The Snug: Cozy Ground-Floor Queen at Admiral's Quarters, Boothbay Harbor

Admirals Quarters Inn Room 16, Boothbay Harbor: ground-floor queen, the inn's best value

Room 16 is a compact, newly updated queen room on the ground floor, and the inn's most affordable room. It suits a couple or a solo traveler who will spend the day on the water and in town.

It has a comfortable queen bed and a private bath, with no stairs. The room itself has no direct water view; the solarium, main balcony and lawn chairs a few steps away do.

Admirals Quarters Inn is a historic sea captain's home at 71 Commercial St, on the water in downtown Boothbay Harbor. It runs like a small Boothbay Harbor hotel, with a front desk, free parking, a shared guest kitchen and a harbor-view solarium, but it still feels like a home.
