Old Orchard Beach Inn

We just came back from our 4 nights stay. The Inn looked clean and offered a good breakfast, although in a different building. That is pretty much it. Our stay was not the most pleasant though. We booked a room for 3 people (we were traveling with our teenage kid) and at the time of booking I specified that I needed a room large enough for three people and an additional bed for our son. I called the Inn twice in the week prior to our arrival to make sure we had the room we needed and to let them know that we were arriving late in the evening. We arrived on Thursday night at 9 pm to find out that the room we were given was incredibly small and there was no place for an additional bed. The receptionist, a foreign student, called the manager who told her to add a cot to the already small room. We asked for another room and we were offered a room on the third story that was identical to the one we were given but with an awful smell and we declined it. The receptionist told us to either take the room we were assigned or leave. Little caveat, we had already prepaid a non refundable rate and at this time of the year there are no rooms available on Old Orchard Beach without a reservation. The receptionist did not seem to understand the conundrum of the prepaid non refundable stay and did not want to call the manager a second time to try to help us out. We did not want to lose the money we had already disbursed for our vacation so we had no choice but to take the room we were given, move the furniture around to fit a cot bed between our bed and a bureau (which then we could not use because his bed was right against the drawers). Every night we had to move all the luggage against the door to have enough space for the three of us to get to the tiniest bathroom you can think of (a closet repurposed as a bathroom). I do not understand why they accepted the reservation and ended up messing up with our vacation. They could have rejected the reservation saying that they did not have a room for us and I would have booked a room somewhere else. This small room could have worked for a couple but did not work for a family. The room service is offered every other day which meant leaving wet towels from 3 people's showers on the bathroom for an entire day. On one day, I asked for a garbage bag and put the wet towels outside the floor for someone to pick up. Same for the garbage. They sat there in the hallway until the next day. How do they expect people to shower every day, without a change of towels, especially after spending a day at the beach? There are a lot of things that could have been done better. We have been at OOB several times and other motels offer a much better service. I think there is a lot of potential but they need better management. Will not stay there again.

We were located on the top floor. Had area to ourselves. Rather small, sloping ceilings which limited ability to stand in some areas. Bathroom and bedrooms were clean but old. Nice breakfast for the family to begin the day. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Did not use the pool, was not clean.

We stayed in a suite and it was old and dingy. It felt and smelled like a neglected grandma's house. The carpet was stained, the furniture was old, and the wallpaper was peeling. Beds had old springy mattresses. The utensils in the drawer were all very dirty. There was a sponge but no dish detergent or kitchen towels. Luckily we were only there for one night and already planned to eat out. The only positive was the shower - hot, good water pressure and modern shower head. Would not return.

The room was very nice, but not once the whole time we were there did we see any staff. No one to check us in,no one to check us out. Nothing

Overall, it was a cozy and clean boutique hotel. If I would say anything, I did not get a breakfast because I was not able to reach out the venue.

We had a turret room with large windows affording a nice view of the ocean at sunrise (the leaves were off the trees over offseason holiday weekend). Very clean, attractive buildings. We were initially confused about the office location but staff were easy to contact, super responsive and accommodating.

Staff was absolutely pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was one of the best I have had at an bnb. Room was very clean! Thank you for the memories!

If you’re looking for a historically scenic and rustic stay, this is your place. We stayed in the main house that was decorated in the time period, which was so neat. Given the age of the building and our road-facing room, we had some traffic noise, but it wasn’t too disruptive. It’s definitely a summer beachy town, so many of the restaurants were closed at the time of our arrival. We walked around downtown, but had to head out of town to eat dinner. However, the morning continental breakfast provided multiple options and was better than expected!

Overall good! Would like to see improved breakfast If you stay longer time you would like to see some different items for breakfast. Choise every breakfast was: scrambled eggs, potatoes, sausage, pop tart, bread, one kind of muffins, fruit cup, one kind yogurt, cereal one kind. No juice and oatmeal at all! Need variations for breakfast. Would be nice to see some other items, like : bacon, boild eggs, waffles, pancakes, oatmeal , more pastries, juices, different kind yogurt and cereal.
