Check in was not great, the rooms were supposed to be adjoining and they were not. Then when we went to the room they gave us one was already open and was not clean at all. They moved us and the new rooms were okay. The next day we asked them to clean the room and replenish our towels and they never did. Otherwise the beds were clean and comfortable. also common to hear dogs barking at night.

No covers on the duvet and some stains along the bottom of the bed. Terrible breakfast - everything was cold or luke warm at best. But very convenient to go into Portland for the whole day, especially if you have your own car.

Stayed at Germaine inn over the weekend, forgot a few personal items so attempted to get in touch via phone call. Their phone number is not in service and my multiple e-mails were not answered. The place itself was not the worst, obviously under some much needed renovations. Very disappointed with the customer service as my multiple attempts to get in touch were unsuccessful.

The room was pretty big and comfortable for two people and all of the furniture was great. Cleanliness was on point. The only downside was that, there wasn't anybody replenishing the breakfast items when they were running low, so you better get there as early as possible.

Some sites still say/show Howard Johnson’s - it’s not. Friendly staff, very clean room, great beds with lots of pillows. A bit of a fruit fly problem. Area feels safe, Indoor pool looks clean and quiet (didn’t use). Pet friendly. Easy check in/out. Breakfast could use work. Standard but minimum offerings without much care or quality. Very short hours. Seating is very tight and chairs have skids making them hard to move. Would stay again - a quick, pleasant off-highway drive into Portland.

Floors in room dirty, had to wash our feet after showering and getting ready. Carpet in hallways had not been swept the day we arrived or the next morning. Closet shelf was coming out of wall, towels hung onto racks in bathroom unevenly..like a child has put them up, lock on door broken, blinds in room were blackout from the outside but did nothing to keep light out from inside for sleeping. Breakfast room was too small with too many tables crammed in there and the addition of a foot wide makeshift bar around the perimeter me are it impossible to even get thru to the food. Hot food was cold. No waffle mix for machine. No napkins. No attendant in there to keep tables cleaned off.

The beds and bathrooms were clean, but the floors and windows were not clean. The breakfast was very basic with very few options. The pool did not look appealing and the windows looking into the pool were filthy. I did not see any cleaning staff the two days we were there. It's a very ordinary hotel that was close enough to the beach. I doubt we will be staying again.
