This motel needs an update/renovation; most of the internal decor was weathered and outdated. The lobby area wasn’t what I’d call welcoming- it felt like (I’d imagine) intake at a prison. The desk attendant was neither good nor bad, he did the job fine. The elevator had buttons that sometimes lit up when pressed, and it was old and creaky, giving no one piece of mind. The hallways had a stale smell of … people? The room followed suit: The bathroom was clean but the tub had cracks, the toilet needed to be replaced as it was missing lid screw caps (thought it did function properly.) The sink had two inconvenient speeds: dribble and fire hose, with its drain hole missing a stopper. The one wall hook was installed upside down so we couldn’t hang anything on it. The light/fan in the bathroom was so loud we avoided using it when possible. One of the “amenities” was free local calls, which we could not take advantage of because the telephone wasn’t connected to the wall. There was no cord. It was kind of hilarious. Some of the lights didn’t work, but the ones that did gave off a stark white light that was more annoying than a bug zapper, so we used the television for room lighting. Most of the channels on the tv were not clear due to a weak DishTV satellite connection. The beds were clean, mattresses were a little worn/soft, but honestly I’ve encountered worse. Overall, the Motel 6 Portland just needs a makeover, and it really isn’t even worth the low price.

Staff got me checked in early which I REALLY needed. That made it easier to overlook the unvacuumed hallway and housekeeper bickering loudly with a supervisor? Maintenance guy? Unsure. And : Your pipes are really loud. Like, VERY. Any time anyone flushes. There must be a better way. Rm 226.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Our check-in experience was very disappointing — the front desk staff member was extremely rude. Unfortunately, things only got worse from there. The room had a strong, unpleasant odor and was visibly dirty, with hair and grime on the floor. The sheets were clearly not clean and also had hair in them. There was even a large reddish-brown stain on the wall that looked like it could have been blood. We had booked three nights but could not stay after seeing the condition of the room. We checked in around 10:30 PM and checked out by 8 AM the next morning. The staff assured us they would notify Hotels.com so we could receive a credit, but that never happened. In the end, we paid nearly $500 for ten awful hours. I understand the saying “you get what you pay for,” but this experience was far below what anyone should expect at any price.

If I could give no stars I would. We checked in and everything in the bathroom was wet and dripping water from the ceiling. We went down and reported it and after hearing they had no rooms we were given another room on the same floor, we walked in that one and the shower was all wet from the same dripping ceiling. Went down again and were told he had no other rooms and we’d have to go someplace else!!! We did, but being the same night that cost us more than double!!

When I arrived, they told me the reservation had been cancelled. I didn't cancel it. Because this is Maine Marathon Weekend and the peak of leaf-peeping, there were no other reservations in the city to be had. We drove 2 hours home, and will drive 2 hours tomorrow morning to run the marathon. Terrible experience. And no explanation.

Staff was very friendly. Unfortunately had to be moved 3 times due to the first room not being clean. Upon arrival there were no bath towels, toe nail clippings in bathroom floor, surface was sticky, and what looked to be blood stains on the sheets. The second room we were moved to had hair in the sheets and stickiness on the bedside tables, TV remote also was on and off and wasn’t always working. Eventually we were moved to the third room and though this was the cleanest there was still trash and nut crumbs right in the door as you enter and some small trash in the bathroom. The AC felt great after a long day of exploring, staff was friendly, but unfortunately felt very uncomfortable staying here not knowing what was and wasn't clean.

Very unkempt, particularly dirty bathroom, floors sticky. It appears that there was cat spray/pee on the wall of the bathroom- the smell was awful. Hallways/elevator needed vaccuumed. Lights in the room were way to bright. Seemed to be a crowd hanging around the lobby/common areas. If we hadn't been driving all day, we would have found something else. It was very disappointing and we won't be back- ever!!

Checked in to a room, the tolet wouldn't flush (plugged up). Gave us a 2nd room, seemed ok, untill we woke up in the morning and found water on the bathroom floor. Decided to fibd another hotel. Ask for arefubd for the 2nd night from you. The manager gave us another room for "free". That night when we got settled in, discovered the smoke detector had been disconnect, the toilet seat had numerous cigarette burns on it, the mirror looked as though it was spladdered with blood. The security latch on the door had been broken off. The tv didn't work. I have taken pictures of all of the above. When i received a text from you saying you were not going refund my second night. Well i will not be using your service again.

It seemed like a crack head property. The room was ok, but the rest of the building was old and dirty. One night when we went into the building there was someone standing outside the front doors smoking a joint. I am not a prude, but this was not acceptable. There is no chance I will stay there again!!!!
