The property was certainly dated but that gave it some charm. The rooms were spotless and the owners were so friendly. Could see the ocean from our balcony. Easy walk to the pier! Would stay there again in a heartbeat!!

Perfect location friendly staff

It was great- perfect spot. The owner is so friendly and welcoming. The variety store is so convenient and the sandwiches are delicious. The room was nice - nothing over the top but was comfy and had a great deck overlooking the street. I would def go back!

Great Experience

The room was outdated, but clean. I really liked that the pillows had plastic covers (not the kind that make all the noise) under the pillowcase. Housekeeping was punctual and attentive ensuring our privacy and comfort while keeping our room in tip top shape. If you are a coffee lover please note that there isn’t a coffee machine in the room and the cost of a small cup of coffee in the store is $2. I also feel it’s helpful to point out that check in is done in the convenience store. Paul was very nice and asked for our feedback whenever he got a chance. We took a griddle to cook food on and it didn’t bother him at all, actually sold us some supplies that we forgot to bring (overpriced it was convenient). Overall we had a great stay!

Not as bad as I thought..

Staying at a convenience store motel, I had my doubts. Small microwave, fridge, 2 beds, air and a TV... Room was cleaned daily with new towels. Short walk to beach and pier... Nothing to complain about. Could have used a coffee pot and hair dryer, but the store sells food, coffee, beer and ice.. no pool though....

Dissapointed

I booked the reservation in July and showed up on 7/3 and was told they couldn't "find" the reservation. The response of the staff was "they did to me again". You would think that if you've had an issue with online bookings in the past you wouldn't continue to use that service but that didn't seem to matter to the front desk of the Moby Dick Hotel. Instead of the reserved 2 twin bed room with a kitchenette that was reserved, we were offered a single bed box of a room (mind you we had 2 other people staying with us) with a small college fridge and broken AC. Had to laugh when we were told that the tv shuts off sometimes and you just need to "get up and plug it in again". All this and they also wanted to charge more than the agreed upon price on Expedia. Mistakes happen and if the staff had done anything to try and appease the situation I wouldn't have written this review. I thought they would have offered a free night in the future or some money towards the more expensive room that we now had to get but no, nothing was offered but a "sorry". We ended up staying at the Aquarius down the street. A little more expensive but well worth it.

It was close to the beach, but very outdated.

Train behind the motel blowing its horn as it passed 2:00 in the morning. One day it rained all day, so it was hot and we decided to watch TV, but the air conditioner was so loud you could not hear the TV. The toilet broke once and it was found that a Christmas tree hook was used to hold it together. I repaired it and then another time if plugged up. Beds were uncomfortable, the screen door fell off several times and the door lock would stick so badly it took two of use to open it. There was no ice and no breakfast. This room needed a complete do over.

Great Stay at The Moby Dick Motel

My husband and I stayed our last night of vacation at the Moby Dick in Old Orchard Beach. This stay was one of our best on the trip! We loved Old Orchard Beach and the Moby Dick was in a great location, the beach access is right across the street with a great restaurant/bar overlooking the ocean. Walking distance to the pier and shops. The hotel was very clean, our room had a balcony and we could see the ocean. Overall, would highly recommend the Moby Dick Motel.
