HELP?? Trying to decide on Boothbay Harbor lodging. Greenleaf Inn, Blue Harbor Seaside Inn or Welch House?

I'm finishing plans for my much anticipated trip to Maine in Aug.
I have booked 3 nights in Bar Harbor @ Ullikana B&B and 2 nights in Camden @ Hartstone Inn. I'm trying to decide where to stay for 2 nights in Boothbay Harbor before one last night in Portland.
Do any of you Maine travelers have any experience with these inns? I must be struggling because they all get nice reviews.
Thanks for any help
Ellen

Do you mean the Blue Heron Seaside Inn? I would pick this one or Greenleaf as they are right near the heart of the harborside area. Welch House has a great view but is on top of a hill away from the activity.

Ellen-----yes, the Welch House is on top of the hill, but has fantastic views of the harbor, and is a bit "away" from all the action in BBHrbr, altho only a 5-min. walk to all the action! We stayed there Aug. 2002, and we loved the inn. I know there are new owners now, but by the looks of the website, it still looks like it's very nice. 5 min. to the action, but up on a peaceful hill if you want some solitude. The roads to the Welch house are quite steep tho, in case that's a consideration.

Hi--Just some added info you needed, so hope I'm not too late.
Eating: Daily Catch and the popular Fisherman's Wharf. Stay away from Ocean Point(very unprofessional and rude) and the Chinese place (China Sea?)
Take a charter cruise on one of the sailing ships; go to Wiscasset and eat at Sarah's; stop at Edgecomb Pottery; shop in the neat stores....
Have a great time--we'll be there next week!

Disagree about Sarah's in Wiscasset. We had one of the worst meals of our lives there. Red's Eats there is a hoot. Also the Lobstermen's Coop across Boothbay Harbor is fun - one of those eat on the dock kind of places. Have a great time. Can't help with the inns. We always stay at Browns Wharf, a motel with incredible views across the harbor.
