4-star hotels in Boothbay Harbor
It is written for couples, families and small groups who want a whole place near the water rather than a standard hotel room.
Staying in Boothbay Harbor
Boothbay Harbor is a harbour town on the Maine coast, and the stays in this shortlist sit within the town and its surrounding lanes and shore roads. Addresses range from Bay Street, West Street, Sherman Street and Union St A C in the town itself to Tamarack Trail, Crooked Pine Rd, Spyglass Hill Rd, Lakeview Rd, Atlantic St., Decker Reef Rd, Ocean Point Road and Beach Path Rd further out. Several places sit on or near the water, among them Spruce Ledge, Sweet Haven, East Boothbay Gardens, Atlantic Gardens I, Oceanfront Gem and The Badger Den, all of which list sea among their facilities.
The mix suits different trips. Couples and small groups get fireplaces, patios and terraces at places such as Atlantic Gardens I and Sasanoa Retreat at Sprucewold. Families get playgrounds, picnic areas, kitchens and washing machines at most addresses, and high chairs at Sprucewold Cabin. For a short break, the in-town addresses on Bay Street, West Street, Sherman Street and Union St A C keep you close to the harbour, while the more distant shore and trail roads trade that for quiet. Business travellers are less well served: fax appears only at East Boothbay Gardens, and no hotel in the list names a meeting room.
