Top Merrill Auditorium Hotel Reviews

AC Hotel Portland Downtown/Waterfront, ME

8/10 Good

"Weather was amazing, hotel was perfect location for us. It wasn’t too crowded, and the staff was very polite, even though host knew where we were from, which was cool!"

Hilton Garden Inn Portland Downtown Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in a perfectly maintained hotel. Would go back in a heartbeat."

The Docent's Collection at 121 Middle Street

8/10 Good

"Immaculate furnishings, hardware, linens, etc. More a rental apt or upscale AirBNB than an inn. Fine if that is what you were expecting. I was expecting more atmosphere (sterile) and service (minimal}. Indifferent rating for service reflects a combination of staff belaboring obvious points on check in while being unresponsive on follow-up. Example: wanted to leave my bag there after an early checkout so I could spend a few hours around town prior to moving on. That proved too difficult…might as well have been dealing with robots."

The Westin Portland Harborview

10/10 Excellent

"Our family of 4 had a great experience!"

Inn at St John Portland In-Town

8/10 Good

"We absolutely adored the 18th century architecture and charm of the Inn. What wasn’t quite that “5” for us was the continental breakfast offering and having our shower/toilet in separate rooms."

The Press Hotel, Marriott Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful and clean hotel with easy walking access to all of Portland"

Portland Regency Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Excellent location, great front of house staff. Historical building. Well designed rooms. Shuttle from airport."

The Docent's Collection at 178 Middle Street

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful room and location. Didn't really use the amenities"

Hyatt Place Portland Downtown - Old Port Square

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful and pleasant."
