Top Little Diamond Island Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Portland-By the Bay by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast is great and the staffs are very friendly!"

Portland Harbor Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment we arrived, the Hilton Garden Inn Portland Downtown Waterfront exceeded every expectation. The room was spotless, spacious, beautifully appointed, and in the heart of the tourist section. Tour boats and trolleys, wonderful shops and restaurants are right there. This hotel is quiet, well designed and the bed was incredibly comfortable. We slept like babies. Beginning with a warm greeting at check, every staff member made us feel welcome and valued. We were especially moved by the front desk and management’s attentiveness — they went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. After we checked out, I realized I had left my wallet in the room. I can honestly say that I did not panic. I had a strong belief that the staff would retrieve it and send it to me. Two days later it arrived at my home with every ID, credit card and cash money still in it. This level of care and personalization is rare and truly memorable. Breakfast on site was how we started our day with traditional and continental fare that was fresh and satisfying. Our boat and trolley tours mentioned nearby famous restaurants that we happily tried for lunch and dinner. We went to relax, spend money, see a part of the country we had not visited before, witness the fall foliage, eat seafood and sleep. This ideal location satisfied our every whim, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a luxurious yet welcoming stay in the heart of the city."

Hampton Inn Portland Downtown - Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were spacious and clean. We couldn’t have found a better breakfast by eating out! Each morning the staff had an immaculate breakfast bar! The location was great for walking to the shops and eating out at night."

Cambria Hotel Portland Downtown-Old Port

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very comfortable. Great shower. Nice bar. Great location!!"

Inn On Peaks Island

8/10 Good

"We rented the 4 bedroom apartment in the attic. The air was on but no heat and it was a bit cold. There was barely any staff but the were nice. The master bathroom was barely usable. One sink did not work. The tub was missing a handle for the hot water. And the shower would not produce hot water. There were a ton of beds. 11 total beds some were king, twins, queen and fulls. Older mattresses so not real soft and cozy. Plenty of room plus a living room. Sky lights let in light but t felt claustrophobic as there were no windows. Also only street parking which was a bit difficult and no elevator."

Residence Inn by Marriott Portland Downtown/Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel suites were great - rooms were spacious and the full fridge and mini kitchen were great. Walkable to a bunch of restaurants and easy to find along the main street. The pool isn't huge, but plenty big enough to swim leisurely laps. Included breakfast had tasty waffles and scrambled cage-free eggs"

"Will be returning for sure. What a special place!"

Absolutely Breathtaking Direct Oceanfront Cottage ~ Perfect Location!

10/10 Excellent

"House has everything you need, was clean and delightful. The location and views are next level. Highly recommend"

Yearround Cottage on Peaks Island

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful week on Peaks celebrating our 60th wedding anniversary! Peaks is where we met after spending several summers there. Two cousins joined us who had also spent time on the island. The deck was great - weather was sunny. (We were there Aug 16-23, 2026). We also liked that the cottage was set back in the woods. We so enjoyed exploring in our car and on foot revisiting places that we remembered from 60 years ago and finding new ones."
