We've said in OOB every year since we got married. Many times it was at the old Colonial. When we arrived this last time the room was completely unclean, coffee stains on the tables, the 'shelf' in the kitchen was falling down, there were crumbs on the couch and beds, the AC didn't work, TV was broken. Basically no one... More

Finally, made it back to Maine and the ocean, what a treat! I agree the rooms are dated and parking is horrible but, we were ON THE BEACH !!! And, yes, the hot tub is actually in the corner parking space, but I still went in and enjoyed it. If you want a quality room, don't stay here. But, if... More

Clean pet friendly hotel. The hotel has a kitchen and nice pool. Plus on the beach. Only thing is the parking is a little tight. Rooms are also a little small but clean. Doesn't really matter it's not like your living in there just to sleep. More

This was our first family trip and we were excited to find a 'pet friendly' hotel. However, they don't tell you (until you arrive) that you cannot leave the dog unattended at all! Unless it is in a crate- which we didn't bring. So we had to bring him everywhere with us- which restricted the places we could eat at.... More

My parents and I stayed at the Old Colonial for the last few days of August and the first few in September. After booking, I was checking out Trip Advisor and thought we'd made a huge mistake based on the reviews. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Yes the motel is old, probably built in the 1950's, but... More

We have vacationed in OOB for 5 years and thought we'd try a new place to stay...big mistake. We had made a reservations with a one night deposit and upon arrival we were required to pay for the remaining 3 nights without being allowed to inspect the room first. (Now we know why).The room was 8' from the pool (very... More

Arrived at check-in time. Room was in far corner of hotel with not much of an ocean view (as advertised) and had to step outside the door to see the water. Room is in need of serious updating. Venetian blinds were bent and had to struggle with closing. No black out curtains in the bedroom so street lighting at night... More

My husband and i go to Maine every year sometimes twice a year. When we bring the kids this is the place we go. The best thing is having 2 tvs. Not having to watch cartoons makes it worth alot lol. The staff and owners are all great, very friendly. I think the worst thing about the motel is the... More

Only good thing was staying out of the room. Tiny kitchen, place falling apart actually-blinds an shades torn and terrible.Not the cleanest place in OOB and the pool was very small. Owners didn't even try to keep the peace. A lot of strange coming and goings in other rooms. We did take the grandchildren to the Marginal Way and Walkers... More

We booked the deluxe room with oceanview and private balcony and paid $370 for two nights. The room was very overpriced and very outdated. The carpet was stained, the room smelled, the blinds were broken, the picnic table was falling apart, and the bed spread looked like it had come from 1970 (probably was last time it was washed too!)....
