  • The courtesy rides to and from airport
    and the helpfulness of the staff.

  • Very family friendly
  • Over air-conditioned lobby

“If you're traveling with kids this hotel is ideal. Pool opens at 7:00 am. Lots of towels. Kid oriented restaurant, Friendly's, is attached. It's quiet, clean, easy to find and only 5 miles from downtown Portland. Our four year-old grandson would give this hotel 5 stars.”

  • The price was very accommodating and clean.
  • No complaints.

“We were very happy with the location and just minutes away from Portland. The room was clean and the restaurants were close - the price per night was very reasonable compared to other hotels.”

  • Everything about it was fantastic.

“We are parents of a travel soccer athlete and travel all over the state sometimes staying over in hotels for tournaments or late games. We were very happy with this hotel. It was much more than expected and we would certainly recommend it to others.”

  • I was pleased that it had a pool.
  • The staff were very rude about the situation & the maid did not give me any privacy.

“The place was relatively clean but they did not keep the hot tub clean or the floor area clean near the pool. Patrons could use the computer but it could not be used for business purpose because you could not save info on a UB drive. I was taking a summer class and it would have been useful to be able to type something and save it even if it was only for a 30 minute time period. As far as privacy, I thought I didn't have any. One day when i returned to my room the maid was there and stayed there cleaning while I was in the room. I just didn't like that at all.”

  • Amenities, location and service all exceeded my expectations.
  • The only thing waas uncomfortable pillows.

“The staff at this hotel was nothing less than accommodating, I would stay there again in a heartbeat. the desk did a courtesy call to make sure we were comfortable! I have stayed in numerous hotels over my adult life and no other hotel has ever done that, was definitely a nice gesture that I wont forget.”

  • Comfortable, convenient, rooms well appointed.
  • The attached restaurant - shabby.

“It had been many years since I stayed at a Howard Johnson, and was positively surprised at the standard of accommodation. It had everything that I needed for an overnight stay, including close by low price gas stations which I needed to fill up my rental car before turning it in - just 2 miles from the airport.”

  • I liked everything about it. Friendly attached and the pool was big bonus.
  • I have nothing negative to say.

“We stayed in various hotels on our trip and this Howard Johnson's rated high in our opinion. Beds were great quality - nice pillows, nice mattresses, good mattress pads, nice bedding, everything was clean, lots of room in the room to get around and lay our bags. We were very pleased with everything and it was an added bonus to have friendly attached. The pool was fantastic also. Easy access to wherever we wanted to go. Great place for families.”

  • Very nice staff. Beautiful indoor pool. Nice workout area. Large and
    comfortable room.

“Conveniently located right off of Route 95. Short drive (5 - 10 minutes.) to downtown area but lots of dining and entertainment within the immediate area as well. Hotel was very clean. Large comfortable rooms. Very helpful staff and nice pool and workout areas to boot.”

  • Been there before. Always nice.
  • Room conditioner tricky to figure out.

“Convenient location to highway, to the mall and to the airport. Would recommend it. Nice pool and exercise room was small but nice. Friendly's next door for family or the hotel restaurant is very good. Vanessi's I think.”
