We just returned from a great weekend stay at the Portland Sable Oaks Marriott. We wanted a place to take our 4 year old granddaughter who loves staying at hotels. We requested an early check in and had no problem getting it. We arrived at 10:30 and were immediately taken care of in a professional, friendly manner by the desk. The room was furnished nicely with very nice bedding. We had a corner room which made it larger than other rooms on the hall. The room was clean and nonsmoking, as are all rooms at Marriotts.

We used the pool twice during our stay and both times it was very enjoyable. The area was clean and well maintained. There was also a fitness room, sauna and whirlpool/hot tub.

We chose the breakfast weekend and had the usual Marriott breakfast brunch which our granddaughter loved. She though the Marriott was very "fancy" and had a great time. The staff were all very friendly and pleasant to her and us.

We told our granddaughter that we will bring her back again next year.
We do recommend this hotel.

I was a guest of the Portland Convention and Visitors' Bureau and the Portland Marriott at Sable Oaks for Maine Destination Day this past week. I am always happy to stay at a Marriott hotel. The hotel layout designs are often identical to other Marriotts I have stayed in and somehow the predictable decor and room design makes the place seem more like home. The design of this hotel is identical to the one in Peabody, Mass., another good hotel.

The staff at this Marriott is really friendly and made me feel welcome from the moment I entered the property. Lobby area and rooms are spotless and well kept. My room was comfortable and beds filled with an abundance of cushy pillows. Towels and amenities in bathroom plentiful. Water pressure and hot water excellent. Elevators fast and efficient. Lots of TV stations. Blow Drier, Coffee Maker, Clock Radio, Nice Amenities, Everything you need is there.

Marriott is working to keep the environment 'green'...new shower heads to save water and low lighting in bath that comes up to bright after a few minutes if lights are left on...these are only two of the features I noticed.

I had the opportunity to order room service breakfast. It arrived on time with toast still hot! I highly recommend the experience to anybody. I attended a conference in the hotel as well and found the facilities comfortable, and the lunch for 300 people good and reasonably well served.

My experience at this hotel was quite positive. I'd definitely stay here again.

We spent Sat. night (11/3) here in a king room as had a family function in the area the next day. The winds were blowing and it was raining very hard compliments of Noel. We arrived after the 4 p.m. check in and our room was ready. Check in was a breeze and off to our 3rd floor room. The hotel is situated easy off Rt.95 and is in a beautiful setting high on a hill. There are plenty of places to eat and shop at the Maine Mall just down the street. We chose Pizza Uno for a light supper as it was the closest and it was a good choice. The hotel was very busy but the lobby is spacious and laid out well. On Sunday morning they offer a buffet brunch for $12.00 and well worth it. If you need to stay in the area this Marriott is a good choice. Clean and comfortable and check out was also a breeze. Leslie at the front desk was very pleasant as were all the employees we encountered. We would definately stay here again.

Excellent hotel, nicely set up on edge of large golf course. Easy to get to from Maine turnpike and easy to get to downtown Portland and RT295 north (Freeport ME about 25 min away). Near Portland airport.
