7.4/10

The hotel offers a nice view of boats and yachts from the small but rustic rooms, which could have been a bit cleaner. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond to assist, especially with WiFi issues. The location is perfect for watching harbor activities from the balcony or exploring the town's amenities. Despite limited dining options, the hotel's restaurant served excellent meals. A bit on the pricey side but worth the value for the experience.

The hotel offers a unique experience being right on BoothBay Harbor with rooms located on piers over the harbor. The location is outstanding, providing beautiful views and a comfortable bed. However, some service interactions were a bit curt, and the dining options could be improved for better value.

My stay at the hotel was quite delightful. The rooms, although small, were clean and located centrally near the town's restaurants and shops with a perfect view. The service was professional and welcoming, despite a slight rudeness encountered. The location, right on the dock, was charming and picturesque, in the heart of the village with a superb view of the harbor activities. The dining experience had its ups and downs but was generally satisfactory. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor drawbacks.
