A pair of South Portland motels hope to overturn the City Council’s decision to shut them down.
The Portland Press Herald reports the lodging establishment licenses for the Maine Motel and The Knights Inn on Route 1 expire May 31. David Lourie, the attorney for the two motels, is seeking a temporary restraining order to keep the motels open beyond that date.
The motels are facing shutdown over alleged drug-related activity and prostitution.
