Top Fort Preble Hotel Reviews

Portland Regency Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Choose this hotel for the excellent location and proximity to things downtown not for a high end experience. This hotel has a great walkable location, was comfortable, and relatively clean. It needs some updating but we were only there to sleep so didn’t mind."

The Westin Portland Harborview

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel, nice staff. Good location in Portland. As with most cities, evidence of local homeless population is obvious. Parking garage is next door and very convenient."

Hilton Garden Inn Portland Downtown Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Great location!"

Aloft by Marriott Portland Downtown Waterfront ME

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel stay was very pleasant. It was one of my stops on my 10 day trip from Boston to Bar Harbor, Maine, and I will say that it was my favorite hotel that I stayed at (out of the 4). The pros: -Ideal location: Walking distance to Old Port (best part of Portland IMO), SO MANY delicious food options that you can walk to, tons of shopping nearby, water views, etc. -Convenient shuttle available at the front desk that will drive you anywhere withing a 5 mile radius, you just have to coordinate with the driver ahead of time. -Microwave and sink available in the lobby--convenient if you have left overs or want to wash your water bottle. -Laundry room available on the second floor--this was a life saver because I under packed and was able to do a load of laundry to take me through the rest of the trip. It did cost a total of about $8/$9 to get the detergent and to pay for the washer and dryer cycle (cash only). -Great gym amenity! I utilized the gym twice. It had what I needed to do both upper body and leg day! -Lastly, the most important: It was very clean! I have high standards when it comes to cleanliness and am super picky with hotels and this one was very clean & well maintained! The Cons: -The overnight parking is expensive ($40 per night). We opted out and instead drove to a lot that was on Commercial street--Angelo's Acres Parking Lot. This was only $5 per day/night! Saved ourselves 35$! If you are traveling solo, just be careful walking to this at night."
