Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Great location on the other side of the harbour from the main town - but easy stroll via the footbridge into Boothbay Harbour. King rooms had amazing harbour views and were comfortable. The bed was a little bit too soft for my preference - but great if you like sleeping on a cloud. The restaurant was superb. Fine dining without the very fine price - starters $20 and entrees $36 - 45 plus tax & tip. The view from the restaurant for dinner was exceptional - with a perfect sunset vantage point. Oceanside owns the lower priced property next door - which also offers excellent views of the harbour. Even if you don't stay here - you should have dinner just for the views!”
“The Boothbay Harbor Oceanside Inn was a wonderful place to stay. We had a great room overlooking the harbor with front and side balconies with seating directly over the water. The room was very very clean, the bed was super comfortable and bedding was very nice as well. The shower has a fixed head as well as a wand head and both are very strong. The towels are huge and super soft and you even get robes to use. There is a fridge and keurig coffee maker but no microwave.”
“Boothbay Harbor Oceanside Inn delivers a comfortable, well-appointed room with blackout shades with curtains. We visited at the very opening of the 1901 Coastal Prime restaurant and received excellent service of a delightful meal. BHOI is well situated for an interesting walk over the footbridge directly into downtown BH.”
“The room was beautiful with a perfect view overlooking the harbor (definitely worth the cost). Housekeeping is not standard but available upon request. They have coffee pods in the room or coffee available in the hotel lobby. Very close to the footbridge to walk to the town. This will be a go to for returning trips.”
