Top Downtown Portland Hotel Reviews

Aloft Portland Downtown Waterfront ME

10/10 Excellent

"Easy and friendly check in. Took my corgi Cosmo and he was over the moon to greet the staff. Hotel Parking was full when I arrived but they gave me a few other options and one was MUCH cheaper. "

The Westin Portland Harborview

10/10 Excellent

"A fine location with nice rooms and helpful staff. The bar on the 15th floor has a nice view of the harbor and pretty good draft beer. Don't order food - or at least the tots as the serving size is meager and quality very low. Not to mention the high cost. Like many cities, Portland does struggle with issues of housing and, sometimes associated, drug use. The Westin area of town does has abundance of both of these issues. We NEVER felt threatened but some might be uncomfortable in this area."

Hilton Garden Inn Portland Downtown Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay here on a business/pleasure trip - 2 nights - along my America's Blue Highway Tour. VERY helpful, happy and eager staff. Room had an awesome view, was clean and comfortable. Proximity to walking the town super convenient. Enjoy your stay!"

Hampton Inn Portland Downtown - Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was great, lots of good options. The parking was frustrating, I definitely did not look at the fact that there was only valet and that it was 40$ a night. Never having been to portland I had not realized the extent of paying to park in the area."
