Everything was great except that I would like to have had an extra blanket, just for more weight, you know? Also, in one of the ads it said it said ‘oceanfront’ or ‘beachfront.’ This is wrong. This Howard Johnson’s is not even walking distance to a beach. Otherwise, as I intimated, all good.

Great staff and people. Very friendly and nice. 1) closets. If you are there for business or multiple days. No rods to hang cloths. A few hangers but not near enough put some rods in. Breakfast nice but not consistent one day no muffins. No bagels. A few
Slides of bread and 2 English muffins. Hardly anything at all. Eggs stick to container. Need a little uplift for breakfast. But just suggestions. Will continue staying there

My husband and i stayed in South Portland and we both had a nice and comfortable stay. On our last day we woke up to luke warm water in the shower which wasn't super ideal, but it was warm enough to stand under. The continental breakfast that was served was below par, at best. We went into have breakfast at 8:30 (service shuts down at 9am) and the eggs were cool and hard. The donut/bagel container was basically empty and the juice machine must have been running out because it came out as slightly flavored room temperature water. Staff were all plesant and the rooms are clean and all updated which was very nice. The indoor Pool was clean and heated which was nice.

Tired hotel. Everything felt dirty and unloved. Curtain had holes in them. Breakfast room was awful. Sticky floors and uncleaned tables. I couldn’t bring myself to eat the food. On the plus side there was plenty of parking and the restaurant next door was nice.

We were charged $517.00, for 2 rooms that is now one day later $200.00. the rooms had stains on the sheets, bathroom door did not close, toilet hardly flushed and room smelled. I requested adjoining rooms as my daughter was staying with a one year old. This request was not noted so we did not get it.

The hotel was in a great location, clean, lacking a few items such as shelves in the shower to put your soap on, shampoo etc... The doors need to have something put on them to prevent them from slamming shut, metal to metal. My wife and I would control the door from slamming. others weren't so considerate. We were up until the last door slammed shut.

Family member is the hospital and this is the easiest hotel to use. While it doesn’t have all the fancy things, it feels safe and the beds are comfy.

Shower did not work right. Could hardly turn the water off. Tv didn’t work. Killed a spider and what looked like a roach.

The rooms aren’t totally up to date like the pictures show but the beds were clean and comfy. Felt safe and our kids enjoyed the pool.

Check in was fine, the clerk was friendly, courteous and helpful. Rooms could use some updating and repairs. Bathroom was cleaned after my first night, but bed was not touched. Not sure they even vacuumed the carpet or cleaned anything else. Hotel was noisy, with kids running and screaming in the halls every night. Parents were no help, as they joined in with the screaming. This was near the open area to the lobby below, so I am sure the front desk could hear what was going on.
4.0
Second time staying here, due to family in the hospital, very convenient to go back and forth. It’s decent enough and felt safe being a solo traveler. Bed is comfortable and bathroom is clean. The wall by the window showed it had rain issues and it had other cracks and paint issues around the bathroom but again it is what it is.
4.0
There was peeled wallpaper above window & floor was sticky with weird smell in hallway. Okay for price & overnight stay. Quick check in.

Our stay was great, used the Tavern bar and grill inside hotel and it was very good, pizza was great and they offered a 10% discount. Our server was good, but busy. We waited way to long for items including our bill, but waitress was friendly and pleasant. We normally don’t eat the free breakfast, but because food was good the night before we did. Had the best ever gal, Janelle, in there to help morning visitors. She was soooo helpful to many in there and started our day off right largely due to her friendliness and service! Hotel maintenance was much needed. Our toilet made a horrible squeaking sound when flushing, tile work on floor was poorly done and collected dirt etc. paint needed in some walls and our tv wouldn’t work.

Ceiling had a water leak which stained the bedspread. Warm water only in shower. Pool water was in need of chlorine. Floor in breakfast area was so sticky that my shoes stuck to floor. Wouldn’t return.

Room was clean, but property needs serious refurbishing. Doors are peeling, repairs are needed to bathroom fooling and door jams.
Staff were excellent very considerate and polite. Property has had some quick fixes but for $216 per night and $8.00 for a bottle of water I expected better. Sheets are microfiber not cotton which are not comfortable. Doors slamming by guests late at night rooms need insulating.
Cheers to the staff, especially the young lady in the dining room.

The stay was fine, staff was nice and bed was comfortable. The hotel is older so you will see wear and tear. It was nice there was a restaurant/bar attached.

Bathroom was in poor condition - grout missing around tub; smell of urine around toilet with some urine stains along the base; toilet seat was loose floating back and forth to and fro - needs to be bolted tight.

Hotel, although a value, I’ts dated, dingy, and a bit depressing.
However, mattress was comfy, clean enough and no noise at night.

Terrible service. Past 3 nights, bed never made, didn’t clean the room. Take out trash and replaced towels only.
We hung our towels for environmental safety.
When I confront the maid manager as we’re checking, she told me that I needed to place “bed makings”. Really? Never heard of such things. We’re world travelers. I also mentioned to the Hotel manager, she’s had not aware of such order.
We were hoping, they would do the next day but never done. We gave them 3 chances.
Honestly, I’d liked to area. It’s close to everything in Portland.

My criteria may not be yours but this place has a better than average free breakfast, nice helpful staff desk & breakfast manager girl & Terrance.everything in the room WORKED , micro , fridge kuerig coffeemaker . And A REALLY perfect ( even if you’re a mid Atlantic states senior) warm enough to walk right into temp large heated indoor pool with adjoining changing room & bathroom OPEN from 7a m to 11 pm they get an A + + :). Prompt airport shuttle service, 1 block away from bus stop to Maine mall / Walmart or downtown Portland at monument square area 5 am to 9 pm ish ..senior fare $1.copperfields bar/ rest attached..they do a delic meatballs & spaghetti among other thing & have a Monday trivia, music game night ..it’s not posh but it’s got all the right elements ‘we try harder’ dependable nice , thank you for coming to stay with us in Maine we want you happy & don’t pinch Pennys style …I travel ALOT for pleasure ..I’ve been to the Very Best ..& worst x travel agent…like I said it’s not super fancy smartly decored, relatively inexpensive to an absolute bargain & the pool hrs & temp will keep me going back when I go to to Portland, me.my pix don’t come up u can use others on the web .

Room was dirty. Food on floor, bedfing stained and walls dirty. Bigest complaint was noise. First a gap around door to hallway was pretty big . You could hear every noise. Door slamming all night. Also everytime toilets above were flushed it sounded like a flood was coming int out room (loud plumbing) sleeping was impossible.

TV, microwave turned off several times? Why? Killed several bugs in and around the bathroom. Breakfast only served until 9:00. Not much positive for a $200 room.
8.0
*Breakfast was very lack luster. It got the job done, but it felt like they just prepared some old ham and box eggs and just put'em there because they had already promised a free breakfast. The cereals, toasts and spread options were okay.
*Pleasantly surprised with the room and with the staff, very friendly and competent.
*The pool looked dirty and the area didn't seem very well kept up with.
*The diner attached to the hotel had decent food, cannot complain.

Stayed 2 nights, easy check in around 1:30am. Easy check out at 11am. Only used the room. The room wasn't spotless, it had some items that could have been cleaned better. You fell into the bed and once in that was it. Hard to get out of or roll over. With what we were looking for tho, it was what it was. Shower was fine. Had a sink in the bathroom and one outside of it. That one would not open to drain the water out. Parking was either park in a huge area to use the elevator or drive around to use the stairs. Our hallway had 4 stairs in it which was weird. All in all, it was a place to shower and sleep, which is what we were looking for. The 2 people that we incountered while there were great.

The interior was dirty. There was a used band aid on the hallway carpet for 3 days! I had to get new room key twice because they stopped working. One time I walked into the lobby and just asked for a room key to room 416 and they gave me keys without asking me for my name or identification. This is not a very secure situation!
