Moldy, dirty, ceiling wet and coming down, horrible beds, dirty bedding. Had to leave early because of the mold and I couldn’t breathe - ended up staying the night in my car. They did not give me any compensation for having to cancel the rest of my trip due to to their moldy motel. VERY disappointed!!

Walked in after check in and the floor was covered in sand. Not sure when was the last time the room was dusted off but it was not clean. I had to borrow the house keeper cleaning supplies to clean the room myself and feel somewhat comfortable. Staff and surrounding area were really nice . No complaints on that part !

for the price i was very disapointed, there were stains on the curtains, walls, ceiling tiles and the fan in the room was so noisy it made it hard to sleep. I did like the location and the view from our room, but it seemed like i was staying in a 3rd rate motel.

Hard time finding parking, staff not the friendliest. When mentioned of kids above us and noise, was told don’t worry they check out tomorrow. Provide 1 pillow per person and they were very flat, was told they don’t provide anymore than that. All outlets on opposite side of room so unable to use my Cpap machine

Beds are extremely uncomfortable. Room smelled really bad like must it made my throat hurt. Found 2 spiders in the room and another dead bug. Lighting is very dim. The sink was dirty, there was hair under the pillow so I don’t think the bedding was washed. There were holes in the wall and door where it looked like it was rotting.

The property I rented was listed as oceanfront but there was a fenced in pool directly in front of my backdoor and I could hardly see the ocean. I was hoping to have a waterfront view. I feel like I was mislead when I booked.

Amazing Ocean Views and Waves Sounds
It was our first time near the ocean after so many years. We couldn’t believe the powerful waves at the shore are real and stayed in the balcony for longtime admiring the ocean. Waves lullabied us in deep sleep and the morning view was as amazing as the night one. We loved the access to the beach in few steps. The pirate themed bar/resto was super cute and increased the beauty of the experience. Plus, there was a live performance of country music as well. The room is pretty good with the beautiful views, fresh sea breeze, and melodious waves. We were a bit worried due to some negative reviews. However, we had an amazing time and can’t wait to return. The service was amazing too. Whenever we texted for something, we got it quickly. Thank you for making our trip memorable. Even being so far, when we close our eyes and think about our time in Old Orchard Beach, only amazing things come to mind!

we had an oceanfront room with magnificent views of the sunrise. we listened to waves crashing at night. it felt safe and quiet our bed was small but comfortable overall it was clean, the bathroom could use some deep cleaning but honestly for what we paid, it was fine. We’d definitely stay again

I liked the proximity to the ocean and the view!!!! The pool was beautiful! The room was not clean and the smoking around us was not good. I did bring it to the attention of the management but it fell on deaf ears. There were no eating utensils, the stove top was rusty and the microwave was dirty. There was sand on the floor and the table upon arriving.

less than expected
The staff was courteous, but unfortunately the room had an odor, and was dark and dingy, the window screen was torn, there was hair left in the shower drain, so we ended up driving back home and not spending the night.
