Top Big Beach Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn Portland Downtown - Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome location and friendly staff. Clean and well maintained. Within walking distance to everything"

Portland Harbor Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"There is a $35 per day amenities charge to your room. You can use it for drinks, food at the hotel. But if you don't use it, they still charge you. It's a great hotel, great location. That charge was a surprise to me. They did tell me about it when I was checking in, but I don't remember seeing it while searching for the hotel. But I did love my stay. I'd stay there again."

Residence Inn by Marriott Portland Downtown/Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"The entire facility was very clean and well maintained. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They assisted us with an issue in our room with the air conditioning and resolved it quickly. The breakfast buffet had many nice options. We would absolutely stay here again."

Willard Beach Area 2-Bedroom Apartment with Full Kitchen

10/10 Excellent

"The host was friendly, responsive and accommodating. The location was great for visiting Portand and the lighthouses. The place was very clean and cute, perfect for what we needed. An added bonus was a coupon for a great local bakery."
