Top Downtown Portland Hotel Reviews

Aloft by Marriott Portland Downtown Waterfront ME

8/10 Good

"Open room, needs shades that can be darker, quiet toilet flusher"

Fireside Inn & Suites Portland

8/10 Good

"We were pleasantly surprised that the room had been recently updated with new carpeting and bedding. Overall the stay suited our needs and the location was good and close to Portland. The hotel could use some updating overall, with the carpets and furniture looking dated. The staff was very nice and helpful. We appreciated the refrigerator and coffee in the morning in our room. The room was very clean. The grab and go breakfast while nice to offer was not great. The sandwiches were very processed and not fresh. No fresh fruit or yogurt, just fruit cups and applesauce. We passed on it all. Despite some of its faults we would stay here again for a short stay and appreciated the location, amenities, friendly staff, and affordability."
