Blood and hair found on the pillow cases on a ‘fresh’ bed. Ice cube box was visibly dirty. Very dirty floors in all corners and under every piece of furniture. Didn’t feel safe outside around the hotel. Decent breakfast though. Won’t be back.

Check in was easy and quick. The motel had nice features. But I don’t think the rings are cleaned very thoroughly. Our bathroom had a strong urine odor. They offer breakfast but the eggs were cold. Most things seemed to be still frozen, even the fresh fruit. Maybe it was just an off day. Convenient location and the attached restaurant was good.

What a wonderful stay we had here! The room was clean and had a nice mural on one wall. Beds were SO comfy! Brand new owners (as of begining of June), staff was attentive and kind. One of the owners, Ahmed went above and beyond providing superior customer service at every interaction. I was in Portland just for one night, after being in NW Maine for 2 weeks dealing with an awful situation. We needed good food and quality rest. Ahmed and other staff recommended wonderful restaurants for meals and nice areas to explore. The weather was in our favor thankfully! Uber is easy to get around anywhere you want. The restaurant right nextdoor has good quality food (totally family friendly) strong drinks, lots of locals and friendly servers. I barely missed the free breakfast because of the wonderful comfy beds, but Ahmed offered to extend for me (I declined as I woke later than I expected and had to go to the airport) Has a nice pool area, was very calm. When I come back to Portland, I know where I'm staying!!

We stayed for one night only to catch an early flight. Looking back at the pictures of the facility, it’s accurate, but when you first walk in it’s a bit shocking. There is an interesting variety of characters wander in the lobby and halls. Don’t let me forget the barking dogs. Super fun. When you get to your room just stay inside of it.

Understanding that the property is undergoing renovations we entered our floor and the hallway was lined with toilets and boxes. Our room was clean and beds were comfortable. Biggest issue is noise. There were guests yelling all evening and a major party happening on the floor above us. I called the front desk after 3 hours of excessive noise and they said they would handle it however the noise and yelling continued until 1:15am. For that reason alone I wont stay here again.
