Guest Reviews
- Patrick (10/5): Parfait - Les propriétaire sont super sympathique
- 418Etienne (6/5): - Location Impossible to get a refund
Train at 5h30 am
- Julie (9/5): Magnifique - Chambre jolie et rénovés Rien
- Malia (8/5): Great location, really nice staff and provided us with a good time. I'll go back there again. - Because of the time that I booked, I had a room tucked away and really couldn't sit outside like I would have liked. The hotel manager advised me to book earlier if I chose to come back next year. I will do that next time. I am very tall, at 6'5" the shower stall was way too small for me.
- Katy (8/5): - Proximité de la plage
- Sherry (8/5): Overall very nice. Very clean. - Hotel room was very clean and comfortable, except for the bathroom, which was tiny.
- Tami (8/5): The cleanliness and location was an A+. - Great location right on the beach, easy to walk to The Pier, shops and restaurants. Went there for the 4th of July and our room had an amazing view of the beach, sunrise, pier and fireworks! Very clean!Friendly staff. There is a small heated pool. We were not happy with the comfort of the beds and pillows but that is just our opinion. So we did not sleep well. The parking is so incredibly tight and you do get a guaranteed spot but you can’t be afraid of pulling into VERY TIGHT spaces. The heated pool was nice but small and went from 3ft to 9ft quickly. As a group of 4 adults, the pool was enjoyable if you are able to get in without it being crowded with kids.
- Wendy (7/5): -
- Sharon (10/5): -
- Jesse (10/5): Really enjoyed my stay - I really enjoyed the accomodations and ease of spending much of my time at the beach!
- Aleksandra (10/5): -
- Melisa (10/5): Great price and location for our end of summer get a way - Right on the beach access
- Debbie (10/5): Excellent - Awesome location Parking was tight
- Jouvelakas (9/5): -
- William (10/5): -
- JULIE (8/5): Wonderful place to stay. - Bathroom was tiny and not a lot of hooks to hang up towlels or clothing. The toilet was tight to sit on and I am a small person.
- Carolynne (3/5): It was ok - Location There is a Grill but no place to sit- no picnic tables. Walls were extremely thin, can hear other guest very clearly. Lacks guest info about local restaurants, activities, and overall location information. Coffee, but no breakfast.
- Sophie (10/5): Petit séjour de rêve avec mes deux grandes ados! - L’hôtel est vraiment sur la plage alors même si nous n’avions pas vraiment de vue sur la plage puisque notre chambre était en bas, nous étions si près que c’était très pratique.
Très près aussi de toutes les petites boutiques et du Pier.
Nous étions 3 et l’espace était très bien. Très propre, lits très confortables, personnel accueillant et sympathique.
- Michele (10/5): -
- Tina (8/5): Loved the location to the beach. - Beds are hard.
- Carol (9/5): -
- albert (9/5): Excellent - closeness to beach parking
- Sarah (9/5): -
- Jessica (10/5): We had a nice getaway for a couple of days. - I loved being able to look out my window and see the ocean so close. I also loved how everything is within walking distance. I can’t think of anything.
- Linda (9/5): Perfect, the motel and staff are great, right on the beach. - Our first room was small, there was no outside sitting for us, there was no where to put our wet towels, over all I wouldnt want that room again (#2). BUT our second room (#12) was wonderful, lots of room, a tub not stall shower (being we had a child with us), we could sit outside by the pool, put our wet towels on the railing, it was great! Loved our second room. The staff were wonderful, pleasant, helpful, happy, happy to help, they were all just wonderful. Like I said above, we weren't crazy about room #2 but that is all. We stayed 2 nights in room #2 and enjoyed the staff, the pool, and of course the ocean.
- Kimberlee (8/5): - The room was very clean and we had a private entrance to the beach. The staff was amazing. There were few breakfast places close. Some restaurants had Parking lots but many you had to search on street parking. Tuff to get in and out of parking spaces. Room was a little old but very clean.
- Christian (8/5): -
- LUCINDA (10/5): Wait from the beginning, people were very helpful and wanted to make sure our stay was pleasant. - I own an agency and I stayed with four of my employees and four individuals that had intellectual disabilities. The staff were very, very accommodating and very, very nice to all of my people. I really appreciate the kindness. Liked everything
- Karianne (10/5): Très agréable - L’emplacement est idéal, belle piscine chauffée et proche du centre-ville. Rien
- Nicole (10/5): First trip to OOB and what a warm welcome this was - Centrally located to everything, 10 min walk to the pier. Staff was so kind, there is an outdoor wash station to wash sand off before entering the room. No fan in bathroom to help vent after showers.
- Jessika (10/5): -
- Bohanan (10/5): -

- Johannes (10/5): - Beautiful view, right on the beach so easy beach access and amazing staff
- Tammy (10/5): - Great room...ocean is just steps away. Close to everything on Old Orchard Beach main street
- Dena (8/5): Great staff. Very clean, right on ocean - Very clean. Room had view of the ocean but the window that faced the ocean also faced the outside walkway so had to keep shades drawn. The staff were very accommodating and helpful! Bathroom was tiny with no where to put toiletries. Big sitting room that took up all the space and was not useful. Bed was too soft
- Alexandre (10/5): Excellent - L'ensemble Rien toute etais parfait 😎

- Paul (7/5): - Nice Place BUT Train Noise times 4 during the night .
Disturbed Sleep
- Marie (10/5): Friendly beach of a place! - Great beachfront location! Friendly staff! Very clean! It was all great!
- Stephany (10/5): 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.
- Rebecca (7/5): -
- Elizabeth (8/5): - Good location, within a 5 min walk to the beach and 5-10 to the amusement park and main center. It’s an older hotel that’s been renovated. Rooms are nice size, yet the tv is small and the two chairs are uncomfortable and could be replaced with a couch. Bathroom was tiny and shower stall was small, but had a nice low flow toilet. Nice refrigerator and microwave.internet was slow-under 20 and no TV channels so you have to login to your own app accounts. . It was adequate for a weekend but I would not stay there for a week.
- carole (6/5): - la propreté
bien que changé rapidement et avec courtoisie les lits n'avaient pas été changés
nous avions les draps du client qui avait dormi dans le lit avant nous
- Lori (8/5): - Close to ocean and other sites No maid service? Not sure why?
- anita (10/5): Good beach location - Was as depicted online. Right on the beach
- Juergen (7/5): - Lage direkt am Strand, beheizter Meerwasserpool, freundliches Personal Old Orchard doch sehr geprägt vom Massentourismus
- Blanchette (9/5): I would definitely stay here again - It’s such an older part of town, but when we walked into our hotel room, it smelled clean it and was very well kept I’ve nothing negative to say about the property
- Claudia (8/5): - The office staff were very friendly and helpful.
The amenities were all great - enough of everything, very clean. The mattress was a bit harder than I'm used to.
Parking is a tight, but can't be helped given the limited space.
- Peter (8/5): - We liked how close we were to the beach and that we could walk everywhere. Shirley was wonderful.
What we didn't like was the coffee in the room and we thought someone would come in to make the bed and change the towels while we were out but no one did. That's ok but we just didn't know.
All in all we had a pleasant visit, would stay here again and already recommended On The Beach to another couple. Thank you.
- Susan (8/5): - Right on the beach
- JITENDRA (8/5): - Good place by the beach. Clean and quiet.
- Gil (10/5): - The best part of this motel was seeing the sunrise from the beach every morning! Phenomenal view!
- Anthony (10/5): - Awesome stay. We were greeted by Shirley who was the Sargent of Hospitality, she made you feel welcomed and made sure your room was perfect for you after you checked in. She went above & beyond to accommodate parking of our car, my husband right now has a bad hip. She held our spot so he did not have too much walking to do. Room was clean and had a wonderful view. The beach was clean and beautiful in the area. Wonderful Clean Motel with old school charm. It was in a reasonable distance to Kinneybunkport and Freeport. It was a great value for the money.
- Paul (6/5): - Convenient to the beach.
- Jared (10/5): - Weekend getaway for our anniversary and it was a nice place to stay. clean and comfortable. perfect location for walking everywhere
- Jean (7/5): - Great lication, great room size, Shirley was awesome, funny, helpful The bathroom size, parking was tight
- Julie (10/5): - Nice, clean property right on the beach. Close walking distance to eateries and shopping.
- Steve (10/5): - Great location, clean rooms. Marc and the rest of the staff went above and beyond to make us comfortable. We were so happy we extended our stay which they accommodated with no problem, we even got to stay in our same room! Bed was a little lopsided and uncomfortable but ok overall
- Rebecca (9/5): - The view The deck overhead lights, but I understand for security.
- Angela (9/5): Super Stay in September - Excellent place for our weekend getaway! The location & amenities were wonderful and the staff (especially the evening front desk woman, Shirley) were top-notch. The only thing we weren't aware of (I'm sure it was in our email confirmation or something) was there wasn't any cable TV available other than local TV stations. Not having cable at our own home this is what we most look forward to in a hotel/motel stay.
- simon (10/5): - Tout est parfait
- Louise (10/5): - Really nice staff, easy check-in, comfortable beds, clean, lots of hot water. Great location to the beach and downtown. Only complaint is that parking is very tight.
- Sara (10/5): Great place - Friendly staff and room was beautiful. Didnt like that I paid extra for king ocean view but was next to the stairs. Didnt realize it wasnt closer to the beach
- Stephanie (10/5): - The location was .3 of a mile away from the Pier and our room was very clean!
- Norman (10/5): Awesome we already booked again for next year - The heated pool was an unexpected surprise!

- Nadja (9/5): Tolle Unterkunft direkt am Meer mit Parkplatz vor der Tür - Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt. Die Lage ist super, der Strand perfekt für ausgiebige Spaziergänge. Der Pool war beheizt. Wir haben oben gewohnt, hatten zwei Stühle und einen kleinen Tisch vor dem Zimmer auf dem gemeinsam genutzten Balkon. Mikrowelle, Kaffeemaschine und kleiner Kühlschrank mit Gefrierfach vorhanden. Eismaschine an der Rezeption, kostenloser Kaffee zur Selbstbedienung zu den Öffnungszeiten der Rezeption.
Super Ausgangslage für Tagesausflüge in den Norden und in den Süden. Poolwasser war etwas trübe.
- Johannes (10/5): - p
- Gabrielle (9/5): We had a great time. - There was breakfast? We really loved how close the beach was and loved the pool. The room at night was not dark enough due to outside light.
- Amanda (6/5): Nice place, probably will return if rooms are available - Location was great! Practically on the beach. Room was clean with extra blankets. The bed was very firm and the pillows were also very firm, would be nice to have a few options of pillows. And the pool could stay open later. I understand stand kids can be loud but people are on vacation so it should definitely be open later.
- Zachery (10/5): - Awesome
- Ryan (10/5): Short and sweet - Loved the spot and the people there. Shirley was great!!
- BRIAN (10/5): - The staff is amazing they go above and beyond. Mark in particular was an absolute vacation hero. The best will be booking next year there again shortly

- Tara (10/5): Highly recommend! Clean and right on the beach ! - Excellent ! Staff was great , and very helpful when my 10 year old locked us out of our room! Our room was great, very clean , and we had a keurig!
The motel is directly on the beach which is huge! Also the pool was heated and actually warm which was great! I can’t think of anything , excellent property!
- Kelly (7/5): Nice place but... - Liked the table and chairs in the room. Great beach!
Great shower head! M2 parking is a joke.one guest had to have hotel staff park her car.
Most convenient stairs were blocked off due to managers area, and had to walk around.Total inconvenience from our assigned parking.
Ad said beach chairs and umbrellas available and continental breakfast. Motel had neither. Coffee available after 9 and wasn't kept full although Keurig in room.
Shower didn't properly drain.
