Top Portland Hotel Reviews

Inn at St John Portland In-Town

Inn at St John Portland In-Town

8/10 Good
"I personally found this quirky old hotel to be pretty good. It’s historic and unusual. Beds were good. Breakfast was fine though it’s a cramped space for sitting. It’s not a great location if you want to experience the touristy marina area or walk to a good meal. But you pay a lot more for the hotels over there. My traveling companions were surprised to not have an en suite shower and I heard other guests also bothered about that."

The Westin Portland Harborview

The Westin Portland Harborview

10/10 Excellent
"We loved the Harborview! My husband and I took a mini-getaway to Portland so stayed only one night. I wish we had been there longer. It was a nice, clean room with a comfortable bed, and the view was GREAT. Every staff person we encountered was lovely and helpful. I have to say, the elevators were blazing fast. Maybe that's a weird thing to notice, but it was kind of great! No waiting! We ordered room service after plans unexpectedly changed, and it was delicious. Also, the breakfast at the cafe on site was also delicious. My only complaint is that the showers are the rainfall kind, which I hate. But that's not enough for me to get bent out of shape about. Our whole stay was just great and I can't wait to go back! Oh, also, rooftop bar is great! Just closes a bit early. Still, overall the whole place gets an A+ from me."
