Fisherman's Wharf Inn

Love this hotel. Some aspects and rooms are dated but clean. Cannot beat the location. Rooms with beautiful views of the water. Walkable to all of downtown. Free coffee in the mornings. Love the semi private balconies. Free parking and wifi. Could use new pillows but otherwise great stay.

The rooms are old and small but it was clean and the bed was comfortable. Nothing modern about this hotel but has the charm you would expect in a working harbor. Loved our private balcony overlooking the boats and harbor and the location in the heart of town was perfect. The hotel bar was great but it closed very early.

Location! The hotel is in the heart of booth bay. Easy access to everything. Our room was large, clean, the bed comfortable. The view overlooking the bay with a private balcony. Dinner and drinks are offered. Dinner was good. Parking convenient. The front staff was very friendly and helpful. We would totally stay again.

This was probably my worst stay here. My husband and I have been coming for about 20 years for our anniversary. I made the reservations months in advance. You pick the type of room you want. I always pick a room overlooking the harbor and whale park. We were given the room closest to the road and could barely see anything. Room was small compared to others in the same class, you couldn't even put a chair at the table without moving things. Services diminish every year and the prices go up. I'm very sad to say this may have been our last stay here. There are too many other places that would be happy with repeat business. 2 plastic chairs on the patio, 1 was broken. No options for breakfast. You can go the front desk to get your own towels. Key stuck in the lock - you had to SLAM the door to be able to lock from the inside. Parking is a joke. We often had to park across the street and that was often a question of if we could find a place. All in all, while I used to rate this 5 stars, this year it seemed to go down substantially.

have to give this a "1" as much as I would like not to. If you're looking for a perfect location right in the middle of everything, then it's perfect BUT it's old and very dated. The rooms smell like mildew. There have been almost no updates. They did put some light wood paneling in the bathroom but it's tiny and there is very little water pressure. Also, when I turned the water to hot, the whole handle fell off. We stayed on third floor in Harbor view rooms and the little deck is nice with a view but again, the room needs so much updating. I am a bit embarrassed for other people who are visiting for the first time and who have spent $800 for two nights like we did, to walk in and find the rooms to be so depressing and musty. If you don't mind spending that much for location and view, then this hotel is for you as long as you understand that the room is old, dank and depressing

My recent stay at the Fisherman’s Wharf Inn was a masterclass in disappointment, a far cry from the pleasant experiences I had enjoyed in the past. While the hotel boasts a prime location in the heart of Boothbay Harbor, the allure of its town center cannot mask the myriad of flaws that marred my visit. Upon arrival, I was greeted by an unfriendly front desk clerk, a stark contrast to the warm welcomes I had previously experienced. I had booked a “King Corner Footbridge Suite,” which was advertised as having the “best views” and a wrap-around deck. However, my excitement quickly turned to dismay as I discovered that the promised vistas were obstructed by a fleet of sightseeing tour boats docked mere feet from my room. These vessels not only blocked any semblance of a view but also loomed so close that I felt I could reach out and touch them. The noise from the boats was incessant, and the fumes from their engines permeated the air, rendering the deck unusable for relaxation. To compound my frustration, the room itself was plagued by an unpleasant odor. The hotel attempted to mask this by cranking the air conditioning to high, but the smell lingered stubbornly, making the environment uncomfortable. I found myself keeping the curtains drawn most of the time, a necessity given the proximity of the boats. The discomfort was palpable; sitting on the deck felt like being on display rather than enjoying a serene getaway. Moreover, despite having booked a second-floor room, I was inexplicably assigned to the first floor, which felt like a bait-and-switch given the premium price I paid. For what I received, the room should have been offered at a discount, complete with a warning about its numerous defects (as noted with some other rooms). The overall condition of the hotel was outdated, and it was evident that maintenance had taken a backseat. In summary, my experience at the Fisherman’s Wharf Inn was marked by a series of unfortunate events that overshadowed its advantageous location. What should have been a charming retreat turned into a regrettable ordeal, leaving me to wonder if this establishment has lost its way. The hotel should be embarrassed to offer this room for rent.

We visited Boothbay last week for 5 days and stayed at The Fisherman’s Wharf! The room was very clean and comfortable! The staff was wonderful, especially Ray the parking attendant! The only complaint I have was all the restaurants close at 9:00, not only on property but the whole town! The town is very nice and beautiful! I would definitely recommend Fisherman’s Wharf! We also chartered a private boat HAY VAL which was a great experience! You can make your own itinerary! Very reasonable prices!

Room is small and outdated and has as a weird sweet smell. Pictures are deceiving. Would request another room but apparently there isn’t any available. Lots of other choices that include breakfast in area. Just picked wrong one. Definitely overpriced.

The staff are sooo friendly and accommodating, views are to die for, it is quiet and comfy. A great place to just get away (i go after high season) I work from home, so i love to take a little getaway now & then, and Boothbay Harbor & the Fishermans Wharf Inn fits the bill perfectly!! THANK YOU!! Ya’ll never disappoint!!
