I have stayed at this property numerous times over the past several years and have always been satisfied. The rooms are neat and comfortable and the hotel is well-lit. There are restaurants and a mall within walking disance. Inside corridors require all guests to enter through the lobby to reach their rooms. Several other outside doors are only for emergency purposes. Some negatives are that there are no room clock/radios, has limited satellite television reception, and having to pay extra for internet access. This place offers a great value for those who appreciate good, clean basic accommodations.. Other nearby properties may be more to the liking of the demanding traveler.

The admission staff was good: end of good comments.
One of our rooms smelled horrible, as did the stairwell going up. When advised of the problem, the staff offered a refund, IE: find someplace else. This weekend was busy in Portland ME area, there were no other options, especially after a 9 hour drive to get there. They offered a spray which smelled more like urine than air freshener. Even leaving the second floor window open the meager 4 inches allowed by the security block on it did nothing to alleviate the odor. The center stair well smelled like a urinal also. Other guests overheard our comments and said theirs smelled also.
The Weekend Day manager on our 3rd and final night offered to change rooms. The room they offered was still dirty from the previous "guest" and this was 7 in the evening.
On checking out, a different day manager offered us a 10% discount. Fortunately a general manager arrived and finally refunded the room rent.
Another negative was that internet was available for $4 a day. This is the first place in years we have stayed at where they charged for that. The ice machine was a floor down from us and next to the clothes dryer. Imagine how solid that ice was. No shampoo was in either room, threadbare towels, 6 available television channels with no options for more channels. One day the two of us received one hand towel, sharing is big there, I guess.
Non smoking rooms had cigarette burns in on the bed spreads and guests and staff was smoking just outside the only entry door, forcing non-smokes to enjoy the pleasure of second hand smoke.
Will we return? Tom Burdett, you best do more than leave the light on. But as I said the desk staff was good. We could not understand the housekeeping “English”. Saves on shampoo, I guess.

Just don't stay here there is nothing good about it. Absolutely disgusting, hookers and homeless in the parking lot, dirty dirty dirty inside and out. Garbages outside overflow and staff walk past it. Cig butts and condoms in the parking lot. Human urine in the stairwell. It's just awful. DONT even think about it.

I had asked for a room on the ground floor as I was traveling with an elderly person. Well, we got our ground floor room, only to find, it was a handicapped room. This would have been fine, but it didn't have a bathtub at all. There wasn't even a shower stall. They just put a shower curtain across the width of the bathroom, and a wooden seat. The floor was level, so the water didn't drain very well. The water ended up covering the whole bathroom floor as far as the flush. They should have had the drain lower than the floor! Needless to say, every time we washed our hands in the bathroom sink, we got our feet wet- not a good feeling in the middle of the night. The room was quite bare- just a phone. The room smelled like a wet dog. We won't be staying there again for sure. The gal at check in did not give one smile and no thank you at all. I guess she didn't care if anyone stayed there or not.
