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.

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!

The office staff was friendly, informative and professional. We had view of the harbor, which was lovely. The room was clean and tidy and the beds were super comfy. We also dined at the restaurant on site, which was wonderful! The only issue was that the ice machine wasn’t functioning. Other than that, a beautiful place to stay. Thank you! We will definitely be visiting again.

The Tugboat Inn is a cute, clean, friendly harbor Inn. You are very close to the waterfront, is it a little outdated - yes but that is part of the charm. Loved the patio outside your room. I traveled along the East Coast, and this was the only place that had a little fridge and microwave, and I stayed at some big hotels. I would definitely come back!
