Portland Regency Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Clean and nice room. Reliable staff"

Clarion Hotel Portland Airport ME

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was close to the airport, about a 10-minute drive in a safe and quiet area. Staff was courteous and helpful and check-in was straightforward and quick. The room was clean and bed was comfortable. I didn't need much of anything else. Breakfast is not included, but there's a Holy Donut store nearby. The drive to Old Port area for sightseeing is less than 15 minutes away. Totally recommended for a no-frills affordable hotel that's outside the pricey downtown area."

Hilton Garden Inn Portland Downtown Waterfront

8/10 Good

"Everything was great for our 2 nights girls trip of 3 of us staying in Portland. The staff was very friendly and helpful, even helping us choose a couple of restaurants. The rooms were very clean and the beds surprisingly comfortable. Not too hard and not too soft but on the firm side. We paid a little extra for our stay on breakfast which was ok for some of the choices, but also more than we expected. The coffee, however, was awful which was a big disappointment because we all want our coffee in the morning! My big complaint, which was a really big one for me and one of my friends, was this strong odor of either cleaning product or freshener or both in the rooms and hallways. If you have any allergies to scents or chemicals, please beware. We were suffering from headaches, burning eyes and ears and generally feeling a little ill and it was better when we were outside. It was a real drag considering the otherwise wonderful stay. I mentioned it to the front desk checking out and they were very gracious about it. Don’t know if things will change but thought I’d mention it because it was pretty bad."

Longfellow Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very lovely boutique hotel in downtown Portland, Maine. Small rooms, and there is no storage, so you have to live out of your suitcase for a couple of days. And there is no table and only one chair so that’s a negative, if you want to work in your room or have room service, there’s nowhere to sit and eat. The walk-in range shower is great, bathroom is lovely, but the water pressure in the bathroom sink is terrible. But overall, a lovely hotel, if I stayed again, probably just for one night. They do have lovely amenities, the bar is great, well stocked in a variety of good cocktails. The breakfast that we had was really good and they have a lovely free limo service to take you to and from your various visit around Portland"
