The Spotlight on Quality Inn & Suites South Portland

Comfortable, Convenient & Budget-Friendly Base Near Portland

Modern yet cozy, Quality Inn & Suites South Portland is a no-fuss stay just off I-95 and minutes from downtown Portland. Whether you're in town for a big show or looking to explore the coastal city vibe, this hotel offers easy access, essential comfort, and a quiet retreat after a night of live music. With free WiFi, a daily continental breakfast, and warm-toned rooms equipped with cable TV and work desks, it's a reliable and affordable place to recharge.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a smart pick for music fans thanks to its proximity to downtown Portland—just over six miles away—which puts you within easy reach of popular concert venues without the downtown prices. After the show, return to a quiet, non-smoking property that’s removed from the late-night city noise. With a 24-hour front desk, late arrivals are no problem, and you're not far from late-night dining spots or rideshare pickups.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends splitting a room and saving on transport
- Solo concert-goers checking off a dream tour stop
- Couples making a weekend of it without breaking the bank
- Fans who want a peaceful recovery space after a loud night
- Budget-conscious travelers who prefer simplicity and convenience

Food and Drink Options

No on-site restaurant, but you won’t go hungry. The hotel offers a daily continental breakfast—ideal if you were out late and need a slow start. For dinner or a post-show bite, there are several walkable restaurants nearby, including local favorite Chicago Dogs. Dock’s Seafood, a casual New England spot, is just under 2 miles away. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the area provides enough variety for every craving.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t feature a bar or live music, you're only a short drive from Portland’s buzzing nightlife. Head downtown for craft beer bars, cocktail lounges, and late-night bites. Or take it easy and bring the afterparty back to your room.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the hotel’s cleanliness, friendly staff, and value for money. Travelers like that it's close to the highway yet still quiet, making it easy to get in and out of town. Many mention the free breakfast as a welcome perk before heading home.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are basic and some furnishings could use an update, but most guests agree it's a fair trade for the price. If you're expecting luxury, you might want to look elsewhere—but if you're here for the tunes, it does the job.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want an affordable, quiet, and convenient place to crash near Portland’s music scene, Quality Inn & Suites South Portland hits all the right notes.

Poor, don’t recommend

Liked: I liked the location and the staff was kind.
Disliked: Only had three sets of towels when arriving, needed 5. We stayed for two nights. I had requested extra towels the first night. I was told they outsourced there linen service and never received extra towels at all. I had to go purchase my own at the local Walmart so we could all wash. BOTH nights! Also utilized the pull out bed I. The dining room in our suite and was never given sheets or blankets due to the same reason as the towels. Also floors were sticky, and dirty. Bathroom had no ventilation fan, it was even more sticky in the bathroom. Room was not wheel chair accessible even after requesting a room that’s wheelchair accessible. Huge lip of concrete to get into doorway very unsafe for wheelchairs. Was not a pleasant stay to say the least. Never will recommend this place.

Don’t book a room here....

Liked: Nothing at all
Disliked: Everything. Our room had not been cleaned in months. Even the toilet had mildew stains. No handles on the sink. Dirty sheets full of dog hair. Counters were filthy. We didn’t even use the shower it was so gross. And it’s heavily dowsed in strong laundry fragrance to cover it up. don’t stay here. Not even worth $10

Avoid this disgusting, overpriced excuse...

Liked: The location is easy access to downtown, airport, highway, but nothing about this property is likeable.
Disliked: Absolutely disgusting property. There is a toxic chemical smell as soon as you walk in the door which is ironic because nothing at this property appears clean. The walls and carpets are dirty and beat up leading to the rooms. Inside the rooms, every surface was covered in dust and other people's hair. The linens appeared to be clean but otherwise this place is disgusting. I spoke to the front desk attendant and she gave me a blank stare. No apology or attempt to make things right/clean. I asked for a manager and told was told there wasn't one available. In no reality is this place worth $270 a night!

Disgusting

Liked: Convenient to activities
Disliked: Filthy! The tub was marred with soap scum. The carpets were gooey with dirt. Sink had debris like toothpaste all over it. Toilet was sticky. Room needed a good dusting. Fingerprints were all over the doors, walls, surfaces, lamps, phone and switches. There was sticky drink rings left on surfaces. There was no chair. Paper cups appeared used. I had to wipe everything down first.

Very disappointing, unwelcoming, but a...

Liked: Easy to find, great location
Disliked: Heavy heavy use of air freshener, fabric cleanser… hair hanging out of bathroom hinges. Black hairs scattered across bed sheets. Had to get new bedding in order to stay. Mo staff at desk for checkout, just a sign saying not available
