Clarion Hotel Portland Airport ME
Disappointed in amenities. Breakfast was not fresh, no drinks for kids. Dining room was not open for any meals. I booked here for these options. I specified what I wanted prior to booking.

Check in was a nightmare. Key machine did not work and it took over an hour to get in to a room where the key only worked once. After finally getting in I was assigned a different room as we couldn’t get the key to work.
