Top Maine College of Art Hotel Reviews

AC Hotel Portland Downtown/Waterfront, ME

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms, helpful staff; have stayed before and will book again"

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."

Portland Harbor Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Every customer service touch points were excellent!"

The Westin Portland Harborview

10/10 Excellent

"After reviving a lower end room by 3rd party during our anniversary/ buisness trip, management upgraded us and sent a surprise bottle of wine. Would definitely stay again"

Hilton Garden Inn Portland Downtown Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location, hotel was clean and friendly staff."

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."

Holiday Inn Portland-By the Bay by IHG

8/10 Good

"Hotel was satisfactory. Room was clean although the bathroom needs to be repainted. Staff was accommodating. No real issues or concerns aside from the fact that its location is several blocks away from the seaport activities. Also the parking spaces underneath the hotel are not really designed for todays SUV's its kind of tight. I might consider it again but most likely would choose something a bit closer to the seaport due to its location."

Aloft by Marriott Portland Downtown Waterfront ME

10/10 Excellent

"Ideal and comfortable stay for downtown."

Hyatt Place Portland Downtown - Old Port Square

10/10 Excellent

"Rebecca was great! Front desk staff were very friendly. Check out was a breeze."
