Top Parkside Hotel Reviews

Tru by Hilton Portland Airport Area

10/10 Excellent

"Front staff was very friendly and helpful."

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."

The Francis

10/10 Excellent

"We truly enjoyed our stay at the Francis Hotel. Upon arrival, Devin the young man at the front desk, was very courteous and recommended things that we could do while we were in the city. All of the other staff that we encountered during our visit were just as courteous. We enjoyed the breakfast provided daily and the wine as well. The Francis is a charming hotel that we would gladly stay at again. Parking was included which was a plus being that other hotel did not include parking. 5 STARS for this hotel and staff."
