Clarion Hotel Portland Airport ME

8/10 Good

"Parking was convenient. Close to the place we needed to be."

Holiday Inn Portland-By the Bay by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This was one of the nicest hotels we’ve stayed in, and we’ve stayed in quite a few. The view from the room was amazing, the staff was very friendly and very helpful for even the smallest questions. They offered information that was helpful to a visitor. One of the best things was the shuttle. It not only goes back-and-forth to the airport, but it will bring you to your dinner reservation and other places on the Peninsula. The staff was so accommodating. I can’t recommend this highly enough."

Aloft by Marriott Portland Downtown Waterfront ME

10/10 Excellent

"Located on commercial st…easy walk to cafes, restaurants, tourist tours. Very clean hotel. Very nice gym. May cater more to families, pool table, board games. Easy set up to grab and go breakfast sandwiches or snacks."

Hilton Garden Inn Portland Downtown Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Good place to stay !"

Portland Harbor Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything from check-in to check-out was wonderful. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The room was nicely decorated, the bed was very comfortable, and the shower pressure was good. There is a "pantry" on each floor with free coffee, tea, pastries, fruit and yogurt in the morning. And in the afternoon they refilled it with cookies and waters. We enjoyed breakfast sandwiches from the restaurant and drinks from the bar. There are plenty of seats in the garden to relax outdoors after a day of sight seeing and shopping. The hotel is in a perfect location right on the corner of two main streets and steps away from shopping, restaurants and the wharf. We had a great experience here and would highly recommend it."

The Weldon Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay. Highly recommend!"

The Docent's Collection at 178 Middle Street
