"Great stay"
Other then we had a hard time finding the hotel, it was very good. We were given a choice of which floor we wanted to stay on. One small issue about midnight.....neighbors were a little loud in the hallway. I assume they may have had one too many nightcaps. But otherwise the room was clean, it was quiet and we got the rest we wanted.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Better than I had expected"
I thought that this was a very nice place for the price. I don't recall it having the greatest ratings so I didn't have very high expectations. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. I found the gal at the front desk to be very pleasant. I wish I could remember her name. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants an inexpensive, no-frills […] place to stay.

"Perfect layover destination"
Our room was extremely clean and the bathroom fairly spacious for such a cheap rate. It was a perfect place to stop inbetween destinations, with a pool (3-6ft so our small child could swim too) and close to a large shopping center. Their staff is extremely friendly and accomidating (we were allowed to check in early). Overall rating: AGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great find for family traveling frequently."
I have traveled a lot over the past 15 years for business and pleasure. What I have come to value above all else is the comfort of the bed and quality of the pillows. This is the second HoJo I have stayed at in the past 2 weeks (on separate vacations one in Ohio and this one in Maine) and both times I was very pleasantly suprised by the excellent night […] of sleep. Another key ingredient, I did not hear people up and down the hall or through the walls. I have paid far more money only to wake up stiff from an uncomfortable bed/pillows and awakened by kids running up and down the halls. The room/hotel was clean, pool warm, staff helpful, conveniently located to the mall and 10 minutes to beach. There are lots of resturants, gas stations, atms, and coffee shops handy. The breakfast was the normal cereal, toast/bagel/english muffins, waffle maker. Long story short, I love to travel several times a year andin the past I considered it a point of achievement or status to pay more for hotels that gave me less comfort. I do spend most of my time out seeing the local sights, and a good nights sleep is absolutely the most important factor of my hotel choice. After a second great experience with HoJo, I will definately look for their listing on expedia in future as my first choice. Yes I am a real person and actually a pharmacist, so you know I am designed to be critical and honest :) Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Great hotel for a family"
We were very surprised and pleased that an older hotel was in such good condition and clean. The service was exceptional during the entire stay. They call you a few minutes after you enter your room to see if everything is okay and if you need anything. Really impressed with the personal touch.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Clean, comfortable, convenient-- great value!"
My parents and I stayed here on the way to a wedding in Portland. We were very pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness and quality-- the rates were so low, we expected it to be a "just grin-and-bear-it" stay. But we all agreed that we would have been highly pleased with it, even at a higher price. I heartily recommend this hotel. Everything was clean […] and new-looking. The pool was fine. Though the area surrounding the hotel is ugly, it is extremely convenient: only 10 minutes from historic Portland. I did not avail myself of the continental breakfast-- the breakfast room was small and smelled of greasy fried foods. But there were plenty of restaurants and coffee places within walking distance.

this hotel was conveniently located to access both downtown Portland as well as area beaches. It was clean, spacious, and the staff members were friendly. The wi-fi was spotty, and unreliable.

"Portland south HJ, convenient to jetport"
We were travelling in Maine as a group, and needed 4 rooms for our last night. Booking at HJ online was easy, and the rooms were very good. It was easy to find, and it was near some very good restaurants. Checkout was a breeze and it's within 10 minutes of the Jetport. We all were very pleased with the rooms. The only complaint is about breakfast; that […] they need some protein in their breakfast offerings, and they need to improve thier coffee. So stay here, but eat elsewhere.

This hotel was great for the price. The room was clean and very quiet. I would recommend this hotel. There was alot of children in the pool so I could not enjoy it, but that was ok.
