The Thistle Inn  |  Hotel in Boothbay Harbor

We had to get an email check in instructions with code numbers. The front door was a keypad and we knew the code to get in, but then there was a lockbox in front of our room, and although we had the code to it, we didn't know how to operate the lock box(another guest showed us how to pull the sliding door down to access the keypad. we tried calling the numbers provided because of "no front door check", but one number was to the restaurant below the inn and they couldn't help, I had to leave a voice mail to the manager with my problem and he emailed me instead of calling me back after I got help from another guest.

First floor room was noisy as it was near the restaurant

Great location! We stayed in Victory Chimes on the first floor. The room had a bleach and musty smell when we arrived, but aired out quickly. Parking is across the street, we weren't sure how the tow trucks would know we were guest so we put a note on our dash (a resident drove by and yelled we'd be towed, only reason we were concerned). Loved Boothbay Harbor and hope to be back again and stay at the Thistle Inn.

Yes...The room was clean. 1. The floor felt sticky to walk on. 2. There was not any table or place to set other than to hard kitchen chairs with a TV tray stand. 3. It got chilly the 1st night there is no heat to keep you comfortable. 4. NO Tisuses 5. No place to put your luggage 6. No Alarm clock 7. No one to talk to on the property about the area. My wife and I were inn keepers in Freeport Maine for 10 years. I would say that the price of close to $450.00 to stay 2 night for what you get is really not worth it. In my humble opinion this room was worth $75.00 to $100.00 per night.

The room was attractive, spacious, and easy to get into with the room codes. It was also close enough to downtown to walk to many places. The room heater would be my only criticism. It would come on to the desired temperature and shut off once it was reached. The room would then get very cold before it clicked back on and so it was up and down for the entire stay. At times it was distracting.

This trip would have been perfect with the following: 1. lighting at the parking across the street, especially for late arrivals 2. Bottled water 3. Napkins or paper towels 4. Plasticware 5. Cookware for microwave - I left a dish for heating there for the next guest 6. Better bandwidth- the TV did not really work when other guest were there or the restaurant was in operation. No one likes to watch TV the is constantly spinning 7. A WiFi connection Other than these things it was nice, comfortable and quaint.

Beautiful Boothbay Harbor!

Historic building connected to 5 star restaurant and charming tavern. Fantastic location to all attractions in the village of Boothbay harbor.

Quaint room with a large bathroom. Well kept. Steep stairs to our room. Very nice!

Loved the quaintness of the rooms, though the stairs to the rooms were steep and treads were short. The food at the restaurant was really good.
