“At Whale’s Tale on Wednesday music and good vibes rule!! I wandered through Booth Bay in search of an authentic Maine musical and gastronomic adventure and so I stumbled on the news in an online site , called, and found out that open mic Wednesday with Dave Gagne was about to begin. A great intimate group of pretty darn good musicians were a treat to all. Dave is a talented and generous host who makes all us singer/songwriters feel welcome. and appreciated . And with Jersey Man behind the bar and great food ( I had haddock tacos) Whale’s Tale checks every box!!!“
“Just had the best lasagna we've ever eaten. Even better than what I can make. And a caprese salad which we shared. Place was packed (New Years Eve) with endless people streaming in but the young girl who seemed to be filling all the jobs was friendly and quick to get us a table. I highly recommend this establishment. Family friendly.“
“Booked 2 rooms last minute and so glad I did! This is a waterfront older hotel. Our rooms were spacious, outfitted with refrifg. microwave and small keurig. Both rooms (king and double) were immaculate! The covered waterfront deck was a comfortable nice size and we enjoyed our breakfast there. The motel dining area has lots of table seating with a Waterview for the included breakfast. Coffee was hot and plentiful. I think coffee/tea is available all day. The hotel is an L shape. Our rooms were the last 2 rooms (222 and 223) at the end of the L closest to the road..so our Waterview was an angle view. I think the owners need to plant a evergreen by the road to give some road screening for 223 room. Rooms 101 to 109 overlook the marina. Rooms on 2nd level look over marina. Rooms 112 to 119 and floors sbove overlook the harbor rather then marina.the rooms. And ours 222 and 223 was an angle harbor view. If handicap and need elevator it is in the lighthouse (see photo) Motel location is about a 7 minute ride to Boothbay Main St.. About a 3 min ride to local grocery store and circle k convenience store. I think it is a great location on the harbor away from the crowds yet very close. I like no restaurant as place is quiet in the evening. If you want to walk the footbridge into town the Boothbay Inn is a better location but I much prefer Brown's Wharf. I will be back to stay again and Kudos to the owners for keeping this waterfront motel comfortable, clean and in great condition.Rooms: Large rooms, comfortable seating. Easy rolling slider to Waterview covered deck. Deck furniture clean and comfortable.Nearby activities: Easy 7 min ride to fishermans wharf in Boothbay harborSafety: Felt safe. Parking well lit.Walkability: A bit of a walk to footbridgeFood & drinks: Breakfast plentiful with indoor dining tables looking over water. Rooms have micro, refrig, and small kuerig with Dunkin Donuts pods.Noteworthy details: Rooms spotless. Towels bedding clean. Comfortable. Covered deck great if raining. Beautiful harbor views. Waterfront motel.“
