Clarion Pointe South Portland

Clarion Pointe South Portland

10/10 Excellent
"At first some of the reviews were a little bit scary not going to lie but this place was really great me and my children and husband loved using the pool. Parking and air conditioning was great, we decide not to have our room cleaned because we were only there for two nights but they were constantly cleaning rooms around us and doing such a great job."

Candlewood Suites Portland - Scarborough by IHG

Candlewood Suites Portland - Scarborough by IHG

8/10 Good
"Outside trash bins over flowing, cigarette butts all over ground, dog feces not cleaned up, sidewalk and gazebo area with lose rock where cement had deteriorated. Not a great visual first impression and not addressed quickly. Nice that rooms have some cookware dishes etc, but would sure be nice to have a small knife to cut instead the big one, Some kitchen shears maybe on a chain screwed into the wall if worried about theft. More information on what is available to purchase or to borrow as those were great, but I did not happen on some of it until I had stayed several days or already purchased items. Would have been nice to be able to purchase some items in small quantity such as a baggie with 3 or 4 packets of catsup, mustard, mayonnaise, salt, pepper and small tubs of peanut butter and jelly. small containers of cooking oil. more than one kind of laundry detergent (some for sensitive skin) dryer sheets. I hated that I ended up throwing away lots of food items due to not being able to buy small enough amounts for my needs from the grocery store."
