Top Maine College of Art Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Portland-By the Bay by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We were in Portland for three (3) days on the tail end of our 2-week east coast trip. While the hotel is showing some signs of age, it did not disappoint and fully met our needs. The breakfast was great, especially the cook to order omelets. The hotel is not in the Old Port area but is still a comfortable 15-minute walk to get to the harbor area for dinner, bay tours and site seeing. The only negative was our last day and being awakened with two (2) room attendant staffers arguing in the hall. It lasted about 5 minutes until we came out into the hallway and glared at both of the participants. We will definitely stay here again when we come back either in 27 or 28."

Canopy by Hilton Portland Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, comfortable, friendly staff"

Cambria Hotel Portland Downtown-Old Port

8/10 Good

"The hotel is very nice, clean and attractive with lovely areas to sit inside and our. However there’s a $25/day resort fee theta not mentioned when booking or on Hotels.com/Expedia so we were hit with it upon checking in. Since there is no resort like amenities except for bikes to use if/when available it is odd, and the gym was small and typical, same as other hotels include for free. The fee becomes a credit to use toward any food/beverage by noon the next day so we used it for overpriced bottles of water ($6/per!). The restaurant is pricy ans there are so many better choices in town. And the credit can’t be put towards the $40/per day parking. There’s luckily a good amount of street parking in the immediate area."

AC Hotel Portland Downtown/Waterfront, ME

10/10 Excellent

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

Inn at St John Portland In-Town

10/10 Excellent

"Only drawback is no elevator but we were on 1st floor so we lucked out. Very charming though. Loved it."

Portland Regency Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent place to stay! Centrally located! Comfortable for three! Super clean"

Hampton Inn Portland Downtown - Waterfront

8/10 Good

"Valet services are a little iffy. You never know where your car is going to be parked, sometimes it is 10 minutes away in a parking garage."

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."
