Port Inn & Suites Kennebunk, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff was excellent. We had a newly renovated king suite. We tried to use the coffee maker but it didn’t work. We contacted the front desk and they sent someone up right away but they couldn’t get it to work either. They found that three of the outlets were not working. They brought another one up and used a fourth plug and that worked. They also didn’t have a light bulb in the entry light which made it very dark. They didn’t have the right one but I’m sure both of the above will be fixed for the next people who book. We tried to use the car charger but that also was broken. The breakfast was just ok. They gave us a doggie bag for our dog which was a nice touch. It had a dog dish and a couple of dog biscuits. We liked the location and the room overall. It was very quiet which made it enjoyable. We booked Mon - Wed. I’m sure everything will be fixed and we would stay here again because the staff was great!"

Americas Best Value Inn Scarborough Portland

10/10 Excellent

"I've stayed here 3 or 4 times over the last year. This was one of the better rooms (#103). They are all adequate, but this one has been more recently renovated than some of the others I have stayed in. It was very clean, no issues, nothing damaged, lots of pillows, and I slept very well. I also appreciated the microwave and fridge with small freezer compartment. No coffee machine but there's hot water inside the office. This motel is my inexpensive and reliable go-to stop when I am driving through New England to Maine."
