The Motel 6 in Portland has been shut down due to health violations five years after it began taking in homeless people and illegal immigrants.
“There were what I can only assume were homeless people walking in to use the microwave and drink the free coffee. There were shady people loitering in the parking lot and lobby. There was what I believe to be a social worker filling out forms with and handing out food and supplies to homeless people in the lobby. When we arrived the bathroom floor was wet with human hair spread out over the floor,” said one 2021 review of the location on TripAdvisor.
Following a March health inspection, the city determined that the motel is infested with cockroaches, and revoked the lodging licenses for all but five of its 128 rooms.
The company is required to remedy the living conditions of the 123 unlivable rooms by July 1, but the immigrants living in those rooms currently will be allowed to stay until then.
One immigrant staying in the hotel told News Center Maine that the living conditions were so bad that she wanted to go back to her home country of Angola.

We’ll leave the light on for ya!.....................
Dogs carry their fleas wherever they go.
I'd chip in for her one-way ticket back to Angola.
“The company is required to remedy the living conditions of the 123 unlivable rooms.”
Idiot reporter doesn’t even know how to spell taxpayers are. It’s not spelled company is.
Now it’s probably a Motel 2.
Let’s go Brandon!
Let’s go Democrats!
I’ve heard well-meaning liberal stooges talk about taking abandoned shopping malls and turning them into communities for homeless people.
While the “idea” is laudable it’s difficult to get them to comprehend how the habits and behaviors that caused the majority of those people to end up in their situations will quickly turn these locations into toxic super-fund cleanup sites.
Motel Hell
The marvel is that it lasted five years.
The US has been turned into a dump.
Stayed there years ago and it was so so;
later it made news as a murder victim had been found there. Some Motel 6s are ok, modern and clean (Wilkes Barre PA) while others are shoddy, lousy parking lots. I found doing Quality Inn, Econo, etc was better.
A 6 in Braintree MA got shut down some years back (2 cops shot, one fatally as restraining order was being served.
Homeless, poor, illegals put up at various motels across US via tax money.
Yes, every community has them, run down motels that take medicaid money to house mentally ill homeless in the communities.
looked up—murder victim was shot elsewhere then body was left in an
abandoned car in the M6 lot—it was
there for weeks (Portland ME location)
Can i just ask, how hard is it to have roaches in a cold weather area? Longtime Florida resident wants to know after moving to Colorado, AND THERE’S VERY FEW BUGS.
Y’all gotta be really filthy. ….
Granted Maine waited 5 years but the ones around here have been operating unmolested for 20+ years. Its wild reading the reviews of travelers who end up in these places in a pinch.
Closing literal “money” quote:
“According to information provided to News Center Maine, 66 families were staying in the hotel as of Tuesday, meaning that, every year that the motel houses that many families, taxpayers pay $5,108,400.”
I went to college in Florida, and our daily workout started the second we woke up-... swatting cockroaches away!
