La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Portland DT/Maine Med

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, air conditioning was perfect not to cold or warm. They breakfast could use more variety as far as there sausages."

Ogunquit Tides Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, near enough to walk or bike to area restauraunts and beaches. We biked to Perkins cove and then walked the Marginal way, biking the remainder distance back to the Hotel. The property also had a boat launch which made it super convenient for our kayak use. Our room was clean, spacious, and the kitchenette helped us save money with a couple nights eating in. The pool is huge, clean and refreshing after being out for the day. I'd stay here again and recommend to friends and family. Thank you J"

Quality Inn & Suites South Portland

8/10 Good

"Bedding was clean, soft and warm. Room had a working tv, coffee maker and microwave. Complimentary breakfast was warm and delicious. Parking area was clean. Air conditioner worked but was loud. Bathroom door squeaked and room carpet along with stairway carpet really needed replacement or a really good shampoo. Room rate was good for my stay."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Portland Maine

10/10 Excellent

"It was cute to see the TV welcoming me by name, and room was clean and orderly upon arrival even though we were quite a bit early, so that was lovely. I never expect a room before check-in time but the hotel seems very well run and efficient so I wouldn't be surprised if that was the norm"
