Hotels near Merrill Auditorium, Portland

Maybe not located in the city center or by the sea but we love the vibes of this location so much. it was quiet and surrounding by real portland local. Most important only a block away from Tandem Coffee which everyone must try once you are in portland. The living room and bedroom are absolutely fabulous. Grab yourselves a few snack at their snack bar and laying there is great enough.💖💖

The Press Hotel is a very nice hotel; clean, modern, upscale. But I found the valuer for the money was lacking. The food in their restaurant, Union, was above average but the prices were too high for what you got. Breakfast for two (one order of oatmeal and one order of a smoked salmon bagel with cream cheese) came to $44, and with a 20% tip thrown in the meal cost $53. For breakfast! My dinner the night before was similar; very tasty food, but not worth the $125 price for two people. If you don't mind spending lots of $$, it's a great hotel with excellent service and nice rooms.

Embassy Suites by Hilton adjacent to the Portland Maine Jetport provide comfort and convenience. Suite rooms (with two Queen beds) are comfortable but the a/c is quirky and can be hard to set and is noisy. (we turned the bedroom a/c on before going to sleep just leave the a/c in the living room on to cool down, and problem solved. The breakfast bar was the bomb! I loved the omelet Joe made was excellent, fast, efficient, and delicious.

The hotel is in a great location, and it's very comfortable to walk around. The hotel is small and beautiful, very clean and beautiful, and the front desk is very welcoming. There is a public area on each floor where you can get snacks, coffee, and fruit. It's no problem to just have a simple breakfast.

The service was excellent. The staff is pleasant and efficient. I took advantage of a special rate for teachers which included valet parking and breakfast which was a GREAT deal.

Wow, they told us that we were the guests of the day. We celebrated my son's birthday and the added freebies (free breakfast, birthday card, late checkout and candies surprise) are indeed very much appreciated! Thank you so much Westin Team for the effort! Of course, this is a Westin brand so everything is perfect!

Good: Affordable relative to other hotels, nice/spacious room, complimentary water and coffee during select times of day, nice lounge with games and pool table to hang out at night, room and lobby were clean upon arrival. Not so good: Front desk staff had a mix of friendly and not-as-friendly people - the guy at the night shift was not very welcoming when I checked in. The hallway in the 6th floor smelled strongly of carpet shampoo; it was unpleasant to walk through. Bedsheets were a bit rough (low thread count I presume).

Overall not bad for a basic stay. Staff were friendly and rooms are as expected. Breakfast could be improved as the meats weren’t hot and pastries were quite stale.

Quiet, clean, good price point, easy highway in and out, easy walk to downtown. The room we had this last trip (10B) was exceedingly small, but manageable for a one-nighter.

Rooms are ok , little bit on the older style but decent . Should get rid of the carpet though
