Top hotels in Thorton Heights
Clarion Pointe South Portland
"Definitely not the quality that I expect from Clarion. It wasn't terrible but the room needed upgrading. Walls are thin and we could hear neighbors talking. Walmart brand coffee and Motel 6 brand soaps. At least the mattress was comfy."

Portland Harbor Hotel
"The extra charges were annoying $45/ day for parking and $35 /day for any extras like restaurant charges. I would prefer a higher room rate."
