La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Portland DT/Maine Med

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Portland DT/Maine Med

10/10 Excellent
"The room clean and the property was well kept. The included breakfast was solid for a hotel breakfast. My only complaints would be that we didnt have hand soap which took a few tries to track down because the desk staff was away when we came back late night, the other complaint is the elevator door is scary loud but it functions properly, just something wonky with the door"
