I stayed here recently as part of a group. Upon entering the room was a foul smell; could have been from the old filthy carpets, or the 1980s curtains, etc., not sure. Before turning in for the night I decided to check the bed to ensure there were no bugs as the room seemed ideal based on first impression. To... More

I go to old orchard beach every summer and have tried a few of the hotels on the beach. After staying at the waves I will not stay anywhere else! We stay in the two room sweet with a balcony overlooking the ocean. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and professional. The rooms are clean and modern and the new... More

We stayed in the horizon ocean side 2nd floor suite in the spring. Wonderful room, completely furnished, as close to the ocean as you can get. Big deck over looking the ocean. We sat out there drinking coffee. Waves crashing all night sound lovely.

Thank you for your review. The new flooring and paint in those rooms have really been a great improvement. The oceanfront rooms in the Horizon Building are very popular. We hope to see you again soon. More

My best friend and I took a trip with her Mother and Aunt. We live in Maine and figured it would be a nice weekend get away. We booked 2 nights at "Waves" and were so excited! Upon entering the hotel we were taken aback. Smelly, dingy, crazy kids everywhere an unclean pool...just EW! You got that feeling that bugs... More

This review confuses us. This person must not like children. As a family friendly property, we do have many children and their families at our place. We try not to describe these kids as smelly, dingy or crazy. Our brand new mineral pool and spa cost over $400,000.00 to build and is state-of-the-art. In June that pool was 1 month... More

The Waves Oceanfront Resort is like visiting a favorite Aunt's summer beach house! Everything is so relaxing and we step out our door onto beautiful sand. The hotel is very clean and everything provided for. The staff is friendly and accommodating, even bringing extra plates to our room without us asking for them. I don't know how the chambermaid knew... More

Dear Guest, Thanks for your review and I love the way you describe our property! Many people come to Old Orchard and expect to have the Four Seasons on the beach. When as you spoke of, we have more of a quaint classic Maine feel. Many of our rooms have Knotty pine finishes in the room. Some people call this... More

Booked this based on the overall rating here on Tripadvisor, along with being the host hotel for the Rev3 Triathlon. I admit, after reading a few of the negative reviews here, and seeing the photos of the place, i was nervous as to what it would be like. Arrived around 11am on the check-in day (check in is at 3pm),... More

Thank you for taking the time to review your property. Although we love to get higher ratings we understand and appreciate your concerns. The good news is we are getting brand new beds for the rooms in Building F and we are going to be putting new carpet and flooring in those rooms. Guests do love the balconies and kitchenettes...

My son decided to do the REV 3 Triathlon in Old Orchard Beach this past August. Waves was the host motel. We looked at some photos, read some reviews and booked 2 rooms.

I have been traveling to Old Orchard for many years. We have stayed at Waves before, and it is definitely about the location. The beach is right there - what else matters! It is close enough to walk to the Pier yet far enough where you don't hear any of the noise. The rooms are old but there are few... More
