Hilton Garden Inn Portland Downtown Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Comfy beds great location…clean…fast valet Awestome staff"

Cambria Hotel Portland Downtown-Old Port

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was incredible and accommodating! Took the family and dog and we were not disappointed. We didn't take the car from the valet once over the course of a couple of days and just enjoyed walking around the old port area. The only minor gripe would be the hotel's restaurant which was underwhelming and pricey for what you get."
