Sea Cliff House Motel (Old Orchard Beach, USA)

Travellers often choose this accommodation because of its desirable beachfront location and its proximity to the attractions of Old Orchard Beach. Positioned alongside an expanse of golden sands and less than one mile from the town centre, the motel is a hit with beach lovers and water-sports enthusiasts.

Rooms and facilities at this motel are frequently described as clean and well-maintained. Many travellers remark on the cleanliness of the sparkling oceanfront pool and hot tub (only for age 12+). Reviews suggest the hotel's beach is similarly well-tended and safe for children and their buckets and spades.

Guests love the world-class ocean views afforded here. For many, relaxing with a drink on their private balcony and taking in the perfect panorama is the most memorable aspect of the entire stay. Other guests love waking to the sound of gently crashing waves.

Though many reviewers have positive things to say about some family members that run this motel, dozens of disgruntled guests have penned scathing reviews after unpleasant and aggressive altercations with one family member in particular, who some suggest is prickly and prone to angry outbursts.

Several angry guests have reported problems getting their security deposit back. Some felt wrongly accused of damaging in-room items and advise travellers to check everything before departure. To exacerbate matters, guests have encountered difficulties trying to reach the motel's manager by phone or email to contest issues.

According to many guests, rooms here are a little small. Cramped conditions might be improved if unnecessary items of furniture were removed. Bathrooms are equally tight, with a shower that feels like a closet. Many guests overlook such failings because of how little time they actually spend indoors.
