SO disappointed 😞

We were very disappointed in Homeport Inn and Tavern. We were not aware that our room had to share a bathroom down the hall with another room. I would never expect a room at that price to have no bathroom of its own. At $300 a night for 3 nights (over $900 prepaid). For that much money we should have at least had a bathroom of our own. It was so uncomfortable that we left after the first night and took the financial loss on the other two nights. The owner did not offer to make it right even though there were other rooms available (per the VACANCY sign out front. Also-the tavern which is downstairs is terribly overpriced for awful food and charges each person a cover charge to pay the little jazz band in the bar area (even though we were seated in the dining room and were not at all interested in the band/bar in the other room). The food was awful. I had a $24 grilled chicken Ceasar salad (they charge $16 for the salad and another $8 for 1/2 a chicken breast) and the tiny piece of chicken was completely raw in the middle. We travel a LOT and have stayed in hotels, motels, inns all over the world, but I have never been disappointed like this in accommodations. This inn takes 1st and only place in ‘most disappointing vacation stay ever’, It was quite obvious the owner is just grabbing for money in any and every way possible - even at the discomfort and disappointment of her guests. I can’t see this place lasting.

You should stay, wonderful historic inn

I highly recommend staying at Homeport Inn and Tavern, it’s a beautiful property and the owner and host is extremely friendly. The property is historic and very nicely renovated. Beautiful, and I mean beautiful common areas and up to date comforts that you don’t always find in an historic inn. You should definitely stay. We also highly recommend the attached Tavern.Trust me when I say that it’s not your typical bar food. I had the halibut and my partner had the ribs. Both entrees were delicious. The tavern hosts musical venues and jam sessions. We were there and had the opportunity to listen to Keltic music; it was magical.

Pleasant surprise

The hotel is obviously an old and beautiful mansion of days gone by. It is well kept, but not perfect. The lower level is a tavern which was convenient because my husband and I didn't want to drive to a restaurant at the end of a long day. Decent pub food. Check-in was a bit confusing. We didn't read all the info ahead of time but the Tavern staff helped us get settled. The breakfast was very good and had many choices but you need to get there early. The coffee was excellent. The room was spacious but we would have appreciated a small sofa or extra chair. The bathroom was clean and well equipped. The wifi was fine. The windows were not operable, maybe for security. I would stay here again.

I need to brag about this gem we found. Originally picked it for the midsummer night's feels. We This place was a perfect midpoint between Boston Airport and Acadia NP. The Homeport Inn has a restaurant (tavern) on site. Live music dinner specials. The provided gourmet breakfast with farm to table eats. Built in 1865 by a local Sea Captain. The history and architecture was so beautiful. Great deal since we'd built up so many points. Highly recommend if youre looking for quiet and away from the crowds.

Great little B&B with a cool history. We were greeted by the owners upon arrival who were super nice and gave us the lay of the land before leaving us on our own. There is a tavern located below the rooms with a private entrance for guests. The music from the tavern can be a little loud if you're planning on going to bed before 10pm, but the food & service at the tavern was FANTASTIC (chef prepared and inspired - don't miss out on the specials!) Even with few guests during our off season stay, breakfast was warm and ready for us when we made our way to the enclosed veranda in the morning. Highly recommend this little slice of heaven.
