Candlewood Suites Portland - Scarborough

Very nice hotel

We came here to leave our house with no power. The hotel does not have generators so we are crossing our fingers that nothing happens. As I have a child and we are not interested in being with no hear.

Outside doors were unlocked into separate building to rooms. Missing cabinet door and door handles. Hallway smelled of cigarettes.

This Candlewood suites was the most attractively priced hotel in greater Portland, but in the end, I should have paid more and stayed somewhere else. To be fair, I was in the area for a work trip but also bringing along a girlfriend and trying to impress her with a trip to Portland. This hotel did not impress her. The staff was friendly. No question. The outside looked great. But the inside common areas signaled right away that this wasn’t the boutique hotel experience I had dreamt of. Floors needed to be vacuumed, carpet actually needed to be replaced, and lots of bagged room trash in the hallways. The room was fine but the furniture was beat up, the bathroom was dusty and the toilet seats slid around. On the plus side, the laundry machines were free. I think I just can’t get over how much a hotel room costs in New England and the price was effectively telling me to expect this. In the end, my girlfriend and I felt perfectly safe and happy getting cozy in our suite. We had a good laugh about everything else. Was this a fine place to stay? Sure. But next time, I would spend more money.

Mild on the walls ,stains on the furniture and curtains ,broken soap dispensers dirty walls

We needed a two room suite, so that was good. Staff was excellent. Rooms were clean but kind of a funky layout. Road traffic was very load. Would have been nice to have restaurant service within walking distance.

No breakfast. The door to the building was not locked, anyone can have access into the building. That’s so unsafe.

Staff was friendly and helpful! Enjoyed staying here with my family

Definitely not cleaned well: kitchen counter was dirty, and the bathroom is a bit disgusting. No counter space in the bathroom. The bed was very soft and uncomfortable. It was quite and the gentleman at the front desk was very efficient.
