Don't go here. If you're looking for charm, ambience, and a full-service sit-down breakfast, you won't find it. If you just want a place to sleep, you can find better places with better or comparable rates.

1) The "continental" breakfast consisted of coffee, bagels, some fruit, croissants, poorly presented buffet-style in a narrow hallway with everyone getting in each other's way.

2) Be sure to specify whether you want a room in the original portion of the house, or one of the more motel-like rooms along the outside decks. The outside rooms overlook the estuary entrance that leads to harbor with a nice view, but lacks the charm of what one might look for in a B&B.

3) High price/low service.

Remember visiting Grandma's house? The peeling wallpaper, creeky stairs, cleaning fluids left in the hallway from a job half finished? Add some antiques, a comfortable bed and George, the Inn keeper.
The location of this hotel is ideal. It is located near the waterfront and shops. Parking is available behind the Inn....and it goes down hill from here.
My biggest complaint was breakfast. It was horrible. A few old bagels, english muffins, a coffee cake, boxed cereal and bruised bananas. Breakfast is held on the side porch. There is no counter space or table to eat on.
Next complaint, was being forced to check out before 10am on a Saturday. The Inn keeper was totally inflexible regarding checkout time and gave priority to the cleaning staff"getting out early to be with their families." He actually asked us to leave immediately after breakfast , well before 10am.
The view, although waterfront ,is obscured. We paid $250/night,which seemed steep for what the Inn offered.

My husband and I just returned from a two day stay at this Inn. The room was pleasant and the bed was very comfortable. Satalitte TV, a nice shower and big fluffy towels were also appreciated. We had a terrific view of the Harbor and enjoyed sitting out on the deck, both in the morning and in the evening. We loved that the Inn was located in the center of town. We especially liked our early morning walks through this quaint village. George recommended beautiful sights in the area that should not be missed. Also, his recommendations for eating places was right on. George is an interesting man and we enjoyed listening to his stories. Thank you very much George, we enjoyed our stay at your Inn.

We made a big mistake. We drove up to Boothbay Harbor without any reservations, and by the time we got there, the only vacancy we could find was at the Harbour Towne Inn. The room was shoddily maintained and the bed was mediocre. The bathroom came straight out of a two-star motel. And breakfast was a total joke. It was worse than the complimentary breakfast you'd get at a Holiday Inn. I'd say that the owner is engaging in false advertising by calling this a bed-and-breakfast. Best B&B on the waterfront? Ha!
