The room was clean, and was very cute. It also had an arcade machine which we all loved!

Gorgeous!

We were impressed by the @ home atmosphere of the owners offering a hot plate, sink, untensils, cookware, mini fridge. Very welcoming decor/bright & light. Management were very nice/courteous. The downside is that it could have been cleaner - floors and baseboards, etc. Shower wasn't that efficient re: hot enough water. We would return though. Waiting to make sure we get a receipt for staying an extra night and it not going through via the internet/just dealt w/ the management, directly.

Nice small older motel. Clean and comfortable.

Owner was very nice. We could not get the tv to work and needed more towels she was quick to help. The kitchen was not stocked very well and could use some deep cleaning, mold on shower liner, but was a place to stay at a reasonable price.
3.9
It was filthy. Manager was rude und unhelpful. You hear everything through the walls. The floors moved when someone next door was walking. Real treat! And I’m sure black mold was in the bathroom. It was stuffy but when you turned on air, you got a load of dirt floating around the room
3.9
The matresses need a serious discard they are by far the worst.I understand not being able to clean all the sand, maybe suggest leaving one for guests to do a sweep themselves through out their stay as it can easily get outta control

We never stayed. We were turned away because the property said we never registered which we did! So we lost the $185 deposit. I believe Expedia has proof of my payment. My card ended in 3320 Visa. I now have a new card if I can get my credit. Please help me with this and let me know. Thank you. Penny Tanner. We never stayed nor got our money back. That's the best I can do. PT

The room was very nice and wasn't like a traditional motel room. It was very clean and had a nice ocean theme. The bathroom was a little small, as well as the shower's. But i would recommend staying there.
3.9
Not only is this property not kept well . The floors were sticky, there was a smell in the room and the bedding doesn’t look or smell clean. The man who runs the motel is rude and made me pay TWICE. The man states that expedia does not collect money though I was clearly charged when booking. Th Ed man states this happens often and gets into fights with guests. Horrible service.
3.9
The property seems to be going through some renovations. Room was clean and staff was friendly. But, it was advertised as a standard studio with kitchenette - there were pans in the new cabinets, but no cooktop or toaster oven. Just a microwave, small refrig. and toaster. Location was good, walkable to see a performance at the Seaside Pavilion, and about a 15-20 min. walk to the beach.
3.9
Liked they contacted us because we were going to be late checking in. Gave us instructions how to avail ourselves of room.
3.9
They double-booked our room, so we never got to stay at the motel. They didn’t even called to tell us, but instead told us at our arrival, after a 5 hour drive. They never responded to our messages on Expedia. Also, the price for the room at our arrival was more expensive than what was listed on Expedia (in US dollars).
3.9
Randy was very friendly, walked us right to our room, and the location was perfect!

While the motel was not the worst I’ve stayed in, it definitely was not what I expected from what it was advertised to be. When I booked the motel Expedia asked for a deposit which I gave, and said it would be taken off of the final price. When I checked in I was still charged the full price and the owner denied there being a deposit on Expedia. It turned out the deposit money was never taken out but I still ended up paying for than i had originally expected. In addition I found the owner to be very condescending and gave us some creepy vibes. Whenever he would see us he would ask if we got drunk or high then also remarked on how quiet we were which was just weird. End of the day nothing happened but I definitely didn’t feel super safe. The room itself was fine, not super clean but passable. The shower had some sand in it when we got there but that is to be expected at a beach motel. The location was a short walk to the beach but far enough away from the pier and town that it was not noisy.
3.9
Needs some TLC, old outdated furniture, 15 minute walk to the beach, not horrible for the $$, Randy is very nice
3.9
The floors were very sandy. Floor had broken/shifting tiles. Bathroom / shower very dirty. Unclear if sheets were cleaned between guests. However, great proximity to the beach & pier.
3.9
Need to update facility, especially the bathroom.
3.9
The owner was very kind. The room was spacious. Full filled our 2 night stay. Wish it was cleaner. Could definitely walk to downtown old orchard if you were not lugging much. Its about a 20ish minute walk. The motel is near a busy road. Kind of noisy and you can see headlights in the window when cars go by. But it accommodated our needs fora short stay.
3.9
Didnt have room available when we got there. Parking was crowded. Small unit and bed
3.9
Randy is always very welcoming and helpful. Cozy and comfortable room, and 10 min walk to the beach.
3.9
Overall place was very clean and staff was easy to work with.

When we got there the room we booked through Hotels.com wasn’t available because evidently they weren’t even open for the season yet so they moved us to another location which wasn’t open yet either but they had a room ready so they put us there. They also charged us again even though we had already paid and it’s been 7 days but we still haven’t gotten our refund. The room was okay but the bed was miserably uncomfortable. The person working there or the owner or whoever the person was sat on the front porch right by our window late in the evening taking very loudly on the phone using curse words. Later in the night we couldn’t possibly sleep for all the commotion going on upstairs which seemed odd since they technically weren’t open yet. The kicker of them all though was that we didn’t have heat in our room we could only turn the air conditioning up high so the cold air wouldn’t come on but you had to go out into the hallway to get a remote control to change the temperature and then put the remote back out in the hallway! By the way I know some may think we’re crazy to need heat in June but it was 50 degrees in Maine that morning. Stay away from this place. The gentleman who greeted us was very nice and informative and the young man that helped check us in was nice but everything else was the pits!

From the outside this is a very cute motel and the room décor is adorable and well done. Unfortunately, the rooms are not clean. There is a small kitchenette with some kitchen utensils, glasses, silverware, etc. The dishes are dirty and the utensils sitting out had a thick layer of dust. The decorative mats on the tables are stained. The walls and doors have dirt and grime. This is especially apparent when you close the bathroom door and have to look at the dirt and grime. The bath mat is a memory foam rug that was damp. The bed dips in the middle. Thankfully, we were there only one night. I can overlook most anything, but not dirtiness.
We stayed at the property on the last night of our trip. We were originally going to stay the first night too, but on the day of our arrival the owner charged us more for the room than was booked and confirmed through Expedia. He said this was an Expedia issue and that we could cancel the room (which we did for the first night) and he would refund our money. So, we cancelled thee first night and kept our reservation for the last night of our trip. However, I wish I would have canceled that last night too as the owner did not refund the first night until I reached out several times and only then he refunded a partial amount. A month later and he still has not refunded the rest even though he said, "I will give you the stupid 50.00. Merry Christmas. Do not attempt to contact us again or you won’t get it. I promise."

The room was nice and cheery, with a little sitting area and kitchenette. The proprietor was hilarious, and he also offered good tips on restaurants and things to do. Great stay!
3.9
The owner is really nice and already helpful and would say again
3.9
Rooms were a little dated but clean, the mattress and bed boards a little soft and squeaky but serviceable, and the neighborhood could not have been quieter. Easy check in and check out. Convenient distance from Portland.

The room smelled of smoke even though it was supposed to be a smoke free room. The bed was awful

Mr Tandy was helpful. The cottage was in a good location.

We had a wonderful stay. Gentlemen that checked us in was friendly & helpful. Room was very comfortable, roomy & clean. The kitchenette was nice. A great spot to spend as a home base when in the area.
3.9
I kind of knew what I was booking and the area I was going to, therefore there was no surprises. I just needed a place to stay for the night before a race I was attending. What I was disappointed in was the mattress. It was old, lumpy, and depressed. It forced me to sleep in the same area due to the depression not allowing me to roll from side to side for comfort. Mattresses are relatively inexpensive and should be changed out more than once a decade.
3.9
Just what we were looking for. Owners were very accommodating to our later check in.
3.9
Randy was soo sweet and accommodating to us upon arrival. It’s the cutest little inn!
3.9
I see alot of people are leaving negative reviews. I don't understand why. This isn't a 5 star hotel with that being said we loved the place. The owner was extremely nice and welcoming. Would definitely stay there again. Close to the beach and quiet. Yes the place is older but everything was clean in our room. Remember everyone you get what you pay for. Our cost was $70 dollars for the night. If you want to he waited on hand and foot then go and book your 5 star because this isn't the place for you. If you want to stay somewhere quiet and and close to the beach for 1 or 2 nights this is the place.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. Very cute and clean.
