The hotel was clean but a little outdated.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.
