The room was perfect for two. If you’re a bigger person like my boyfriend and I, you might find the bathroom and shower a little small. Having our car right next to the unit was very helpful. Staff was super kind and helpful the entire time. Whitney and Nori were a hoot to chat with and get to know! I have stayed at the Echo rental beach houses with family and friends, at the motel with just my mom and my sister, and now as an adult with just me and my boyfriend. This little space they have curated for vacationers is just perfect.

Close to the beach, super clean rooms and property. Staff was so friendly and accommodating. The lady at the desk was so friendly and kind.. I wish I had gotten her name!

Whitney in the front office was awesome! We got in a little bit early and she made sure our room was ready for us. She and the staff were always very friendly. She even remembered that my daughter was graduating and congratulated her when she saw her. She’s so sweet. I just think Whitney made the whole experience even better!

The kitchen in the unit was just what we needed. Plenty of space with a table, two chairs and a full-size fridge. Our teenage son came with us so having the 1/2 wall divider in between the two queen beds gave him some privacy. We had a few cold days with rain and a few hot days with humidity. The heat and air worked perfectly.

This is the quiet side of Grand Avenue and the beach was just steps away.

Would definitely stay here again. The rooms definitely have a beachy vibe.

We were a very short distance to the beach! It was incredible. Only issue was a man snored so loud, I think he kept a few of us up half the night . Lol I would recommend to friends and family! I forgot to leave a tip but will make up for it next year! Thank for a really great place to stay and safe. Until next time. Laura

Best location in OOB

The location was ideal. Just steps away from the beach. The employees were all super helpful and accommodating. The housekeeping staff was amazing and provided daily visits to switch out towels and take out trash. Would highly recommend. The only inconvenience we experienced was having to park our cars across the street in very tight spaces.

It's a motel on the beach side of OOB. There are many others like it that I've stayed at. This place is OK - had a room for 3 with double and 2 twins. No couch - we had to sit on double bed to watch tv. Parking for 1 car only - real pain if you have 2 cars for overnight parking. Not any options! Had to beg for a spot but they did get me one thankfully. Liked the shared patio with table - pool is small - no beach view.

Let me first qualify that I am partially disabled and further that I made no inquiries or formal requests regarding the accessibility of the unit. On day one of five, another guest was parked in our reserved space not in the primary lot immediately located at the bottom of the stairs. but rather across the Main Street behind another building. On the first days, the caring staff allowed us to park in another space in the main lot. This was greatly appreciated. So, we felt welcome and. like the staff went out of their way to assist us and make sure we were as comfortable as possible. If I had the trip to do again, I am confident that the staff would have done everything they could to put us in a first floor room with an assigned space in the main lot. So while I feel it could have been slightly more convenient, I accept full responsibility

Great location!

It was the perfect location for our 4th of July vacay. The beds were comfortable and clean. The kitchen and bathroom were on the small side but it served its purpose. Our room had AC but we only used at bedtime as we liked the fresh ocean air during the day. The motel is conveniently located on the beach (2 properties backed) with easy access. Each room had its own parking spot which is a plus! The only downside is the train track which does get a bit load when one is passing through. It’s all along OOB and is unavoidable unless you stay in one of those high rise apartment buildings. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place and we would definitely book this place again!

Solo Beach Stay

Close to the beach, quiet and simple for a great off season stay. Would be nice to walk to places if they were open, but it seems everything closes down right around Labor Day. For the price, you can’t complain. Personal parking spot, 1 minute walk to the beach and had plenty of amenities. Would definitely plan to cook some mornings for breakfast and make myself coffee the next time I stayed here rather than venture out for those things. Close to Portland and Biddeford, plenty of great beer and food around!

Upon entering that carpet was old, dirty and stiff. They had a futon that was old and decrepit. The kitchen facilities were very small. The stove was covered with the dirty aluminum foil. The sink in the kitchen kept plugging up. The bathroom was big enough for a toddler, the shower was so small you couldn’t turn around the toilet was so close to the sink. It was hard to stand up. The pool was so small. It was big enough to hold five people at one time. The pictures online were extremely deceiving and I will never go through Expedia again. This whole vacation was absolutely useless after what I paid for the room at night I was so disappointed. We actually ended up leaving a day earlier, so so disappointed

Great location, but paper thin walls

This hotel is located right by the beach and near the pier, which is convenient. They offer a parking spot dedicated to your room, which is awesome. The biggest complaint we have is how thin the walls and ceiling are. We were woken up at all hours by our upstairs and side neighbors, even though we slept with a fan and AC on. I can't blame the motel for inconsiderate guests, but it wouldn't have been an issue if the walls were thicker.

Local, Family owned business.
Sam was super nice and accommodating. We forgot our beach towels and he grabbed a pair from home to loan us. Unreal… Can’t make this up! Thank you Sam.

While the bathroom was snug, the actual room and kitchen are perfect. And most importantly: CLEAN.

The rooms worked for us as the focus of our trip was Portland. We drove into the city for brunch, did some sightseeing and came back to recharge at the beach, then went back to Portland for a late dinner.

If you’re visiting and plan to be on the move and want the best of both worlds, this place is perfect. So much so, my experience at Echo has redefined ‘Motel’.

Amenities:
Less then a 1 min walk from the beach (about 30 yards).
Kid friendly.
Heated pool.
Reserved parking.
Kitchenette (includes utensils).
Walking distance from Old Orchard Pier (7 min walk).
Downtown Portland (25 min drive).
Portland Head Light (30 min drive).

Will be returning later this summer to celebrate my Daughters 5th birthday!

Wonderful Stay in May

Our 7-day stay at the Echo Motel was wonderful! Julie & Sam were wonderful hosts and constantly checked in to make sure we were comfortable. Our room was lovely - newly renovated and super clean. The beds were very comfortable. We loved the little kitchen which made our stay so convenient. The beach is just steps away which we thoroughly enjoyed. We took some road trips to Portland, Freeport, and Kennebunkport as we were so centrally placed to visit them. We will be back!
