Top Portland Arts District Hotel Reviews

Clarion Hotel Portland Airport ME

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel at an affordable price."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Portland DT/Maine Med

10/10 Excellent

"New, Clean rooms a little on the out skirts of the "hot spots", but for the price, worth it. The pool is nice and their breakfast is a great bonus. I contacted the property prior to arrival as I had several bookings and we were all coming at different times. They were very helpful in setting up staggered check in. Also this is a pet friendly hotel. For me that is a bonus to others it may not be. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Portland

8/10 Good

"The cookies were excellent. Meals were good in restaurant. The amenities were great and lounge area was comfortable. Room service was slow to provide linens but responded quickly to phone calls. Would stay there again. Centrally located safe neighbor lots of eateries nearby"

Holiday Inn Portland-By the Bay by IHG

8/10 Good

"Easy parking out front for check in but parking garage is terribly tight, hard to park anything bigger than a compact car. All staff were very friendly, great for recommendations and local directions (especially Richard up front!) Breakfast was excellent, many options, gentleman at the omelette station gets 5 stars, incredible omelettes and super friendly. Room a little dingy but clean, cleaning staff did great job. Poor water pressure in shower but hot water. Hotel shuttle offered but never seemed to be available for airport to local drop-off. Easy walking to harbor though, plenty of places around to eat and shop. Appreciated the free water & coffee daily."
