The room was so quiet and comfortable! And I loved that they don’t use the same sterile over bleached white bedding everyone else uses. I know where I’ll be staying on my next trip to Old Orchard Beach!

Everything with the Sea Drift Motel was great! The staff were all nice and helpful, even gave us recommendations for the best Fried Clams! The rooms were very clean. The location was perfect for our young family just 2 mins walk from the beach and the heated pool was perfect when we needed a break from the sand. We will definitely be visiting them again and would absolutely recommend anyone to stay there.

Absolutely perfect for our short honeymoon! The room had everything we needed: a mini fridge, microwave, TV, AC, and a comfortable bed. The location is ideal—just cross the street for beach access, and from there, it’s less than a mile's walk along the shore to the Old Orchard Beach Pier. ​Our room was kept clean and tidy between days, and they even have grills available if you want to cook. Missy was awesome! We loved our stay in Room 11 and will definitely be back for our one-year anniversary.
