We loved our stay in Boothbay Harbor. Our room at the Tugboat Inn was perfect-- in our budget, clean, and a beautiful location to spend a night. We stayed in room 108. Our mini fridge was very loud so we had to unplug it for the night, and the noise from other rooms was a little loud when we were putting our young kid to bed, but other than that we even liked the early alarm clock of the lobster boats firing up and heading out for a day of fishing. The restaurant was great and we can't wait to make this an annual trip for our family!

The fried food is one of the best in the region. It is always golden in color, tasty and reasonably priced. I’ll soon be ready for more.

Everything about this establishment says Boothbay Harbor as it should be. Friendly staff, great accommodations, beautiful view and very relaxing. They don’t need to change a thing!

I must admit I was not expecting much when I booked a room at the tug boat inn. It looked dated but we were only staying one night. Well I am glad to say I could not have been more wrong. While the rooms are a little small they are very well kept and very clean. Kudos to the entire staff. From the friendliness at check to the lady prepping the rooms everything was great and very comfortable. The beds and pillows are very soft. Everything you need for a great stay including a small fridge and Keurig (with Pods). Right in the middle of this beautiful town. Now I wish we could stay a few more days.Rooms: Very clean, updated and very comfortable.Walkability: So close to everything!

My husband and I stayed 3 nights for a mini-vacation and loved our stay here. It is in a fabulous location. Our room was large, clean, well appointed and had great views and a semi-private balcony was we especially liked.

We chose the Tugboat based on a recommendation from a friend. It was my birthday and I was hungry for a hearty bowl of New England clam chowder while vacationing in Maine. Their crock of clam chowder was so disappointing, no body at all except for the crackers I added to it, tasted like butter, cream and clam juice and came in a very small crock. My husband ordered the haddock Monhegan it was a small portion and very bland, tasteless. Absolutely the worst meal we have had dining out in a long time. The rooftop bar before dinner was great and the bartender and staff were good but save your money on eating here.

As everyone said, the location is incredible! Right downtown, with beautiful views from the rooms.We were able to bring our two dogs!! The staff made them feel very welcome and it was easy to walk them from our room. We think they loved their stay here too!I was a little worried about cleanliness from reviews but we felt totally comfortable, and it was overall quite clean, just a bit dated!We (and the pups) will absolutely be back again!!

Review of restaurant: Husband and I visiting Booth Bay and decided to try Tugboat restaurant for dinner. It was prime dinner time and they were busy. A young lady at the hostess desk cheerfully greeted us and informed us it would be a few minute wait. The Host approached us and seated us at a window seat, how nice. Our waitress came right over with water and told us it was going to be a few minutes until she could return, trays of food were ready to be served. Upon returning she apologized, told us the special of the night and took our drink and dinner order. It took a good 15-20 min for our order to arrive but it was so worth the wait!! I ordered the stuffed baked Haddock which was just delicious and a generous portion with a baked potato and rosemary carrots. Piping hot and so good! Hub got Broiled Seafood medley in a wine butter sauce. He really enjoyed it, shrimp, scallops, lobster and haddock, generous portion as well. Our waitress was very pleasant and checked on us several times and refilling our water glasses. After dinner she suggested dessert and informed us one of the employees make all the desserts. We were so stuffed, we had to pass. Our dinners were 33 and 34.00. Which is comparable to other restaurants in town. We truly enjoyed our dinners ,our waitress right on the money and I would not fail to return again. Parking behind restaurant and along the street in front of restaurant, free. Recommend Debbie, Mich

Had a great 2-night stay with my wife on vacation. Incredible views from the 2nd floor and could barely hear the boats moored to the pier when they started up in the morning.Will definitely return next time we're staying in Boothbay Harbor.

It was very fun! There are several dining rooms and two outdoor decks. We sat outside and it was a gorgeous evening. I found the waitstaff very informative and accommodating. The lobster bisque was delicious as were the scallops and lobster. At first I was hesitant to go this restaurant as I thought it was probably just a tourist place but the food was delicious. And everyone that worked there was very sweet and helpful. My friend had the chicken pot pie and said it was one of the best she ever had. It's a beautiful view as well.

The location of the Tugboat is fabulous. Easy walk to everything in Booth Bay Harbor. Check in was easy and Windy (her real name) at the registration desk gave great suggestions for dinner in the area. The rooms are large, clean and comfortable but not modernized. There is no daily in room service so your making your own bed, however new towels,coffee and whatever else you may need is available at the office. We definitely would stay here again. We had a great time in Booth Bay Harbor!!
