"This property is a little older but seems like they're working to update it. The rooms were clean and the beds and pillows very comfy. The pool is clean and there are grills, horseshoe pits, tennis, basketball, etc. It's not the 4 seasons but you should know that from the price. You'll be comfortable and clean and it's more than sufficient. AC worked so well that we were cold in the room on a 90 degree day."

"Just stayed 4 nights at Ocean Sands Hotel. This is a beautiful spot directly across the street from the beach. The room was clean and well maintained. It was enjoyable going to the beach during the day and then have a swim in their clean pool before getting ready for dinner. There are nearby restaurants in walking distance and many options locally if driving. I highly recommend this hotel."

Ogunquit Tides Resort

8/10 Good
"Lot of positives. Only a few negatives. The location is good. Less than a mile to town and less than a mile to footbridge beach the other direction. Plenty of parking. Large pool. We stayed in the lodge. The room was big and spacious but the bathroom was very small. The only noise was from the loud AC and people walking around in the room above us but that was minor. The room almost seemed like they were in the middle of renovating it. The paint on the walls looked fairly fresh but the moulding looked old and sloppily painted. The shower had good pressure but the bed was too hard for my taste. They had bike and kayak rentals but way too expensive for little time. The kayaks were $15 for an hour and the bikes were $20 for 2 hours. Overall I thought this was a great place and would definitely come back."

"We had a very good experience here last year, which is why we decided to come back. This year, our room was an older accessible suite, and the layout was actually very spacious and convenient for several people.Unfortunately, there was a strong musty/damp smell in the room, possibly mildew ? that was quite noticeable throughout our stay. It was disappointing and unfortunately left us with a less positive impression this time around, especially after such a great experience last year."

"Room includes a bed and a bathroom. We didn't need anything more than that so when comparing prices in the area, this was perfect. Parking is a lot down the side street. It is made for small/mid-size cars and is accessible to guests before check in time (just check with front desk for a parking pass). For a one night stay after a show, the hotel was just right. If you are looking for a longer stay on the beach, the location is perfect but you may want more space."
