The Tugboat is an older property and it shows. The location is great for visiting Boothbay Harbor but the room is a bit rough around the edges. The key was hard to work to the door, luckily a staff member was in the area and explained the way to make it work....would have been helpfull at check in. There was an empty kleenx box with no replacement and only plastic water cupe for the coffee pot. For the price, not a gooe fit

In the charming village of Boothbay Harbor, ME. Super friendly and helpful lobby staff.
I was in room 108. Biggest issue was finding the heating units sweet spot!

Higly recommend
We had an incredible stay. The room was clean, our view from the table was the ocean and we could walk to all the shops and restaurants. Would highly recommend staying at the Tugboat Inn.

Nice hotel directly on Boothbay Harbor
Hotel was older, but well maintained. Rooms were nothing special. Bathroom was small and dark. Best thing was the location--right on a pier looking out at the harbor. Was there in off-season, so bar and restaurant were closed, which was disappointing.

Not worth the stay
Inebriated guy being loud and obnoxious in early evening near our unit. Outdated decor. Desk check-in not friendly

Rooms a little too small
The rooms were a little bit too small. Also, we were situated next to a karaoke bar that went on 9 o’clock each night and we hear the noise
