We’ve stayed at many places over the years, and Saco Motel is by far one of the best. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made our stay feel comfortable from the start. The location is super convenient—close to everything we needed, yet still quiet and peaceful. The rooms were spotless, and the beds were exceptionally comfortable, making it easy to relax and get a good night’s sleep. It’s clear that the property is well cared for. On top of all that, it’s a great value for the quality you receive. Highly recommend Saco Motel if you're looking for a clean, quiet, and comfortable stay in Saco, Maine!

Good location, friendly and helpful staff, spotlessly clean room, comfortable bed, and a nice-sized closet with a a luggage holder. Coffee maker, microwave, and refrigerator in room was appreciated. And nice little touches like a small shelf for toiletries above the bathroom sink.

Not a complaint, because I knew in booking that it was on a busy highway. But good if one has a small travel fan (which we had) or white noise machine, to help lessen the noise from outside traffic.

Stayed here for a business trip to Portland. A little far away but a more affordable option at the time of year. Like the old school vibe. Room and property were in good condition. A good option for those on a budget.

The man in the next room was very loud in the wee hours of the morning. Normally this would just be random bad luck staying in a motel, BUT it appeared that he was living in the room and so it's likely not an isolated incident and it would be nice if the management would do something about the noise.

We enjoyed our stay immensely at the Saco Motel. The reception was equipped with coffee and tea, fresh fruit and morning pastries. The outdoor pool and sun chairs were clean and there were two parasols for shade. Our room had everything we needed, comfortable bed and pillows, lots of fresh towels, makeup remover pads, soap and shampoo. Bring your hair dryer if you use one. The staff were magnificent. We strongly suggest staying here if you’ll be in Old Orchard. It’s only 3 minutes to the beach.

We loved absolutely everything about the property.

This place works to provide above and beyond service. Excellent communication. Bed are comfortable, rooms are clean and there is a pool that is well maintained. If we are ever in the are again this is where we will stay. The rooms are not super big but as expected for a motel. Each room gets it's own parking spot right outside their door.

Nothing

The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-kept, offering everything you need for a short stay. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making the check-in process quick and easy. Excellent value for money, you get a cozy and convenient place to rest at a very fair price.

maybe the location is not a top choice, but definitively not a problem

A lovely motel, in a nice town. We really enjoyed our visit. The rooms were spotless clean, bed very comfortable, had everything we needed including coffee making facilities, TV and good wifi. The reception staff were very friendly and offered advice about places to eat in the area. There was no shortage of eateries in walking distance. We would certainly stay again and recommend for anyone wishing to stay in the area.

What did I like, quoth thee? Easy to answer--easy check in/out, good location, the rooms were refurbished from the original circa 1960 first Motel. The furniture was solid and basic and useful. It was a bit over filled, you had to 'dance' between the bed edge and the fridge, but NO complaint of it. The door lock was the basic dead bolt with a REAL METAL KEY! no ^^%%%**magnetic key card. I hate these, they work sometimes, sometimes you stand in the rain for X minutes trying to get it to work. The bed was CLEAN and comfortable. The paint was on the new side, the plumbing was 'out of date' but USEFUL, the most important detail. A grab bar to the shower would be a good addition. The entire hotel shows care, attention to details, well paved and painted room numbers in each parking slot, great idea! Also, they offered outdoor chairs, for the right season. This is a HUGE improvement to some Hotel 6 motels I have stayed at. Some of them are also homeless shelters of some species. And that brings its train of evils. Some Hotel 6 motels were in an Industrial park! I no longer make longer trips that require a motel stay. And when I did on this occasion, I knew where I wanted to stay. The Saco Motel was the place I began my working life; as a teen-ager circa 1966.

What did I not like? I have to THINK about that------ahh, a tiny two items. One the short abrupt up step from side walk into the room{its thus, if I recall aright, to allow for underfloor plumbing}. So, if you are incautious, you will stumble. I have limited mobility, and its a 'trick' to get out the narrow door with luggage, with the drop down. And a grab rail to the shower and the toilet wall would be an improvement, espc with the low toilet height. But it WAS not a 'make or break' issue.

Clean and affordable. Staff were friendly. On a main road so close proximity to dining, pharmacy (Walgreens), ice cream and other local attractions was convenient. We drove in a day early and only stayed one night so to sleep one night it was fine.

Room was on the smaller side for 4 people but we stayed one night so it was fine.

Everything!! Stayed here in June of 2015 for leisure with family. Wonderful stay. Saw new pictures of Saco Motel July 2025 and just had to stay August 17 to 18. Very nice staff and beautiful motel! So glad to see it has been fixed up so beautifully. We will definitely stay here again in the future. Thank you all.

Nothing!!
