Harbor House Inn — Hotel in Boothbay Harbor

What a let down this place was. My first ever bad experience in a B & B. In an industry which is known for warm, friendly innkeepers, and delicious breakfasts ... We got neither. On our arrival the inn looked closed up tighter than a drum. Old dead Christmas decorations were out in the planters, and when we entered and rang the bell we got no answer. We heard music and footsteps upstairs and finally tentatively wandered up to find a painter who tried to call the innkeeper and he finally showed us to what he thought was our room. The innkeeper had not left us a note or any directions. She finally showed up 15 minutes later. When we asked about breakfast timing, she said that it was $25 for breakfast. I have never, ever heard of a B & B that does not include breakfast. She has a very over priced B ... With no B in the morning. She just walked off when we brought up that we thought it was misrepresented. The room was nicely decorated, but the fridge was not plugged in, no ice, there was only one coffee pod, the creamer was spoiled, the closet door banged in the drafty breeze, there was no shampoo or conditioner in the bathroom (glad I had brought my own) and we never saw or heard from the innkeeper again during our stay. So disappointing. Save your money and...

Buyer Beware: Harbor House Inn charges an additional $75 fee if you do not show up, despite paying in full and the rooms being nontransferable. The additional fee is not listed anywhere in the booking agreement. ||||We paid for two nights at Harbor House Inn. We were told they were nontransferable and nonrefundable. We were not able to make our trip to Maine, and since the rooms were both nontransferable and nonrefundable, I didn't complain, but I also didn't call to cancel because their policy is no refund (Due to an unexpected cancellation of our return flight, the other three B&Bs refunded our trip without question.) On top of keeping my full payment, they also charged me $75 without my permission for not officially cancelling because "it did not give them the opportunity to rebook". To be clear, I paid in full for the two nights I was going to be there and they still charged me an additional $75 even though I couldn't give the rooms to friends in the area to use when I couldn't make it. The additional $75 fee is not written anywhere in their policy emailed to me at time of booking. I have spoken to the owner to try and rectify the situation...
