3-star hotels in Old Orchard Beach
This shortlist gathers the 3-star hotels of Old Orchard Beach, a Maine beach town of pier, sand and boardwalk. It is for couples, families and short-break visitors who want a place near the beach or the compact downtown, all within about a kilometre of the centre.
Staying in Old Orchard Beach
Old Orchard Beach is built around its pier and beach, with shops, food stands and an amusement park close together. The town is compact, so the sand, the pier and the downtown sit within easy reach of each other, which suits visitors who want to park once and walk. Maine's ocean stays cold even in summer, so many people wade rather than swim.
The hotels on this list sit along the beach side and the town side. East Grand Avenue addresses cover Biarritz Motel & Suites, The Executive Motel, Beach Walk Oceanfront Inn, Sun soaked Coastal Cottage w Deck Walk to Beach, Old Orchard Beach Home with Patio Walk to Beach and 68 East Grand Ave. West Grand Avenue addresses cover Waves Oceanfront Resort and The Sands Townhouses. Brown Street, Pearl Ave, Walnut St, Cascade Rd, Saco Ave, Portland Ave and White Pine Avenue fill in the rest. Some are suites and cottages with kitchens, others are motels or inns with pools and patios, so couples, families and business visitors can all find a fit.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around

Amtrak's Downeaster train serves the town seasonally, with direct service from Boston and Portland. By bus, Concord Coach Lines stops in Saco, about 5 miles away. In town, many attractions are within walking distance, especially near the beach and downtown, and a local trolley runs in summer between key areas. Bicycling is possible on quieter streets.
When to go
Summer, from June to August, brings the warmest weather and the most attractions open. July and August are busiest, with the beach and boardwalk at their liveliest. September offers pleasant weather and fewer crowds, though some businesses may close after Labor Day. Winter is quiet, with many establishments shuttered. For a quieter experience, late spring or early fall works well.
