TOP 10 Portland Hotels

We decided to do a night out in Portland. I am originally from there...born and raised, but live in Kittery now. Decided to check out the press hotel and union restaurant for brunch. Honestly, it was all ”Meh”. Hotel was nice, clean and convenient to Old Port. It is however, overdone, overpriced and overhyped. Too much with the press quotes all over the place, the tyewriters, printing press parts, etc etc. I get it. Its the Portland Press Herald's old building. Our room was $400 after taxes and had a view of the fire station parking lot. It was tiny, bed uncomfortable, pillows unusable (ordered new pillows which helped, but the oversized ”feather” pillows were covered in something like crepe paper). Bathroom had no fan, stupid quotes all over the place signifying nothing. I don't really understand how other hotels in the Port are like $150 a night for the same thing while this is more than double. The experience? It was too much by half. Seems to me this is there to bilk tourists out of a few extra dollars playing on Portland's history, which I don't get--the Press Herald is still around, just not in that building. Maybe its there for the new hipster crowd in Portland to part with some of their money, who knows. Traveling to Portland and want to stay downtown? Stay at one of the other cheaper hotels. Same exerience, half the price. Remember, no matter how hard you try, Portland is not Boston and its not New York. Mariott missed with this one.

The young man and young lady at the front desk were SOOO helpful! Our room was great! We enjoyed our 10th anniversary trip pass through very much!

The location of the hotel is very good, it is very convenient to eat and shop. The hotel also has its own car that can take guests to places within a mile of the nearby area. Hotel front desk service is especially good.

4.5 stars We stayed one night while passing through Portland on the way home. Check-in was quick and friendly. The lobby is nice. Room was clean, spacious, and updated. Bed was comfortable. Front desk staff were helpful. Location is great! We had a couple of great walks to dinner or to get coffee. The Old Port neighborhood was cute! We ordered room service for breakfast. Service was slower than expected due to staffing issues, but we both enjoyed our meals. We didn’t get to take advantage of the spa or restaurant, but if we find ourselves in Portland again, we definitely will. We always have nice experiences at Westins, and this stay was no different.

I stayed at this hotel for a week on business. The room was clean and comfortable,the amenities were great-full kitchen, full-size fridge and microwave, stove, pots/pans, all the dishes, glassware and utensils you'd need. I slept really well-didn't notice any noise from the street. It was really convenient and the view of the harbor with all the huge cruise ships coming in and out was super cool. The staff was great-particularly Rashad and Tim at the front desk-very helpful, friendly and professional. The location was very convenient to the Old Port area. Really enjoyed my stay.

Great location tho it wasn't situation in the heart of downtown. Clean and bright room. Due to the covid the housekeeping service wasn't delivered during the 3 nights we stayed. The price was extremely expensive (actually all hotels in the whole Portland). Anyhow, great spacious room and I had a pleasant stay.

We were very comfortable in our deluxe waterview room for three nights. The room was clean and spacious with nice bedding and giant windows that allowed us to enjoy the activity around the port. We were a little apprehensive about the lively crowd and the loud music across the street on our first night, but at 10:00 p.m. all was quiet. However, with parking and the cost of breakfast, we paid over $1500 for those three nights. Even with the great location and the view, that was well beyond anything we've paid before--anywhere.

We made a last minute decision to take a trip from the NYC area up to Portland to attend an event, and with Labor Day weekend traffic, we did not arrive until about 11:30PM at night with 3 exhausted kids. We were pleasantly surprised with this hotel -- the kids slept in the bedroom and my husband and I slept on the pull-out couch in the living room area of the suite. I was anticipating noise because of the proximity to the airport, but we never heard a single plane! When we requested extra towels, pillows, blankets, etc they were brought up in a timely fashion by a friendly and helpful staff member. The included breakfast was a really nice perk -- everyone had plenty of options (one of our travel companions is vegan and had options). My husband in particular enjoyed the freshly made omlets.
