Top Portland Hotel Reviews

Fireside Inn & Suites Portland

10/10 Excellent

"Two great pool options (indoor or outdoor). Older hotel but that's exactly what I like!"

Hampton Inn Portland Downtown - Waterfront

8/10 Good

"Location location location"

Inn at St John Portland In-Town

8/10 Good

"Decent location, price and stay. Across the street from the hospital on Congress Street - convenient dirivng to other areas of Portland. My bed was rock-hard firm which made for difficult sleeping. The staff were really helpful and tried hard to serve us. If you need a reasonably priced place to stay for a night in the city and aren't too fussy, this place works just fine. Its an older hotel with a little bit of character that is kind of a good reflection of Portland, as a whole."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Portland Maine

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean throughout the building, with a very friendly and helpful staff."

Holiday Inn Portland-By the Bay by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Our favorite hotel in Portland!"
