Clarion Hotel Portland Airport ME
Breakfast doesn’t even start until 7. We had to leave before that. Many people stay for business and are gone by then. Also it was very cold and icy. The parking lot was pure ice and there was no salt or sand put down. We both almost landed on our faces and we had 2 children with us.
