The only reason we don’t give all 5 stars is lack of room cleaning and resupplying towels, coffee etc. Was this a staffing shortage or general policy? Loved every thing else!

This property in Booth at couldn’t have been any more convenient to walking the harbor area of Boothbay. We had reserved an end unit with in sits exactly on the dock and boats were moored no less than 20 yards from our window (note: not all rooms had this feature) but this is why we chose this hotel. And it was very affordable compared to many others. The furniture is worn, but the bed’s linens were crips and clean and the bed was great. Rooms are tight but as this is an older hotel-that was how they made them back in the day. The staff couldn’t have been more accommodating and friendly. A special shout out for Pam!

Quaint boating village
We had a room that was on the edge of the pier. Lovely water view. Very tiny room though- small rack for hanging clothes just off the bed so my husband kept hitting his head on it. Bathroom is super tiny too and affords no privacy unless the pocket door is fully closed. Next visit I would chose a room with a patio or small deck instead of the end room. Unfortunately the restuarant was closed on Wednesday and we only stayed one night. Luckily lots of options for dining in the town were open.

We were in a room that was average but clean but rooms in a n adjacent one story building that looked like a shed,Building not appealing! Have potential visitors ask the number of room and stay clear of 412 and adjacent room in same building! Room not worth $

Great location
Great location. Good size room. My only concerns were that the room had a bit of a smell, common to old hotels, which improved as your run the air and the parking is a struggle if you arrive around dinner when Tugboat Inn Restaurant is active because you share parking with the restaurant patrons. The checkin is also currently about a quarter mile away at another hotel lobby, which though there were signs was confusing. Despite those issues, we still loved it. The people in Boothbay Harbor are wonderful. It’s beautiful and historic. I would also recommend it to friends and family but I will give them a heads up to arrive a little early for parking and where to go to check in.

We stayed at the Tugboat Inn 32 years ago and wanted to stay here again for nostalgia’s sake. The room hasn’t changed in 32 years! The only thing we noticed was different was the flat screen TV. It’s a cute place, on the water, walkable to the cute little town. Room was clean but well-worn, small, and loud. The upstairs neighbors sounded like they were clomping around in clogs. Pretty expensive for the room you get, but it does have lots of charm. Our dinner at the attached restaurant was very good!

Great place for a 3 day stay in Boothbay area. The town is easily walkable. The only slightly goofy thing was having to register at the sister Inn down the road but at least it’s on the way to the Tugboat on the one way street.
