We really enjoyed the hotel and right downtown on the water. We dined in their restaurant that evening and it was excellent. We had the lobster tail out of the tail with 2 sides. Wonderful food and friendly staff.

We loved the location of The Tugboat Inn - our room was on the pier over the water. We found the room to be dated - furniture had nicks, the pictures on the walls were faded and dreary, the carpet had seen better days, and the toilet made awful noises and we discovered that the water supply was almost completely shut off and it wasn't filling up properly. Just seems like things could be updated to make the room cheerier and more up-to-date.
