The manager, Dave, is very nice & helpful. But the room we had was very small...too much furniture crammed into too small of a space. It smelled a little bit musty also and we found la cucaracha (cockroach) in the bathroom. I think I'd pay a little bit more and stay somewhere else next time.

Stayed in cabin #6. It is a nice, well-maintained cabin with wood paneling, period furniture (old but in good condition), nice bed and full kitchen. The shower looked new and was very nice. The cabin was clean, and since it is located behind the motel and away from the road, it is quiet. The cabins are surrounded by trees, and... More

We picked this hotel because it was recommended by members of our family who were attending a wedding nearby. Everything bad you have read is true! The management is less than interested, the furniture is from the 50's, there is a strange smell but the worst thing is the filthy bathroom. Black mold everywhere and broken tiles. (see pictures) We... More

We stayed here for 2 nights for a friend's wedding in area. As a single mom traveling with 2 small children, I am sometimes a little nervous staying in unfamiliar places, but I felt safe at the Pride motel. The staff were very friendly and accomodating. Good price too! I would stay there again if we are in the area.

Stayed during super peak season in Old Orchard Beach area, July 27-30, 2012 in a 1 queen bed room (#12). Motel owners are very friendly. Dave offered us a free cot bed for the 3rd member of our family. They was fully booked, no other room available. Compares to other motels. This one is above average.

This is our first trip to old orchard beach. We came with two other families. The kids ages ranged from four months to thirteen. The rooms were basic, what you would expect in a motel. Rooms were clean, overly deodorized though. It was very quiet. The kids loved the pool. We will probably stay here again next year.

We stayed here for a couple nights in July. We stayed in Room 10 next to the greenhouse. The cottages were old but well kept and very clean. They were far enough off the road not to be bothered by road noise. The price was good and we even had a furnished kitchen! Nice swimming pool and friendly staff. Highly... More

My wife and I stayed at Pride last year because it was so highly rated on TripAdvisor. We had a wonderful experience staying in our cottage and were looking forward to returning this year. While we were a bit skeptical because of new ownership, we continued to be impressed with the great customer service. In a nutshell, the landscaping is... More

If you are looking for a quiet peaceful and clean place at an affordable price look no further you just found it. Front desk, housekeeping employees and owner were very polite and courteous. Facilities and grounds are extremely well maintained. This place beside being environmentally friendly has picnic tables, gazebo, pool table, indoor swimming pools to name just a few.... More

If you're looking for a generic hotel room whose windows hardly open and looks the same as every other chain hotel room in the country, don't stay at Pride! Pride had personality and charm that you don't find too much these days; no shock that you can find it in Maine! My husband and I stayed in cabin #6 for... More
