The hotel room use to be a non smoking room but it still stunk of old cigarrets. I was told that it was just renevated but you could tell they didn't go all the way to get rid of the stale smell. they said someone before me could have smoked but you would think the cleaning staff would have taken care of it if it was a room that was just renevated a […] week before we got there. Plus the bed was as hard as a rock...good if you like it that way. Read more

We were staying in Maine for a family event - the hotel was in a perfect location, it was a nice room, and the staff was friendly and professional. The indoor pool and hot tub were a nice addition.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Great room. Great bed. Free wifi. Pool, hot tub, spa and work out area clean and open until 10PM. Close to everything I went there for. Great price. The only thing I missed was a continental breakfast and some complimentary coffee/tea.I would definitely stay there again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very clean; pool is warm. Restaurant for dinner has good food and service, and now the Egg and I is on the premises for breakfast. Everyone was friendly. Near enough the Old Port, beaches, and shopping to be convenient.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It is fine place to stay. Especially for the price you pay. There are plenty of named chain restaurants such as Applebee, ruby Tuesdays etc, just keep in mind most of these places close at 9pm on weekdays. If you get there late, there is nothing in the vicinity to eat.

More than adequate room, good size, not noisy, though the walls aren't that thick, and I could hear other people running around in the room next to mine. Overall, a good value.

The customer service here was fantastic! My travelling companion and I had an unexpected event come up and we cancelled 3 of my 4 nights staying there due to that. The night before we were due to leave, we found out that we could in fact stay in the Portland area. After my first night's stay there, I spoke with a Dianne in the morning and she was absolutely […] fabulous! She not only helped us to get all of the remaining nights there at a great rate. The room itself was great as well. However, the heating system was a bit loud and whenever we opened the outside room door, the plastic cover for the light in the ceiling would suction and create a loud noise. I WOULD BOOK A STAY HERE AGAIN!!!! Read more

just a quick stop in Portland, and the HoJo there was perfect for the purpose. The location is convenient to the airport and within 15 mins of downtown. The room was clean and the staff friendly. The only real complaint is that the walls (and ceiling) didn't insulate for noise very well and my wife had trouble sleeping.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room had a joining door and I could here every thing. One bed had a stain on top of sheet.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We had 3 rooms booked and 1 room was not clean and another had an issue with the tub not draining and was not rectified.

Hotel was clean and our room was comfortable and quiet. I would definitely stay here again.

Great staff, great place to stay. Very accommodating and I would definitely stay there again! Thanks!

This would get a five, but the walls are thin and I had frisky neighbors. Otherwise it is clean, comfortable and well kept.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The location is convenient to the highway, but not intrinsically attractive. The hotel itself is simple rather than luxurious, but comfortable and clean. We appreciated having six pillows on the king-size bed.

This hotel was filthy. It is unkept, needs repairs and upgrades galore, could use paint and general repair. The staff was great, the beds clean and comfortable, but the hotel on a whote was absolutely dreadful. I won't stay there again.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Rear entry door handle was broken. It looked like it had been forced. I spend allot of nights in hotels. I felt like I was signing off on a house mortgage loan with all the forms and ID I had to show upon check in. Person at front desk was robotic almost to the point of being rude.

Nothing spectacular but clean, good value. I have nothing else to add. This is very annoying. I will probably not respond to any more survey request from Expedia.

My husband, adult daughter and I stayed two nights while visiting family for Thanksgiving. We had a very clean room and bathroom. There was also a second sink and mirror outside the bathroom. The beds were very comfortable. I usually get a sore back when I'm not in my own but it didn't happen there. Staff at the front desk and housekeepers were pleasant […] and helpful. Because we were busy with family events, we didn't use the weight room or pool but they looked well kept. The hotel is right off the turnpike exit so made it convenient to get to all the places we were going. It's only a few minutes to the Maine Mall exit for those interested in shopping. As close as it was to the turnpike, we didn't hear any traffic noise, though the first night I kept waking up every time the heat went on. I didn't notice it the second night. We will definitely be staying there on future trips to visit family. Read more

Located right off the highway and easy to find. It was an older hotel, and my room seemed small. There was no ice on my floor, so I had to go up or down the weird stairs to find some. There was an adunbance of postings and signage about safety. The front door had instructions on double locking for security, and a sign that tells you to go check the […] patio door to make sure all those locks are locked. This was very unsettling. And the binder of Info instructs guests to check with hotel staff on safety of neighborhood before venturing out on foot. I wouldn't stay here again based on not feeling safe, and because of the warnings, worrying about my car as well. There also appeared to be some odd rust and mold in the shower that someone attempted to cover with lots of caulk, unsuccessfully. Read more

HoJo's is convenient, welcoming with a fireplace in the lobby, clean, with big rooms. A new breakfast/lunch place is opening in the adjoining space and the adjoining restaurant is very good. Lots of stores, Dunkies, Panera, etc. Easy drive to Portland or Freeport. Pool, gym, and whirlpools very nice. All very clean. It is an older facility.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Honestly, it was better than I had anticipated. The airport shuttle was on time to get us to our early morning flight out of Portland airport. The hotel staff was nice and pleasant, gave us a great reccomendation for a seafood restaurant in downtown, we ate lots of lobster before leaving Maine! The hotel is a bit dated from the 60's or 70's, but really […] not in bad shape. There's a fitness room and a pool. For a family it's a decent hotel, and we would stay again. The price point is a plus. Read more

overall it was satisfactory

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"High speed internet" it was slow to the point of not even existing. Room was outdated, smelled bad and was not even very clean. It did have a decent TV small but still newer. Went to the fireside inn and it was not any better. If you have to stay here for business just stay elsewhere and drive in.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel afforded us a base for day trips to everything we wanted to see in that region of Maine. I would highly recommend it if you want to visit Portland. A clean room and good service was exactly what we wanted.

Staff was extremely helpful and nice. Wasn’t impressed with food at the onsite restaurant for breakfast, which wasn’t included in our room rate. Loved the pool and 2 hot tubs. Great price, great value.

If you're a traveler who doesnt hang around in the hotel all day,you'll be fine with howard. It's simple and cheap. There were some noise being we were the first room in the hall way. One thing that i didnt like was the location of where the laundry/cleaning room was(offen had stuff filling up hallway/room),right before going to your room. Over all […] it was okay. Decent bed and provided basic needs. Dont complain if you arent willing to pay more. Read more

Received a 5:30 wake up call that we did not ask for. Room was not made up for our 2nd night. They said they called the room and we didn't answer- no kidding, we were out.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel staff was very attentive. Quality of bed mattress could have been better.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We were very pleased with the room and the service. Although the hotel does not have a concierge the desk agent provided us with a recommendation for a restaurant and written directions to it. We availed ourselves of his recommendation and were very satisfied. Our room was pleasant and met all our needs. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Nice hotel, if you know your way around Portland you can easily avoid the toll road on I-75. Everything was good except that the room smelled like a smoking room when it was a non-smoking room.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room was very clean as well as the halls and other general areas. Although the front desk staff was pleasant, they were not overly friendly. This is not a major complaint since they did perform their duties. Overall, my wife and I were very pleased with the hotel. We would stay there again. The cleaning service did not discard old soap bars. There […] was only one end table for the bed. Bruce Read more

It was in a good location, not too far from the downtown area. Getting to the downtown area is a bit of a hassle simply because there are a lot of one way streets which make things confusing. The staff were nice and helpful at check in.
