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.

Worth the money I paid
I agree that it needs a little freshening but with that said, the upstairs room we had contained a kitchenette with dining table and chairs. A view out both sides of the room, plus seats on the shared porch. The pool was chilly but it is the end of the summer season so that’s to be expected
