tomarrow im going to grand beach inn.the pictures online of the hotel look beautiful.i will write my comment about it when i come back.from the pictures on the website,it looks very clean and beautiful.i read some of the comments on here.some of them are good, some are bad.mostly bad comments, but i dont really see why. i will be back monday.and i cant wait for a grand experiance !

if you want a really bad smellly place to stay, then go to ''grand'' beach inn.when i walked into my hotel room it was freezing and it smelt so bad.i looked in the closet and there was a metal bar on the floor.that was what you were supposed to hang your clothes on. in the corner of the closet there was spiders and dust.on the stairs i found a dead moth and the staircase spelt like pee.my rooms tv looked like someone stuck a computer on the wall.the tv didnt even work.the bath tub had mold on it. the pool wasnt heated even though their website said the pool was heated.if you go on grand beach inns website, dont let the pictures fool you, this hotel is really bad. and old orchard beach is beautiful.

it was terrible! my room smelt really bad and the floor was stained. i bet you there was bed bugs.screens you couldnt open because their was huge holes in them and then the bugs would come in. now the bathroom,when i looked up on the celling i saw bugs eating it! probely termites. the mirror was stained and so was the tiolet.when i turned on the light to the bathroom the fan atuomaticlly turns on and the fan was so creaky.and the back of the door knob was gone so you couldnt close the door.the beds are filty i thought i was spleeping on sand. NEVER GO TO GRAND BEACH INN!

I was sceptical to begin with because of all the negative reviews, I emailed via " contact us " regarding my concerns, never received a response. The motel was not the cleanest or newest , but I have been to old motels that were a lot cleaner, the help def seemed lazy. One night we were kept awake by people partying in the pool, I believe it was all employees, because the office is open 24 hrs and there is now way they didnt know what was going on until 3 in the morning. we only stayed because vacancies were limited. we actually stayed an extra night and the second room was much nicer. nothing fancy but nicer. if they are going to be renovating they should be giving discounts. I asked for wash clothes but told there were none. I am disappointed to see that the price now is cut in half, I pd 160, now its around 85. and it is still peak season. I might contact my credit card company regardimg this. If they ever finish renovating it might be nice, the location is good, a short walk to the beach. It is tolerable, but ive been to cleaner. the trolley is easy to pick up to go to the pier. also the outside lights all go out at 2am, i think that this is a safety violation, my daughter arrived later than that and it was too dark to see, and Unsafe. Might report that also.

First of all, the clerk that checked us in seemed bothered by our arrival. There were four or five people sitting in the lobby watching TV and I think we interrupted their movie. One of them was our housekeeper we came to find out. He (the clerk) didn't have any suggestions as to where we could get a bite, he just pointed at a table in the lobby and said 'there's delivery over there'. That was just the start. The grounds were beautiful, but the pool was not. Neither were the halls and stairways. As we entered the stairwell to get to our room, we noticed huge spider webs, with spiders and dead bugs. It looked like a spider farm! And the stairwell itself didn't look like it had been cleaned in years. Good points, the beach is just across the street, there is a restaurant on premises, the room did have a kitchenette. Bad points: The room smelled and the floors were sticky (even the carpet). There was sand in the beds. The housekeeper came to do our service and we asked her to come back, that we were just leaving for the beach. She never did. We went down to the front desk to ask for towels and they said there weren't any. (I don't understand why there weren't any towels!) The room also had a very strange smell, like stale ocean, mold and pee engulfed in cigarette smoke, although our room was supposed to be non-smoking. They have not chased the bugs away for so long that the insects from the marsh had taken residence in every niche of the place. There's black mold growing in the corners (of everything!) and on the decks. We didn't let the kids out. The best part? We left early! After our first night we went to the office to complain and the manager was so overwhelmed with complaints, she in fact looked like she had been hearing it all day. It was a learning experience. From now on we will stay at a place we have stayed before or check it out while we're there. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. It was a waste of time.

For my first experience in Old Orchard Beach, Maine, I will never return. This was by far one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. The first three rooms we were assigned too were filthy, with spiders crawling all over the room as well as filthy carpets. Upon bringing this to the managements attention we were given our choice of three new rooms, each of which we equally as filthy. The beds were horrible, paired with the terrible smell and filth of the entire property. Lastly, upon returning home I read reviews which made several mention of bed bugs being an issue here. I would highly advise against this place- the website is a complete misrepresentation of the hotel and a great trap for vacationers. STAY AWAY and pass the word! I plan on making a call to the Board of Health/ Inspectional Services in Maine first thing in the morning- this dump needs to be shut down immediately!

We had two rooms here for one night recently. The price was right, but the rooms were a little dirty and run down. One of the rooms had no curtains on it. Some bugs and spiders in the bathtub/shower. It is due for some updated decor. I got the impression that it was only as good as it has to be to attract "value-conscious" guests. Several blocks north of the Old Orchard Pier, which is good if you want to be a little bit away from the crowds, but bad if you want to be in the thick of things. I don't think I would go back, there have to be better choices.

ARRIVED FOR 1 NIGHT, NO DISCUSSING AS TO WHAT THEY OFFERED IE:POOL, HOT TUB JUST HANDED ME MY ROOM KEYS AND SAID, THE CREDIT CARD WAS CHARGED, I DON'T NEED YOUR ID. AND HAD ONLY 1/2 ROLL OF T-PEE WHEN WE GOT THERE, SOAP WAS FROM 1960'S AND FELL APART AS SOON AS I OPENED IT, GREEN CARPET WAS SLIMY AND FELT DIRTY. THE OUTSIDE DECK WASANGELED AND WOOD ROTTING AS WE STEPPED OU ONTO IT. AT 11:45 THERE WAS A MASS OF "VERY LOUD" PARTIERS ARRIVING, I ATTEMPTED TO CALL MAIN OFFICE AS THEY WERE SCREAMING AND BLASTING MUSIC...(WOKE UP MY 3 &5 YEAR OLD) NO ANSWERING MACHINE, NO-ONE ANSWERING. i WAS NOT ABOUT TO WALK DOWN TO CHECK FOR AFTER HOURS NUMBERS WITH MY KIDS IN TOW. CAFE IN AM WAS BUSY, LADY SEATING PEOPLE SNAPPED AT US, "GO INSIDE AND GIVE YOUR NAME THEN WAIT OUT HERE." WE WANTED TO JUST GET COFFEE AND TAKE OUT, SHE DIDN'T GIVE US A CHANCE TO EVEN TALK. WOULD ONLY RECCOMEND THIS PLACE TO YOUNG PARTY-GOES, ONCE YOU HIT 30 YOU'LL APPRECIATE THE WARNING.
