Top University of Southern Maine Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Portland Downtown - Old Port Square

8/10 Good

"Over priced hotel."

Hampton Inn Portland Downtown - Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was well located, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. However, the bathroom seemed to have a leak, as there were visible water stains on the ceiling. The other downside was the parking. It wasn’t free, and there was no option for self-parking, so you had to use the hotel’s parking service. Other than those issues, we had a pleasant stay and were happy with the overall experience."

Hilton Garden Inn Portland Downtown Waterfront

8/10 Good

"The hotel very nice the room was ok"

Portland Regency Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Perfect location for checking out the Old Port section of Portland and a jumping off spot for venturing south or northeast out of the city. Restaurants on site were really good. Only knock was the coffee in the room was not good. Bland Keurig."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Came to town for one night to attend show @ Thompson's Point. Hotel was clean and convenient . Staff friendly and helpful. Definitely would stay again"

Holiday Inn Portland-By the Bay by IHG

8/10 Good

"The ONLY issue we had was the shuttle from the airport to the hotel. We called several times to be picked up. It never came. We ended up taking the public bus and walk several blocks to our hotel at the end of a very long travel day. Not ideal."

The Westin Portland Harborview

10/10 Excellent

"Room and entire property was clean and well maintained. Staff was nice and helpful. There are two choices for parking: you can park in the garage yourself, just give your plate number at the front desk. You can also leave your car for valet parking in front of the hotel. Breakfast was very good. It’s not a continental breakfast, you order from a menu."

Canopy by Hilton Portland Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay - I would recommend this venue - clean rooms and courteous staff!"

Spotless Victorian on William

10/10 Excellent

"The property was exactly as described! The house was clean and the rooms were accurately described. The kitchen was stocked with essentials and there was a small spice rack. The location was great, not a quick Uber ride or a reasonable walk for those that prefer. The host provided some great recommendations as well. We would rent again."
