We have stayed at the property 5 summers in a row. Be sure to book in advance and ask for a room with a view. The hotel is right on the water and it is very relaxing to just sit on your deck and enjoy the harbor views. You are steps away from the pedestrian bridge across the harbor into... More

Again, our stay at the Rocktide was a pleasant Maine experience. Everything, from the ladies at the front desk to the greeters and waitstaff in the excellent dining room, to the cleanliness of the rooms was first rate. The buffet breakfast (included in the room rate) was superb. We have stayed at the Rocktide twice a year for over 20... More

This hotel is one of two that have a view of the sunset on Booth Bay. The hotel bar has an open deck with on the harbor, and a dining room with the view as well. You can watch all the water action while having dinner/apps or just a quiet drink. You also get a nice buffet breakfast with the... More

We last stayed here in 1987 and it had to have been at least 30 years old at that time. This is not a cookie cutter motel , it is a unique resort property with spectacular views (if you want to pay for those rooms) and a marvelous hot buffet breakfast included in the room price. The Blueberry Muffins are... More

Great location right next to the footbridge, so you can walk everywhere in this lovely town. Reception was warm and friendly with lots of ideas about things to do and information about the area. You can sit out on the deck and have a cocktail and watch the sunset in the evening. Breakfast was included in our Fall Special and... More

The Rocktide had great character and charm. The rooms are clean, cheerful, updated and the beds are extremely comfortable. The price was outstanding for what it included - great accommodations and a free hot breakfast! The location couldn't be better...a short walk over the bridge to the shops and art galleries...and right next door to the lobster shack. Would recommend... More

The staff was friendly and made sure we did not get a musty smelling room(one that we checked out was musty). The room we did get was very dingy and outdated. The bedspreads and towels were faded, worn, and stained. We did'nt mind the outdated look, but were disgusted and uncomfortable with how dirty the room was. The carpet was... More

We got into town a day early and had no hotel reservations. Being the heart of the season, there weren't many rooms to be had. The Rocktide was recommended by the Boothbay Harbor Chamber of Commerce (Highly recommend the Chamber, the staff was awesome!!). I didn't know was to expect with this older hotel, but was pleasantly surprised. We actually... More

Love the Rocktide – have been coming here for 27 years and still thoroughly enjoy our stays. We always get one of the “better” rooms facing front and with its own deck; it’s worth the extra money. Granted the decor is outdated, but we don’t care as the location and views far outweigh the retro décor. We always find the... More

This hotel is typical of the area; old style New England motel/hotel. We loved it. We were fortunate to have one of the handicap room (although we didn't need it): two bathrooms: one with the sink exposed and the toilet and tub behind a door; the other a large room with sink, toilet and walk-in shower. Flat-screen TV, sliding door... More
