Clarion Pointe South Portland

8/10 Good
"We knew exactly what we were paying for when we booked this hotel, although judging by some of the other reviews, it seems not everyone had the same expectations. This is an older, budget-friendly hotel, and the price reflects that. Is it fancy? Absolutely not. Is the breakfast anything special? No. Are the amenities impressive? Not particularly. But that’s not what you’re paying for. What you are getting is a clean, safe place to sleep, comfortable enough accommodations, and staff who were incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. I think it’s important to have realistic expectations when booking accommodations, especially in an area where hotels can be considerably more expensive. You can’t reasonably expect luxury accommodations at budget prices. Yes, the property is dated and could use some updates, but that doesn’t automatically make it a bad hotel. At the end of the day, we felt safe, had a clean place to sleep, and were treated wonderfully by the staff. For the price we paid, I think that’s perfectly reasonable, and we got exactly what we expected."

"The hotel is being renovated but the property is maintained well. Overall the hotel was in a good location near the highway and a mall. Unfortunately our room smelled really bad and they weren’t able to switch us to a different room or provide any Febreze to try and eliminate the odor. They did compensate me with points though. Breakfast was average and wasn’t stocked very quickly. Felt like they were short staffed."
