No bottled water in the room No bathrobes Only 1 small trash can in the bathroom Ask if your room must be accessed by 2 or 3 flights of stairs. Luggage transfer somewhat difficult. Very limited electrical outlets for charging multiple devices. Limited, tight parking spaces. Don't be late for the 8:30 AM (sharp) breakfast or it may be cold or gone.

We needed a getaway!

How fortunate for us that it was the last night Topside was hosting guests for the season, since the municipality shuts the public water supply off in October. Yikes! The accommodations are charming and every staff member we encountered treated us wonderfully. I wish I could remember the name of the lovely woman who welcomed us when we arrived. Greg served us local beers at the bar, and Mark and Buzz (and family - Mom and Dad?), invited all guests to enjoy the last night of the season with hors d'oeuvres and cocktails. Fall in Boothbay is soothing. We so hope to make this an annual trip to Topside for the last weekend of the season. Even in fall, the botanical gardens are amazing!

The room was very large and spacious and had a beautiful water view. The inn is on a large pond where you can swim or go out on a canoe or paddle boat (for free!). They even supply life jackets. They have a fire pit and charcoal grills with picnic tables on the beach which you can use at any time. I wouldn't walk to the down town, but it's a quick 5 minute drive. The inn offers coffee/tea all day, and has a small breakfast offering that we did not partake in. There is a small pool that our toddler loved as well! We can't wait to go back next summer.

We did not have a water view in our Standard King room, but enjoyed sitting out on the little patio that our room had and "people watching" in the evening. The view from our patio was the walkway which led to the restaurant. The bathroom in our room was tiny and only had just enough room for a toilet and shower, and our bathroom door didn't shut, but oh well! Very friendly staff! We would definitely stay here again -- hopefully next time we will have enough time to use their kayaks and paddle boards!

Rooms are fine but basically an old motel with a new coat of paint and some new furniture. Linens are nice. No iron in the room and impossible to get one from staff because no one answers the phone at the front desk or housekeeping. Front desk not staffed except 8:00 am until 10:00 pm.

Our room was spacious, spotlessly clean, with a lovely bathroom including a jetted tub. The balcony overlooking the Harbor was a great spot to sit and read or have a drink. The Inn is within walking distance of everything you would want to do in Boothbay--lots of restaurants, shops, boating tours, etc. We would definitely return to the Blue Heron Seaside Inn in the future.

Meh. It's was just ok in my opinion…read more My wife kind of wanted it to be more than it was, but it was pretty lackluster if you ask me. I do not care to know what she spent for our nights accommodation. There is nothing that bad about the place, it's just a bit old. I just prefer newer hotels. The room was freaking huge! Not sure why it would be so big. The amenities were fine, just older. I was also in a funky ass mood while we were here. Even dinner was a shit show. Probably fucked that up due to my mood, but she is cool with my weird ass after all these years. It was terribly windy, like cut through you windy, and about 45 degrees, C wants to explore so guess what we did? LOL. I had such a nice windy stroll around the grounds. There are lots of places to explore around the place though. Don't let my cynicism ruin it for you. They have an activity center with video games, board games, and some TV's with kids videos and stuff like that. They have a fire pit that you can use and I think they do a dinner or something out there. They have a pool that is pretty nice. Sunrises are pretty rad here. I will admit that. Like really rad! I guess it wasn't that bad. It's just A-Ok! '26 - 38

Breakfast is absolutely amazing. The bar in the evening was very good as well as the food for a snack. Would love to go back to this place very romantic and definitely a destination for a special occasion/wedding. They have a convenient shuttle bus that comes by about every hour. There's no way that you can reasonably walk or ride a bike down to the town center unless you're into steep hills. Usually, there's no issue with parking downtown. There was a parade in the town center, and we were able to find parking along the street fairly easily. There's also some parking lot that are on the honor system for about $10.

Nostalgic...what a cute "retro" motel! Simply charming!…read more Built, owned and operated by the Lewis family. When the family opened the motel in 1955 it was the region's first! Tim Lewis (the current owner) is the sweetest man. He is wonderful, down to earth, kind, honest, welcoming, helpful and very informative. From the time you show up he makes you feel like you've known each other forever and treats you like you're an old friend visiting. He sets the tone for you to have the most wonderful and comfortable stay you can possibly have. We simply loved the retro décor with the knotty pine paneling and handmade wooden furniture from the 50's. He has updated with TV's, cable, and Wi-Fi, but aside from that most décor and the bathrooms remain the same...it's pretty cool actually. I really liked having a screen door on our room too...how cool is that? Moreover, the motel is clean and he keeps the grounds immaculate. Since this is an older motel, you may notice some of "accessories" missing from a more modern motel. The rooms are smaller, so they can't accommodate some of those "things". If there is something you need or desire...just ask. I think you'd be surprised at what he has on hand. The motel is located in the perfect area/location. You are a short walk from the downtown area, yet far enough away not to have a lot of noise. You can absolutely walk everywhere once you are there. The motel is very reasonably priced for the area and does not include breakfast. Tim can make some great suggestions, but please don't worry...restaurants are literally a 5 minute walk away or less. Speaking of suggestions...if you need ideas or information on anything in the area or Maine in general ask Tim...he is simply a wealth of information and ideas. We actually altered our personal itinerary to add a few things after chatting with him. He travels a lot, so he has information on a lot more too, but that's another story. If you are looking for luxury accommodations, a more modernized place with all the bells & whistles, etc....this isn't it. If you are looking for something different, out of the norm, or maybe a trip down memory lane and/or just want an overall great stay with a good night's rest in a comfortable room...this is your place! I would recommend staying here 110%! End Note: When we left I/we felt sad and we only stayed a few days. Tim was so kind that it was like leaving a dear friend or family behind. I hope we get a chance to visit again one day, but in the meantime all I can do is recommend it to you... {17 - pictures & video clip posted}
