The view is worth it!
What an AMAZING property! It is a little bit out of town, but the property is so quiet and peaceful, that you'll hardly even care. My room was very clean and comfortable, the staff were great, and the breakfast was top notch. But the best part of all was the VIEW! You won't regret booking a stay with Bluebird Ocean Point Inn. I wish I could have stayed longer.

The hotel is located in a nice quite beautiful area, and it is well taken care of. The restaurant on the premises is very expensive. There is a pool, and it is very pleasant. The rooms are clean and modern. However, they lack adequate light, and are very dark. Since several rooms share the same deck, we had to keep curtains down, which made the room even more dark during the day. Also, the internet service is poor. The personnel is very nice and friendly.

Disappointing summer trip
The location is amazing but there were some things that could’ve been better. First off, when we arrived at 4 pm to check in, we were told the room wasn’t ready yet and it didn’t end up being ready until about 5:30 which was very disappointing. During this time however, the bartender was amazing and so nice and hospitable. When we finally did get our room, there was some noticeable things. First, there was still blue tape on some areas on the wall, there were some holes in the ceiling that were hastily covered up and the outlets had no covers, and especially in the bathroom this can be very dangerous. On the other hand, the room was very clean so that was nice. The location and cleanliness definitely gave it a boost but they definitely could’ve done better.

Hello Olivia,Thanks so much for this feedback. We always want our guests to be left wanting for nothing when they join us and it’s clear that small details ultimately made it so we fell short of that aim. We apologize for any inconvenience as we do our final dust-off post our refurbishment. Your notes will be discussed internally and used to power an even better stay the next time we have the opportunity to welcome you for another coastal getaway. Wishing you the best until your return!

Our stay was unexpected and very pleasant. The view of the ocean from our room was spectacular. We were very happy to be able to stay here. The only reason I didn’t rate it at its highest rating was the bed was too hard for our taste. But the discomfort we had with it was washed away by the peacefulness of being right on the ocean.

Boothbay Maine is like many other spots where the demand requires you pay 3 or 4 star prices for a 2 star property. My room, in the lodge, smelled awful from mustiness or mildew. It was definitely 2 star worthy but the location was top notch & the restaurant breakfast was good. Any staff I encountered were very friendly.

Quintessential Maine
We really enjoyed our visit to ocean point. The chair by the water. The corn hole boards. The beds were a little to hard for me and the AC was noisy but luckily the nights were cool and we could use just the fan. The pool was warm and clean. Quintessential Maine experience.

The location is beautiful and quiet. You will need to drive for lunch. The facilities are are dated (which I actually prefer over characterless new). However, the original construction was not great so the buildings and furnishings are currently walking the line between rustic and run down. My reservation was last minute, so I needed to change rooms during my stay--which is normally facilitated by a hotel. However, I need to check out by 11and was not able to check into my new room until 3:30. Apparently zero effort was made to make my new room ready as soon as reasonably possible.
