Nice for a quick stopover in Portland

We had a stop on our drive home from bar harbor back to nj. It was a nice affordable option near Portland we could stay there and less than 20 min to drive downtown. Check in was fast and friendly, hotel seems kinda dated style wise but it made it more charming since it was dated but still clean and cared for.
