I felt that calling this hotel a resort property was a joke. For 2 days linens sat in a tote no lid outside our room that were supposedly clean but really?? The railing ng down the stairs was filthy and we had to clean it ourselves with a bath towel only one side of the kitchen faucet worked and loose shower head cracked tiles too person that checked us into hotel seemed unsure of his job and was unable to help us move to a ground level room since no elevators here the pictures on their website made this property look much better than it actually was
No one ever changed our sheets so had sand in our sheets for 3 days as hello we are at the beach Also ice machine in an entire other building No microwave which was promised had to ask for an iron they brought it but ano iron board
In general this place was so disappointing to all of us and I have traveled for work for over 27 years this has to be the biggest letdown ever
Only plus I could say was mattress was good and chair was good that’s it

The hotel was clean but a little outdated. The staff was friendly, and they have onsite parking. The resort is on the waterfront so great beach access. It is also close enough and far enough away from the downtown area, about a 10 min walk.

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.

We stayed in a renovated room with nice wooden high ceiling.
For a motel, not bad, expect noise from railroad nearby as every motel here does, shower could use upgraded pressure balance so you don’t get hit with hot/cold shot when someone turns water on.
Bed is great, slept very well.
For one overnight, this was an ideal place with comfort and good price.

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.
