I Would Definitely ReBook

First time staying at this hotel, but I have been coming to the East Boothbay region for 20 years. Stayed in the pier building and it was well worth it just for the view alone. I just happened to pick the weekend the rements of past hurricanes from the south worked its way up so it was extremely windy making the balcony good for 5 minutes at a time lol The bed I could have just stayed in all day and been happy as a clam, my first night I slept 12hrs which was much needed. The complementary breakfast was delicious and a good variety, which my other half always made sure i was up for as he lives for breakfast.

We stayed at the end of the season to view the foliage and visit the pumpkin fest. The inn was nicely decorated and had amazing views of the harbor. The inn had nice amenities like a fire pit and free breakfast. We were also pleased at it proximity to booth bay harbor shops and restaurants.

Front desk employee was super nice. This is a nice place to stay however, we were on the top floor and when you walk the dresser shook so i was worried with every step i took that the room below was hearing all the footsteps. This is also a place is quite after 9pm so if your with friends and like to stay up late like we do its kind of a bummer. We would have loved to sit outside and enjoy the weather but the spiders were in abundance.

Very nice location on the water. Salt water pool available. Kayaking and paddle boards for use. Restaurant on site. Room was updated. Bathroom is small, but room is decent size. Parking is a bit tight but restaurant provides alternate parking if needed. We were on the bottom floor of the Anchor Building. I think I’d recommend top floor as we had a heavy walker above us. Overall, nice stay and we’d stay again.
