Top Cape Elizabeth Hotel Reviews

Spark by Hilton Portland Airport Maine Mall

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and great price point. If you plan to explore Portland Maine, the hotel is well situated in nearby mall, food, and other establishments. Parking is free. If you're looking for a place to stay overnight (when most of the day you're out exploring Portland), I would recommend this hotel, rooms are clean and great service. Breakfast are breads, cereals and coffee but can't beat the price vs other hotel nearby."

Fireside Inn & Suites Portland

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient and well located. Next time in Portland will book here again"

Comfort Inn South Portland Airport

8/10 Good

10/10 Excellent

"(+) Location Dog Friendly Food Parking Everything you would expect from a luxury hotel - it is pricy. Nothing negative."
