Parking was challenging. Their lot is small and very hilly near the street. Room was very cramped and musty.

We loved the location of The Tugboat Inn - our room was on the pier over the water. We found the room to be dated - furniture had nicks, the pictures on the walls were faded and dreary, the carpet had seen better days, and the toilet made awful noises and we discovered that the water supply was almost completely shut off and it wasn't filling up properly. Just seems like things could be updated to make the room cheerier and more up-to-date.

The ladies from the office were so lovely. We had to call for late check in and had a little mishap at check out. I wish we had gotten her name. she was the more mature woman who was so sweet & gracious. We cannot wait to return Boothbay for a stay!

Definitely overpriced for what we received. Rented a king with a view just under $200 per night. Room was very small, an average motel room, recently redone and cute, if you don't look too closely at the shoddy craftsmanship. Restaurant wasn't open for the season yet, so no food. I'm assuming they would serve breakfast, but I don't know. A continental breakfast option would have been nice for the price and since they weren't serving food. The ocean view is a bit misleading. It's a view of the marina and marinas only look nice from a distance. You can't really see open ocean. Early checkout, 10am, felt rushed. Never found the hot tub. An 11am checkout time would have given us time to enjoy it. We both woke up awful sore from the mattress and would have been thankful for it. Woke up with 3 bug bites on face and back... not sure from where. Wife hadn't received any. No signs of the dreaded bedbugs in my cursory examination. Though I did find a water bottle and other trash from a previous guest behind the side table and under the bed. Just bagged our clothes in plastic and took extra hot showers. All in all, it wasn't a terrible stay, just not what we expected from a $200/night room. With the limited amenities, it was a $110-120/night experience at best.

The Tugboat was recommended to us by a friend. This is an old school type of hotel. No fancy smart tv but a very nice tv. No fancy furniture, but a very comfortable bed. Nice view of the harbor from our room. We walked into the small community and sampled the bars and restaurants. Very enjoyable stay.

Amazing stay-wonderful staff

The room has a BEAUTIFUL view! The stay itself was great! The service itself was absolutely amazing! The were so kind. We were traveling for our first time with our newborn and ended up forgetting a hat of hers there. Not only did they call to tell us that we left it there.. they offered to ship it to us! There's no way they could have/would have known that hat was our daughter's first hat and was special to us. But it meant the world that they even thought to save it and call us. Wonderful experience.
