"Convenient location, hotel was clean and friendly staff."

Holiday Inn Portland-By the Bay by IHG

8/10 Good

"Hotel was satisfactory. Room was clean although the bathroom needs to be repainted. Staff was accommodating. No real issues or concerns aside from the fact that its location is several blocks away from the seaport activities. Also the parking spaces underneath the hotel are not really designed for todays SUV's its kind of tight. I might consider it again but most likely would choose something a bit closer to the seaport due to its location."
