Top Downtown Portland Hotel Reviews

Residence Inn Portland Downtown/Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"We came in late so it was nice to get a shuttle back to the airport for our rental car. Staff was really nice and everything was wonderful."

Canopy by Hilton Portland Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"What impressed us most about the property was how almost every design detail of the room perfectly aligned with our needs. Everything functioned so nicely. There was nothing amiss or off. It really was impressive and added to our enjoyment of the stay. The room was also spotless and obviously well kept. We would definitely return to this location."

The Westin Portland Harborview

8/10 Good

"The hotel is pretty nice, but seems dated and geared towards older clientele. The staff were fine but seem very new and slow movers. No one was rude and everyone was fine if you spoke to them but they don't go out of their way or have any sense of urgency. The city surrounding the hotel is unfortunately experiencing high level of unhoused folks and public drug/meth use. It's very sad but be diligent if walking around especially in the Monument Square area. The food scene however is top notch!"

Clarion Hotel Portland Airport ME

2/10 Terrible

"This hotel was bad from the minute we arrived. I called early in week to see if there was a possibility to check in early because we had a long ride & had to catch a ferry for a memorial for a boss in Peaks Island, ME. When we arrived the 2 at front desk kind of laugh at me & looked at me like I was nuts. Then I asked if there was a place we could leave are things because I did not want to leave in our car & they did not answer me. So we went out in the parking lot wondering if we should go back, but it was paid for already online. Then our friend called & said she was there & they gave her a different answer & said they had a rm she could put her things in & possible to get in her rm earlier?? WTH why not us! Then we had to chg in a bathroom w/a leaking ceiling. We finally went to our service came back after dinner & got ready to sleep. In middle of night all hell broke loose. A man & lady were fighting each other all night swearing, crying & hurting each other for hours. Dogs were barking off and in all night long. As we checked out we heard another couple complain there were 2 drunk guys fighting outside there window. What is this place anyway? When we reported this to the guy that morning he just smiled and that was about it..This was a terrible experience and should get some of our money back & will never stay there again"
