Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Spinneys was not at all what we expected. It was a very old building, really quite run down. The room was small and obliviously, the closet had been converted to a shower, so no place to hang up clothing and no one of extra proportions would fit in the shower. The room was not "dirty" per se, just not very clean and lots of stairs! I was recovering from a serious knee injury so the stairs were a deal breaker. We had paid for two nights and only stayed one. We asked for a refund, but were ignored even after having stated that the stairs were a real problem. Too bad it was so far into the boondocks, we wouldn't have even stayed one night after hiking up all the stairs and seeing the room. The bed was comfortable and we had a good night's sleep. The sheets appeared to be clean a freshly changed.

Loved staying at Spinneys, got to partake in the cedar sauna and staff was accommodating to an early check in. Next morning we were able to wake up and watch seals play in the water right out front, along with a beautiful sunrise. Will be back!

The location was perfect. Loved the fact that we could cook there. It was large and roomy. Beds comfortable. However the kitchen area was filthy. Like it had not been cleaned. I would go back again though. It was the end of the season and probably not much help left.

This was a great spot right on the beach. It’s a home built in the 1800’s. The restaraunt next door is delicious. There is a small refrigerator in the room but no blow dryer. The only downside is that It is very out of the way with no stores near by and no place to get breakfast. We came on a Saturday and on Sunday morning there was no coffee available in the hallway. Not sure if they just forgot to refill the coffee station or if you’re just on your own. Otherwise we just loved the spot.

The location doesn’t get any better, right on the beach! Chris and his staff made us feel right at home. The rooms have all been updated with bathrooms, AC, and coffee outside in the hall. Great full service restaurant with an extensive food and bar menu. Morning walks on the beach and sunsets were spectacular. Lots of character in a special little corner of Maine!
