when looking for a place to stay I searched the intenet for a place that had a view of the water yet was away from the hassle of town. This place looked good on the internet but upon arrival we were amazed on how wonderful this place was. The couple who runs the place were very helpful with everything! When we asked for a recomendation to eat he gave us a place down the road that had the best food of our whole trip at very reasonable prices. The view from the room bacony was awesome! a great spot to relax in the evening and then in the morning. I would highly recomend this place.

The room was clean, staff was polite, and the view from the balcony was lovely. But the hotel is in actuality a motel, two stories of rooms with no interior corridors, just exterior doors that open onto the parking lot. Walls are paper-thin, and you can chat with your neighbors on their balcony (and smell their cigar smoke). The bathroom windows, covered only with mini-blinds, face the front and if the light is on anyone can see inside. The bathroom is tiny, with only a stand-up stall and a pedestal sink with no room to balance your toiletries on the edge. The bed was hard and the room cramped. There is no breakfast area so the breakfast (one basic white flour muffin mix with different add-ins, over-baked frozen danish, and past-prime fruit) is laid out on the office countertop.
On the bright side, it's on a safe, quiet street and close to Boothbay Harbor. The property abuts a pretty lake and the view is definitely the best feature.

I have never done this before but there's always a first time. Stayed in a deluxe room which was very open and roomy and best of all clean. It was quiet and the view from the room was gorgeous. The grounds were beautiful which leads right to the water. Most of all it was the friendliness of the staff in the office that sealed the deal. Just as an example, we have a small dog and I was concerned about the possibility of her barking if we went out for awhile. She doesn't normally but it's a dog, therefore unpredictable. The woman in the office offered to keep her with her behind the desk if we went out. Who does that except for a staff that is out to please their guests. We highly recommend this place and would stay again anytime.

We stayed here October 5 (with complimentary upgrade). It was everything we needed: clean room, good size, comfy beds, helpful staff, tasty breakfast and quiet out-of-town location. It happened to be a very cold night and thankfully the in room heating worked a treat. To top it all the view from our room was awesome. In the morning, we took our breakfast coffees down to the lake shore to admire the view. Everything you could want from a roadside motel.

In case it is relevant to anyone else: we were caught out by the closing times of the restaurants in the town. As we were looking for food after 9pm there was nothing available - except the ubiquitous pizza joint. Out of season, eat early or miss out!
