ok
Pros:

good to offer breakfast, we missed your nice restaurant though. Last time we stayed there, we had a great meal

Cons:

the place needs some much needed updates, our ceiling could use a coat of paint, it was dusty from the air conditioning, bathroom shower and vent was very old

Ok for price
Pros:

The rooms have not been updated since roughly 2000. The air-conditioning unit was very loud and it felt like the bed was vibrating based on the air-conditioning units high fan speed. All of that said, I would recommend if you are looking for a reasonable hotel to stay in for a few nights.

Amazing hotel & pool, but sadly horrible tub drain!
Pros:

The swimming pool was amazing, and the staff were very helpful; they gave detailed information about the property and amenities, and they made us feel very welcome.

Cons:

Although our room was clean and comfortable, the shower was awful. The caulking around the tub was moldy, and the drain didn’t work well. The tub slowly filled with water as I showered, and I can’t stand having filthy water from the drain around my ankles. Since we only stayed one night, it wouldn’t have helped us to complain, but I really hate poor drains in hotels!

Great amenities, Great Location, Excellent Staff
Pros:

The Best Western Merry Manor is in an excellent location and has several amenities including a great breakfast, a gym, a heated pool and a hot tub. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay in Portland and it was helpful that we could easily reach both Cape Elizabeth and the downtown area. The history of Portland as a port city is fascinating. We also had the opportunity to visit Peaks Island and ride bikes around the island. My only suggestion is to carefully research parking in the downtown area; it is quite costly. We finally found an outdoor lot that was $25 for a full day near the ferries. Another good in-door lot is on Elm Street(near the library), but they were closed onSunday. I would recommend this Best Western for your next vacation. Some good places to eat were Rodeo (Mexican food), the Tavern near by had great lightly fried haddock.

Mostly ok, but the reason we come is for hot tub
Pros:

Breakfast was great

Cons:

Beds not comfortable. Matress seemed worn out in our room. Room was noisy, right next to pool. Hot tub not working properly. No jets. Then it was not available for most of the next day because they drained it.
