“loved it”

Brown's Wharf Inn

5 of 5 stars
Burr Ridge, il
Nov 18, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

We stayed at Brown’s this past Fall during our East Coast Fall trip. We chose Brown’s based on reviews from this site. We are so happy we did. First, I will not repeat the many glowing accolades on this site because we agree with them.
A few other observations, though;
First, our room, (third floor corner), seemed to have a sort of 50’s or 60’s feel to it – which we loved. Still, everything appeared new or in new condition and clean clean clean.
Next, although this property is, I guess, technically a motel, it felt more like an inn because of the personal and excellent service, the view,and the wonderful restaurant.
Yes, the bathroom is a bit small, but the vanity is located outside the bath area which allowed my wife to finish getting ready while I showered – a nice feature.
The only criticism I could offer is, perhaps, the lack of an elevator, in which case, book early and get a first or second floor room.

A wonderful stay we will always remember.
Would recommend Brown’s to anyone without reservation.

“Great motel”

My wife and I stayed here as part of our New England tour. You cannot fault this place. It is right on the waters edge with views across the bay. The rooms are spacious with everything you need complete with a balcony. We had a harborside room as opposed to a cove room and these have better views
There is an excellent retaurant right next door again right on the waters edge

“Lovely Boothbay”

Brown's Wharf Inn

Oct 22, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

The staff were extremely friendly and hands on. Ken Brown was often in attendence!
The restaurant was wonderful -especially with lovely lobster.
The views from our room were splendid -right across the busy harbour to the busy section of Boothbay.
If you are looking for "action" on your doorstep then perhaps this is not the place to go. However the 10 minute walk from the motel across the footbridge to town was a real pleasure.

We found this to be real old style motel, well kept and well run. However ,probably in common with many such lodgings, the soundproofing could be a problem if you had noisy neighbours. The bathroom was on the small side which did not bother us.

We would be quite happy to return to Brown's if in the area again.

We loved our stay at this quaint motel on the harbor. The balcony off our room on the first floor made it feel like we were on a boat! Lovely time, especially with a glass of wine at sunset overlooking the harbor. Try the restaurant for excellent seafood with reasonable prices.
