Hotels near Scarborough Historical Society in Scarborough

I chose this place as a less expensive alternative to hotels in Portland. Also because motels are safer during COVID than hotels (more ventilation because the room opens to the outdoors). First, I want to say my room was clean and comfortable. It's nothing fancy, but you get what you pay for. Also, I had a last-minute change to my reservation and the manager was very accommodating. So, thank you for that. My one non-COVID sort-of complaint is that, while you get a fridge and microwave (nice features), there's no coffee maker in the room. Would be nice to have that instead of the microwave, maybe. My biggest issue is that there were no COVID protocols in place. I went into the office to check in and the office was SEALED. I mean no windows open, door shut. The manager who checked me in was not wearing a mask. Two other guests were in there. I was the only one wearing a mask. And check in still involves filling out a card, even if you book on Booking.com, so it takes several minutes. I was quite eager to get out of there. When I got to my room, I realized he had given me a queen room rather than the king I booked, but I didn't want to go back into the office to request a room change. Then it occurred to me that if the manager wasn't wearing a mask, housekeeping probably didn't either. I kept the door open and opened the windows to air out my room before removing my mask, following what the experts say. Please open your office windows. It was 72 degrees and gorgeous outside. No reason to have everything sealed up.

I was bumped off a flight and Delta put me up at this hotel for the night I give this review 5 stars primarily because of David at the front desk. He was exemplary. Made sure I had everything I needed as my luggage was already checked and left on the plane- and he kept me informed with all the information I needed on where I could shop in the area. My room was very quiet although it was a Sunday night b I had a nice tree top view The shuttle the next morning was right on time, and Shea the driver was so helpful and pleasant-especially for that hour of that day! The only drawback is I feel that Marriott could’ve offered a complementary coffee in the lobby in the morning instead of charging $2.

The room is very good, the location is very good, opposite the mall, not far from the center of Portland, the hotel is quite quiet, the only small problem is that there is always a strange smell in the elevator.

We were in shock with our stay. The rooms were filthy. Black mold and mildew on the shower heads and in the groove lines on the shower wall with a black shadow on the bottom of the tub. There were hairs all over the bathroom. The floors were nasty with dirt and debris everywhere’s. The furniture in the rooms and in the main areas were all stained up. The desk chair in one of our rooms was a fake leather chair and it was completely cracked and pealed and if you sat on the chair it stuck to your clothing and pieces fell onto the floor. The rugs had not been cleaned at all. The walls and the vents were dirty even outside the room. The hall vents were black as could be around the vents, walls and ceilings. The lobby bathroom walls were dirty had old soap dripping down the wall dried and caked on. The trash can was all rusted and dirty. The floors were covered in dirt. We got two towels that had brown/red stains on them. We asked for a bag of trash and a plunger used for a back up toilet be taken down the first night of our stay and it was left outside our door because we were told housekeeping would pick it up and it sat there our whole stay. The pool and hot tube room windows were covered in green and black growth also and the worst part is the pool and hot tub chemicals burned our skin.

I stayed at this hotel last week, and it was awesome! I brought my dog, and the staff was so friendly and accommodating. Got a great workout in in their fitness center. The location was perfect too - right next to the mall. There is a brewpub across the street that's great, too - Sebago Brewing Company. I would definitely stay here again!

Nice, friendly, helpful staff. Clean rooms. Nice large rooms with a sitting area, kitchen area (microwave, fridge, and countertop), suitcase area, work desk area, clothing closet, separate bathroom vanity and shower/toilet areas, and bedroom area. Plenty of room for work, play, relaxing, and eating. Nice parking area. Watch airplanes come and go right from your bed. Breakfast buffet available (cheese omelets, strawberry yogurt, spicy sausage patties, pancakes, packaged muffins, and more.) Beverages available in the lobby include coffee, tea, cocoa, and hot apple cider. I would stay here again.

Tell tale signs that things you are not in IHG anymore: -When the room reeks of a fake scent that you gag and you find a room diffuser plugged in, unplug it, and 2 hours later realize why it was plugged in. Gag! -When you turn on the lights in the bathroom upon arrival and little critters start running for the drain and dark corners...and when you turn on the lights in the morning and BIGGER critters start running for cover on the desk and chair!! We literally think we transported one across state lines when it popped out at our next stay from a bag we had. -When you go to check in, and hear the front desk person apologies to the people in front of you that she only had one towel to give them because ”it was the last one”, and see that they are have NO front desk person manning the place overnight!!! Ummm, so if you arrive after mid-night, just stay in your car? Having been all around the world and an IHG member for almost 2 decades, I can say that this facility was by far several notches below the brand experience. I usually don't post stuff like this but feel that folks should know to keep on moving past this place to a more reputable brand if they want a safe, clean experience.

Great location tho it wasn't situation in the heart of downtown. Clean and bright room. Due to the covid the housekeeping service wasn't delivered during the 3 nights we stayed. The price was extremely expensive (actually all hotels in the whole Portland). Anyhow, great spacious room and I had a pleasant stay.
