Staff was super friendly & informative. It’s an older motel in a beach town, but it’s very well maintained. Room cleanliness, staff presence, room service quality are all excellent. Definitely will be our first choice for future trips to Old Orchard Beach.

I loved the three pool options and the location. Everything was in walking distance so we never had to get back in our car. However the place is very dated. It could use a refresh for sure.

Was great that i could walk out the building and walk right to the beach. Parking was terrible. Was no parking by the building we stayed in. So had to find a spot. But over all was great. Quiet and peaceful.

Very noisy after midnight, teenage girls and boys laughing and talking very loudly on balconies and stairways on 3 different occasions from 1:15am and on,car alarms going off repeatedly for extended periods of time.
And then the Train! Not very noticeable during the day but came through blowing the horns at least 3 times between 11:00pm and 6:00am
No parking available.. Had to park in a satellite lot across the street.
Will never return

Well, it's hard for me to write a negative review because "dated" seems to be the theme in Old Orchard. The amount of dust and lost items under the bureau was minor. The bathroom shower door was broken on arrival, we couldn't shower on day one due to flooding the bathroom (and you want to shower at a place like OOB). My child refused to touch the toilet because it was "gross".

Great view to the ocean. In between your view will be a parking lot and swimming pool.
Beds were comfortable. Bathroom needs upgrades. Staff was nice.
Town was empty. Property is a block away from train tracks. Train honking fews time in the night.

Walk to the ocean in 1 minute was great. The hotel itself is old, needs updates bad, walls are thin and they don’t enforce non smoking. The bathroom barely is big enough for one person and we didn’t have a table in our “efficiency” to eat on since the tv took up the table. No microwave. Again great location pool was fun and the exchange students at the pool were awesome.

The beds were so comfortable, has plenty of heat and cooling. mini fridge and two range tops for cooking .
The view from our second floor balcony was very beautiful!
The only downside if you have mobility issues. it's quite a walk to get to the beach as the resort is located on a dune . It's quite the hike down and up to reach the water even at high tide.
but obviously that's not their fault. it's a beautiful resort. the pool is lovely. I would have a rule in the hot tub if it was me for a half an hour or 45 minute time limit as people were hanging out in it long periods of time and and and 2-day stay son, daughter and I weren't able to use it which was kind of a bummer.
