Spruce Point Inn Resort And Spa
"Historic oceanfront resort with pools, spa, and bay views from $271—book a refurbished room and manage expectations on consistency."
About The Hotel
From $271/night—a large 4.3 oceanfront resort on its own grounds with old New England charm, sunset bay views, pools, a spa, and family activities. The location is genuinely beautiful (4.9 location score) and the property has character, but condition and service are inconsistent. Many guests praise the charm and grounds; others cite dated rooms, maintenance lapses, and slow restaurant service. Book a refurbished room, confirm the building/unit, and treat it as a property where amenities matter more than room finesse. Dog-friendly and family-suited.
What Guests Are Saying
“We stayed for 3 nights at the SPI for a family vacation. What a wonderful and special place. The inn is full of old New England charm and fun activities. The grounds are beautiful and feels like a slice of heaven. Only note is that the service at the restaurants can be quite slow.” — Deane, 5 stars
“Our experience was wonderful for our first trip to Maine and Spruce point Inn Was definitely a great find! The location was beautiful. The property was nostalgic. We enjoyed the food, the staff and the amenities. we definitely recommend the beautiful view of the bay and the amazing sunsets. We will absolutely book again . Frances and Al Todd” — Frances T., 5 stars
“Rented Starboard B which was perfect for 4 adults and 2-3 kids. Overlooks the water, and close to the pool (too cold to use, but still made for a nice view). Enjoyed the spa and hiking trails and proximity to town and Lobsterman’s Wharf. Food onsite was not bad, bartender was especially good (nice that the hotel bar closes at 10 vs. town bars which closed at 9). Only cons were inflexibility on late check-out and in-unit kitchen was very dated and just lacking overall. That said, we would definitely recommend and will likely be booking a stay for next year!” — Ricky, 5 stars

"My now husband and I spent our “mini-moon” at SPI and loved everything about this place! All rooms are steps away from the ocean and the grounds are beautifully kept. The Oceanside pool and hot tub were so relaxing we didn’t want to leave for dinner! Sunset was beautiful! The boat cruise was amazing. All the staff were kind and accommodating! We didn’t want to leave!"

The rooms might be a little outdated but I didn’t notice it that much. The views are amazing and I love just taking my kids out for a stroll with all the beautiful scenery. A lot of people mention how expensive it is, it is a little expensive but so is everywhere else in Boothbay. I hope to return here in the next few years."
