I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn by the bay in Portland Maine. It was an excellent experience and not terribly expensive for booking. I loved how the staff was able to upgrade my room just from checking in alone. Recommend anyone passing by to at least stay here just for the heck of it if you got time and money to spare.

Great location. On a hill so that you can see the Bay from many rooms. Close walking distance to both the Old Port area and restaurants and venues on State Street. Spacious rooms. Only complaint was that the parking garage was completely full so we had to park in a hotel owned garage next door.

We only stayed for a night but we had a wonderful stay at this hotel, and what truly made the experience stand out was the exceptional staff, Richard. When we asked him for a lunch recommendation, he suggested a fantastic local spot! His knowledge of the area and willingness to go the extra mile made us feel well taken care of throughout our stay. It’s rare to find such a perfect blend of professionalism and friendliness. I would absolutely return and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for not just comfort, but outstanding service as well.
