The Spotlight on Motel 6-Portland ME

Affordable Convenience Close to Portland's Music Action

Modern essentials meet budget-friendly comfort at Motel 6-Portland ME. Situated just off Interstate 95, this colorful and no-frills motel puts you around 4.5 miles from downtown Portland's thriving concert scene, while offering a quiet place to crash after the encore. With free basic WiFi, 24-hour front desk service, and a pet-friendly policy, it’s a solid pick for travelers who want to keep things simple and save more for merch and tickets.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and Motel 6-Portland ME delivers with quick highway access and a short drive to Portland’s top music venues. After a late-night show, you’ll appreciate the 24-hour front desk and easy parking. While it’s not in the heart of the action, that distance helps keep things quiet for post-concert recovery. Plus, late check-in (from 3:00 PM) makes arriving after a gig stress-free.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a cost-effective base
  • Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list performance
  • Couples wanting a no-fuss weekend away
  • Fans craving a quieter night’s sleep after the crowd clears
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who prefer to save for the show

Food and Drink Options

While the motel itself doesn’t have on-site dining, it’s a short drive to local diners, fast food, and casual restaurants. For those late-night cravings, nearby spots offer quick bites until midnight. You won’t find 24/7 room service here, but the motel’s location near town means you’re not far from a hearty breakfast the morning after.

Nightlife Options

You won’t find live music on-site, but downtown Portland’s bars, breweries, and live venues are less than 15 minutes away by car. Whether you’re catching a show or heading out for post-concert drinks, you’re close enough to join the scene—and far enough to sleep through it.

What People Say

Guests often highlight the motel’s affordable rates, clean rooms, and friendly staff. Reviews on Booking.com and TripAdvisor mention the easy access to downtown and simple check-in process. Travelers appreciate the pet-friendly policy and the convenience of free parking for road trippers.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a luxury stay—expect basic furnishings and limited in-room amenities. Some guests note that the WiFi can be spotty and that the motel shows its age in places. If you’re after plush bedding or boutique decor, this might not be your scene.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a simple, affordable place to sleep near Portland’s music venues, Motel 6-Portland ME hits all the right notes.

Booking.com is not worth the...

Liked: Quick checkin
Disliked: For starters, everything was broken—the elevator was stuck, no cable tv, no remote to work the tv (had it been working), the deadbolt on the door, the ac kept shutting off, and the room I received was not what was advertised. All in all, this was the third time I’ve had a terrible experience booking with this app. Y’all need to do better or at least the BARE MINIMUM

Didn’t stay! Worst service

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: One of the Worst experiences I have ever encountered. Check in my toilet doesn’t flush only for front desk to want to give me a plunger for the night. Wouldn’t give me a new room. Wouldn’t refund me my money was told I had to come back the next day to talk to the manager. Good thing I called before driving there again manager doesn’t work on Sundays. Finally got a hold of the manager, she did give me a refund! I would never book with this hotel again or recommend. Also when I walked in it smelt horrible.
