Holiday Inn Airport - Portland by IHG
Our first room smelled like smoke then was moved to a better one. Not enough towels in the room for four and then no towels when we went swimming. We called and then they came an hour later. The staff seemed tired and not enough help - everyone was doing their best.

Hampton Inn Portland-Airport
Very nice room - runway was right off of the back of the hotel. If you are a light sleeper find a room away from the runway! Great location!
