"Excellent breakfast by a very good serving crew. Good people at the desk, very helpful. Nice location, 10 min walk to the water. Would recommend"

Cambria Hotel Portland Downtown-Old Port

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, rooms are big. Friendly staff and their restaurant on site is also good"

Clarion Hotel Portland Airport ME

8/10 Good

"Staff and shuttle were great. Bed comfortable. Bathroom fixtures need attention: shower head pipe loose in the wall. Toilet didn’t stop flushing. (Had to remove tank lid and mess with flapper every time)"

Residence Inn by Marriott Portland Downtown/Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Kind and professional staff"

Aloft by Marriott Portland Downtown Waterfront ME

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean room, centrally located, and the staff was very nice."

Portland Regency Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Choose this hotel for the excellent location and proximity to things downtown not for a high end experience. This hotel has a great walkable location, was comfortable, and relatively clean. It needs some updating but we were only there to sleep so didn’t mind."

The Westin Portland Harborview

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel, nice staff. Good location in Portland. As with most cities, evidence of local homeless population is obvious. Parking garage is next door and very convenient."

Courtyard Portland Downtown/Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful view room. The hotel was close proximity to everything. Very clean. Breakfast wasn’t really breakfast. Often times there was no one at the counter. The servers or workers were in the back. They could do a better job of watching the counter. They were all very nice though."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Portland DT/Maine Med

8/10 Good

"This hotel was perfect for our family. Close to downtown but not in a bustling location."
