"Traveled with kids. We had a connecting room. When I called to request the connecting room I had to call five times to get someone. She was not happy to help. With that said, when we got there the staff was wonderful and cheerful. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The breakfast was meh, but there is a restaurant just down the street that had breakfast sandwiches that were sooooooo good, and they were priced REALLY good. Pool was nice. The area is fantastic. It was 20 minutes from old orchard, funtown, and Portland. Very good price for an inexpensive vacation."

They offered information that was helpful to a visitor. One of the best things was the shuttle. It not only goes back-and-forth to the airport, but it will bring you to your dinner reservation and other places on the Peninsula. The staff was so accommodating.
