Top South Portland Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Portland

10/10 Excellent

"Dining room Eggs Benedict Florentine and home fries were delicious!! Homefries were crispy; like I love them. Pool not working but staff were very helpful to make our stay comfortable, welcoming, and enjoyable."

Courtyard by Marriott Portland Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Close to the airport. Much more reasonably priced than downtown Portland. The man who cooked us breakfast was so nice, and you could tell, really took pride in making us a delicious meal. He was friendly and accomodating. The breakfast food was very good. The only thing I do not care for is having to go to a third party to reserve a room. I much prefer speaking to the hotel staff of the place I am staying. When I was transferred to the "reservation desk" (which was a third party,) they mistakenly reserved me a room in Portland, Oregon! What an ordeal to reach them by phone and reverse the reservation, refund me, and reserve at Portland, Maine hotel."

Casco Bay Hotel Portland Airport - Maine Mall, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great option for crashing after a late flight into PWM. The shuttle came right away after I got it and called, super clean and spacious room and nice breakfast bar in the morning. Would definitely go back!"
