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!!!!

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.
