Top Scarborough Hotel Reviews

Portland Regency Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Staff outstanding. 2 queen beds turned out to be full size, so very tight sleeping."

Comfort Inn South Portland Airport

8/10 Good

"The breakfast was very slow to replenish took a long time to get certain items"

Holiday Inn Portland-By the Bay by IHG

8/10 Good

"Everything was in close walking distance, and the shuttle was very useful."

The Westin Portland Harborview

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the Harborview! My husband and I took a mini-getaway to Portland so stayed only one night. I wish we had been there longer. It was a nice, clean room with a comfortable bed, and the view was GREAT. Every staff person we encountered was lovely and helpful. I have to say, the elevators were blazing fast. Maybe that's a weird thing to notice, but it was kind of great! No waiting! We ordered room service after plans unexpectedly changed, and it was delicious. Also, the breakfast at the cafe on site was also delicious. My only complaint is that the showers are the rainfall kind, which I hate. But that's not enough for me to get bent out of shape about. Our whole stay was just great and I can't wait to go back! Oh, also, rooftop bar is great! Just closes a bit early. Still, overall the whole place gets an A+ from me."

Clarion Hotel Portland Airport ME

10/10 Excellent

"If you are going to Thompson's Point, this is the place to stay. Easy to get to the point and back after the show. A reasonable walk into town or the hotel has a shuttle that you can reserve."

Americas Best Value Inn Scarborough Portland

8/10 Good

"Very efficient and convenient facility."
