Top Portland Observatory Hotel Reviews

Portland Harbor Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel. Room was comfortable. $35 dollar a day amenity charge that was unexpected-use in restaurant. $45 dollar a day valet parking in attached garage. Elevator slow and needs cleaning. Good location to seafront restaurants."

Portland Regency Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Room was spacious and fairly quiet. Location was great for exploring Portland."

Cambria Hotel Portland Downtown-Old Port

10/10 Excellent

"Nice and clean hotel with friendly staff. We went the last week of August and didn’t have a problem finding street parking at all. Valet is $40 if you don’t want to bother with looking for parking."

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"

Vintage Maine & Modern Convenience in Portlands Exclusive East End

10/10 Excellent

"This is a solid apartment located between downtown and the Eastern Promenade. A relatively short flight of stairs to a 2 BDRM apartment. Good-size bedrooms, a nice living room, and a solid, clean, albeit somewhat utilitarian kitchen. Intelligent modifications to the bathroom to make it more usable. Good communications and easy check-in. The apartment is located on the side of Munjoy Hill between downtown and the water views of Cisco Bay. A 10 /- minute walk to downtown and all the restaurants and shops that Portland offers and a bit less to the Eastern Promenade. Which, truth be told, is spectacular."

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."

The Docent's Collection at 121 Middle Street

10/10 Excellent

"We had two amazing stays at Docent 178 and Docent 121. Beautiful apartments situated in the heart of Old Port, Portland. You are in walking distance to some of the best food found in Maine. The staff were also incredibly helpful and one text message away. Maine in the summer is expensive, but if you are going to spend on hotels anyway, might as well do it with Docent!"
