My dogs stayed there without any costs. I would stay there again, but unfortunately, I may not travel anymore. It's been years since I traveled, since losing my wife, and the traffic and crowds were horrendous. There are too many people everywhere. The world has changed for the worse.

Go Elsewhere!

I was told I could check in at 2 pm. My friend and I arrived, got the room key from the guy at the desk and went to the room. It was a 1 bed (full size), but I booked a 2 bed. I went back down and found the guy in the parking lot smoking a joint and explained that I got the wrong room. A different guy followed me in and said there wouldn't be one ready until 3. He informed me that my reservation did show that I booked a 2 bed and wasn't sure why the first guy gave me a 1 bed. Waited until 3, went to the desk to get the key and was told by the first guy that there weren't any 2 beds available and that my reservation shows a 1 bed. He said they've been having issues with hotels.com/Expedia with reservations showing up incorrectly. I just caught him in a lie. We ended up with a king bed but not what we wanted. The hotel was dirty, and the smell of pet urine lingered through all the hallways. The breakfast food was ok, but the countertops were disgusting. I had to ask the hotel staff to clean them. Not very pleasant. Good thing we only stayed one night. Would not stay again.

There are not a lot of local eateries, but the staff were friendly and responsive, check in was a breeze, the room was clean and tidy and the water in the taps was hot. The bed was pretty comfortable too and the internet was fast. Overall it was a good hotel stay, esp. for the price. The coffee was tolerable too (which is, although it doesn't sound like it, high praise given what I've had elsewhere).

Thumbs Up tp Motel 6 in Portland, Maine

Motel is being updated; room was super nice as well as clean. Neutral decor in new rooms had in a calming effect. Towels were numerous and fluffy. Bed mattresses were great -- one of the best night's sleep I've had in a long time. Handicapped accessible bath was nice and the bench met our needs. Staff were extremely helpful sharing knowledge about the area. Motel was very affordable.

Upon arrival all the outside lights near the front of the hotel were off so it was very dark. Some guy was just sitting in a old car listening to music. There was trash all over the parking lot. Front desk person was friendly. Hallways going to run were extremely dirty. Seemed more like a place you would rent the room by the hour.
