I would say this property is Unique!!! There is no Front Desk;; check in is a code for the main door and coded key lock box with a key to your room. Checkout is the same. Everything is done via email and phone. What makes this place Great is the Restaurant attached to the Inn. Food is Amazing and the service is Awesome as well!!! The are owned by separate entities. There are only 6 rooms which makes it nice as well and located walking distance to downtown Boothbay Harbor. The only downfall is the narrow stairs going up to the second and third floors, I have bad knees so the stairs were a little rough but still didn't take away from a Great Stay!!! Next time I will try to get the room on the first floor lol. I would definitely stay there again!!

Overall, clean. Pictures on Expedia don’t perfectly reflect the property. Cover picture shows a full refrigerator and kitchen with huge counter & barstool chairs. Did not see anything like that. The room (which I thought was a 2nd floor room because of the ceiling shape in pics) was actually a 3rd floor (which was not very easy for us older folk to climb) & stairs were very narrow. No elevator. No breakfast, lunch amenities. Keurig in room was great (if you’re a fan of Keurig) I guess this was an average like a AirB&B type situation. If you’re looking for that, it is fine. Anything more is not there. Although it looks like they’re trying to update each room individually. Ours was newly painted & clean. Small refrigerator, no freezer. It’s out of the busy/touristy sections & outstanding restaurant below the rooms (not associated with the rentals.) Open 4pm-9pm. The food, staff, ambiance was phenomenal. All n all, the experience was ok, just lacking any personal touch/service.moo

Check in instructions supposed to come 72 hours. Got day of after calling. Bed WAY TOO FIRM! Shower curtain pink and black with mold and mildew-smelled to high heaven when wet. The restaurant is too loud. Heard people singing Happy Birthday and dishes clanging in our room. Thankfully done around 10. Can also smell cooked food in the room. Odd setup.

The room was nice but you have to carry everything up a flight of steep stairs to reach the room. Shower is very small.

This place is unique in that u do not have a front desk to check in. The key is in a lock box and then u r kinda on ur own. The room was great! Large, clean, comfortable bed. Small fridge, Keriig coffeemaker, microwave The only complaint I would have is that there are very few electrical outlets. It’s a historical building so that’s kinda expected. We had to be creative to plug in the CPap machine and charge our electronics. No big deal though.

Love Boothbay Harbor and all it has to offer. Great location and unique place. The bed was TERRIBLE! I don't expect to get the mattress I have at home but this one was like sleeping on a piece of plywood. For what it is all you need is a good mattress!

The room needed a chair and a small table to eat at and watch TV. I also thought the A/C was very loud and leaked all night. I was also surprised there was no incentive to eat at the Inn downstairs-discount or coupon.

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.

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.

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.
