Family vacation

We stayed at On the Beach Motel to be close to our son and family vacationing at a house in Saco. It was perfect!!
Linda, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay!!!

Great hotel and location and very welcoming staff! Right by the beach and a good amount of restaurants nearby to walk to. It’s not far from Portland and other cities if you wanna drive to different locations. The only issue was being on the 1st floor you can hear the room above walking around and at times it was loud and woke us up.

Sara, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice, little hotel right by the foot path to the beach. You can tell this is an older hotel, but it has been completely redone and is well maintained. It still has the quaint feel of a classic beach hotel.
