Residence Inn Portland Downtown/Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"It ia walking distance to waterfront and restaurants. Front desk staff is friendly."

Portland Regency Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"A truly lovely and well situated hotel. My room was spacious and comfortable. One thing though: windows are too high which gives the room a bit of a stuffy atmosphere. The front desk informed me that this is typical of third floor rooms. I highly recommend the hotel and their lobster rolls! This is definitely a destination I will return to very soon."

Cambria Hotel Portland Downtown-Old Port

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived to the hotel and were greeted by friendly staff. We opted out of the $40 valet parking and found free overnight parking on the street. The rooms were very clean, updated, and spacious. The bed was very comfortable. The location was perfect for getting around. I will definitely be back!"

The Docent's Collection at 178 Middle Street

10/10 Excellent

"Everything from the check-in through the stay was great. I love the location as it was so central to so many things. The bed was very comfortable and the shower/bathroom was also very nice with top notch products. Having a TV in the living room and bedroom made watching the World Cup easy. The staff were also super helpful on recommendations for restaurants and bars around the area. I'll def be back in the future!"
