Hampton Inn Portland Downtown - Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"A nice place for a two day stay"

Fireside Inn & Suites Portland

8/10 Good

"This hotel is a modest place just outside of Portland. The price/ value is good. But it’s a bit dated. The fitness room has only a few pieces of equipment and for a hotel this big it needs more. The hot tub was lovely but very small. The indoor pool did not open until 9:00am which was unfortunate since every piece of gym equipment was being used so we could not access the pool before we had to leave. The hotel room was large but in the rear of the building facing highway. There are a few complimentary light breakfast items available. Overall it worked out for our needs."

Ogunquit - The Milestone

8/10 Good

"The Milestone is a nice, clean property, but nothing outstanding. It provides adequate parking, with exterior room access, more a motel than a hotel. Rooms were plain, but clean. The room was subject to much noise from the parking lot and adjacent rooms. The room heating/cooling system was effective and easy to operate. The bed was typically uncomfortable for a motel of this type. TV system provides a lot of channels, but is very difficult to navigate. The free continental breakfast was sparse. Overall about 3/5 when compared top similar properties."

Holiday Inn Portland-By the Bay by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We were in Portland for three (3) days on the tail end of our 2-week east coast trip. While the hotel is showing some signs of age, it did not disappoint and fully met our needs. The breakfast was great, especially the cook to order omelets. The hotel is not in the Old Port area but is still a comfortable 15-minute walk to get to the harbor area for dinner, bay tours and site seeing. The only negative was our last day and being awakened with two (2) room attendant staffers arguing in the hall. It lasted about 5 minutes until we came out into the hallway and glared at both of the participants. We will definitely stay here again when we come back either in 27 or 28."
