“Surprisingly good stay for the price!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed at the Knights Inn in South Portland in early October 2011, and it was a surprisingly good stay for the price that we paid. From first appearances, it looks a bit sketchy; however, our impressions quickly improved when we saw the room.

Upon arrival, we were checked-in relatively quickly at the Inn's main office; the Inn is such that the rooms are accessed directly from the parking lot in motel style. There are two buildings, one painted blue, the other yellow. Our room was in the yellow building, and when we entered our room, we were very pleasantly surprised. For a motel it was quite spacious, the furnishings all appeared to be brand new (except for an older-style CRT television), and the walls seemed to be freshly painted. The only thing unpleasant about the room that we could tell was a slight smell, probably an indication that the room was once a smoking room (it was now a non-smoking room). Otherwise, everything in the room was great. The television and cable worked well, there was a wireless connection available, and there were numerous lamps around the room.

We hardly heard a peep from any of our neighbors (though we noticed that there were no vacancies, and the parking lot was full). The cars on the highway could be heard when the bathroom window was open, but when closed we could not hear those cars at all. The only odd, occasional noise was that emanating from the air conditioner. This, however, did not keep us awake at all, and the room temperature remained comfortable for the entire night.

As for the staff: at check-in, a bit moody, at check-out, quite pleasant! In addition, there is a Dunkin Donuts immediately across the street from the hotel; very convenient for breakfast.

Overall, a good stay for a very cheap price. If in Portland again, we would consider staying here again.

Room Tip: The only room we saw, our own, was in the yellow building! Perhaps this building has been renovated...

“A bit noisy”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2011

people found this review helpful

The hotel was nice on the inside, very clean and neat in appearance. The air conditioning worked great! It is a good place to stay, but my only complaint was that it was a bit noisy. The hotel is right off a main road and you could hear the cars all night, pretty sure there is little insulation in the rooms. Other than that, it was a great stay. Although they say they have breakfast, it consists of Dunkin donuts and coffee or tea to go, which is better than nothing!

“Dirty dingy motel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2011 via mobile

people found this review helpful

My husband and i stayed there for one night in the winter. There were not even fitted sheets on the beds! The floor wasnt vaccuumed and the bathroom wasnt clean. When my husban went to complain they informed us that if we were not satisfied we should take our money elsewhere, which is exactly what we do. This is a dirty dingy motel that i strongly reccomend you never stay!

“I would NEVER recommend you stay at this place...horrible!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2011

people found this review helpful

WOW...I have never been treated with such disrespect...from the moment I walked in to check in, the staff was SO RUDE. They verbally assaulted my friend...we didn't even feel comfortable staying there and could not get refunded so we booked another hotel and paid for both! Disgusting stench in the room...and nasty. Also, they don't follow through with their online policies...they completely changed it in person and said if any extra person came to the room for even a brief second they would be charged $100 per person and the cops would be called. I'd NEVER EVER EVER stay there or recommend it to anyone. HORRIBLE SERVICE....HORRIBLE BUSINESS.

“Assaulted by the cleaning staff”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 July 2010 via mobile
3
people found this review helpful

At the 3 in the morning and in need of some rest, my wife & I decided to lay our heads at this motel. It's over priced for the quality though our room was moderately clean.

Our real surprise came in the morning when the cleaning staff pounded on our door at 11:05am telling us it was checkout time. Checkout time is 11am, admittedly, and we had overslept. Most places will give you a bit of grace in checking out. But we hopped to it and showered. Standing in nothing but my towel, at 11:15am the cleaning staff pounded aggressively on the door and shouted "you have to leave." The two maids then unlocked the door and opened it. I told them we were just about ready and pushed back on the door. We tussled with the door for a moment as they screamed at me that "checkout was 11am -- you have to leave NOW." I managed to get the door closed.

When we departed the room, the two cleaning ladies were just finishing berating another couple to hit the road (they has also checked in at 3am). They gave us an interesting combo of the evil eye/staredown/you-just-killed-my-cat looks. Wow -- and we'd only run over checkout by 20 minutes!

I understand that these places need to turnaround rooms promptly but I was shocked that this motel leaves it's policy policing to it's aggressive cleaning staff who think nothing of unlocking guests' doors to scream at them.

The manager explained their behavior by saying one of them had an appointment.

Don't stay here.
