I when I travel to southern Maine on Business during the spring, fall & winter months I always stay at Seacliff. It's conveniently located 20 minutes from Portland, quiet, right next to the beach, reasonably priced and clean. Recently I had a project that required my employees to perform work in Portland, Biddeford & Springvale, Maine and so Old Orchard Beach was a good central location for them to stay while working in the area. I called Seacliff to reserve rooms for the my employees and they would not book the rooms because I was not going to be present when they checked in, even though I was paying in full with my business credit card. I asked the reason for this and they said it was their policy because they were a small business. I have never heard of such a policy for a lodging establishment ever and have booked rooms for employees many times prior to this. Weird considering they were already into the off season. Several weeks later I was going to be working in that area with my employees and so I was able to book rooms for all of us after I assured the desk clerk that I would be showing up in person at check in. All fine and Dandy. Seacliff's parking spots are a jumble of room #s that are not in any order attempting to accommodate both first and 2nd floor rooms. The parking place for the 1st floor room I was staying in was waaaaaay down the walk and around the corner from my room entrance. I parked in front of my room instead to unload my belongings and decided to leave my car in that space while I walked the beach and then walked to a restaurant for dinner. There were plenty of empty spaces in front of the building to accommodate the FEW lodgers that were staying there on a Tuesday night in November. While I was in the middle of my meal I got a call from the motel front desk clerk informing me that I was parked in the wrong spot and I must move my car. Not nice....how about a note on the door that I would see when I returned from dinner? When I returned from dinner I had to walk around to find my room # on a parking space because they were not in order. I moved my car. That space was on such an incline I had to hold the car door open while I exited the car. I wonder how they manage this parking system in mid summer when they are full. I wonder if they are under new ownership or management and the new owners have no clue how to operate a motel.
