Beach Hotels in Maine, United States

The best is breakfast, 10 o'clock, and breakfast

To be honest, the environment of the hotel is really quite good. The sea view of the hotel is very shocking. It is also a good place to escape the heat in the hot summer. You can also see the sunrise and the moonlight at night is also very beautiful; but it is indeed not cost-effective. It is not worth it at this price. The room is very small. Moreover, the down quilt in the room will drop feathers, and you will sneeze when you sleep and always feel that you have inhaled a little and it is very uncomfortable. Service: For a hotel at this price, it is also average, mediocre. If it were not for the beautiful scenery, it might be bad. The phone in the room I stayed in was also broken, and I couldn’t get through to the room service and couldn’t order food in the room. Facilities: There is no buffet breakfast in the hotel. The single-order breakfast is not cost-effective and not delicious; but the coffee, tea, soda and fresh milk in the self-service area are still good. The lobster is delicious. I ordered two two-pound ones, 66 dollars each, which is very big. As for the swimming pool, there is a hot spring, and you should be able to see the small pool with a sea view, but the swimming pool is not open until after nine o'clock, which feels a bit too late. It closes at ten o'clock in the evening. Also the check in time was too late at 4pm and the check out time was too early at 11am.

This hotel was overbooked so they moved us to the Marriott Residence instead, so this review is for this property. The bedding and bed were very comfortable- high off the floor for kids but perfect for tall people like me. I liked the white linens and the pillow top mattress. The shower was great and the toiletries were adequate. There were tons of towels and washcloths. I did not use the kitchenette but it seemed well appointed for quick needs- a full sized refrigerator, coffee maker with coffee and tea choices, dish towel, etc. The sitting area and desk were nice touches- the furniture was a bit dated looking but clean and unmarked by stains or heavy wear. The hotel was very quiet but included fifth floor parking in the nearby garage and proximity to lots of bars, restaurants, and shopping. Great location!

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.

It was very clean. Beautiful well kept grounds. Francis at the desk was very helpful and friendly. She went over and about the call of duty ta make our stay great.

Inn By The Sea is my hidden treasure, my oasis, my heaven on earth. There is nothing short of perfection that would describe my most recent visit as well as my past visits. The setting, the service, the food, the staff, the feeling of being among family, etc. makes this my favorite place for a vacation.
