Hotels near Amtrak Downeaster, Portland

Great location tho it wasn't situation in the heart of downtown. Clean and bright room. Due to the covid the housekeeping service wasn't delivered during the 3 nights we stayed. The price was extremely expensive (actually all hotels in the whole Portland). Anyhow, great spacious room and I had a pleasant stay.

Breakfast is a typical American motel breakfast with sausages, bacon, yoghurt, juice, and coffee. The room was tidy, there was no microwave in the fridge, two beds, only one stool. There are enough parking spaces. Nearby is the Hannaford supermarket.

The price/performance ratio is relatively high, suitable for taking children with you. The swimming pool is also good, and the breakfast can be used for two casually.

After traveling most of the day site seeing my husband daughter and myself were exhausted. It is difficult finding a pet friendly hotel and this was the first one we could find for more than an hours ride. When we asked if they had a room we thought great its 7:30 pm we were all exhausted and we actually have a place to stay with my puppy. When we got over to our room just entering into the hallway to go upstairs there was garbage all over the carpet. Ok so I let that go because its a main entrance so I figured through the day things got dropped or whatever. Go up to our room and open the door the first thing i saw was coffee still sitting in the coffee pot. Yuck 🤮 obviously wasn't cleaned. Hubby and I checked the beds to make sure they didn't have bugs that was fine. Sheets seemed ok. On the corners of the bed was all kinds of crumbs. Obviously no vacuum was used. So my teenage daughter wanted to watch TV and guess what it wasn't working. I called the front desk to let her know after trying everything to fix it. The girl at the desk was very pleasant and I dont blame her at all. She did say she was relatively new and would call her supervisor to find out. Well she called me back to tell me she had a message to her supervisor but no one had responded. Ok so no tv whatever. Later I went to shower and noticed the curtain looked off and the rod was barely hanging on the wall. I get in and showered and noticed the tub didn't drain so I had water to my ankles. So now we are all getting ready to go to bed as its been a long day and the darn beds were like rocks. Hard and very uncomfortable. About 2 hrs later my husband wakes up saying he was hot and he is never hot he rarely uses ac. When i got up the ac unit was blowing hot air. Then I realized it kept shutting off through the night. Well maybe some of my complaints are because I was a housekeeper for 4 years but I dont think that's what it is. When we get ready to check out i voiced my concerns and thoughts that they would do something to make it right but instead I got a story about how they hire a cleaning company to clean. Well I will never stay here again nor reccomend it to anyone.

April School vacation we planned a one night stay-cation at the Ramada. I should have known better, being that we live less than a few miles away from the Ramada. But, I unfortunately trusted the 3 star rating. We live near the Clarion hotel and we were looking for step up from that hotel. We were looking a simple hotel that felt safe, clean, decent food, and had a pool. The Ramada failed on all fronts! The only good thing about this hotel is the exceptionally patient staff behind the front desk. This staff has an incredibly hard job. While trying to perform their jobs, they are constantly monitoring unwelcome guests and guest who have been served far too much alcohol at their bar and restaurant. This creates a unsafe space for hotel employees and guests. We were a party of three one adult and two children under the age of 10. My children both expressed feeling unsafe while we were outside of our room. One of many incidents included a very intoxicated man who was a hotel guest at their bar. He came towards us calling my children his children and walked right into a wall, and fell down right in front of them. They have never knowingly seen a drunk person. Now thanks to our stay at the Ramada they have. This was one of many experiences we had that led us to feel unsafe outside of our room. In our room there was a pubic hair on the ice bucket tray. The rooms are dingy and bathrooms feel very worn in and dirty. We made sure our doors were bolted and secure. The doors felt secure with the exception of the patio door but we were on the 3rd floor. We did have dinner at the Seasons restaurant. Skip the food and get dessert. The desserts were really good. The mozzarella sticks we ordered only one actually had cheese in it. The tater tots were freezer burned and you could taste that even though they were smothered in cheese. Finally the pool and hot tubs. Algae around the pool platform allows for an extra slippery surface and of course fungus. The hot tubs were very cloudy and felt a layer of slime on our skin after being in them. The pool lining is lifted in many areas and has a ring of dirt around the interior edges. In the early morning we found a non guest using the pool area to bath. Next time we are looking for a average hotel for a stay-cation that feels safe, clean, decent food and a pool we will choose the Clarion near our house. Or perhaps we will splurge and get a good quality hotel elsewhere in town.

My wife and I came to Portland Maine to visit family. We stayed at the Sheraton Sable Oaks and we were very pleased we did. I would like to thank Chris Merriam Exec Chef for his kind and generous hospitality. What a gentleman! Meg Poulin Sales Manager happened to come by our table just to say hello. Imagine that? And Suzie our waitress took very good care us. Through our conversations we determined that between the three of these wonderful people there was over 90 years of hospitality expeience at this single property. Can you imagine? That ”is” the testament of this matchless property. We...will...be staying there again. Thank you all

It's all fit. Not nice but practical: near the highway and many shopping opportunities next to. Rooms were good, breakfast was nothing special. Bad relatively small, washing basin in the bedroom

I chose this place as a less expensive alternative to hotels in Portland. Also because motels are safer during COVID than hotels (more ventilation because the room opens to the outdoors). First, I want to say my room was clean and comfortable. It's nothing fancy, but you get what you pay for. Also, I had a last-minute change to my reservation and the manager was very accommodating. So, thank you for that. My one non-COVID sort-of complaint is that, while you get a fridge and microwave (nice features), there's no coffee maker in the room. Would be nice to have that instead of the microwave, maybe. My biggest issue is that there were no COVID protocols in place. I went into the office to check in and the office was SEALED. I mean no windows open, door shut. The manager who checked me in was not wearing a mask. Two other guests were in there. I was the only one wearing a mask. And check in still involves filling out a card, even if you book on Booking.com, so it takes several minutes. I was quite eager to get out of there. When I got to my room, I realized he had given me a queen room rather than the king I booked, but I didn't want to go back into the office to request a room change. Then it occurred to me that if the manager wasn't wearing a mask, housekeeping probably didn't either. I kept the door open and opened the windows to air out my room before removing my mask, following what the experts say. Please open your office windows. It was 72 degrees and gorgeous outside. No reason to have everything sealed up.
