We LOVED staying at waves. Building D beach side was basically ON the beach, steps from the pool, and only an 8 min walk downtown. Absolutely perfect family vacation. The room was not that nice, but it’s a beach motel and we weren’t in it much!

Train on the back door, photos were deceiving about being on the beach. We were across the street in building H with a train complete with the whistle buzzing by, which seemed to be every hour even throughout the night short walk to the beach, which is beautiful.

The location is great…a bit of a walk to the pier and rides but totally doable! The beds were comfy, linens were great…my only gripe would be the floors. Clearly they hadn’t been mopped and they had sand on them when we walked in. I did discover a broom in the closet the morning we left so if I had known that I could’ve swept them and it would’ve been great.

We had oceanfront rooms, but could not see the beach because there was Cottages in front of it…however we were very close to beach!!! the path to the beach was right in front of our room! We got there at 1:30 and were able to check in even though the check-in was at 3:00. The check-in receptionist was very sweet and the process was quick. We asked for a microwave and got them right away. Our room was clean. The beds were very comfortable. We had no complaints.!! I highly recommend staying here if you are planning to visit Old Orchard Beach
