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.

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

We wanted to love our stay. The location is amazing and within walking distance to everything you need in the cute downtown. The restaurant is decent and convenient. The rooms were only ok - need updating. For $300+ a night, there were several key things lacking for us. Upon arrival, we pulled up to the office to check in, as we hadn’t been notified to do otherwise. But you actually have to check in at a completely different hotel 2 blocks away. One way road, so we had to walk down and figure it all out. Then, they don’t clean your room each day. You have to call for any supplies you need. So our room wasn’t touched up at all during our 3 nights. The nail in the coffin was they had an ice delivery truck blocking the one entrance and exit to the parking lot for 20 minutes. We were trying to leave and asked them to move, they wouldn’t and were quite rude. We then asked the office staff if they could ask the truck to move, and they wouldn’t. Said it was “just the way it is with their one way entrance”. We were really surprised they wouldn't do anything about their entire parking area being blocked for 20 minutes despite their customers trying to get in and out. We ended up being late for meeting up with people. All these things left us feeling ultimately uncared for as customers, especially for such a highly priced room.
