Top Back Cove Hotel Reviews

Casco Bay Hotel Portland Airport - Maine Mall, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great customer service. Very clean room. Affordable. Airport shuttle is perfect."

Holiday Inn Portland-By the Bay by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Loved that the hotel's shuttle will take you anywhere within 1 mile of the hotel, and the drivers could not be nicer. It is "first come first serve" EXCEPT when you need an airport shuttle, and you need to get on the schedule...calling the front desk. So a bit of a mixed message that scared us into making it onto the schedule so we could make our flight the next day. This feature alone made staying here worthwhile so we did not have to rent a car to see what we wanted in Portland."

Portland Harbor Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Old hotel recently updated. Great location in Old Port in walking distance of restaurants and shop. Very helpful staff. Easy valet parking. They charge a resort fee but you get it back as credit to use for breakfast or at the bar. Great outdoor patio area with gas fire pit. Great vibe for adult travelers."

Inn at St John Portland In-Town

10/10 Excellent

"Each room is different, which is fun. I've stayed here many times and always happy with the place. A parking spot comes with the room in one of about 3 different lots very close to the hotel. There is an Asian market immediately next door where you can pick up some unique snacks and stuff too."
