"The inn is in an old historic building, with lots of original character. Fantastic to have parking. Great location, short walk to town. We stayed in the Victory room on the first floor. Very spacious, clean and nice bedding on comfy bed. Shower was nice and hot and good water pressure. Things to know: We had a window AC but no thermostat to control heat (fortunately we had ideal weather). We were next to a restaurant in the building so had to keep curtains closed as people were walking...

Top Maine State Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Greenleaf Inn

8/10 Good

"Fun unexpected stay that provided warmth and a sense of home. It was raining so I didn’t get to enjoy amenities but staff was great! Very welcoming"

Mid-Town Motel

8/10 Good

"Our very clean room had a wonderful 1950's vibe. Shower was a little cramped but plenty of hot water. Walking distance to the harber/waterfront and most shops and restaurants. We checked-in with the owner who gave us several good recommendations."

Tugboat Inn

8/10 Good

"We were bummed that the restaurant was closed. Loved having a deck to sit on."

Topside Inn

8/10 Good

"All the staff were very attentive and the breakfast was excellent. The property location and the view of Boothbay harbor were beautiful! The only reason for not giving the Inn an Excellent rating was, we had a room in the Inn and at around 5 a.m. we were woken up by the kitchen staff banging around starting to prepare breakfast."

Fishermans Wharf Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This is a GREAT place right on the water and walking distance to everything. Staff was helpful and friendly and the room was comfortable and clean and we had a nice big balcony. Would highly recommend staying here."

Cozy 2-bedroom cottage located in the heart of inner Boothbay Harbor.

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay could not have been more perfect. The cottage is in an amazing location with perfect perspective on the activity in BBH. Kept my husband entertained while we relaxed on the porch. Not only perfect location but it is an iconic “Maine cottage”, with comfy seating inside and out. A beautiful view from every room. Kitchen was stocked with everything you would need and Hosts were available if you needed anything. We could easily walk to town and location was perfect to travel all over the state to sightsee. We honestly can’t wait to go back!!"

Captain Sawyer's Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"This property is in the heart of town convenient to everything. The breakfast was limited and not particularly satisfying. Parking was good as long as you got there early."

Oceanfront Retreat with Dock, Boothbay Harbor

8/10 Good

"Our time in Boothbay was comfortable, relaxing, and truly felt like a home away from home. The layout of the house was perfect for our group, with each bedroom having its own full bathroom, plus an additional half bath downstairs.The back porch and yard sit right along the coast, offering privacy and gorgeous harbor views. There were plenty of safe opportunities for walking and biking, and restaurants were conveniently within walking distance. We also enjoyed the historic Footbridge, a pedestrian walkway stretching across the inner harbor.This was our annual Labor Day trip to stay in one of Maine’s unique coastal homes, and this home quickly became one of our favorites. Everyone agreed we would happily return. Our host was easily available by text, and check-in and property access were simple and convenient. Overall, a wonderful and memorable stay!"

Gorgeous Views of Harbor Entrance! Walk to town, east side location.

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place. We were very comfortable there. Convenient to town, grocery store, restaurants."
