Hotel Review: the Inn at Camden Place; Camden, Maine
The Inn at Camden Place is a bit of a hybrid inn-boutique hotel. It’s a very basic inn, without all the amenities of a hotel or bed & breakfast, but still had a small, charming feeling. We enjoyed chatting with the inn keeper, Judy, but found that most of the other guests beat us in age by…
