What guests think

At Candlewood Suites Portland - Scarborough by IHG, guests like the roomy suites with kitchens, comfortable beds, and the convenient location near the airport and highways, but also note an older property with maintenance issues and occasional noise.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with many clean rooms but recurring complaints about smoke or musty odors, worn furnishings, and several reports of roaches or mold. Amenities such as the lobby store, free laundry, and a small gym are appreciated, though some cite unlocked exterior doors, unkempt grounds, and power outages without a backup generator. There is no on-site breakfast or restaurant, but in-room kitchens support self-catering. Overall, expect convenient, budget-minded space with trade-offs in age and consistency.

Comfortable room, nice kitchen, decent options in the motel store and a grocery store was just down the street. The shower was great. One of the best motels I’ve stayed at in my travels.

Roaches everywhere. First stepping into the bathroom there were 3 baby roaches climbing the walls and the sink. I inspected the rest of the room and roaches were climbing out of the wall outlets, on the kitchen counter, on the walls, and climbing out of the drain in the dishwasher. Disgusting. The staff at the front desk was nice about it and offered a different room however a roast infestation does not just affect one room so I said no thank you. Spent less than 2 hours in the room and could not sleep there so I went elsewhere.

Our room had a window in the kitchen that wouldn't close all the way, it kept letting bugs in. There was mold and an extreme amount of dust and cobwebs around the vent fan in the bathroom. The inner bathroom door wouldn't latches. There was smoke damage in the bedrooms. The other bedroom door wouldn't latch at all. There wasn't any extra bedding for the pull out couch and we had to go across the street to the office to get it ourselves.

The space is great for the room it provides, but the room cleanliness was disgusting. The furniture is full of stains and very used (drawers in kitchen don’t shut, wear and tear on all furniture). The floors were very dirty and sticky. The dishes in the cabinets were not clean either. It’s honestly like nothing besides the beds have ever been room serviced. And even then there were hairs on the comforter at move in. Was very disappointed by the standard of cleaning here and will not stay here again because of this.

The set up was great! Two bedroom suite, the kitchen drawers did not stay closed, the paint on woodwork was peeling around doorways, one bedroom had a window that fully opened but there was no screen (this was the 3rd floor) and was a huge safety hazard... People were nice enough... Policy regarding towels is not guest friendly - room advertises for up to 6 people, but they will only give you towels for 4 people - was told had to bring towels down to exchange but were only allowed 4 towels for the room even though there were 5 of us. Made enough noise and got a 5th towel... Expected more, especially as we came in the off season, but it was pretty okay. We might stay again...

Mostly great. I love that this hotel has a small recliner in each room! Super clean, but some updates needed. The refrigerator in the room made a constant loud clunking noise due to a broken ice maker that wouldn’t turn off, and the bathroom faucet handle kept falling off. Climate control worked well, very comfortable bed and pillows, fast WiFi, functional kitchen area, friendly staff. I would return!

I was OVERCHARGED. The listing on Orbitz stated that there was a pet fee per accommodation. Since most hotels have a fee per pet, and I was traveling with two dogs, I selected this hotel over others. When I arrived late at night, I was informed that the the fee would be per pet, regardless of the listing. Neither the hotel nor Orbitz would honor the terms in the listing, and I had nowhere else to go. I will not be staying here again. The room was fine and generally clean.

We stayed for 6 weeks and had no cleaning services provided. We were long-term stayers and were asked to leave abruptly due to our disabled children being sick with the flu and crying and making a bit of noise around 12:00 am. We apologized and let them know this wouldnt be an issue again but they still told us we needed to go. I felt it was unfair due to our circumstances and that my toddler's were kicked out. Very in human and unkind and inhospitable.

The location of this hotel is very convenient to visit local attractions. The staff was very friendly at check in. The location of the room was great for staying with a dog and was convenient to go outside quickly. We had an incident requiring a new set of linens and the front staff was efficient and expedious in getting this to our room. They were very kind and sympathetic. The room was clean and stocked. I had stayed in another IHG property a few weeks prior and this location was much better, more friendly and accommodating. I would recommend it.
