Top Scarborough Hotel Reviews

Clarion Pointe South Portland

8/10 Good

"Staff was very good. I called Ahmed for an early arrival and he was great. Rooms are somewhat dated and need some TLC but beds were excellent."

Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Portland Maine Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The overall stay was fine staff was friendly and helpful. Room was clean along with building and grounds. Only grip and it's a small one is for dinner meal options in the freezer, there were no vegan or vegetarian options available. I do realize the possibility they may have already been taken when I got there."
