Top South Portland Historical Society Museum Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Portland-By the Bay by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly and professional staff in the lobby. Portland Wharf has great restaurants and beautiful views in Downtown"

Cambria Hotel Portland Downtown-Old Port

8/10 Good

"Great location for visiting Old Port and taking the ferry to Peaks Island. We traveled in early September with friends for a ballgame and were disappointed that the outside terrace didn’t have fire places lit and kitchen and bar closed early that were highlighted in hotel ads. It was not like it was a discount room fare that one may overlook these things. At breakfast there was only one server for the entire dining room."

The McKernan Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay and attentive and kind gentleman at front desk."

Inn at St John Portland In-Town

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay at The Inn on St. John! It’s a very unique hotel with a lot of character, both inside and out. Our room was comfortably spacious and featured a fantastic shower—plus, having a jet bath was a wonderful bonus! The complimentary morning breakfast was a great touch to start the day. Parking was a little tricky, but we lucked out with a spot right under our room window, which was super convenient. Overall, a charming and very enjoyable stay in Portland!"

Hyatt Place Portland Downtown - Old Port Square

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and comfortable rooms. Staff was nice. Good location"

Aloft by Marriott Portland Downtown Waterfront ME

10/10 Excellent

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

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."

The Press Hotel, Marriott Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel. Rooms on the smaller side, especially considering the price."
