Top Maine College of Art Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Portland Downtown Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Great location to everything…the pier, shopping, excursions! Love the bakery that is right next door!!"

Cambria Hotel Portland Downtown-Old Port

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were nice, friendly, and accommodating. They offer a 25$ voucher per room per night which is nice"

Inn at St John Portland In-Town

8/10 Good

"The inn itself was beautifully kept. The water pressure was great. There was plenty of hot water except very early in the morning (before 6am). I didn’t walk in the area but if I had too, I wouldn’t feel comfortable in the evening. There was parking behind the hotel and I was lucky to get a spot both nights that I was there otherwise you would have to park in their other lot somewhere around the corner. They had lemon water, fruit, cookies, tea and coffee out all the time. The included breakfast was just an easy grab a toasted bagel and go. Nothing special but it was a nice offer. The beds were soft, the AC worked well and our room was very large. Our room was on the second floor, no elevator and extremely steep steps, but staff was always available to help with bags or luggage. Overall, a very nice stay and less expensive than closer to town."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Portland DT/Maine Med

10/10 Excellent

"The room clean and the property was well kept. The included breakfast was solid for a hotel breakfast. My only complaints would be that we didnt have hand soap which took a few tries to track down because the desk staff was away when we came back late night, the other complaint is the elevator door is scary loud but it functions properly, just something wonky with the door"
