This is my home away from home and I look forward to staying there every year. I’m steps from the beach and can walk downtown in the evening. The rooms are nice, some better than others, but the overall atmosphere is just what I want- beachy!

One of my dreams came true when my sister and I stayed here in October - we had a room with a balcony almost right on the Atlantic Ocean. We could see and hear the pounding surf from our room! I had the most amazing rest that night.

What a fantastic place to stay. Right on the beach! I mean, the beach was literally right outside my door. Clean rooms, comfortable beds, and great pillows! Don't underestimate the value of good pillows. Breakfast was also really really good. You won't be disappointed, just book it. And I recommend getting oceanfront of it's available.

Jessica, front desk, and staff in the cafe, Missy, very friendly and helpful on local places to go and things to do. We were there in the off season so many things were closed, but Jessica helped us with ideas to help make our stay even more enjoyable. The location is beautiful with gorgeous sunrises and we were blessed with a full moon rising over the ocean, too. LL Bean, Portland, and Booths Bay, as well as all of the small towns south of OOB are easily accessible from there for a day trip.We will continue to stay at the Alouette on our yearly, or more, visits to Maine. Thanks Jessica for always being that friendly voice and face that make it a great location for your get away.

GREAT FUN, STEPS TO THE BEACH!

September 12, 2011

My husband, myself and our family dog made the trip and fell in love with staying at Alouette. The room we had was just steps to the beach and though it was the busy season we always had plenty of room outside of our room for sitting also. The room was clean and we had a whole kitchenette for drinks and munchies. The staff was wonderful help and would schedule cleaning when we weren’t there. The restaurant had wonderful breakfasts, pizza and burgers and dogs. They also grilled at the beach for lunch time. The beach is dog friendly, and our little guy made lots of new friends of other dogs and everyone was wonderful about keeping the beach clean. Short walk to the Pier where there are plenty of other restaurants, cold beer, stores and Pier Fries and fried Oreos for enjoyment. There’s also a theme park with rides, it’s like a throwback to another era. The best R&R and it was fun being a kid again! We will definitely be back!!(2011 TripAdvisor, Inc. All rights reserved.)

WE’VE STAYED SEVERAL TIMES AND IT’S NOW OUR FAVORITE PLACE IN OOB

September 10, 2011

We’ve been visiting Old Orchard Beach for almost 40 years, and The Alouette is now our favorite place to stay. The owner, his wife, and staff are friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The service is excellent; they respond quickly and cheerfully with any request. We’ve stayed in both a suite and a cottage and they are both clean and charming in their own special way. The location is beautiful; very close to the beach. The indoor pool is an added attraction; it’s a hidden gem. We’ve been there in the fall, winter, and summer. All amenities are more than satisfactory. They have a little restaurant and the breakfasts we ate there were fantastic. We love having our own little kitchen so we can cook on the days we don’t dine out. What we like best is that it’s like a home away from home…what we like least is leaving.(2011 TripAdvisor, Inc.

VERY NICE HOTEL

September 2, 2011

I stayed in room 10 with the family. Has a nice porch overlooking the ocean. The room was typical for the beach. The owner Fred and his wife are always around and are sooo freindly. They have a small restarant and the food is pretty good with an average cost. The beach is literally 10 feet from the hotel. The pier is a little bit of a walk but not too far. I have stayed there the last 4 years and will never go anywhere else at OOB.(2011 TripAdvisor, Inc. All rights reserved.) September 2, 2011

PERFECT GETAWAY

August 14, 2011

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights and it was absolutely perfect. Right on the beach, and close to everything. We didn’t want to stay super close to the amusement park and shopping areas but did want them in walking distance. This was absolutely perfect. The room was very clean and the staff was excellent. I can’t wait to come back again next year and stay for a few more nights!!(2011 TripAdvisor, Inc. All rights reserved.) August 14, 2011
