Rooms are beautifully update and chic. Clean and comfortable. The front desk is kind and helpful and the free breakfast is a great way to get your day started without going to a crowded restaurant. The location is nice in terms of 43 minutes from a lighthouse and a short 2 minute drive to the harbor. There is a gas station and strip mall across the street as well as an ice cream stand practically on the property. A great and affordable place to stay.

We recently stayed at the Flagship Inn during a visit to Bay Harbor, and overall, it was a solid and budget-friendly choice with a few standout features that made the stay enjoyable. Location is definitely the highlight – the hotel is about a mile from downtown Bay Harbor, which made it easy to walk or drive to the heart of the action. Bay Harbor itself is a charming little tourist destination filled with restaurants, local shops, and opportunities for whale and puffin-watching excursions. The famous footbridge that spans the bay is a must-see and adds to the small-town charm of the area. What really attracted me to the Flagship Inn was the price point. Compared to some of the higher-end hotels nearby, this property offered a much more affordable stay without sacrificing convenience or friendliness. The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, which made a great first impression. They also provide a complimentary breakfast with hot food each morning**, which was a nice perk and a good way to start the day. The hotel itself looks like it's had some recent remodeling, which helps freshen things up, though some aspects still feel a bit dated. The one downside of our stay was the bed comfort—after long days of exploring, it would’ve been nice to have a more supportive mattress. It wasn’t terrible, just not quite as restful as we hoped. Overall, if you're looking for a clean, friendly, and affordable place to stay near downtown Bay Harbor, the Flagship Inn is a great option. Just don’t expect luxury-level beds—but the location, value, and service more than make up for it.

Budget friendly they had a very good breakfast included in the price. There was a variety to choose from including waffles, scrambled eggs, bagels, cereal,fresh coffee, and juice. They made a very pricey tourist town affordable and very enjoyable. Our room was clean and comfortable. Located just minutes to down town Booth Bay Harbor and several areas amenities. Pet friendly! We will be staying here again.

A little older motel with nice updates and Very clean. Owner/ manager helped me get into a room that better suited my disability pretty quickly when I found the room I booked was not adequate. Nice people. I will be staying here again.

While visiting the Boothbay Region we stayed at the Flagship in. The room was good for the price, having the mini frig and microwave are ALWAYS the best for me. I always fear being cold but the heat was great and the room warm and cozy. The water temperature for the shower was traffic. We will return.
