Inn at Portland

"Do not stay here. 30+ yrs of mold/mildew and smoke baked into the walls and carpet. Carpet is sticky. Thought to myself "I just need to stay somewhere tonight. I'll probably get used to the smell and I can put on flip-flops to walk to the bathroom". Then I felt the bed - moist. Not a word you want to associate with a bed. Another word? Sticky. Told them I couldn't stay there 'cause it was too gross. I was informed that it was their policy that if I'd been in the room more than 30m that they'd charge me for the 1st night (I was there about 45m). Note: they have a policy for this. A policy. In the end, we agreed I'd pay a $25 "cleaning fee". The only proof anyone had been in the room was an old receipt in the garbage and I'd turned down the bed, but whatever. I'd pay $25 to not stay there any day."

"The reception and breakfast areas are beautifully presented in a fresh contemporary style. However, after this great first impression the hallways to the rooms were a disappointment as they were drab and stale. The ochre colours and brown patterned carpet harked back to the 70s. It could be that the inn is mid way through a refurbishment and the hallways will get updated in keeping with the reception area. (it would be a massive improvement to have lighter walls and hard flooring instead of carpet) The staff were great. The breakfasts were good too. Plenty of choice. I given 4 stars simply because the door key cards frequently wouldn't work so you'd have to go to reception for new cards, and the dated, rather stale nature of the hallways and the room carpets. Having said that, I would stay again."

"The main problem was that the room stunk horribly of mildew, but also the fridge did not get very cold and the boiled eggs included in the breakfast were spoiled. On a positive notes if you got close enough, (to distance yourself from mildew scent) the sheets smelled fresh and the water pressure was sufficient, and yes the desk clerk was friendly. Stayed only 1 night thank goodness. Would not choose to stay here again."

"The room was dirty! Bathroom fan let in the aroma of smoke (it is located next to dispensary) and there was old food between the seat cushions of the chair in room. Bed comfy. Location 15 minute car ride from Portland. If you are in a pinch it’s fine but would rather pay a little extra to be elsewhere."

"I’ve stayed at more than a hundred hotels and motels ranging from Motel 6 to the Ritz Carlton over the years while traveling for business, leisure and medical care. While the Inn at Portland is an older, fairly modest hotel, I would certainly stay here again. I’ve never met nicer people than the owners and staff at this property. They are incredible, polite, accommodating and outgoing. They have made significant improvements to the place. The parking lot has been repaved and offers plenty of off street parking. Rooms have new large flatscreen TV’s (offering 100+ cable channels); comfortable beds; new light fixtures and furniture; microwaves; fridges; and more. The hotel is clean and quiet. They offer a free breakfast similar to what you might get at a Super 8. Getting to and from I-95 couldn’t be easier. I look forward to staying here again and seeing what additional improvements they have made."
