Clarion Hotel Portland Airport ME

Quality Inn & Suites South Portland
"The staff was friendly and let us check in about an hour early. However the hotel is sorely in need of a good cleaning as well as paint to refresh and actual repairs to the property. If I had other choices I would not return for those reasons."

Portland Harbor Hotel

Clarion Pointe South Portland
"The pictures on the website are misleading, the hotel is not that nice. They have the TVs setup for streaming, but the internet connection is SO SLOW that it was impossible to watch TV. Breakfast was ok. If possible, I would recommend spending the extra money and avoiding this hotel!"
