the day when we returned from the beach the room was once again warm. Eventually a window unit was brought up and the gent who installed it said he just removed it from another room so apparently this is a known issue about the AC systems. The hotel staff was very kind and pleasant and offered some compensation for the trouble. It baffles me that a hotel of this caliber doesn’t invest in improving the AC system in each room. This was the only dissatisfying part about the hotel, everything else was great.

Beware "Free Breakfast"
Nice place with breakfast included. After we finished breakfast, sharing one entree so as not to abuse the "free" part, we were informed at checkout that Expedia customers were not entitled to free breakfast because of the fee taken by Expedia in the booking. We were charged $32.

classic Maine hotel
140 yo hotel and still maintains the classic Maine hotel experience. 2 very nice restaurants at the hotel and plenty of things to do on the hotel and association land. Especially liked the nice sandy beach and the awesome cliff trail for a nice hike along the rugged Maine coast.

The hotel caters more to the locals than the guest
Not welcoming. Certainly not what one would expect for the price point. Claims to be a luxury resort are greatly mistaken.

Two balconies
Staying at the Black Point was a last minute decision and whilst a bit more expensive than we'd been planning we really loved our room. We had a nice comfy sofa and two balconies over looking the pool and sea. Dinner on site was very tasty but it took a while to get served - was clearly a busy night and I'm pretty sure we were forgotten until we went up to the bar to get drinks ourselves. We were sad to leave and would have liked to have stayed a second night but unfortunately they were fully booked up

Quick vacation days
beautiful setting, nice beaches, great biking and waling stayed 3 nights wine and beer tasting, quick ride to Portland for dinners made some suggestions for room upgrades and conditions for the price paid didn't like the automatic18% gratuity which we were aware of, but would rather pay for performance if appropriate- understand it of course in that some people don't tip at all
