The Tugboat Inn was in a great location just down the main street away from the shops so quiet to sleep well. The shower was awesome! It was great waking up and looking over at the beautiful harbor and all the boats.

We had the perfect weekend at the Tugboat Inn! We loved the rooftop deck! The bartenders were great and the drinks and food were delicious. The view of the harbor was amazing! The food was outstanding in all the restaurants on site. We tried them all! The lobster bisque was sooo good I had it a few times! After dinner we enjoyed live music in the tavern. We enjoyed our stay so much we are already planning our return visit!

The rooms were clean the air-conditioning work great. The location is perfect. Great to stay first time there. We will be back. Maybe a little bit more information when you get there would be nice. Also the parking space is a very narrow if you have a vehicle that’s larger than compact. We’ll definitely be going back.

This is an old property. Outdated small rooms. It was reasonably clean. If you want to be in the village, it is on the water. It's expensive due to location, not because it's a great place. There are better options that are still easy walking distance to the village.

We had a king room at the end of the pier with a great view. We ended up staying an extra night, so we had to move rooms. I preferred the less expensive one still on the pier. It had more room and a nice view. The location of the hotel was walking distance to the cute down town and harbor cruses. The staff was accommodating and friendly.

We arrived earlier than check in and were given the keys. The check in process was friendly and efficient. All staff are knowledgeable and offer suggestions to visitors. Parking was easy and nearby. The room was impeccably clean and more than adequate for the two of us. Bedding was very comfortable . The attached restaurant is okay, but the view from the rooftop cannot be beat on a nice day. We will most definitely return to the Tugboat.
