My boyfriend and I went to Blind Tiger for a weekend getaway for his birthday and had a wonderful time! Upon arrival to our room, the hotel had already gone above and beyond, writing a personalized birthday note with some complementary birthday cake chocolates waiting for us on our bed! The room itself was tastefully decorated, the bed was comfortable with soft sheets and squishy pillows, and we loved that there was a fireplace in the room to cozy up in front of. I do wish the tub was bigger or was jetted but the bathroom was also nice with some high quality shower amenities, and there were waffle robes in the cabinet to wear. The hotel itself felt like a step back in time with amazing decor and architecture and had a very funky but cozy vibe, which I loved. I also really loved that there was a whole kitchen full of goodies for purchase and complementary tea and coffee, as well as fresh logs for the fireplace which you could get at any time. The owners provided great service through text and phone and were quick to respond with any questions. In the morning, they left delicious breakfast bags and fresh brewed coffee that could be picked up and brought to your room. I feel the hotel did a great job with making it work as a b&b with covid restrictions in place,and I felt very safe and comfortable. Thank you Blind Tiger for a lovely night away!…

Just stayed at Blind Tiger for the weekend with my boyfriend. We were looking for a cute spot that had charm but also luxury. We stayed in the room titled Eight Bells, and I didn’t want to leave. I loved the unique design features and thoughtful details throughout the hotel. The beds were so comfortable. Even though they had to alter certain things for corona, I still loved the honor pantry and complimentary tea and coffee offerings. I can’t wait to come back when things go back to “normal” and see the hotel in full swing!

We stayed in the Daymark room and it was wonderful! Plenty of space and with a wonderful working fireplace. They have a seamless contactless check in and check out process with COVID, and if you need anything all you have to do is text the number given to you and they will make sure you are taken care of! I even asked for restaurant recommendations and the woman working went above and beyond to give me multiple detailed recommendations. Would definitely recommend for a beautiful Maine getaway.

We absolutely fell in love with this hotel. We booked the wonderful Event Records room, highly impressed. We enjoyed the fireplace place, since the weather was so cold, and we enjoyed using the record player that was in the room. We spent lots of time also cozying up to the roaring fire that was constantly burning in the living room. We even played a couple games of pool , downstairs in the old “speakeasy” The hotel gave us a nice breakfast each morning (limited due to covid) The hotel is walking distance to town; about a mile. The staff was amazing. We had a wonderful time . Would highly recommend and we will definitely stay again.

we loved out 1 night stay at Blind Tiger. With everything going on with Covid, the service here was impeccable and the staff adjusted interactions to be "covid friendly". The hotel manager responded to me within minutes via text/email, and provided us with everything we needed. I loved the fireplace in the room as well as the list of restaurants provided for take out and delivery. In the morning they provided a light breakfast for us as well, where we picked up on our own from downstairs (again, no need for contact). Would definitely stay here again.
