La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Portland DT/Maine Med
Property was nice, good amenities if I had time to enjoy them. Unfortunately, my room was so cold when arriving. Temp was set at 60! Switched it to heat and it smelled like something was burning so I turned it off. The refrigerator was so loud that I had to unplug it to get any sleep.
