Evalina Hotel

Downtown Portland

10/10 Excellent

Centrally located in the Old Port, with views of the harbor, this was a last minute — therefore pricey — excellent find for a fall weekend getaway. Stylish, elegant rehab of 19th century granite industrial building. Whimsical decor notes referring to 19th century owner Evalina Fox. Nicely appointed kitchenette — though if you came to Portland for the foodie scene, you might end up just using it for breakfast, as we did. Only sour note was the disco music (coming in via the ventilation...

The Weldon Hotel

Downtown Portland

10/10 Excellent

Amazing place to stay in Portland. The location was great. The hotel is right next to Courtyard Marriott and Aloft hotels, but it feels so much more comfortable. The unit was twice as large as a typical Marriott room about 700 sq. ft which was wonderful. It is Walkable to the ferry boat, restaurants and shops. There is a full kitchen, dining area, living area, very large island with large windows to brighten the place and a set of washer and dryer in the unit. Extremely clean and it looked...

This property is beautiful. It sits in the historic area of the old port. It is very close to the waterfront, restaurants, shops and historic areas. The mattress and sheets were superb. While in the old port, we took a trolley tour which took us out to Portland headlight and then gave us a tour of of the old port. You can catch fairies from about two or three minutes walk away, we would strongly recommend this hotel.

I love this place! Check in is always smooth and the staff is always friendly. I really like the room set up with the separate living space from the sleeping space, and also a separate full kitchen area. Breakfast is included and always good with a large variety to choose from. They also have a free light supper a few nights a week. I sleep so well as the mattress and pillows are wonderful. The toiletries are nice and the towels are thick. The room was spotless and even though it is a...
