Great service at the front desk! Our room was homey, very small. You had to close the door to get into the room as the bed is right at the door. The bathroom was tiny and we are a very small couple. You had to lean to the right to sit on the toilet as the sink is infront of... More

Before our stay started, we had our room changed several times, and eventually ended up in a two bedroom suite. The woman at the desk was nice, and the pool was inviting, but definitely not quiet. Our room (Room 5) was very clean but the bathroom is extremely small. You couldn't get out of the shower without bumping into the... More

My son and I stayed at the Yellow Giraffe just for one night on August 14-15,2012. The place itself was nice and the location was great because you could walk to the beach. We payed around $112.00 for a dounle room with kitchenette. It definitely had a homey feel to it. The only gripe I had about it wa the... More

I booked this place 3 days before the weekend we stayed. Shawna in the front desk was very helpful in leading me to the room that would fit our needs best. The price is incredibly reasonable. Cleanliness is what they "pride themselves on" and they truly live up to that statement. This is no 5 star hotel, it's a perfect... More

We just spent the weekend at the Yellow Giraffe and had a great time, the owners and the staff are very friendly and always available to help you. The owners are out wiping down the tables, chairs, cleaning around the pool area, watering the plants and setting up a breakfast area for their guests to enjoy all before 7:00 am... More

We almost always travel on a budget so were used to staying in 2 star hotelS but this one was pretty crummy. We booked the cheapest room they had... $80 a night. I was so happy to find such a cheap rate in July in such a tourist town. The woman repeatedly stressed on the phone that the room we... More

My husband, granddaughter and I just spent the weekend at the Yellow Giraffe. We stayed in the apartment with two bedrooms, kitchen, living room and small deck. It was very spacious and reminded me of vacations when I was a kid with the older furniture, paneling and decorations adding to the charm. It had air conditioners in each of the... More

My wife and I recently stayed at the Yellow Giraffe and had a wonderful time. The owners are on site and happy to help and accommodate as best they can. The rooms are small but comfortable and the bathrooms make use of every inch and are a bit cramped. The place is nice, clean and comfortable. It's just a short... More

We stayed at the Yellow Giraffe for 2 nights in Aug 08. I chose this motel because it was a central location between Portland and the beach areas and the price was attractive. This hotel must appeal to French Canadians, because most of the guests spoke French. Our room was a Double with a kitchen (but we had no plans... More
