Short visit

We only stayed for one night. Loved our room. We had a corner room that faced the water. Wonderful views. Especially to wake up to. The hotel feels a little “tired” but we gave it a 4/5 stars regardless. While check in is at 3 we did not get a call letting us know it was ready until well after 4. Luckily it didn’t matter because we were out in a boat. The restaurant has very nice views too. Food was ok. I ordered haddock and it surprisingly was “fishy” which means it was not exactly fresh 🙄 The location is perfect. Boothbay is a very small town so everything is walkable. We would definitely return.

We enjoyed our stay in Boothbay Harbor. Tugboat was walking distance to everything and the view was great for relaxing! Parking pass made spending time in the waterfront convenient. Food on the rooftop was excellent!

We had a room on the first floor on the dock. Beautiful views and surprisingly quiet considering it was adjacent to a very active waterfront. The property is very central to the shops and restaurants in downtown Boothbay Harbor. The staff person who checked us in at a different property that was in common ownership recommend some excellent dining options. Checkout is at 10 am, which is a bit early compared to other places we have stayed at but it was manageable. We would stay there again without hesitation.

Disliked: Room comfort

Be careful which room you get

While we love the property the room we were given was a major disappointment. In the back of the property, it was dark with no water frontage, view, outdoor space, and close to the street. When we voiced our displeasure the man at the desk wasn’t surprised but informed us he couldn’t do anything. After we went back to the room the front desk informed us we could be upgraded for an additional $20. We said we’d be happy to change. We went to the front desk and was then informed it was an additional $35 but were eager to pay whatever necessary for a better room. This room was little better with our only view facing motorcycle parking. Very sad
