Great little area, felt safe and relaxed in the property.

Great place to stay 8m walk from everything. Do not use pay later option because they bill you min you hit accept. The window ac was running full tilt to keep the place cool. Upgrade to a mini split or heat pump more cost efficient. Over all wife and i loved it. Would not recommend if you cant climb stairs.

Even though there is no person to check you in any questions you can easily call host.

Thistle Inn was absolutely beautiful very clean spacious. The owner worked with me and gave me a bigger room and I screwed up and thought I had a king size bed which I thought I read on Expedia unbelievable gorgeous will be back for sure. Definitely won’t disappoint. Thank you again for a wonderful stay. The restaurant downstairs was delish.

We are a family with young kids who lost power for several days. We went to the library so we could find a room available for the night using Expedia, and it said that The Thistle Inn had vacancy. We booked it around 3 PM and headed to the Inn at around 6. The building is unattended, with just a note saying to check your email for a code to get in the room, and a phone number if you have issues. Expedia nor the Inn ever sent a code. We called the number that was taped to the door and it was disconnected. I sent an email, and tried to reach the Inn through the Expedia site. At that point we were stranded with a 5yo and a newborn. We were able to find a place with power and gave up on the room. A couple hours later, I heard back from someone from Thistle Inn who explained the issue, that he never got the information from Expedia, and that we should ask for a refund. The next call was to customer service who said they would issue the refund after confirming with The Thistle Inn. Our refund request was denied by Expedia because the owner didn't respond. Never will use Expedia again.

First time staying at the Thistle Inn. Nice place!!

Max from Thistle Inn was especially helpful in quelling my nervousness around getting in to the room, super easy in the end. Just know that he sends the email morning of with info, not 72 hours prior like it says on the hotels.com info page. Had a great stay after a gardens aglow excursion!

The room was freezing and to very long time to warm up. Sheets clean stiff and uncomfortable. The door to the bathroom the trim on the floors nails sticking up and could rip a bare foot. Over priced for this time of year and could use some sprucing up.

Great place to stay with easy check-in and out process

Room was ice cold upon arrival, door lock very sticky

The room was relatively clean, but the wood floor was a bit grimy.

Comfy bed, took me a while to figure out Keurig, heater noisy, overall Comfy bed overrides noisy heater

The property was excellent and the restaurant at the property was the best in the area.

Love that it is close to downtown area. Attached restaurant is very good. It is directly on the main street into town, but not too loud.

Probably the dirtiest hotel room in which I've stayed. Immediately upon entrance I started taking photos of how disheveled unclean and unacceptable I found the room.. fingerprints all over the surfaces at least a year's worth of dust on the air conditioner vents. Spiders in the corners. No deadbolt no chain a poor quality door knob and lock who knows how many people have that key? Didn't even have a toilet paper holder. 100% not ADA compliant or accessible by a wheelchair with extremely steep steps. No way for an elderly person to get their luggage upstairs and no one there to help you.

room is located in an old home attached to a restaurant. Lucky for us the restaurant is closed today otherwise there would have been people coming & going outside our room. Also appears the restaurant has patio seating right outside our room. Parking would have been located across the street if restaurant was open.

It was very noisy when the restaurant was open. There was no staff or security present. We were the only ones in the entire complex which was disconcerting . The bathroom was tiny with a tiny shower. The bed was fine and the floors were clean. Some of the outside siding was rotted. We would not recommend this establishment to anyone. Sorry

This is not an Inn. You are renting a room above a restaurant. There is no staff or housekeeping on site. We stayed for 3 nights and the room was never cleaned. There are very steep steps to the 3rd floor where our room was. We never got an email with instructions for check in and had to call. This was more like an airbnb experience definitely NOT an inn.

Walkable, great location. Easy self-check in and and very clean, comfortable stay. The room was spacious for my teen sons and myself to relax. Guests should know that there are potentially two flights of stairs to climb to the room that are steeper and shorter than some may be used to. Hold the railings when traversing. Pretty restaurant on the patio - but not affiliated with the Inn

The Inn was beautiful but no staff on site. No one checked on us even came to jump the garbage.

Super easy check in with lock codes No staff on premise Be aware of high floor rooms super steep stairs

This is not an Inn. There is noone to greet you and check you in. There was no communication in advance to inform you that there was noone to greet you and to look for a same-day e-mail communication about an entry code to get to the room. It is an old building (once a working inn)...so the steps to get to the rooms are narrow and have a small width. We had a 3 floor walk-up with luggage. No assistance (no elevator). Absolutely anyone with a walking disability or a breathing and/or heart condition should not elect to stay here. There is a restaurant, but it has nothing to do with the stay and the staff there cannot help you with any questions. The room was clean, air was fine, bed was fine. There's a refrigerator. The futon couch was cheap and uncomfortable.

Nice stay

The room was clean and decent. Plenty of space. Good coffee selection for the Nespresso machine. That’s where the good review ends. Extremely disappointing. Refrigerator did not get cold at all. No response to emails, no answer on the phone. The restaurant staff kept giving us dirty looks as we enjoyed the outdoor sitting area, apparently they didn’t want us there (directly outside of our room) unless we were dining at the restaurant. Every single employee interaction was rude and unwelcoming. Restaurant and Inn are separate businesses, according to a sign in our room. That doesn’t excuse the rudeness. Broken curtain rods, the iron was oddly unusable with a zip tie around the plug. Our first floor room was next to the restaurant entrance, so people passed directly in front of our two windows all evening within a foot of the glass. In fact, the restaurant bathroom was in the hall right next to our door. Lots of foot traffic. The only way to close the view from outside on the first floor, where people walked directly past, was to shut the curtains, which covered up the air conditioner entirely. There are no shades on the windows, only curtains. Two days after checking in we still had no responses to our emails or calls. The restaurant was closed the Wednesday we were there. All outdoor lighting in seating areas were completely turned off in the evening outside the entrance to the Inn. Dark and dreary.

The location and parking was nice. Communication could have been better. We did not know what the “main door” was and had to ask wait staff. The floor in our room felt like it had not been vacuumed and the mattress not the best. We were in the Appleton room and there were no instructions for emergency evacuation. Seemed a bit unsafe. We were thankful for the window unit and the keurig. The restaurant was so good and convenient. Thank you.

From the outside the property could be better maintained. The room itself and the adjoining bathroom were spotless and pretty much as one sees in the photographs on-line. The built-in air conditioner is massive and, in our view, was loud. The room is directly over the restaurant, and one should expect noise until the restaurant closes, staff clean-up and again at 4 AM when there were noisy deliveries outside. We are not used to urban living, so it was a sleepless night for us. The property is certainly convenient to all that Boothbay has to offer. Food was average at the restaurant and, in our view, too pricy for what we had to eat. Service was good.

Large rooms in charming colonial building. Non-affiliated restaurant on site, excellent food. Walk to harbor. Just to be aware, stairs to 2nd floor suites very are extremely steep, no inn staff on site.
