Guest Reviews
- Lisa (4/5): - This place was terrible. The mattresses were so worn that my husband and I both ended up with back aches. We ate at the restaurant on the property and although the food was good, I ended up in bed for almost two days with food poisoning. They state free Wi-Fi, but they must have bad routers because the signal does not reach the rooms. When I mentioned this to the office staff they stated that they do have Wi-Fi but it randomly works. This would have been fine, I could live without Wi-Fi for a week but i had made a commitment to do work during the week and now my boss is not going to be happy. I was told I could bring all my work down and sit near the office in order to get my work done. The place is very run down. It does have potential but it looks like the owner likes to save a buck. We have been visiting OOB for the past 30 years and this was the worse place we have ever stayed.
- April (8/5): - Covered parking area was helpful when loading our stuff in the rain and the room we stayed in was very spacious. The bathroom in our room was very bright and the lobby had extra coffee pods we were able to resupply our room with.
- Patricia (8/5): - The beach is right across the street! This place is a healthy walk from all the action. This means it has a sweet spot on the beach that isn’t crowded and has the pretty, soft sand. There is a frequent $2 shuttle to the pier, restaurants and palace playland. There’s a bar/restaurant downstairs with music. We did not feel noise was an issue in our 3rd floor spot. As far as cleanliness, the staff is always around cleaning. It appears many rooms have been renovated. Ours was but it’s a hotel by the beach at a reasonable price, so it’s not a fancy pristine place but it’s pleasant. Beds were soft enough, new mattresses. We brought our 9 month old Havanese and there were spots for walking him. Others had dogs at the outdoor restaurant, not too many, just a couple here and there.
- James (6/5): - It was alright
- Susan (8/5): - Great location Needs updating Friendly staff
- Jayson (10/5): - Friendly staff
- Steve (8/5): - The room was clean, just old. The down side was trouble finding parking on site if you came back late. We literally got the last spot.
- Michael (2/5): DO NOT RECCOMMEND - Left a day early because they are not gay friendly! Thats all.
- vicky (8/5): - We enjoyed our stay. Wish we could have stayed longer
- Terrilynn (4/5): Not the ideal place to vacay!!! - My Husband and I booked the room for the weekend because it was our 10th year wedding anniversary. The location was perfect for us, however the motel staff shut our keys to the room down an hour before (check-out at 10am), so we had to get the keys reactivated just to get back in the room to get the rest our belongings, so it was inconvenient asfar as that goes. But other that that, they were friendly or at least the cleaning staff were, but I wouldn't book again for this place if it were the only available place to stay...
- Jill (8/5): - This is an excellent place to stay if you want to be close to the ocean but out of the crazy crowds of downtown. It is dated outside but the room were very clean, the staff was excellent and you can't beat the location to the beach!
- Verified traveler (6/5): Get what you paid for - Overall was looking to sorta save on money since it was only a single night away, definitely paid for what I got. Got placed in a room on the third floor. The outside walkway on the third floor had low spots/divits with cones on them and caution tape on the railing. The room itself wasn’t terrible but the lights did not work, the beside table lamp and alarm clock were not plugged in simply because there were no outlets behind the table/beds. The bed mattresses sank in the middle when you laid on them and the shower head had a very weak pressure. The upside was the pool and the little bar/restaurant area although they were always packed. Would stay again but definitely would pay for anything other than the standard room
- Audrey (8/5): - I didn’t like that they now have 3 gazebos taking up space in the pool area, that they charge extra per hour for guests to use!! Just put out more lounge chairs and maybe some umbrellas
- McKinley (6/5): - While the rooms were spacious and overall the value for the price was good, there were minor inconveniences that disrupted our stay. First off, we did not get to check in on time because our room was not ready. There was a dying battery in the key mechanism causing it to set off an alarm. The refrigerator was not working and had to be repaired. The most frustrating aspect was the exterior lights to the complex that remained on all night. It was so bright in our room that I was unable to sleep most evenings. A sleep mask helped slightly.
- Matthew (10/5): - Great family vacation spot, close to beach, trolley stops out front. Bar and pool are huge added bonus and live music til 8. Rooms are ok, the kitchen was a great upgrade. Beds and bathroom are basic but with young kids it made it easy. Staff very accommodating.
- Melanie (10/5): - It was great!!!
- Elizabeth (6/5): So-so. - Nothing about this hotel stands out. While the employees are nice the accommodations are meh. Dated, spares and in need of a serious updating and revamp. Close access to the beach and shuttle buses. Bed was like a granite slab. Furnishings looked like something from a dorm room. If you are just looking for a place to crash it is ok. Do not expect anything other than the basics.
- ADA (10/5): - live music
- Amanda (2/5): - My room had black mold!! Pool was dirty, rooms were dirty! Visible stains on sofa and bedding. The mound of trash at the dumpster was disgusting. The staff were nice but property should be condemned.
- Anne (6/5): - Leaks, loose furniture, poor indoor lighting.
- Remington (8/5): - The outside bar is nice hangout the only thing I didn't like was we were 2 couples that got 1 room 2 beds for night drove separately and was told we needed to park 1 vehicles off property somewhere not knowing or any info of this area we parked both vehicles here anyway
- Roxanne (6/5): - Restaurant was decent
- Kristina (8/5): - The room its self was fine but the parking was limited and all you could see is garbage everywhere
- Verified traveler (8/5): - We liked the evening concerts which we could watch from our balcony. The room could be better equipped with hangers, a luggage holder, a small microwave. Also, the shower outside the pool wasn’t working, so at the very least a hose should have been set up for beach people to rinse off before using the pool, I saw several get in all sandy from the beach. Nice, clean soft towels and sheets.
- Kelly (10/5): - Great location
- Annie (8/5): Voyage famille - Propre, tranquille, employés très gentils. Belle ambiance avec chansonnier les soirs.
- Arlene (6/5): - Food at the restaurant was good. Bed comfort was not good, pillows were uncomfortable and they were not queen beds as stated. The outdoor lights were too bright and you had no control to shut the outdoor light off which made the room too bright. There was not enough lighting in the room to read or anything similar at night. Also there were no outdoor chairs where our room was located. Ice machine was not working our whole stay. Pool was shut down for most of the day on one of the days and the temperature in the pool was too hot when operating. The pool was also very small and falling apart. They did not clean our room, make the beds daily, or replenish coffee k cups/toiletries.
- Stephen (2/5): - Beds uncomfortable, room above kitchen with no balcony, no view, old outdated hotel
- Mary Anne (6/5): - It's a little run down and the ice maker is out of order.
- MICHAEL (4/5): - The only positive thing is it's close to the beach and theres parking. But for the rest it was a very bad experience, beds are uncomfortable, the futon mattress is impossible to sleep on it you feel all the futon metal in your back, mattress is finished. They dont mention that its a none smoking property, you have to smoke outside their territory. Ice machine doesn't work, they told me to go buy , theres a depanneur not far instead of offering a solution. There was 6-7 dead insect's right beside the bed and the futon was full of dog hair. I'll stop here...and let you discover the rest if you book there!
- Michelle (4/5): - When we arrived we immediately noticed a musty smell in our room, the ceiling tiles in the bathroom were falling down, hinges on bathroom door coming off. We went immediately to the office and there were no other rooms available. We were told someone would come the next morning to fix ceiling tiles no one showed. We went back again and the gentleman at the desk came himself to fix the tile which too over an hour and a half. Very disappointing
- Shauna (10/5): - Staff was helpful, food was great, good entertainment, trolly was available right at the location, clean and the heated pool was a great bonus! Was a great stay!
- Angela (6/5): - We have stayed here many times. This year, my room smelled awful and had a leak in our bathroom ceiling.
- ANGEL (10/5): - We arrived early and they allowed us to park on site so we could enjoy the beach. Staff was very friendly on check in.
- tom (8/5): - Nice room. Close to beach
- Michael (6/5): Would Stay Again - We booked a balcony room. It was on the third floor, and there were no elevators. Folks with mobility issues should be aware of this when booking. Our room had 2 double beds. One of them was very uncomfortable; it felt like the springs were poking through. It turned out the mattress was on upside down! We were thankfully able to flip it. The room was spacious with basic amenities, but lacked things like coat hooks or a closet. It was really clean except for the floor, which felt sandy from the start. My biggest complaint is that the property is lit up like an airport runway all night long. The room had blinds but no curtains, so our room was never dark. I ended up having to buy a sleep mask to be able to sleep in the room. Despite all of the above, we would stay here again. The proximity to the beach was fantastic (right across from a public access street). The pool on the property was also great. While we didn't eat at the on-site restaurant, it was frequently busy and the food I spotted there looked good.
- Jason (2/5): Lipstick on a Pig - 1st impression looks nice on the outside ..clean- has a pool, little bar area.. but that's where it ends sort of ...you have a suite on the 3rd floor..guess what no elevator..hump up all the luggage...ok get in the room "looks" nice , renovated maybe new flooring, paint (the lipstick) as we get settled in things are a bit "off" like the night stand power, maybe the plug is bad yup and missing the cover plate which has the mattress pushed right up to an open circuit. but wait there's more. we asked for 2 queens these are like twins at best..what? ok then put the kids on the pullout sleeper, mom on 1 twin & dad on the other.. sat down to take off shoes and the box spring collapses to the floor ..you cant make this stuff up.. on both beds the box springs are broken cracked unbelievable (imagine kids jumping)..the last few items are the missing escutcheon on the sprinklers (cover plates) & the fire alarm was disconnected and hanging by the wire from the ceiling. Also, no secondary door safety latch non Electronic the overall back off house needs a lot of common sense upkeep the door to enter the stairs had a pile of trash right in front see all the pictures
- edward (6/5): - This property is ok. It is a little i er a mile to get to the playland & arcades but 2 minutes to beach access. However, the stove did not work, the toilet did not flush well & there was only one i e machine & it did not work. The pool is small but clean but the pavement around pool was sandy & not swept at all. The bed pillows are very small. Not the comfort I am use to. I would not recommend this property.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Good location - This was our second time staying here, overall it was a great stay because of the location but there were a few things that were upsetting. The ice machine was down all 5 days we were there which is super inconvenient especially when we needed ice for the beach. Second, the WiFi never worked it doesn’t reach the second floor and they replaced the couch in the suite to a small, cheap futon. Luckily, we only needed the king bed because the futon would never be comfortable to sleep on never mind sit on.
- Mai-Lin (8/5): - I loved that the beach was in walking distance. I loved that they had someone singing at pool during supper time. I only got to hear him sing for a short period as i was leaving. Wished i could have stayed to listen a bit longer. They had a basic kitchen but missing some supplies. You had to ask for a toaster as not all kitchen have one?? Had to improvise for a strainer and oven mitts, scissors but overall was great. I'm sure if i had asked, the staff was more than pleasant to assist you with anything. Room was spacious. I would come back being so close to the beach and only a 30 mins walk to the pier, if you dont want to take your car.
- Neil (8/5): - Quick check in/out; friendly staff Nice bar/restaurant, live music Nice heated pool Very close to beach
- Karen (4/5): - No access to wifi
- Abriana (4/5): - Very dirty
- Verified traveler (10/5): - People were friendly, place was clean. No issues. The Bistro was good food/drinks and entertainment.
- Lisa (10/5): - We enjoyed the kitchenette room with balcony. Room was clean and spacious. The bar and restaurant were great and convenient. I would recommend more beach chairs around the pool area. The cabanas were expensive and not being used.
- Wendy (8/5): - Great for families gathering Close to beach Music, food, pool
- Putri (10/5): - Perfect
- Kayren (8/5): - Allows pets very close to the beach walking distance heated pool
- Judith (10/5): OOB - Very close to the beach. It was a nice quiet area and on the trolley line to take you to the Pier. Wi-fi didn't work as well as it could have and I had only a few bars on phone.
- Constance (8/5): - Great location,guiet easy access to beach
- Verified traveler (4/5): Lesson Learned - The Wi-Fi STILL doesn't work here - I had an important Zoom meeting and ultimately switched to another hotel..This place has so much exterior lighting it's insane, the amount of rodent size moths / insects flying around made me pass on sitting out on the balcony at night (no way to turn off balcony light). The room was "clean" but the whole place needs a serious update / over hall. It could have potential if the owners actually put some money into the place.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Meh - I wouldn't go back - The hotel is old and showing signs of needing major improvements. The furniture is old and shabby. More like yard sale finds than what you expect to find in a hotel. AC is only in one room and in our room would not cool the bedroom. Don't expect more than the bare minimums. Hotel bar and restaurant is nice.
- Carol (8/5): - I appreciate the friendly and helpful staff. I would like to have hangers and a spot to hang clothes in the suite and a box of facial tissue in the room,next time. .The rooms are clean .I appreciate the restaurant on site.I was phoned that the room was ready and available for an early check in, which was a welcome surprise.
- April (4/5): - Beds were very squeaky and uncomfortable, lights blasting at night with no curtains on the windows
- Lauren (2/5): - This is close to a pretty private beach and includes parking. Other than that its a dump. The beds are literally paper thin with springs digging into your back, i asked for a new room they said that all the beds are like that.
- Karmen (6/5): - The pool area was very nice but the rooms/bathrooms are outdated.
- Danielle (8/5): - The staff was friendly, pool was clean, beach was across the street. They only thing i didn't like was the bed only had 2 pillows and the lights were really bright at night, they shined into the room. Other than that it was a really nice stay.
- Brittany (8/5): - We came as a family of 4 for a long weekend Friday to Monday we arrived early and were able to check in right away our room was ready the rooms were clean and stocked with plenty on towels the staff was friendly and nice. There was live music every night and the food from the restaurant was the best we had during our visit we would definitely come back for a second stay
- Mark (2/5): Buyer beware - The only good thing with the place is that it is near the beach and another hotel that has a tiki bar on the beach. Other than that, it was dirty, tiles in the bathroom are broken and there’s no grout. The tub had mold and somebody else’s hair. The mattress was horrible, you could feel spring poking into you. The staff was not great as well.
- Wendy (8/5): Nice place and excellent customer service - Overall a great place to stay
- Intaisha (10/5): - Very beautiful hotel
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Great location - across street from beautiful beach. Spacious room. Easy check in. The cable TV didn’t work… desk man tried to fix with partial success. The room did not get dark at night. The bright lights on the balconies stay on all night, and the blinds in the room, while attractive, do not block the light. Bring eye masks
- Tim (10/5): - This was a great place to stay for our trip. My daughter loved the pool, and short walk to the beach! The little Bistro connected to the hotel made eating dinner easy. Didnt know that the room had a stove, full size fridge and sink, plus all the dishware and silverware ya would need. Had i known that i would've cooked a little bit, but next time i will. The staff was friendly, and rooms were super clean. The hotel is farther down OOB, and the beach was less crowded and flatter going down to the water. I would definitley reccomend this hotel to simple people and families with kids :) Also has a trolley stop that will take you down to the Pier and strip! Thanks for a great place to stay
- Florencia (8/5): - Rented a king suite for 6 people. Room and hotel space was wonderful. Right near the beach. Be aware if you drive in more than one car we were not able to get a second parking spot and had to park 1.2 miles away in an overnight lot for $80 a night. Extremely frustrating as the parking was clearly not enforced with numerous cars not displaying the parking sheet we were given for our one car.
- Mildred (8/5): - Very clean and nice
- Melissa (10/5): - We loved that the hotel was just walking distance to the beach. It was a perfect spot to be able to get around the area easily.
- Chantee (8/5): Relaxing Independence Day Weekend - Relaxing for a 2 day getaway!
- Verified traveler (6/5): Keep looking - We were supposed to have a bigger room and they switched us to 2 adjoining rooms due to issues. The AC in 1 room didn’t work. They tried to fix and couldn’t till next day. I have asthma . Luckily we could leave the other room open for some air. Still stuffy though. The tv in other room didn’t work. The cable line just went in wall like a spring. That had to be fixed next day as well. I asked for more towels for both rooms and 1 room wasn’t even touched. No towels no, cleaning. With so many issues I asked if there would be a discount at check out. The manager yelled out no so I would hear. I can have a 10% if I come back. I will never go back! The outside looks beautiful, but they need to spend some money on the rooms. The shower had chips in it, the other shower had terrible shower head. The beds were old and stained. This place would be fine if it was cheaper. You get what you pay for. The plus of this place is the nice, quiet beach is right across road and so close!
- Riad (10/5): - Wi-Fi signal was very bad in the room. But room is very nice. Big clean we love the place.
- kimberly (8/5): - The heated pool is very nice. There should be a spray off area outside for people to rinse their feet off after going to the beach. Grills were listed on the website, but they were no where to be found.
- Danielle (6/5): Far - We travel to OOB every summer, and we stay at a different place almost every time. I guess we are still looking for a favourite. This place was clean, the staff was friendly. Our room was in good condition overall, except the mattresses. They were the worst I’ve ever slept on in a hotel. So sagging in the middle that the edges were up higher than the rest of the mattress. Great for keeping little kids from rolling out of bed, since they couldn’t roll over the humps without some effort 😂 The location is great for the beach, you just have to cross the street. But if you want to be close to the pier and palace playland, it’s a long walk. It took us about 40 mins to walk it, but that was with small children. It’s a pet friendly hotel, which is great if you have a dog. We had a friendly dog neighbour. Overall we won’t stay here again, mainly because it’s so far from the action, and because many of the beds are old.
- Marlaina (6/5): Wish it was better - Check in went ok in the beginning. Then maybe a hour or two after we checked in around like 8pm my phone kept ringing was the hotel calling me I answered the first time and said they didn't call me, the 2nd time was just dead air and the 3rd time it was a man asking for my card information which i left at time of check in and i guess they didn't save it. When i was trying to talk to the person he was rude and cutting me off. Mind you we were at the pier at this time and there was a lot of background noise. I was trying to explain it to the caller but he wasn't very happy something about needing to print a report out. Sorry that isn't my fault I gave the information to the person at check in. Then when we got back to our room around 9:30pm a fuse blew. called the office twice, waited 20 minutes then had to call again. Again they seemed like we were a inconvenience to them. Wifi wasn't working for anything Was an ok stay but really was hoping for a little better especially what we paid nightly.
- Danielle (6/5): - I really enjoyed staying there for a one night stay however there were dirty cigarette cups on the balcony that we’re not ours and also we were put on the third floor and I am super pregnant and so it was a little bit hard to maneuver around bringing up everything up and down the stairs
- Dolly (6/5): - The hotel room didn’t smell the best at all, mold growing in the bathroom, lights out and flickering, beds were not very comfortable, overall a good stay, quite a walk to the pier. About a 3 minute drive
- John (10/5): - House keeping provided an excellent service, no issues. Area was quiet and peaceful environment. Quick access to beach. And transportation was available with trolley service. A bistro with bar was available if interested. Overall I enjoyed my stay.
- Mikayla (4/5): - I would love to do a full review but I don’t think I could express enough that the lack of cameras are completely unsafe! Barely had any toilet paper, had to keep asking rather than them stocking with more than 1 roll. You could tell they don’t sweep everytime they check rooms, took them 3 days to finally sweep our room. Barely anywhere to park, extremely packed. We had originally got a room with a private balcony just to be put in a room with a balcony shared with others. The air conditioner SUCKED, had to keep turning it up on and off throughout the day/night.
- theresa (8/5): - It was a great stay and budget friendly for a family of 5! The beach is a short walk from the inn, pool was super clean and not crowded, the on site restaurant food was good too!
- Heather (6/5): - It is a beautiful place. Our room was decent size but the beds were caved in on the sides and were pretty uncomfortable. I didn’t realize the train was right outside and went most hours so it disrupted sleep. The pool wasn’t very clean as my kids got rashes from being in it. It’s also very far from downtown which was one of the reasons we wanted to stay but we didn’t realize how far until we walked about 20 minutes or more to get to a restaurant and stores.
- Chelsea (10/5): - Very nice. Easy beach access
- Bobbie Lou (10/5): - Amazing restaurant!!
- Tara (4/5): - Doesn't look like the pictures
- Michelle (8/5): - Our room was clean and I loved the water pressure in the shower! There was no elevator, which wasn't a deal breaker ( but also never mentioned in the location description). We enjoyed the outdoor bar and atmosphere in the evening. Super convenient to Portland.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Just need more toilet paper and towels in the room and trash changed. But it was beautiful stay!
- Carmen (10/5): - .
- Dawn (6/5): - I did not have a balcony like I thought I was going to have. When I was ready to check-out. I went to drive out and it was blocked with a truck tried to go out the other way and my car dragged all the way out. The manager told me that isn't how we are supposed to drive out, but it sure looked like it. Toilet ran so we had to keep fixing it.
- Adam (10/5): - Didn't like the fact that I was on the middle floor and they put a family of kids above us that banged around the floor starting at 5a.m. and then till midnight.. but the restaurant there was amazing and the staff was way cool
- Audrey (8/5): - Very relaxing and everyone is very friendly
- Samantha (4/5): - We had arrived to the hotel and went in the room was freezing and the WiFi and cable wasn’t working the hotel staff came into are room and we went aware that they had did that stuff was moved and gone threw
- Miguel (8/5): - It had that home feel to it. The outside 3as a little overpowering at night but it was a good experience
- Amy (8/5): - The staff was amazing! we asked for extra pillows and issues with our box spring. They addressed it super fast and with no issue. Overall property was clean, daughter loved the pool. Some of the not so good things the kitchenette sink water did not work, and kerig did not work. There was only one coffee mug in the cabinet.
- Leonor (8/5): - The location is great. The place is older. Bar within the property with band is a plus. Could use some furniture upgrades especially the bed.
- Alicia (4/5): - Ok
- Jennilee (8/5): - The staff were very nice and the property was very clean. The rooms were spacious, although the beds need to be upgraded. They are older and not the most comfortable. But other than that, everything else was lovely. We also ate at the restaurant on site for breakfast and it was delicious. Would return again.
- Trina (4/5): - So we stayed at this place last year and we couldnt use the air-conditioning due to the amount of mold growing in it. But i chose to stay here again 🤔 we rented the delux suite. When we arrived i realized we had no microwave, i asked management and they had a microwave in our room by the time we came back! The chair had a broken leg, so we only had 1 chair for 3 people, we made due and pulled the table over to the bed so we didn't have to stand, lol Now lets get to the scalding hot water, my son was taking a shower and the temperature instantly became so hot, he fell out of the shower and ripped the shower curtain right off. Thankfully he was okay, but his skin was hot and very red...it burned him!!! We had 2 full size beds, the bed me and my husband slept in was terrible, very bumpy and springs coming through. Needless to say i did not sleep all nighy and had back pains. I even thought about eating the next 2 nights and booking at another place down the street. I couldnt even think about sleeping in that bed again, the other bed was not as bad. I love the location of rhe motel, but we will never come back, to outdated
- Barbara (10/5): - This is my go-to place when I need an ocean stay in Maine. It is directly across the street from miles of sandy beach, just over a mile from the amusement park atmosphere of the pier at Old Orchard Beach in southern Maine. The staff is extremely welcoming. The restaurant/bar within the motel confines has a wide choice of options and again, the meals and service excellent. I hate to recommend the Grand Beach Motel because I may not have availability next time we want to book. It is very close to Portland, and the mill cities of Saco and Biddeford (for scouting out on a rainy day).
- Dominique (6/5): - Definitely will not be stay there agin,although the room appears nice the fact the bed frame constantly hits the wall,cupboard door was about to fall off when opening,ceiling tiles left in the room,no real curtains,and also I can literally see under the door made me feel extremely uncomfortable.The people didn’t bother us but the small pool wasn’t properly cleaned and wasn’t heated as it says online.No offense to them but as I’ve read other reviews a lot of people’s concerns were dismissed by the owner which was very disheartening to read.
- Sonya (8/5): - We enjoyed our stay here, check in was great , very friendly staff. There was an issue going on at the hotel and we had a little wait before we could get to our room, it was no problem. Pet friendly & access to the beach is right across the street. It was quiet & the room was spacious & clean. No issues and I would stay here again.
- Vanessa (8/5): - Excellent service! Short walk across the street to the beach. On site restaurant was a plus. The rooms were a very good size and we liked that the in room fridge was a little bit bigger than typical. The sounds of The Marsh in the back was pleasant to sleep to. This is a great option for budget travel.
- Marcus (2/5): - I like the rooms I stayed in just the team members associate with property are very rude and ignorant with no type of business ethic nor how to treat a guest with customer service.
- denise (10/5): - Very friendly.
