    Go for the deck, music and drinks. Maybe fried food. Skip anything other than that. Server was nice. Not much on tap which was surprising.

    Rum Bucket

    The Brunswick is our favorite hang in OOB when we visit. The beach front spot, the live music, the attentive wait and bar staff, it all makes for a fun afternoon. We hadn't been up north for a while so it was nice to stop by this past weekend. We got our people watching fix, heavy pours and great tunes. While we usually don't grab food we did order some bacon wrapped scallops and fries. The fries aren't anything special, just crinkle style. The scallops were fantastic, huge pieces well flavored, came out hot and with a tangy mustard based sauce. We grabbed some bucket drinks as tourists do, full of rum and very tasty. Can't wait to come back

    look at the view of the moon! its breathtaking

    Can we do a private anniversary dinner on the beach in?

    My thought is probably not at The Brunswick. You should call. Another idea would be a beautiful, delicious charcuterie board. Call Red Door Market on Saco Ave. Impressive.

Because we booked last minute and decided to stay one more day, we ended up having to change rooms, so we were able to compare them. Both were spotlessly clean. So clean, I had to take a photo of the tub in the bathroom, I have NEVER seen a tub/shower in an older motel with a bathroom this sparkling clean, I mean....not a single dark spot from mold or mildew anywhere in either bathroom. Our beds were comfy, the little AC unit cooled our room nicely, and the staff was very nice as well. We will absolutely return! Thanks for a wonderful stay.

We stayed in the sandcastle suite 7 on the top floor and had a perfect view of the ocean. Only steps to the beach, you can't beat the location! The suite was clean and spacious. My only complaint would be that the pullout sofa was pretty uncomfortable but the kids didn't seem to mind. Office staff was super friendly and accommodating! I'm not sure if it was due to Covid but they do not offer housekeeping during your stay so just an FYI. However they were more than willing to swap out beach towels and bath towels as often as we needed. We will Absolutley be back! And do yourself a favor and venture out for dinners - the Landmark restaurant right across from this hotel is the only good spot to eat in OOB. The rest are tourist traps And some are downright gross. Drive 10-20 minutes to Scarborough or Portland for some amazing food

Was also going to make a weekend of it for the three of us. AOS was perfect! Just off the beaten path from the center of OOB and activities, but also only a few minutes walk to all of it. Very clean and updated suite. Very comfortable, had a kitchen, separate bedroom, and seating area. Would be great for an extended stay, though we are only there two nights. The manager was EXTREMELY helpful and friendly - even accommodating us on our late check in. She asked we simply knock on her door when we got in (even if it meant waking her). We also could check ourselves in and do paperwork the next day if necessary. I would definitely return, and bring the family. Great stay!

    While I wouldn't discourage anyone from staying at the Grand Victorian I don't think I'd return…read morehence the 2 stars. Apparently it is the nicest (& most expensive) property to stay at in Old Orchard Beach but it's not managed well at all. The biggest problem with the Grand Victorian is also its biggest draw: the location. Yes, you are in the heart of downtown OOB which may be convenient but there is an awful noise problem. We checked in on a Saturday night & couldn't fall asleep until well after 2am. The noise from the bar across the street seemed like the cover band was playing in the room next door not to mention every drunk idiot causing a ruckus. And to make matters worse it seemed like the Amtrack train was going by almost hourly after the bar noise subsided. It did get better as the week went on but that first night was brutal. And every attendant was barely drinking age. Most of the kids who worked there weren't really professional & shouldn't have picked hospitality as their careers. There were two guys there who were always friendly & helpful but for the most part the staff weren't that great. You'd think they'd have an awesome outdoor pool since the property is so new & expensive but no. There is a pool BUT it's indoors & not heated. We used it once & figured out why it seemed to go unused. There was free WiFi but it was so spotty that it seemed like a dial up connection most of the time. Plus our family has Sprint which is useless to begin with. We managed to have a good time despite these shortcomings. When you're paying top dollar you expect little things to matter. The rooms were spacious & clean pretty much. I wish they offered grills so we could've used them to cook instead of going out to eat so much. It is a decent property but overpriced for what you end up getting. It wasn't too family friendly with all the noise of OOB but if you don't care about the price & like to party the Grand Victorian really isn't that bad. Just bring ear plugs!

We were literally on the beach. The house was built in the 1890s and it is beautiful! It does have updates to it since then but you don't lose a bit of the charm. We stayed in the old inn keepers room on the main floor, and it had its own bathroom. Our room had a window AC unit and it's own mini fridge as well as a ceiling fan. I do think it needs more outlets but we just used one in the bathroom. They provide you with bath towels, fresh beach towels everyday, washcloths, face towels and bath mats. Resa is the manager their and was absolutely wonderful. She cooked delicious breakfasts and is available if you need anything. One day we had avocado toast, scrambled eggs, fresh baked blueberry buckle, blueberry corn muffins, and chocolate oatmeal protein cookies. Various breads, bagels, and English muffins are available as well as butter, peanut butter, and jelly. There is always coffee, tea, and water and ice on hand. In addition to breakfast the house has a whole closet FULL of board games and activities to play if you find yourself inside for an afternoon storm. There is plenty of common areas to hang out and do a puzzle or play a game. The house also has plenty of beach items for you to use including beach chairs, umbrellas, footballs, volleyballs, sand toys, bikes, helmets, and various other things. You do need to park on the street, but there was ample parking and you don't really have to move your car that often because there is so much within walking distance. Overall I couldn't speak highly enough about our stay. Consider us new regulars.

So glad we did! We stayed in room #12 with a king size bed with plenty of cozy layers to keep us warm during the chilly early September nights. The whole house was beautifully clean, warm and welcoming. It's literally a stones throw from the beach and where we all sit once we are there, so we got out of walking the mile back to the other house our friends rent. Also, the breakfast served in the morning was delicious! Homemade bread, mini egg and ham burritos and plenty of coffee, tea and OJ. I was in heaven! Not to mention, the sub shop is across the street, so anything you need is within arms reach. We will most definitely be back again next year! Even though our room had a great view of the beach, we might try for a different room just to see what they're all like. Very happy with our stay! Resa, who was the lady in charge when we were there, is super nice!
