Our room was really cute and clean and i loved the house they had us in, parking was super convenient to the pier and also safe. It was a little confusing as to where we were staying since theres multiple buildings and our friend's room had no hot water in the shower, also a warning to all that the toilets are extremely small and we are not even big people. Lastly, we were told payment was refundable and due at arrival but they required card info for booking and charged us immediately. read more

This is a cute 1700s New England inn located within a comfortable walking distance from old Orchard Beach, Maine. I would consider our stay pretty average. It was very cute and was definitely before the indoor plumbing era. For example, we had one of the smaller rooms and the bathroom was separated by the toilet and shower in a room within our room, but the bathroom sink was outside of that, facing our bed by the entry door. The room featured a small 13 inch television, a mini refrigerator, and microwave. The decor matched the style of an antique New England bedroom. With a place as quaint is this, I thought the breakfast would be a little bit better. Upon entry into the dining area downstairs, there was a rather disappointing display. There was room for improvement here. Breakfast menu: dry bagels, no cream cheese, mini butter packets, individually wrapped store-bought pastries, a set of shell-on hard boiled eggs, Polly-o string cheese, warm yogurt, grade school fruit cup, and standard coffee with coffee accoutrements (that part was OK). Now, I know I wasn't the only one as the older guests who stayed there might as well have said "oh naw." (it was giving "struggle breakfast"). A few of the folks had a few side jokes about the spread also. One way this hotel could improve the breakfast experience is by never serving that breakfast again, and recommend breakfast at the surrounding establishments within walking distance by the beach and only offer coffee. The dining area decor and architecture was beautiful with a fireplace mantle. They had also nice seating outside at the front porch area. The great thing about this hotel is that it is a pleasant walking distance from the beach and associated places. It was nice to see a fully restored building from several centuries ago still up and running. read more

The place had bed bugs. At first we thought that we had gotten mosquito bites, so we sprayed Lysol on the bed to hopefully get rid of them and that's when the bed bugs came out. Caught some of them and being late at night the front desk was closed and we could not get in touch with anybody. The next morning when we talked to management the first thing they asked was if we found them on "the base board or mattress", with no concern or surprise whatsoever, so, Omar, the manager has had the issue before and probably never reported it. We were then moved to another room but by then the damage had been done.  We had to spend the rest of our vacation washing clothes at the laundromat and cleaning and spraying everything even the car to avoid taking them with us. Then when we were turning the keys in to leave, I asked for the owners email and was asked "Why?" I pressed the issue and Omar said "We took care of the issue", and was dismissive of anything happening. He finally told the guy at the counter to give us the generic email that they have for reservations, not the one for the owner, so no wonder nothing goes past him and the problems get swept under the rug. Not even a sincere apology or any type of compensation. We paid about $1500 for our stay and were expecting a quality location that provided a safe and sanitary heaven for our stay. I would strongly encourage anybody staying at or thinking about staying at the Old Orchard Beach Inn to ask for reports of infestations, what pest control company they have used, and if it was certified by the Health and Human Services department. Situations like this can happen to any hotel, but the way they handle the situation makes a big difference especially when you are paying top money. read more

I stayed there on September 29, 2023 and was very unhappy with the service. My friend that I was sharing a room with arrived 30 minutes before me. The hotel called me and asked if I knew him. I said yes, let him check in and my son and I will be there in 45 minutes. I already paid for the room on line (booking.com). The desk clerk said I'll see you soon and I'll need your ID. When I arrived, my friend was sitting outside because they wouldn't let him in the room. I asked the clerk "why didn't you tell me that you were not going to let him in the room"? He said I need your ID to check in. He didn't tell me that on the phone or say he couldn't let my friend check in. We went around in circles and I left very unhappy with his communication. Then I get to my room. The intinarary said two bedroom, One queen bed, one double bed, and one double sofa bed. There were two bedrooms with one bed in each room and a roll-away cot. I went down to the desk and asked where the third bed was. He said there are two beds and two sofas. There were two sofas in the living room but they were not sofa beds. I said my booking was for three beds not two beds and a roll-away. He said that's what Booking.com calls two sofas. I said no, they don't call two sofas a double sofa bed, your ad on their site was wrong. I should get a discount (which I shouldn't have had to ask for). He told me I should contact bookings.com if I was unhappy. This guy was no help at all and knew nothing about customer service. I was visibly pissed and he didn't seem to care. Here's a couple of pics of the room I was in with damaged furniture. I noticed when I checked out he asked the couple in front of me how they enjoyed their stay. He barley acknowledged me, no "sorry for the mix up", and he didn't ask me how my stay was. Needless to say I will not be back to this inn. read more

We spent a great labor Day weekend at this historic 1700's New England Country inn. The two bedroom suite we stayed in encompasses the entire upper floor. The decore is period appropriate but the mattresses and pillows need to be upgraded to present day! The proprietor Jen was super friendly and accommodating especially in these difficult covd times. It is located just a few minutes walk from the pier, yet far enough to get away from all the action when you are ready to. Enjoyed our stay and recommend to others. read more

Old Orchard Beach Inn This is a VERY historic B&B. Very quaint, but warm, friendly, and clean accommodation. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Delicious cookies. We didn't get up early enough for breakfast, but it smelled delicious. VERY small LCD TV. read more

Old Orchard Beach Inn - View from our window. - Hotels Near Me - Old Orchard Beach, Maine

Very nice place. Perfect for a couples getaway. Rooms are large for an older inn and very clean. We booked this without ever having seen it before. Very quaint inn. Located in the perfect spot adjacent to the main street. Close enough to walk to the beach and all the other spots but separated slightly as well. The inn keeper was great. Very accommodating. They offer a very nice continental breakfast that exceeds what the chain hotels give. Homemade banana bread, with bagels, and fruit. Candidly, the only issue was the wi Fi was a Little weak. No doubt related to the fact the inn was fully booked and people were using the internet at the same time. Overall, A very nice experience. read more

Lovely place...an old house converted into an inn. The place gets good reviews, but there was no breakfast this morning. Someone came in halfway through breakfast after guests roamed around looking for food and used all the coffee pods. Our TV doesn't work. Our toilet is stopped up and no one is on premises to assist. When you call the number for assistance, you get a message to hang up and call another number. The voicemail box is full. We tried texting...no response. read more

I have no problem with idiots. I myself am a strange person. Many years I have summered in Maine, America's Place of Succor. The lakes. The sky. The land. The friendly people and their scary eyes. This year my family and I decided to throw ourselves for a loop and make a quick stop over in OOB (Old Orchard Beach). It was a beach. It's near Portland, the airport of our arrival. Simplicity is never of the essence but it sure can solve of a problem. This is a review of business, not a place, or an idea. I feel it my duty to inform those of you not overly familiar with the state that OOB is not your mother, your father's, your granddaddy's, or even your long-lost government's Maine. OOB is part Jersey Shore, part monster movie, part forbidden dance known only to the shirtless and vague. OOB is a party that doesn't stop, even when the floor gets slippery. And that's before the neon starts pumping. Pumping. Hard. I understand fully, then, how it is that the historic Old Orchard Beach Inn would strive to keep itself above the fray, in order to ensnare snobby and unsuspecting customers such as myself. Let's face it, I'm fancy and can't stand most of you. You will expire and I will be great. I like old hotels that cost too much and give you less for more. The bargain websites drove me to the OOBI and I instinctively threw myself upon it. Solutions abound! Unfortunately, while OOBI is indeed two kinds of historic, creaking under its own weight and infernal lost thoughts, it's also a place by the beach in this Place Called Trounce. It wants to be better and be more but come on, you're peddling silk in the bowels of a possum. This dynamic is wholly familiar to anyone who has spent extensive time studying how the lower classes are divided and conquered by the moneyed hands of capitalism. Did I mention I am supreme? From where does this anger come? Who saves evidence for the bath and plunges first into the toilet of the mind? Someone with an ace in the hole. Watch out for narrative: Owing to the cruelties of airline travel, my family, which now includes a toddler, flew a red-eye from Oregon to Maine. We were tired. We asked these people, these owners of this inn, if we could check in early to sleep. First I tried by phone. Then in person once we were there. The answer was maybe, if a room opened up. So we went to sleep in the car in the lot. THEY WERE APPALLED LIKE BANDITS DEAD IN THE STREET. In OOB, it costs $10 to park by the beach for the privilege of doing erotic business on its shores. So no dice being a vagrant in public. We were paying these monsters 15 times that for a room so hey, since there was no elevator and we were on the top floor (HISTORY HAS MADE MISTAKES, LIKE RAYON), let's kick it in the rental. What did this get us? Gossiped about by the staff. Mocked by the employees. Scorned like a thousand bees whose limbs have been cropped. We never felt comfortable. Things could've been different. Instead they were the same. I made attempts to hint that I was their better, or at least enough adjusted to fine inns that I could sleep in their parking lot without cramping their mission. No response. Flat hard surfaces--at a beach, no less! Every customer was a potential liability. The brand was for them, and a outstretched thumb in the nose of that city. We were just the cannon fodder. They fought every day to stay above the figurative water while being mere feet from the literal water. The morning we were leaving--it was a brief stay, about 16 hours--I was attempting to give my daughter a glass of milk. Milk. The simplest, most basic and pure thing unto child, even if it is no longer oozing from a mother's teat. Then thankfully, I used both eyes and not only looked but really saw: The Glass Was Chipped. As in, sharp, jagged edges about to rip apart her sweet face and possibly lead her to a life of shame and premature options. I swatted the glass away, milk flying everywhere and her skin stung without explanation, and marched over to the front desk. I presented this weapon to the owner and said, meaning nothing but help: "This glass has a chip out of it. I didn't know what to do with it. I didn't want it to end up back in circulation." "Oh. Thank you." Her face said more. But not enough. That's where we are today. You tell me: Where do we go from here? PS I am pretty sure the wireless doesn't work. I know the people sure don't. read more

This B&B is absolutely charming. It's a 5 minute walk from the pier and beach. About 30 minutes from Ogunquit (one of the cleanest beaches I've walked on. It had the most powdery sand), and 25 minutes from Portland. Walking into the B&B, I already knew I loved the place. It smelled like freshly baked homemade cookies, dim lighting, and 1940s music playing in the background. A few couples were gathered in front on comfy couches chatting quietly over coffee and cookies (which the owner did in fact bake herself). The staff was both professional and personable. Booking the reservation was easy with Christine, the owner. We looked it up online and told her we wanted the package where we could have the Lighthouse Lovers Cruise and City Trolley Tour. She included that with our room, gave us a discount, and arranged all our tours when we got there. We checked in around 8:45 p.m. (later than we had hoped), and Bill, a manager, kindly called us to ask how we were (he offered directions in case we were lost). He gave us a brief rundown of what we'd need to know in case we got there too late. We ended up making it there soon after the call. After settling in, he showed us where the beach was, and told us what shops and restaurants were nearby. The continental breakfast was good. I'm not much of a breakfast person myself, so I enjoyed the yogurt, fresh fruit, and granola. My boyfriend and I came for together for my 23rd birthday (he is 31). We were the youngest people at the B&B, and we noticed we were much younger than most of the people we met. That didn't bother us though. It's definitely not a party scene in Old Orchard Beach, but we did find a nice bar to walk to where we shared some drinks and listened Top 40. read more

This place really kinda sucks and is by far the worst "Bed & Breakfast" I've ever stayed out. Note the quotation marks because this place is more of a hotel with super ugly furnishing, shitty junk in the trunk TV, and a breakfast of toast and hard boiled eggs (i.e. comparable to a Super 8). There is nothing fancy or even cozy about this place. The staff is not very professional at all. Examples: loud Russian housekeepers squawking away in the hallway at level 10 voices for an hour while you're trying to sleep &the front desk person did not offer up help when we arrived and had trouble carrying our bags up the stairs (we were on a road trip so we had a lot of stuff). Instead, he sat there playing online blackjack. Lame. Also, LAME is the breakfast which is why I am super convinced this place is just a old fashioned Days Inn. We were offered toast and hard boiled eggs. Maybe this is how the French Canadians roll? Either way, it sucked. If you're paying Bed and Breakfast prices you should get a goddamn breakfast. It was August, I could have just left some eggs in the car and ate that. Additionally LAME were the amenities (or lack there of) which included a 13" old ass television, no ironing board or iron and small shower. It's advertised as a nice B&B not camping in the woods so give me something. Non-Lame: The location is nice as it's right down the main street and far enough away from the beach riff raff and they had decent wifi read more

I'm torn between giving them 3 versus 4 stars so I will do 3.5. This place is very cute and quaint on the outside and they seem like nice hard working people. But there's so much they could do to improve on things that would make this place awesome! First of all, the fact that this b&b is from the 1700's is just amazing. I totally respect antique things but there's a big difference between antique and just plain outdated old things. The pillows were awful. Flat and smelled a little funny. The bedsheets along with the matress were not impressive either. Those are the main important things for a b&b! My room was also decorated with plastic flowers all over the place...felt like I was at a grandmas house. Other than those things the breakfast was very good. I'm not sure what others are expecting but there was a good variety of yogurt, fruit, bagels, cereals, eggs and some other stuff I thought was a good layout. The location is awesome too just across the street from the pier and the beach. I will most likely not be back though cuz beds are very important to me but maybe the other rooms are better! read more

We cannot begin to express how much we've enjoyed our 4 night stay at this lovely Inn. The history spoke to my soul from first glance, the convenient location to shops and restaurants was important and service was absolutely outstanding. As parents traveling with a baby for the first time, we were those people who had a couple questions every day. The staff was so accommodating and friendly. We were assigned a pretty room on the 3rd floor which we foresaw as an issue with a 3 month old... Turned out to be a blessing, because when she fussed a few times we didn't feel like she was bothering people on all sides, and we were able to leave her stroller on the main level in a closet :) coffee and snacks in the afternoon was such a perk and the yummy breakfast and coffee on the front porch with ocean views was the icing on the cake. You get so much more than you pay for. read more

Old Orchard Beach Inn - Hotels Near Me - Old Orchard Beach, Maine

While our room was spacious, and beautifully decorated with antique furniture, we were very disappointed with the breakfast (which appeared to be rotten hard boiled eggs, milk that had been sitting out (for what tasted like hours) and a sad attempt at fruit salad. Additionally, the amount of dust in our room was problematic. I myself have been suffering from burning eyes and a runny nose for two days since I left the inn. That being said, the location of the inn couldn't be better, as it is a 5 minute walk from the beach and right near the main street where majority of the shops and restaurants are in the area. read more

Such a lovely place! All staff we encountered were very pleasant and the building is well maintained. Our room was very comfortable and cozy. They also had ample parking, which is a big plus. Location is also great, walkable to so many things. Would highly recommend! read more

Very loud humming and another RATTLING noise. Constant. Unable to sleep. I should have slept in my car. After 8 am and noone here to complain to. Got back after 5 and noone here. Called the after hours and a maintenance person came. I wanted to leave and get a refund for the next 3 nights. They REFUSED. Go elsewhere! Rooms not made up. No tv. Granola bars and clementines for breakfast. Do not stay here! read more

When we stayed at this hotel, I was still pumping breast milk for my five month old. We were here for four days, so keeping the milk in a cooler would not be sufficient. Every hotel and inn we've stayed at so far has accommodated this (either with a mini fridge in our room or allowing us to use a fridge for staff). This inn refused to accommodate our medical needs and instead told me I just needed to throw away all of the breast milk that I had pumped over the course of our stay. We even suggested that someone could take the milk home and refrigerate it (anything to not throw it away) and he said no. I definitely would find elsewhere to stay. read more

Great location, clean room. Breakfast was disappointing: (toast, bagels, yogurt, cereal and hard boiled eggs) Nice to snack outside for breakfast on a large terrace. You would be able to walk to the main drag at Old Orchard Beach, no need to drive. Not one of my favorite Inn's, overall look "a little ratty". We would stay again for the price and location. read more

This place in quintessential New England Inn. Amazing location, great porch complete with bunting and rocking chairs, and a lovely inn keeper couple who truly made us feel welcome. I really wish I could have given this place 5 stars but the bed was extremely uncomfortable! Pretty sure it's the very same mattress Benedict Arnold slept on when he used to summer at the pier and frequent Joeyoke. read more

This bed and breakfast was so cute and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Our room was nicely decorated and was clean and cozy. The breakfast had a good array of options and you are able to sit out on the porch and drink your coffee in peace. Very close to the beach and the pier. Would recommend to others and would stay here again. read more

This was our first time in Maine as well as the east coast so we were excited to see and do everything. We stayed here for 3 nights and things were not good as soon as we walked in the door. The girl who checked us in was not very friendly. She was in the back on a phone call when we walked in so we had to wait for someone. She checked us in and quickly walked us to our room. She briefly showed us where breakfast was a what time and that was it. Our bed was awful and squeaky. We slept horrible all 3 nights and were wishing for our own beds. Our toilet made a HORRIBLE noise every time you flushed it. Each morning we went out for breakfast and found the same thing to eat. TONS of pastries, cereal, granola, fruit and hard boiled eggs. As someone who can not eat wheat, my only option every morning was hard boiled eggs and fruit. Everything was brought in and nothing made in house. We tried to sit and relax on the porch but they allow smoking on the porch and there was no way to get away from the smoke so we had to retreat to our room. I would not recommend this place at all and we don't plan to every come back. read more

We have been coming to the inn for 15+ years every 4th of july week. This was my favorite place to go. The past 5 To 6 years, management has changed every summer. This summer the management was the absolute worst. Unprofessional, unaccomadading, inhospitable, rude and gave off the vibe that you as customers were below them and an inconvenience. They kept stating we are the owners of this business. We called the matriarch of the family who used to own the inn down in Florida and she stated her son still owns the inn and that management team was her other son's ex wife and new boyfriend. Probably the worst decision for the business. The rates keep going up and up every year but we still continued to give them all of our families business. Multiple rooms and multiple people every year. This will absolutely be our last year at this place. Sad after 15+ years. That management staff is ruining their business. I would not recommend this place unless you want to be disrespected and treated like a 5 year in grade school. read more

We loved our time at the Inn. The staff was incredibly gracious and welcoming. The rooms were comfortable, cute, and hospitable. Fresh baked chocolate chip cookies at night were delicious and left the place smelling amazing! They've thought of everything...the porch was stocked with citronella and comfy rockers! The location, right at the top of the strip, was ideal and allowed us to easily walk into town. We've already planned to return to the Inn next year! read more

We spent a night here a week ago, in unseasonably warm weather in October. The Inn was beautiful, and the innkeepers were friendly and informative. We stayed in a lovely corner room on the second story, with windows looking out toward the distant shore. In the morning we ate our breakfast outside on the front porch, and it was lovely. An open buffet breakfast, much like those served in Germany, with boiled eggs, fresh fruit salad, granola and a variety of breads and pastries. The interior of the old inn is immaculate, and the furnishings tasteful and restrained. I'm sure it must be much more hectic and noisy in the summer when the amusement park and beach are in full swing just down the road, but we really enjoyed the quiet backwater atmosphere of the place in October. Many restaurants and businesses were closed for the season, but we found a nice deli nearby, and could walk the 2-3 blocks to the almost-deserted beach. A great introduction to Maine hospitality! read more

My husband & I stayed here towards the end of our honeymoon in New England. The staff was very accommodating since we stopped in without a reservation, hoping they would have something available. We were shown two rooms, & decided on the larger. The price was great, & the staff was very helpful, however I do need to deduct a few stars. First, although this inn seems to pride itself on the fact it's from the early 1700's, it could definitely use some basic updating. I feel that would enhance the stay, without sacrificing the historical attributes of the building. For example, the bathroom shower was completely open & did not have a shower curtain. We found this to be a bit odd, & unfortunately the bathroom floor ended up covered in water after one shower. The bed was somewhat small, & the pillows weren't the most comfortable. Despite that, we slept just fine. Next, the room did not come with a microwave or fridge (we were told none of the rooms had either) & the tv was very outdated & the screen appeared to be damaged, as parts of it were green when we were watching a show. The price of our room also included breakfast, which was decent but nothing special. It included bagels & toast, some fruit, hard boiled eggs, & baked fruit bread. Aside from that, we really did enjoy the coffee! Overall, we were satisfied with our stay as we did sleep well and were able to overlook the minor details. I feel this inn would be perfect for someone looking to stay in a very basic room with no extra special amenities, or possibly even someone who enjoys an inn with some historical charm, as this place definitely had that. If I had to condense my review, I would say a night at this inn is a simple, basic stay with historical beauty. read more
