Our stay was PERFECT!! From checkin with the manager( he’s amazing!!) this spur of the moment overnight in Boothbay Harbor was wonderful. Our room (#14) had spectacular views of the harbor. Breakfast was sooooooo good. Complementary cocktails was yummy: sitting outside in the comfy polywood chairs. Played cornhole, ate dinner at the Thistle Inn and a pre dinner cocktail at Neat. We have stayed in Boothbay Harbor numerous times but our first at the Topside. It is now our #1 spot!!

We were greeted warmly when we arrived and given a free drink. The room was well appointed with a great deck view of the harbor and was within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The complimentary breakfast was basically gourmet. The dining room was beautiful also with a great view of the harbor. Would recommend to anyone.

Our stay at Topside Inn exceeded expectations. Christy provided exceptional service, preparing thoughtful birthday surprises for my mother and arranging a corner room with wonderful views. She also ensured my mother’s dairy allergy was carefully accommodated at breakfast. Her professionalism, warmth, and genuine care made our stay truly memorable. We look forward to returning.

Would definitely visit again. Staff was very welcoming, has a great attention to detail. Breakfast was spectacular, a savory or sweet morning!! And the cookie of the day!! Always coffee and tea and plenty of snacks available!!! The location, at the top of the hill, made for great viewing of the area, not only from our room but the main building as well. It was only a short walk to enjoy the downtown shops and restaurants.
