Repeat guest here. We have always had a wonderful experience at the Atlantic. Rooms are clean and updated. Staff are always pleasant and easy to deal with. Love sitting out on the balcony sipping coffee or a cocktail watching the ocean! Sunrise is spectacular! read more

Great housekeeping and friendly staff. We love that we can just walk out of the room and we are at the pool or turn and go down the stairs to the beach. Our favorite place to stay in Maine! read more

The location is right on the beach! It is overpriced for the accommodation but if you want beach access and a great view this is the place! Outdated, no elevator but that is something they tell you when you make your reservation! read more

The hotel is very clean and convenient. However, pictures and description are very misleading and on the verge of deceitful. There is no access directly to the beach from the bottom rooms. The 2nd and 3rd floors only have a few with balcony views of the ocean the rest only have views of the pool. The first floor view to the beach is through high windows in the room. For the price it was just less than what we expected. The rooms are very clean and look freshly redone and the staff all appeared helpful. read more

Atlantic Oceanfront Motel - Back access to the beach. - Hotels Near Me - Wells, Maine

The motel was across the main road and down quite aways to walk before you ever saw beach. The pics of coming out the hotel stairs and being on the beach, with no need to go anywhere, was misleading, false advertising and disappointing Never again read more

We found this location after seeking lodging near Ogunquit and realized their pricing was considerably better than some other places we stayed, yet still right on the beach! We had a corner king room looking right at the beach. I was excited to drink my coffee on the balcony only to find the weather was not in our favor. Still, I was able to enjoy it at the big sliding windows in the room. We had turned on the fridge in the room to use it only to soon turn it off because it was so very noisy. I didn't use the shower at all because there is no heat in the bathroom and the floor (being right over the parking garage) was extremely cold. It just wasn't worth it but it means I can't comment on water pressure or anything else. It was a very comfortable bed and a nice, serviceable room. Bonus that the hand sink is outside the toilet/shower area. Wifi was no trouble for us and easy to connect to. Staff was very pleasant. The folks who stayed above us were not so pleasant and made a ton of noise very late at night (music, partying, etc). That's no fault of the staff or motel but was very frustrating in a nearly empty motel. If you have a tall SUV, you may want to park outside instead of in the garage. Though it's really great they do have plenty of parking figured out for being in such a congested area. It was so nice to be able to hop right down onto the beach from outside our room. We'll be back for sure, this is an excellent location. read more

We had an ocean facing room that was beautiful and easy access to the beach or pool. Staff was very friendly. Lots of good restaurants nearby. read more

We stayed 2 nights in a ground floor Queen bed room. There was no balcony but we did have a wonderful large window looking directly onto the beach. There was a welcoming high top table and chairs right next to the window that provided many moments of watching the lovely ocean and beach walking, playing people. The room was small, but all we needed. It had a small fridge, Keurig coffee maker and supplies, a small closet, a lovely sink and vanity corner and a small bathroom with a nice shower. Towels were fresh, the bed was very comfy. There was an iron and board, a broom for sweeping out sand and laundry baskets if one needed to have clothes laundered. When we first entered -with an actual real key!- we kind of wondered about entering our room area through the garage, but no matter since we were delighted with the room. It's on a small hallway and the other door opens to the public walkway to the beach, very nice. And speaking of the garage, the onsite parking is wonderful. The Atlantic's location is perfect, a short walk to the nice little shops and of course the wonderful, historic Forbes! It's just off the Mile Road, so convenient. The Hotel staff were friendly and helpful. We didn't use the pool but it looks very nice. Lastly, the ground level room was good since there are no elevators - worked better for us with our suitcases. We loved our little birds-eye right-on-the-beach view room. read more

This was a very nice place to stay and right on the beach. The staff was very friendly and helpful - we appreciate the assistance after arriving well past closing hours. Very clean and close to restaurants within walking distance. Enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and proximity to other cities. Would highly recommend! read more

Pros: -Great location right on the beach. You literally descend the flight of stairs onto the beach. Recommend getting the room with the ocean facing balconies -Clean (especially useful in Covid times) -Fridge & microwave, coffee maker in room -Beds fairly comfortable Average: -Wifi is free, but at evening there was some buffering issues with youtube -the room was a little pricey for Maine/ type of hotel, but not terrible given the view Cons: -there are not many restaurants/ food options within walking distance. Most likely you will need to drive -parking spots in the underground lot are definitely on the tight side. An SUV will take almost a full spot, so I'm guessing very easy to get a ding. Recommend bringing a small car or a beater. The uncovered lot is better but there are limited spots I will stay here again if I return to the area read more

Atlantic Oceanfront Motel - Sunrise from the balcony - Hotels Near Me - Wells, Maine

We stayed in the king corner, balcony room. The sunrise was beautiful, which was the main reason for staying in this room. It did not disappoint. What was disappointing was the shower experience. There was no showerhead? When I called to complain about it she said it had been that way for 35 years, that's what it's supposed to look like, and no one had ever complained before. I find all of that hard to believe. It would take $20 put in a decent showerhead that somebody wouldn't complain about. We were also told, upon checking in, the room had been totally remodeled and renovated two years ago. So they chose to renovate this room, but not take care of the showerhead? The room is clean and comfortable enough... The shower experience was an F-. read more

Atlantic Oceanfront Motel - Shower head - Hotels Near Me - Wells, Maine

The location can't be beat. On a gorgeous, huge sandy beach. Ocean facing rooms allow you to listen to waves as you fall asleep. Short walk to smoothie place, breakfast/lunch spots, few little shops and an arcade. Gives a very old school vacation vibe where kids can walk up to shop for candy/soda. Very kid friendly. We were with teens but still great. 15 minutes to Kennebunkport and 15 minutes to Ogunquit. We went to both for great shops and restaurants. Wells is a more casual, laid back vibe which we enjoyed. Jean shorts and t-shirts type place which is nice for a chill vacation. You're down the street from Hannafords which was convenient. Billy's Chowder House is a great spot down the street from hotel. Beautiful view, great food/drinks. Congdon Donuts was a nice stop down street as well. Rooms are very clean and service is awesome. It's not "fancy" so if that's what you're after, then probably not for you. If you want to roll out of bed, walk and get coffee and then lounge on gorgeous beach, this is a YES. It's a little pricey for level of hotel but it's summer and on beach. Reason for 4/5 stars is lots of stairs to third floor but we liked view so worth it. Pool is small but kids seemed to love it. Parking is tight and they let you know that. Despite telling people not to bring big SUVs/trucks, people do and it makes it hard getting in and out. Not impossible but you need to be patient and do like a 20 point turn. No hooks in bathroom to hang your clothes for changing into. We would definitely come back as the beach and location are perfect. read more

Great place! We used to be regulars at Lafayettes, but we found the Atlantic Oceanfront to be better. Hotel was updated recently with high quality materials and great craftsmanship. Nice to see they didn't cheap out like other places. Ownership pride and effort show everywhere. We have a new favorite in Wells. read more

This place was great! The room was up to date and clean, the staff at the front desk were helpful and friendly, and the sunrises were incredible! My husband and I had the corner king suite. read more

Very clean motel with fantastic service. Very accommodating from manager to receptionist

Lovely hotel. Very clean with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful location and nice clean rooms. Workers and front desk were very pleasant and aim to please. Lots of great food and treats within walking distance or a short drive away. The only negative thing I could say is that check in is at 3:00 and they will not accommodate you if you arrive early. No restroom or changing area for you if you arrive early. For $500 a night, the least they could do is allow you to use their bathroom and let you change somewhere so you can enjoy the beach and not waste a day or your vacation! read more

This is our favorite place to stay Oceanside in Wells! Nice clean rooms, friendly staff!

Given this 4 stars/good, because of the location right on the beach with soothing ocean waves to lull you to sleep. Not a fan of the 3 flights of stairs, but no biggy. Staff were very kind to extend our checkout time by an hour to allow my husband to complete a work meeting. Very clean, but the beds in MHO need updating, very noisy box springs and the mattresses weren't comfortable despite what other people may say. I know that's subjective, but having slept in many hotels, these beds aren't the best. Had they been better, our stay would have been so much more enjoyable. Nice pool area on second floor. read more

Had to walk up 3 flights of stairs with our luggage. The room was adequate. Mostly importantly, the bed was comfortable. They do not offer breakfast of any type, but at least we found a room. read more

Great spot...very, very clean hotel. Pride of ownership shows. There are not many spots like this left on the East Coast shoreline.

Awesome hotel! My family used to stay here years ago under their previous name and I decided to go back for some nostalgia. The motel did not disappoint! It's right on the beach so you can wake up in the morning to the sound of the ocean. The rooms are super comfy as well. Cannot wait to return next year!!! read more

If I could give this hotel more than 5 stars I would. We stopped in and asked if we could see a room, the lady at the desk didn't hesitate in letting us do that. We checked the room out, it was just right. Clean and comfortable. Our room overlooked the ocean and the view was what sold us on paying the amount that we did. Which is not horrible for what you get. Not many people in the hotel at the time we were there which is ok by me. Saturday night the people above us were heavy on their feet but luckily they claimed down early. The owners (I think they were the owners) and the staff were so friendly and polite. Keep a clean hotel for sure. I'd go here again!! read more

Atlantic Oceanfront Motel - Who would say. I thanks to this room? Not me! - Hotels Near Me - Wells, Maine

Got a last minute deal on booking.com for this oceanfront/beachfront property. Quick walk into town. Downside - no elevator and we were on the top floor. Also the internet wasn't working. Other than that no complaints. Room was clean. Daytime staff was lovely. Would stay again. read more

This place is a gem. Are you thinking of staying here? Go for it! It's nothing fancy, no food options, no bar, but you can get an oceanfront balcony room for, even in high season, a reasonable price. At high tide, the ocean is almost right under your balcony. The beach is beautiful, and relatively quiet compared to nearby beach towns. The pool is nice, my son spends most of his time there or at the local arcade. Check-in and check-out are easy, everyone is friendly, and you'll feel relaxed by the sound of those waves in no time at all. read more

Last minute fathers day overnight stay for me and my husband. We saw a special online discount and got a king room with sofa facing the pool. The room was clean, front office staff friendly and pool was nice. The room above ours was noisy so next time maybe we would try a top floor room, but overall good experience. read more

The Atlantic Oceanfront Motel in Wells is such a great place to stay. Last year my bffl and I stayed there for her birthday - it was our first time there. HOW DID I GO THIS LONG WITHOUT KNOWING ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL PLACE? The prices (especially off-season) are so reasonable we went back there a couple of weeks ago and had another great experience. I mean - the place is right on the beach so what's NOT to love? The rooms are clean and a good size and the bath products smell wonderful - BONUS! It's within walking distance of some cute touristy shops and restaurants (if that's your thing) and it's at the end of Mile Road so it's away from the main street of Wells, directly on Wells Beach. It's in a fun beachy spot of ocean paradise. Dude - just go there. You will be sooo glad you did! read more

We have been coming to Wells Beach since childhood. For years we stayed elsewhere, having not found The Atlantic Oceanfront Motel at the time. Now that we have we wouldn't stay anywhere else! Location, location, location! Step directly from the motel onto the sand. We've never come in season to take advantage of the pool but it's newly renovated and looks great. The staff is very friendly ( family owned/run) the rooms aren't fancy, although updated w granite vanities, entry/bath tiles and new carpet, but they are quite neat and clean. The frig and microwave are nice for leftovers and simple in room breakfast. We have stayed in a variety of room types, primo balcony oceanfront to lesser but still nice poolside suite. Although the suite is side facing, a large picture window w side windows that open allow for decent ocean views and sound. The balcony is worth the jump in price by far! To take in a 180 degree view of the beautiful ocean and beach from the comfort of your bed! Yes please :) Have no hesitations to stay at this motel. It is a little gem to treasure! read more

We stayed there a week ago. It's a nice place close to everything. Check out your rooms in advance, location in some bldgs leaves a lot to be desired. Our first room ceiling tiles were water stained (disgusting). Maintain changed them out. Should have noticed sooner. Housekeeping left used lotion bottle. We were relocated to a two room suite (at a discounted price). All in All a good experience, thanks to Brad. read more
