It is new facility, open 4 months ago. All clean and well organized. Only thing to remember is there is no daily cleaning or change of towel or bed sheets by staff. You have to pay additional fees for cleaning services. It is all DIY.
If you are planning for short stay or doesn't require cleaning services, this hotel is excellent.

Amazing place to stay going to stay here again
Verified traveler
It was great
Matthew
No frills just good clean property with nicely laid out rooms. Good value.
Tamara
Bel hôtel très propre et pratique pour les longs séjours. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le secteur avec toutes les commodités à seulement quelques minutes (Costco, Target, Walmart, centre commercial, etc.). Le personnel est extrêmement serviable et disponible pour les clients.
Gabriel
Stayed here with my wife and really enjoyed our stay. The room was immaculately clean when we arrived. It was spacious, everything was new and the bed was super comfortable. The location is great as well, only a 12 minute drive to Portland and many restaurants and grocery stores in Scarborough. The price was also great! Highly recommend this stay!
David
We enjoyed staying at this location. The room was clean and spacious. The bed was very comfortable. We loved this place
Theresa
The kitchen was very efficient. The full size fridge was very handy.
There is no can opener , so make sure to bring one with you.
Only complaints
The hallway smelled of fish my whole stay but luckily not in my room.
I said I would checkout between 9-10 Noone should be opening my room door before 9. It woke up my travel companion.

The air conditioner was working well. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The toilet paper holder was broken, and wouldn't stay in place, and the neighbor upstairs was extremely noisy throughout the night. It would have been nice to have had instructions on how to run various appliances such as air heater/cooler, coffee maker, password to Wifi, etc. I wasn't quite sure how the pre-check in, online key, and check-out of room. Overall, It was a good stay, well-appointed room, and enjoyed our stay overall. Thank you!
Mathieu
Vraiment un bel hôtel avec beaucoup d’équipements. Pensez à télécharger votre code QR. Le check-in est fait sans personne à l’accueil. Quand on n’a pas de réseau, ça peut être compliqué, mais pour le reste, rien à dire.
Daniel
Nice new property with clean, functioning rooms.
Staff not well trained, though: Cleaning personnel in the way in the hallways and unapologetic about it. Front desk crew mostly heads-down.

Excellent value. Exceptionally clean and fresh. Front desk friendly. Definitely would stay again.
George
Clean, quiet, good access to highway and to Portland.
Ellen
Hotel is great. Well located, new, spacious rooms. It was great having washers and dryers on site, but thought $5 a load was a bit high. The staff was friendly, but not as informed as I believe they should have been. I asked if you open the dryer to remove something will the cycle continue when the door is closed. The staff person I talked to did not know and said I'd probably have to pay again. (side note - you can open the dryer, close it and the cycle continues). We also had trouble with the TV remote control not working. All in all, it was a good stay.
Sara
Very clean! Nice features and amenities. I didn’t see any staff members at all due to our late arrival, early departure, and the digital check in so I can’t speak about customer service. The only thing I definitely didn’t like was the climate control which was like an old hotel unit in the window not a wall thermostat. It blew all night she was hard to get it adjusted right.
Richard
Shower pressure was pretty low, waited at the front desk for about 10 to 15 minutes before I saw a single staff member to check me in. Other than that, it was a good day. The prices were good and I enjoyed the room.
Audry
Bug-infested rooms, indifferent staff, avoid at all costs
We checked in on July 3rd and discovered bugs on the bed, on the walls, and in the bathroom — every surface in the room was infested. We were traveling with our dog and were genuinely frightened about exposing her to whatever this was.
When we reported it to the front desk, the response was almost unbelievable: the attendant offered to “come up and make the bed,” as if this were a housekeeping inconvenience rather than an infestation. No apology was offered at any point — not when we reported it, not when we checked out.
We ended up leaving at 11 PM and scrambling to find last-minute accommodations elsewhere. Photos of the bugs are attached. This is a basic sanitation failure. Do not stay here!!!

If you’re traveling with a dog, make sure that you know you’ll be charged additionally after you check in.
Brian
When your on vacation but want a home feeling place to sleep or relax this is 100% the place.
Jacqueline

Jonathan
Great place to stay. Don’t hesitate.
KELLY
Amazing concept! Great room
Deborah
This is a nice hotel. Staff is nice and helpful. Room was great with living area, kitchen, stovetop and separate bedroom. I really liked the room. Comfy bed.
Boon Siew
Brand new hotel so everything was clean and what you would expect of a new facility. Room is very well designed for an extended stay. Murphy bed (didn't have a chance to test it out) in separate living room / kitchenette would be great for a small family. Conveniently located close to PWM, restaurants and shops.
Julie
Très belle Hotel la plus propre et confortable pour être pres du old orchard et la ville de Portland bien situé !! Impeccable
Jennifer
Stay was great. Room suited our needs. My only complaint is that there were 3 of us staying in the room. After a long day of travel we all wanted to shower and discovered there were only 2 towels in the room. I thought perhaps they made a mistake and didn’t realize there were 3 of us when they cleaned the room. I mean 2 towels even for 2 people staying for 3 nights seemed inadequate. When I reached out reminding them there were 3 of us and 2 towels they stated their policy was 2 towels per room regardless of occupancy. Huh? If that is their policy it’s ridiculous. But regardless, in my opinion the only response should have been…apologies. Let us get you more right away. We got more towels but I didn’t live the way it was handled.
Ashley
Beautiful & wonderful new motel. Finishes & room were beautiful! The bed & sheets were amazing, the AC worked great & we slept so good! We loved the fact that we never saw an employee! 😆 We could check in from our phone and then downloaded an app that had our room key & checked out from our phone. It was so easy! Definitely would recommend this place!
Jennifer
There is no staff on property, not a big deal. The room was super nice. I did however find a dirty facecloth hanging in the shower curtain. I only stayed one night so I just set it aside. Other than that, room was amazing, clean, smelled great. Soft sheets. Was what I needed for one night. Great price as well.
Tammy
Great place to stay
Vanessa
HomeAwhile completely changes the hotel game, the living room attached to the room was the best perk because when my sleeping boyfriend wanted to sleep I could wander off and hang in the living room.
The staff were all so extremely helpful and so extremely nice. Nikki especially did an amazing job with keeping up with any demands or questions we had.
A few things that were a bit annoying but had no change in the way I felt about my stay, were the laundry is a bit pricey at $5 per cycle, the vending machines were a bit pricey as well and the remote in the living room area lagged really bad where it was hard to watch tv. We also unfortunately didn’t get house keeping but from what I understood they were a bit under staffed so we did have to give the poor house keeper a mountain of towels.
Water pressure wasn’t crazy good but still decent enough with plenty of hot water.
The tub is huge enough to bathe in as well.
Overall, if you’re traveling alone, with a partner or family the amenities alone like the full size fridge and dishes came extremely handy, they had huge closets for all your stuff and a cute little flat top stove top that came super handy as well.
10/10 would recommend for anybody traveling or staying in Portland, short term or long term. Great price for a week as well and they were super accommodating with my need to maybe extend due to flight delays.
We had an amazing time and will definitely be back.
Thank you HomeAwhile staff.

Hannah Rose
This was an excellent place to stay during our 5-day trip to Portland. All staff were incredibly kind and helpful. Emily, the manager, was so sweet and gave us a great list of things to do on our first day. The room was spacious and clean, as was the surrounding property, and its location to the airport and highways was perfect for us. Would love to stay here again!
Richard
The facility was new clean and overall awesome!
Jamie
Room was immaculate. They had items that I forgot in a vending machine in the lobby. Check in was done on a kiosk. Love it.
Scott
Super clean because it was new, and nicely done rooms with great amenities. Bed was comfortable and the large tv's were great. The a/c unit cycled up and down and didn't seem adequate for an apartment sized room but did OK. The water wasn't hot enough regardless the time of day but you won't freeze. In the handicap accessible shower, water will go everywhere in the bathroom and cause a slip hazard. If your room is by the secondary exit, you will hear everything in the stairwell and the door slamming everytime. We would still stay again, just little issues that shouldn't exist in a new construction unit.
Josée
WoW!!! Just perfect, everything, highly recommend *****
Stacey
The room was very spacious and clean. The staff were very friendly and accommodating.
Nancy
Very pleasant place to stay—loved the kitchen. Parking was a little sparse, but really, my only complaint was that the hallway lights were obnoxiously bright. I’d definitely stay here again!
louis
when in Portland you must stay there
Orville
Excellent room, but no one came by to clean in 4 days
Theresa
This was our 1st visit and it was exceptional. We'll be back.
Lindsay
This property was so reasonably priced especially for all the amenities included. The room was an apartment style setup with a nice living room area and large bedroom. The kitchen area was convenient with a hot top, refrigerator, and dishwasher. The communication with the staff was great especially when my arrival was delayed. I would highly recommend this property and would stay again in the future.
Reny

My first time staying at HomeAwhile Great staff and accommodating. I met my extended family from Canada to spend some quality time together. My room had everything I needed. Kitchenette and tv area was perfect to hangout..Spacious and beautiful room. I look forward to visiting again..
Torie
Our stay unfortunately was not as great as we hoped it would be. The room we were in was right under the stairs and we heard people running in and out all night long. Many people stomping around above us into the early hours of 2am. The tv in our room was not working. I contacted the front desk and they had it reset but it still did not work well after that. The air conditioner in the room kept clicking all night long and would make a random bang. To say the least we did not have a good night sleep for the overnight we needed.
Stefani
Same excellence as last time except the early day links were all worked out on the technology side.
Samantha
Great place to stay, everything you could need!
Tina
King suite for an overnight was great. Bed was comfortable and the room was amazing. Well appointed 😊
Devin
Very clean rooms!
Emily
Hotel was very new and clean. Nikki (I believe is her name) the operations manager was FANTASTIC when Doordash delivered my food to the wrong hotel next door and even called over for me and offered to go get it for me. Because this hotel is so new, it sends Doordash to the Homewood Suites next door because it doesn't show up on their map. I will definitely be staying here again!
Joshua
