I stayed at old colonial in Sept '12. I wanted to bring my shih tzu puppy to the beach and thought this would be fun. CONS: The room smelled and there were no other rooms available. The king size bed was hard and uncomfortable. It grossed me out. I was very uncomfortable barefoot so I kept shoes on, the shower... More

Yes, the parking here is awful! It looks like the pool was put in after the motel was up & running, so it takes up what used to be the parking area. If you bring a pickup or SUV, good luck! The living/sleeping area looked updated, but the "kitchen" and bath looked to be original. We didn't eat in, I... More

I checked out the reviews on trip advisor- and after a call decided to give a shot. Colleen was great on the phone, gave me quite an accurate idea of what to expect. I traveled single with my toy pom and what a nice retreat we had! Stayed in a efficiency unit that was acceptably clean, comfortable, pool side and... More

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.

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
