Tugboat inn is a great place to stay. It is central to shops and bot trips. You can just park your car and not need to use it the whole stay. Breakfast here was very good. The view was great and the room very clean! The main office people were so pleasant and helpful! We walked to the shops nd... More

The Tugboat Inn is in the heart of town in all the best ways. It is within walking distance to boat trips and shops, but away from the traffic of the main street. Our room was over the water with a shared balcony and classic views of the outer harbor. The interior was clean and comfortable with and a new... More

We stayed for one night before the season kicked in. We had a room with 2 beds. One of the beds had it's own bedroom. The bedroom had it's own door to the private balcony. The bathroom was nice as well. The staff was friendly too. I would stay here again.

We spent a couple of pre-season nights at the Tugboat and found it a very pleasant choice in Boothbay Harbor. The location is convenient, just a few steps to the downtown shopping and restaurants. The views of the harbor are great. And the restaurant turned out to be much better that we'd expected. Best of all, the open about a... More

We stayed here for two nights in early May before things were up and running for the season. I can't comment on the normal noise level because there were so few people staying in the Inn and in town so it was very quiet for us. We had a room on the top level of the main building. It's what... More

The room we had was by the bay on the bottom floor. The room was great for the scenery; however, it did show wear and tear from many years of use. The room was clean; however, the WiFi did not work in the building as advertised. This was reported and the night clerk attempted to restart the router to no... More

We stayed here for one night and loved the pet friendly room we had in the red house located to the side of the Inn. It was very cozy and offered fantastic views of the outer harbor and surrounding islands! Staff was very friendly at the Inn and the restaurant, We will not hesitate to stay here again!
