This place was excellent! We decided to spend an extra night in Boothbay on a whim and stumbled upon Topside. We loved it so much that we'll absolutely be back. Breakfast the next morning was such a treat. It felt luxurious without being pretentious—beautifully done, warm, and incredibly welcoming. It was the perfect way to end our stay, and we can't wait to return.

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.
