Excellent front desk staff, very responsive & helpful. Beds were very comfortable. Convenient to downtown, restaurants, & boat cruises.
Lovely big room with a balcony overlooking the boats in the harbour. Cute decorations and plenty of towels. Coffee maker in the room and an excellent restaurant! Made our holiday perfect! Would stay there again!
The check in process is on a different property but very easy and well marked. Having a restaurant connected to the Inn is a huge plus. The food was excellent with lots of choices. Can’t wait to go back… 😎
Such a cute inn. Very friendly staff, delicious food at on-site restaurant, located within walking distance of everything you want to see downtown, comfortable room with nice view.
We went off season so parking was not a problem but would definitely stay there again. They have a great restaurant and you can walk to shops. Rooms overlook harbor .

Excellent staff and clean rooms. Very accommodating. Highly recommend!
Just an overnight stay, staff was friendly, room was clean and beds were comfortable. Parking was convenient and room was closet to restaurants, shopping and bars. Would go back! Pricing seemed in-line with condition of room and amenities.
Stay here for the view. I’m sure there are nicer or more luxurious places to stay, but I doubt they’ll beat the view. Room is ok, a bit dated with a motel feel but it’s clean, comfortable and located perfectly. Also, their restaurant is fantastic! Best meal so far on our trip.
I recently stayed at the Tugboat Inn. It was absolutely wonderful. The hotel and staff were great. They suggested where to eat it was just a nice place for a short vacation.

We had a king room at the end of the pier with a great view. We ended up staying an extra night, so we had to move rooms. I preferred the less expensive one still on the pier. It had more room and a nice view. The location of the hotel was walking distance to the cute down town and harbor cruses. The staff was accommodating and friendly.

Our view was great! Room was really nice.
Wendy welcomed us enthusiastically.👍
The bar manager made us delicious blackberry bourbon cocktails and gave us great details about the area. We had a super
“Lazy Lobster” dinner at the restaurant!🦞
Great stay!! Loved Boothbay!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
We enjoyed our stay here. We stayed on the 3rd floor. Had a private deck and beautiful view. Room was clean, bed was comfortable, water was hot, and the shower had good pressure. Area was great! Could walk to shops and restaurants. FYI.. room was a bit dated but it had Maine country vibes. I wouldn’t change it!
We arrived earlier than check in and were given the keys. The check in process was friendly and efficient. All staff are knowledgeable and offer suggestions to visitors. Parking was easy and nearby. The room was impeccably clean and more than adequate for the two of us. Bedding was very comfortable . The attached restaurant is okay, but the view from the rooftop cannot be beat on a nice day. We will most definitely return to the Tugboat.
