What guests think

At Comfort Inn South Portland Airport, travelers consistently praise the convenient airport location, friendly staff, clean rooms, and comfortable beds, while noting budget-level expectations, occasional noise from traffic or thin walls, and a basic but adequate breakfast.

The airport shuttle is convenient for early flights, but schedules can be inflexible and some guests report delays or miscommunication. Rooms are compact with very small bathrooms, and some dated hallways or maintenance snags show the property’s age despite pockets of renovation. The location near shopping and dining is handy, and park and fly is a popular option. Overall, it suits budget-minded travelers needing a simple, convenient overnight.

Facilities

Airport shuttle is convenient for early flights, but it runs on a fixed schedule and communication or timing can falter. Parking and park and fly are easy and good value; some common areas and the elevator feel dated.

I chose this hotel for the close proximity to PWM airport and the fact that they had a shuttle and offered parking. Upon check-in I was surprised with an unexpected $10 per day parking fee just to leave my vehicle in their mostly unused and completely un-monitored parking lot, which added over $100 to my total price of staying there. The shuttle was an older vehicle with excessive wear on it and the driver, as nice as he was, wasn't a good driver and kept checking and talking on his phone. The hotel itself is old and dimly lit. The pictures definitely made it look a lot nicer than it actually was. It was very noisy and I could tell they gave me the crappiest room they had just because I didn't book directly with them. The breakfast they offered was pretty sparse and we had to get something at the airport once we got there. My biggest annoyance was that the front desk staff gave me a "direct" phone # to call for the shuttle upon my return and when I got to the airport it took me over 30 minutes and dozens of attempts before someone actually answered the phone and sent the shuttle! I would stay away from this hotel if I were you... I definitely won't be staying there again! We had friends that stayed in the hotel next door and they had a much better experience for almost the same price.

Hotel is very near the airport, which was the purpose of our stay. It was an older hotel, but seemed to be fairly well maintained. The shuttle was very accommodating! It met with our schedule and was very punctual. Definitely a plus!

The motel is close to the airport which is convenient for travel but the late night van services were slow. The van itself is very dirty and shabby. Checking in was fine except my key didn't work the first time. The motel is shabby and dated and loud. The staff is the only thing going for it. The frontdesk manager was very nice.

The biggest complaint I have is the airport shuttle scheduling. Most hotels near PWM either run the shuttle nonstop or as needed. Here it only runs once an hour - so be aware. It was also fairly noisy which sucks if you have to get up at 3:30 am to catch said shuttle. It was also impossible to change the time on the clock in the room as its button was broken and it was stuck on 10:39 pm the entire time I was there. Room was basic but clean which is obviously a plus. The bed was comfortable which is also good. Nonetheless, I’ll be staying someplace else next time.

Four-minute drive to the airport (and they run a shuttle every 30 minutes). No real views, but very convenient location close to Turnpike, Mall, and Airport. Very clean room and common areas, comfortable bed. I couldn't figure out how to adjust the thermostat, but luckily the temperature was fine.

The room was spotless and the bed was more comfortable than my bed at home! The breakfast was adequate, not great. Because the hotel is right beside the highway there is a constant hum of traffic, but the comfort of the bed and cleanliness of the room offset that inconvenience. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Beds were comfortable. Thermostat was a bit hard to work and the battery was low. The bathtub had hairs in it and the bathroom door was filthy, numerous dried splatters on it. One of the pillowcases was stained or had something smudged on it. Overall we were comfortable but a little grossed out.

This property was in good shape. I originally started on the third floor but had to move because I had a pet. I was unaware pets had to stay on the first floor. My third floor room was clean and really nice. The first floor room was not as clean and the hallway smelled like weed. The internet connection was really spotty and slow. It kept knocking me off. You will have a hard time if you're trying to work. Breakfast was good and had the basic amenities/foods. By the end of my three day stay they were running out of options. Overall I would stay again. It was close and convenient to shopping areas and the freeway.

I have to say - I am severely disappointed with the management at this property. When we checked in - Shanice (sorry if spelled incorrectly) was WONDERFUL. We came in early as we drove 6 hours from NJ and she let us check in early and explained the fee of early check in which we had to problem paying. She is a wonderful employee and her service shows it. We were due to check out on Monday the 25th but unfortunately our son ended up in the hospital and we had to leave the 24th. Check out is at 11am and we informed the front desk at 9:30am that we would be leaving. The lady told us that we would not get a refund since we had to tell them by 4pm the night before that we were leaving. I explained that unfortunately we had no idea of knowing that overnight our son in NJ would be sick. We still packed up and headed out. When leaving - I asked the lady if she had the policy written anywhere that she could print for me - she said she couldn’t print it but it was in her system. I contacted Expedia and they approved a refund for us but needed the hotel approval - the hotel denied the refund again. I understand policies but we left before check out so I KNOW they had a chance to clean and resell the room. I am disappointed to know that they have no heart when it comes to unforeseen circumstances. We have a wedding that we are planning in Maine and we were going to reserve a block of rooms here solely based on our experience with Shanice but unfortunately will be going elsewhere.

Martin the front desk clerk was absolutely terrible. I paid for the reservation for my son and his family. After driving over 2 hours with small children, one of them under a year old in the car, he would not allow them to check in because they don’t have a credit card. My son asked him to call me and I would give him my info. He refused to call me. I called him, it is well after midnight at this point. He was not willing to help out. He would not accept my card over the phone even though I paid for the reservation. He offered to email me a form to fill out and return. I had to call him back after 20 mins cuz he did not email it. His response was he was preparing it. I ended up having to email him and him reply before I could get said form. Then the for was not something you can type into to complet had to be printed it’s now nearly 2 am I have no access to a printer. This man was a smart alec the whole time this was going on, as kids are waiting in a car In The cold state of Maine. They had an early morning flight and now had to drive 2 hours back home just to drive back the two hours in the morning. I understand policy but Martin was not even trying to be empathetic to what was going on. He is the most vile individual I have spoken to on the phone. He does not belong in the hospitality industry His attitude is probably why they keep him on overnight so he has little contact with the public.

The gentleman that drives the airport shuttle is a huge asset to your company. Not only did he load my luggage from the lobby (which were very heavy). He took my bags to my room while I was checking in. And if that isn’t enough he retrieved ice for me from the second floor. (An inconvenience for my body). He’s a keeper and deserves a huge raise. Just saying.

I thought I'd probably have to wait in the lobby while a room was prepared for me, but I was given a key to the second room and moved from the first room to the other without delay. Excellent service!

We got here a little early about 11:49am) and asked to use the restroom, then we would come back later. I did explain that we did have a room booked. The lady just said no, barhroom was being cleaned. I could see the bathroom and it was not being cleaned. I think she should have asked for my i.d. , and once confirmed reservation, we use restroom. This was disappointing. However, when we did check in, it was a different staff person and she was amazing. Polite, respectful, charming. I will say this: Iwent down for coffee at 3:15ish and bathroom was being cleaned. So, does this mean the receptionist just did not want to be bothered earlier when we asked to use restroom? We were staying here

I had to drop off a piece of business equipment in NH for repairs, and I could not drive all the way there and back home in the same day. The continental breakfast was extremely basic, and the breakfast area was very small and crowded.
