What do you think of the four-story, 80-room Microtel hotel coming to North Windham?
Theresa Foster, 45, Casco
“You’ve got so many small hotels doing well. It would be like Wal-Mart coming in and putting all the little guys out of business. My main concern is the small motels because they’ve been here so long. It’s sad to see it happen.”
Cindy St. Pierre, 52, Raymond
“I think it’s great. It would be good for tourists. But the traffic will be bad. But if they’re going to come, they’re going to come. It’ll give them a place to stay.”
Cathy Belmore, 53, Windham
“I think it’s extravagant for the area. Maybe Portland, but not North Windham.”
Norm Works, 46, Gray
“Why wouldn’t we want one? Sounds like Bill Gates is behind it.”
Peter Walgreen, 59, Raymond
“I think four stories is fine, six stories would be too much. I have clients who come to town and sometimes I send them to local motels and nothing is available.”
Sue Gillis, 47, Casco
“It’s going to look out of character. But, whatever, I’m open-minded.”
