Quality Inn and Suites South Portland Motel - Page 1

It was a good location, with a pleasant staff.

We stayed in a "suite" as in, it had a microwave, fridge, and a kitchen table. The sofa was a hide-a-bed that had a big hollow space under the cushions. You sit on the couch and you sink down into the folded bed. The floors are creaky (think Grandma's house) and for two nights the people staying upstairs left nothing to the imagination as they bed creaked on the floor all night long. The room was poorly weatherproofed, and if you stood by the couch and looked toward the door you could see daylight, even the cars parked outside through the large crack where the door did not fit the frame. The window mounted air conditioning units are old and filthy. Heating appears to be the baseboard variety. The beds were hard, the blanket was a ratty old green thing (again, think Grandma's.)

The worst part was the thin walls/ceiling/floor. It was impossible to get a good night’s sleep, especially with the midnight Olympics going on upstairs. Just people walking send shudders down the walls and if you lie in bed you can feel the vibrations through the walls and ceiling of people walking upstairs. That's how poorly constructed this place is. Unbelievably, the rate was $149 a night because of the "leaf-peeper" weekend and the fall foliage. Luckily the company was footing this bill, because I would not have paid for this. Quality? Not even close.

The hotel is easy on and off the highway. The onsite restaurant has good food and service.
