Best Western Merry Manor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Fresh coffee or cappuccino available 24/7 in the lobby! Huge espresso/coffee machine at your disposal anytime. For those of us who appreciate a good cup of coffee whenever we want it, this was a big bonus for me. EV drivers: You can plug your car in overnight and wake up to a full charge. Everything else was great too. BW Merry Manor Inn is a really good value, in my opinion."

Clarion Hotel Portland Airport ME

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a good location, close to everything and even has a gas station right next door, very convenient. The staff are pleasant and helpful. The property outside is well maintained and clean with ample parking. They have breakfast with a sit down service, decent menu, tasty food and fairly large servings. You can pay at the time if service or charge it to your room and the prices are average. The pool area was clean and roomy. The pool and hot tub were clean and comfortable, we enjoyed both very much. The overall cleanliness of the hotel was great, our double room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The only thing I would say is that the hotel needs an update desperately, it is older and it shows but we would definitely stay again. oh and the room rates we're one of the lowest in the area!"

Clarion Pointe South Portland

10/10 Excellent

"Traveled with kids. We had a connecting room. When I called to request the connecting room I had to call five times to get someone. She was not happy to help. With that said, when we got there the staff was wonderful and cheerful. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The breakfast was meh, but there is a restaurant just down the street that had breakfast sandwiches that were sooooooo good, and they were priced REALLY good. Pool was nice. The area is fantastic. It was 20 minutes from old orchard, funtown, and Portland. Very good price for an inexpensive vacation."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Portland Maine

10/10 Excellent

"Embassy Suites always deliver and the Portland, Me location was a top 5 visit. Great facility, clean, all staff were super nice and helpful and the food breakfast and dinner was awesome! We had trouble finding a hotel, and almost didn’t take this location due to the airport. Great location and we never heard anything, not even the jets at the airport. So glad we stayed with Embassy Suites, we’d stay here again while in Portland, ME."

Holiday Inn Portland-By the Bay by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This was one of the nicest hotels we’ve stayed in, and we’ve stayed in quite a few. The view from the room was amazing, the staff was very friendly and very helpful for even the smallest questions. They offered information that was helpful to a visitor. One of the best things was the shuttle. It not only goes back-and-forth to the airport, but it will bring you to your dinner reservation and other places on the Peninsula. The staff was so accommodating. I can’t recommend this highly enough."
