Top Maine College of Art Hotel Reviews

Portland Regency Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our stay! Hotel location can't be beat. Within walking distance to so much! Excellent valet service; quick and courteous. Helpful desk staff. Only slight negative are very firm, lumpy bed pillows and noise of A/C system. I would absolutely stay there again!!"

Residence Inn by Marriott Portland Downtown/Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location in the Old Port near so many activities and shops and restaurants"

Canopy by Hilton Portland Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, comfortable, friendly staff"

AC Hotel Portland Downtown/Waterfront, ME

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spacious and clean. The staff was very helpful."

The Weldon Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was the best accommodation in Portland that we have stayed at—by a wide margin. The building and unit itself are a dream. Spacious, quiet, elevated, fresh, clean, thoughtful touches, quality finishes and materials, comfortable, inviting, secure…I have nothing but praise for this property. My spouse and I waxed lyrical about it for the entire stay, “Oh my goodness, I wish we lived here.”, and “we’re home!”. Of course we were happy to get back to our real home back in Boston after our time at the Weldon came to a close, but it was sincerely a “home away from home” experience top to bottom. Book this place—you’ve found the one."

Aloft by Marriott Portland Downtown Waterfront ME

10/10 Excellent

"Ideal and comfortable stay for downtown."

The Press Hotel, Marriott Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel. Rooms on the smaller side, especially considering the price."
