Eric’s one night in Portland

Nice motel in the charming town of Portland. Front desk gentleman was very friendly and greeted us on arrival. The BBQ came in handy and the room was well equipped with everything we needed. The area was surprisingly quiet. I suggest they include little toiletries like soap and body lotion.

The location was great. The accommodation was okay. The light in the shower kept on turning off and you had to get out of the shower for the motion sensor to detect you and for it to turn on. The most annoying thing if you are taking a shower in the night. The location of the lodge is great.

The motel was lovely, very tastefully decorated & very clean. The bed was soft and we kept rolling into each other. The motel is a bit of a walk into town. We were welcomed with a big smile & friendly chatter.
