Ocean House Hotel & Motel - Motel in Old Orchard Beach - 71 W Grand Ave, USA

Check-in staff was super accommodating. The parking is kind of just everywhere but is free for 1 vehicle. The rooms have a fridge with a freezer. The bathroom has plenty of space,the room is literally big enough for the king bed. I would definitely do a different room next time. There's no microwave or hot water on site. You can go to one of the other hotels in the chain if you really need it. The location is enough away from the rides and main strip,however, the Amtrak train comes through at 4a 530a and all day as well. From 9p-4a, I don't think I heard it. Definitely saw it at 830pm and woke me up at 4a Saturday morning 7/20/24. It's just something you might want to consider. It runs the whole of W Grand Ave. So if you are a light sleeper, you definitely don't want to stay here. The hotel it's self was a bit pricey considering the room size ,location, and lack of views. The beach is right in front and very easy to access. We probably wouldn't stay again. I'm not sorry we came. The sunset and sunrise were priceless.

I enjoyed my stay! The room was adorable and waking and seeing the ocean out of my window was the best. Right on the beach for easy access. Very cozy robes and the bed was also very comfortable. The decor is absolutely beautiful. Would definitely stay here again.

This hotel was adorable! It’s right on the beach and within walking distance of the pier and boardwalk. You also have access to 3 different pools including a hot tub! The inside is beautifully decorated to feel somehow both luxurious and homey. Staying here felt like a nostalgic return to simpler and happier times

The ocean house hotel was beautiful! A group of us friends went for an intimate bachelorette night out. We got 3 rooms here and they were beautiful. We didn’t use the pools because the weather was a bit chilly but we had access to 3 pools and a hot tub. One pool was at ocean house and the other two were at neighboring hotels. The pool looks very clean! This hotel was right on the beach and had a beautiful view. The bed was super comfy! Would def recommend and stay again!

The proximity to the beach was excellent. It was a few min walk to the pier and the palace playland. The room was beautiful and clean. There are grills to use and an area to sit, but the grills were very dirty and the area to sit had a lot of trash around it. The staff were helpful. I would stay again at this hotel.

We stayed in room 221 which was a king suite. Room was beautiful and cozy with a great view. Only improvements would be for the hot water to be a little warmer and our heat would not work. It was not cold in our room, but we did want it a few degrees warmer. Maintenance did come, but still only blew cool air. Beautiful renovation that we enjoyed!

We stayed in a beautiful second floor beach facing room with many windows. Separate sitting room with a TV. King size bed very comfortable. Bottom line- we loved our stay here and want to return- have made reservations for next year already. Please know that all reservations/check ins and outs/face to face interactions with staff for requests, etc. are made at the office at the Waves Hotel, down the street from this hotel. As we travel a lot (my husband and I), I will give some things that I would want to know before I booked any hotel. In the main Ocean House where we stayed, I believe all of the rooms have been renovated, and I love the bathrooms- super important to me to have a clean/updated bathroom. I'm sure every room has some variations in configuration. Although we had a lovely room with many beach front windows, there was no closet- the room only had five hooks to hang a hanger or two on. We actually bought a portable hanging wardrobe on the first night, so that we could hang our garment bags/hanging clothes on. There are also suitcase holders in the room, but we were part of a singing group and needed to hang clothes for performances. If you need an iron- bring one. I believe there is a hair dryer but I brought my own. There is no microwave, and we brought one. There is a small refrigerator and freezer, which is great. There are four glasses, but no other "kitchen wear/utensils"- bring disposable paper products if desired. There is no kitchen sink, so you wash dishes/utensils in the bathroom sink. The bathroom mirror in this particular room was not in front of you, but on the side. It worked. There isn't housekeeping unless requested. We requested a replenishment of towels once via phone in the room- and they came promptly outside of our door. We did our own "housekeeping" each day (we don't mind at all), and were able to empty our trash right outside the room into a larger covered receptacle. The Keurig didn't work so we requested a replacement, which also came promptly but hadn't been cleaned (old k-cup in it of unknown age) so we didn't use it. We just bought coffee each day locally. There is direct access to the beach. You could also use any pool at a variety of properties as they were all owned by the same person. The Seaview pool and Ocean House pool were right next to each other- both nice, clean, and not too crowded. BBQ grills at the Seaview also. The Waves pool was close by down the street. The Ocean House foyer and first floor public rooms (like 3-4 areas) are lovely- great gathering place- will bring board games for next year's stay. Consider using the room with the bar to serve AM coffee or soft drinks. You get one parking pass for one vehicle and can park on any of the Lafayette owner hotel properties. This was never a problem. There is no elevator in the main Ocean house. Nice walk on this road right down to the pier. Not sure if I should mention this- but I will- there was obvious smoking occurring in a room near ours, which we could only smell in the hallway when entering and leaving our room. A slight annoyance. But to reiterate, it was a lovely stay, and we are looking forward to our stay again next year, and hopefully for years to come!

I had a beautiful ocean view room and a great weekend getaway! The. Bed was very comfortable and the new renovated rooms were beautiful. It was a perfect location to be able to walk to all the nearby restaurants and bars. I would definitely stay again.
