A hidden gem!
Absolutely amazing! I was super happy and impressed! The couple who run this are amazing and this is such a perfect location. Minutes walk from down town and 7 min from the garden! This was perfect for my boyfriend and myself and it was such a pleasant get away!

Winter getaway
We came to Boothbay harbor area to finish Christmas shopping and attend a few events. I was searching for a place to stay and Harborage had a room. Its so beautiful, clean and walking distance to the downtown. I made dinner reservations ahead of time although they have a notebook in the room with recommendations.

Lovely Inn at Boothbay
The hosts were friendly and extremely helpful. The in-room Breakfast was such a treat. The comfort level of the bed/bedding was A+. We will be returning to the Harborage on our next trip to Boothbay.

Property was fair. Our room 1&2 had no view of the ocean. We paid dearly for an ocean view. The rooms on 2nd and 3rd floor had views. You had to ask for everything at desk. We didn’t even have a hair dryer in the room. Food was fair. Again if you didn’t ask ahead of time you didn’t get salt, pepper, ketchup. Inn keeper was attentive but I would not stay there again. Eating on a tiny table in a dark room wasn’t very relaxing.

Thank you for staying with us, we appreciate your feedback. At the Harborage Inn we work around the clock to make our guest’s experience as enjoyable as possible. Our rooms and suites are uniquely designed and vary in size and location, with different views from each room, so if any specifics are very important we encourage to contact us prior your stay and we will do our best to accommodate. Since some of our suites have no ocean views and others do, all of our suites on Expedia are advertised as rooms with garden or city view. Suite 1&2 is modern, completely renovated, spacious two room suite with two separate bedrooms, huge bathroom with 2-person jacuzzi tub, walk in shower and double sink vanity, floor heating, and much more. Also, all of our Oceanside and Waterfront rooms have direct and very best views. All of our rooms are equipped with modern amenities and hairdryers are provided in each room inside of top drawer in bathroom vanity. Our room service breakfast is cooked to order with multiple options each morning and all condiments are available and gladly provided at any time by our staff that is here 24/7 making sure our guests have the best possible stay.

We were lucky enough to stay at the Harborage Inn due to a last minute cancellation. The Inn was perfect! The inn was recently renovated complete with faux fireplace and stunning views of the harbor. Delicious breakfasts were delivered to us each morning where we enjoyed them at the outside private table overlooking the harbor. The innkeepers were delightful and felt like old friends. The inn is within walking distance to the town which is full of wonderful shops and restaurants. Our 2 night stay there was absolutely delightful.

Gardens Aglow Weekend Stay
The manager, Alex, was wonderful! He went out of his way to drive my 2 friends and me to the Gardens Aglow event and then returned to pick us up. He was on time, friendly and kind. We felt well taken care of. Our room was great, clean, with everything we needed and a great view. The breakfast (delivered to our room) was delicious. We three will definitely be staying here again!

Nice hotel on the harbor
This was a very nice coastal bed & breakfast, in a good location, pleasant service, somewhat spartan but functional rooms. It had good views off the balcony. Only negative was the layout meant that there were often people sitting a few feet away from the only windows in the bedroom so it was necessary to keep curtains closed.

We loved our room because of the bed, bathtub, and refrigerator. We loved the view from our deck and the close proximity to the piers, shopping, and dining. Our host, Miles, was wonderful, intelligent, and interesting. I loved the flowers and watered them just in case they needed it.

If your yardstick is 3 star hotels, you're good
The inn is run by caring and attentative managers (owners?) and it was clean. Our disappointment to be fair is probably because we usually stay in 4 star hotels. Our room was very clean but the bathroom was smaller than an RV bathroom. Shower barely room to turn around in and could only open the bathroom door when standing in it or in front of the toilet. The sink was in the bedroom yet the hair dryer was mounted in the bathroom which had no mirror. The room had no closet. There was a pole mounted on the wall to hang things. The room entry door was a glass door with a shower curtain on a rod for privacy. Not very secure feeling although the area is certainly safe and not an issue. The windows that had mini blinds were more light filtering than anything else. I don't mind the sun waking me up but don't like to try and fall asleep by the light of street lights and other commercial building lights. Minor things? Sort of, but not to us.

Thank you so much for staying with us! We appreciate your feedback as we always look for new ways to improve our guest's experience. As new owners, we have recently renovated all of our rooms and we do our best to include the same amenities between all of our rooms: King size bed, private bathroom, refrigerator, AC, smart TV, high speed WIFI, Keurig coffee machine, parking on site and room service cooked to order breakfast. We have 12 rooms in total, divided into 3 categories: Standard, Deluxe and Oceanfront. Only 2 of 12 rooms are our Standard King Rooms, smaller in size (250sqft) with walk in showers only, great as budget friendly option for guests looking for the best value in downtown of Boothbay Harbor. All other rooms (10 of 12) are larger in size (440-550 sqft) with walk in closets, larger bathrooms with tub and shower combination plus rooms & suites with 2 person jet jacuzzis and direct ocean views, we are proud to offer a room for everybody. We are constantly improving our rooms and are hoping to host you another time in one of our Deluxe or Oceanside Room or Suite! Thank you so much!

Great view and near town. It would have been good to know we had to walk up and down three flights of stairs. No elevator, though they did carry our luggage up for us.

Thank you so much for staying with us. We appreciate it so much! Our Inn has 11 rooms on 3 floors with only 2 flights of stairs to get to the top floor. There are rooms on the second and first floor with very few or no stairs and we wish we had you in one of those rooms had we known that the stairs would be an issue for you prior your stay. Our rooms on the top floor have the best views (being up high) and most guests have no issue with 2 flights of stairs (14 steps) in total. Thank you once again and we hope to host you again very soon!

The Innkeepers were welcoming and helpful. The room was lovely and charming with a surprisingly spacious refrigerator and freezer and a Keurig coffee maker. There is plenty of outdoor space with a spacious shared deck with chairs and tables. a nice lawn with Adirondack chairs at the water's edge, and a dock with seating as well. Breakfast, which was delivered to our room, was excellent.We plan to return on our next trip to Boothbay Harbor.

A little Gem of a hotel in Boothbay Harbour
An excellent 3 night stay - the inn was well equipped & extremely comfortable. Very convenient for the waterfront & we loved the walk over the footbridge. The parking was excellent & the breakfasts which were delivered to our room each day, were very tasty & varied. The room (no7 ) was very spacious & comfy with a good view of the water.

All amenities were of the highest quantity. Their breakfast could compete with any 5 star hotel, which I think they are. The staff was extremely friendly and met any and all our needs. Spectacular views of the bay while sitting on our deck and while sitting in the hot tub.

Beautiful unit, well maintained. Great hot tub overlooking the waterfront. Breakfast was amazing each day. If staying in the area check out Marcel's Submarine (sandwiches) for lunch and Ports of Italy for dinner is a must. Stay away from Brady's.
