Super 8 South Portland

A horrible dump. No light bulb in bedside reading lamp. No response when this was reported. AC not turned on despite sweltering day (to save money?) Had to activate once in room. Hotel staff well-meaning but unresponsive and seemingly incompetent. All in all, a third world experience.

not bad for the money. pretty close to downtown portland. overall a pretty good value.

Genuine Expedia guest review

appeared to be a hotel that specialized in renting to monthly clients.

Stayed for three nights, bed never got changed or made, don't think they were clean when I checked in. Towels never were removed from floor so ended with a pile of dirty towel, spoke to the front desk and nothing changed

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Lobby smelled of smoke..well stank of smoke. But my non smoking was clean and smelled only of cleaning products. Beds can use more comfortable pillows. My pillows were of the solid foam type and I could't squish them to my preference.

couldnt even go to to the the bathroom because there wasnt enough tolitepaper.

The worst part about our stay was being woken up at 9am by the hotel's housekeeping vacuuming in the hallway. The hotel was very very outdated, if I could place a year on the last time it was updated my guess would be late 60's early 70's. Another problem we had with out stay was that not all of the outlets in the room worked, there were several lamps […] in the room that did not turn on because the outlets they were plugged into were dead. We also had to unplug the tv while we ironed because the other outlets were out. Also, walking through the hallways were dreadful because of the smell coming out of the trash cans in the hallways. There also was a horrible smell of someone smoking in the halls. The beds were horribly uncomfortable, as well as the two pillows in total in the room. We had a king size bed, with two flat flat flat pillows for two people. The heater in the room was so old that it was impossible to adjust the heat properly, we were either to cold or to hot. My fiance and I were on vacation and after staying in this hotel, we could not wait to come home. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, send that extra 50$ and stay in Old-port where at least you'll be comfortable during your stay. Read more

Front staff of husband and wife was very friendly the first night, second night was husband's father and mother, not so friendly. Fitness room was locked entire stay and there was breakfast served. Heat didn't work the first night, took a time to get it fixed the second day. However for the price it was all livable.

It was a great stay. It would be nice if there were refrigerators in the rooms!

The friendly desk clerk, and a clean room and bed are really all I needed. That it cost 20%r of what I paid the in Boston the previous night was a big bonus.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I'd recommend this hotel to others because it was only a bed and bathroom close to the airport. That was all I was looking for.

We arrived very late, almost midnight; There is no food there, not even a soda machine; We had to travel to a near by 7-11 ; I have a person that needs at least a pudding to take bedtime meds. so this was an additional pain in the neck. No breakfast to speak off. The room was clean, and the beds were very comfortable, we did sleep well. Old fashion […] heating units, either you are hot or too cool. The bathrooms had black mold all around the tile; and there was not a tissue box to be found; Very disappointing; We did inform the clerk at check out, she apologized for the mold, and said it was the first she had heard of it. We will try the Best Western next to it the following trip. Very conveniently located near route 295 and the Maine turnpike, 95; Read more

We needed a cheap place at the last minute and this fit the bill. We chose to spend a bit more money for a lot more comfort the following night. If you are on the cheap and know you aren't spending a lot of time in the room, this is your place. Towels are basic, sheets barely stay on the bed, air/fan needs updating but hey, we had a place to lie our […] heads. You get what you pay for....but it is clean! Read more

Smelled like they used a whole bottle of disinfectant to cover up some other horrible smell. Side door to hotel had no lock...seemed a tad unsafe. The lights didn't work in the room & the shower was a little dirty. Overall...we needed a cheap place to stay one night...and we got what we paid for! They did have some great cable tv!! I might think about […] spending a little more $$ next time & upgrade to a more reputable hotel! Read more

Motel in much disrepair. Phone in room didn't work and it took 3 tries to get a replacement. No towels in bathroom when I arrived and was told they were all out being laundered and I'd have to wait. Refrigerator and microwave in room not plugged in or out of service, young man at check-in desk not helpful at all. I would never stay here again and it […] has caused me to rethink staying at super 8s anywhere. Read more

What an awful experience. We arrived around 6 pm and the maid was only cleaning the room. Finally got in the room and there was no a/c, picked up the phone to call the front desk and it came apart in my hands. Went to turn on the lamp and there was no bulb in there. had to go down to the desk to tell them because the phone did not work. On the way […] down we pass the work out room with a big "out of order" sign on it, the vending machine was also out of order. They turned the air on at the front desk for us and sent someone up to fix the phone but he ended up replacing it because it was not fixable. We were also told there was free Wi-Fi and could not get a connection on either of our computers. Awful experience................................. Read more

I read previous reviews about this hotel and since I am not a very picky person I did not heed the warnings. I made the booking anyway because everywhere else was more expensive, and this hotel was close in proximity to where I wanted to be. I tell you now, unless you want to feel disgusting, creeped out by the disturbing uncleanliness of this hotel, […] and feel like you are in a low-grade horror film...than by all means stay there. It was cheaper, but i would not recommend it unless you have a gas mask. The windows are sealed shut, the floors are so dirty that our socks were black within minutes, the tub had 1 foot of water in it, the air conditioner did not work, the toilet was orange/yellow with flies in it. Etc etc etc. Do not stay there! Read more

I don't ask much from a hotel. Clean and dry on a rainy night is all that really matters. This one was dry, but not at all clean. Stains on the blankets, the origin of which I can only nauseatingly speculate on. Free WiFi? Uh, not exactly. Free yes, but none of the connections worked. I got the front desk shrug when I asked about it. I won't be staying […] there again. Read more

We stayed at this hotel after 2 full days of sightseeing in NH and ME; we were exhausted when we checked in. We failed to notice the trash & abundance of cigarette butts just outside the front doors as we were tired and it was dark when we checked in. The first room we received, the bedding was absolutely filthy. As this is a budget hotel, it was no […] surprise that there wasnt a mattress pad on the bed, however, the bedding filth was unacceptable. There were dirty shoe prints on the pillowcases and the sheets were stained. The blanket had either chocolate or feces on it and there was dried blood on the comforter. I asked for and received another room which was slightly better. The king size pillows had standard pillowcases on them giving us a view of the verfy old and stained pillows. The pillowcases lacked show prints but did have dirt on them. The sheets were also stained. At least I hope they were stained, they appeared to have old urine stains on them. The blanket did not fit the king size bed as it was, at best, a queen size and the comforter was unusable as it had several unidentifiable stains on the underside. The towels were at least clean so we draped them over the pillows to get some sleep. The included "continental breakfast" was nothing more than weak coffee, one quart of 2% milk, one pitcher of rancid smelling orange juice and the breakfast foods were limited to slices of white and wheat bread and mini muffins and 2 choices of dried cereal. While the hotel staff were pleasant enough although disinterestefd, the disgraceful state of the hotel, which appeared to be quite nice in years past, was sad. The rugs were linty and dirty and the glass in the lobby was filmy and dirty. I have stayed in several other "budget" hotels but this one was by far the dirtiest one Ive ever seen and if my husband and I hadnt been so exhausted, we never would have remained at such a place. I was VERY diappointed in my stay. Read more

Location and personel were very good to excellent but the motel was marginal at best. First room was wrong, key wouldnt work. after that we moved to another room - outlets on the walls were burned with pieces of plugs still hanging out! Refrig didnt work, had to have the AC/Heat turned on by reception (after messing with it for 30 mins), no fitted sheets […] and standard size pillow cases on king size pillows. Also something (ketchup or peanut butter I hope?) on the wall - and this was our second room! The pool as closed and had been all summer and the wireless internet did not work. Of course we paid very little little so cant complain too much. The bed and bathroom was clean and they were working on the other units. Read more

Picked it because it was cheap & close to airport. Big mistake! Was quiet & cheap. The only good thing I can say.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I chose this hotel based on price alone, so I got what I paid for. The first room I had was "Non-smoking" but smelled like smoke, the smoke detector was disconnected and two lamps were broken. We requested another room. Our second room smelled like smoke as well but the smoke detector was intact and the lamps functional, so I did not have to worry […] about my family's safety. There was food left in the room's refrigerator, the carpets had not been vacuumed and there was an unsightly smudge on the bathroom wall. The hotel is close to Portland and the Jetport and is inexpensive, but it will be worth spending a few bucks not to stay here again. Read more

We stayed there two nights- at beginning of trip and end. The motel is in urgent need of upgrade- the window blinds were literally attached with scotch tape. Both nights they had difficulty assessing my hotel.com reservation. Staff was cooperative and let us change rooms the last night when the queen sheets on the king bed clearly showed evidence of […] bed bugs. Also, I was convinced that if I booked directly the rates would have been less. This place needs renewal. Read more

One of the worst hotels we have stayed in. Shower curtain full of mold, only one set of towels in the room, we had to go to the office to get the extra towels. The vending machines were all broken. This is not a hotel I would stay in again.

This was not up to par for Super 8s. The internet was broken, two light bulbs in my room were burned out or I couldn't plug in the lamps, there was an antiseptic smell in the halls. It was clean, however.

We drove into the parking lot literally over a pile of trash because the dumpster had over flowed. Trash everywheres. Then we walked up the steps, the back yard grass was up over our knees a broke down lawn mower abandoned right by the steps. Our room stunk so terribly bad it was almost unbearable and it was supposed to be smoke free. Not even a coffee […] pot in the room, thread bare towels and by the end of the evening my socks were completely black on the bottom from walking across the floor. So I would highly recommend everyone steer clear of this hotel. Read more

The room for the most part was clean. The bathroom floor was a little dirty. The service was excellent. The houseing around the hotel was that great with trash all over the place.

Lived up to the 2 star rating. Chosen due to lowest price that given night. Room was adequate. On arrival no towels, cups. 2 visits to front desk needed to obtain towels. Friendly staff.

Smoke alarm went off at 1 am in am and stayed on for a very long time. Bathroom door didn't shut. Air conditioning broken. Not enough pillows. Toilet had trouble flushing. Nobody at front desk when checking out at 6am.

This was a FOUL room. Personally it was one of the dirtiest rooms we have ever stayed in. We had a last min trip, a 4 hour ride, and took the first room we could find; namely this hotel. Be aware: I have pictures to back up my complaint Exhausted from the drive during the storm, we were ready to collapse in bed. However, once we unpacked this is when […] the horror began. 1. The toilet bowl was hanging by a thread and everytime it was sat on, it slipped. 2. Under the lid was worn and dirty. 3. No kleenex 4. Mold and sludge under the faucet in the tub. 5. The floor had leftover hair. 6. The toilet bowl base had left over hair 7. When the water in tub was turned off, it gave a banging sound. 8. A sloppy wooden box holding a refrigerator which had never been defrosted. 9. A blanket which had MANY DRIED FLUIDS on it. 10. A mattress protector too small which kept springing loose all night. 11. The a/c unit smelled musty. Now, I ask you...would you have stayed there I think Ill be sending this to the BBB and the health dept. also..this was disgusting. Read more

for the price it was decent. the smell of the cleaning chemicals was so bad in my nose that i had a hard time breathing. It was clean but the fumes were bad. The front desk clerk was very nice and extremely helpful in helping us navigate the city.

nothing to rave about, but better than plenty of others. room was simple and spacious- there were only 2 easily-reachable outlets, but that was enough for us. the toilet in the bathroom kept running, but we just closed the door so the noise wouldn't bother us. the shower water was nice and hot. the towels and sheets weren't great quality, but clean. […] the air conditioner worked well and actually changed temperature as we adjusted the dials. overall it was a fine place to stay, since we were just looking for a cheap place to spend the night.

This hotel had incompetent staff. The room smelt absolutely awful. There was hair still on the toilet and in the shower. The decor was horrendous. The drawers were broken and the ac was less then adequate. My boyfriend slept with the blanket provided and woke up itchy with bed bug bites all over. By far, our worst hotel stay ever.
