Top Downtown Saco Hotel Reviews

Fireside Inn & Suites Portland

8/10 Good

"The hotel was a little odd, quirky, like a maze but clean and comfortable. Although I didn't use it, it had a nice hot tub. Breakfast was one step up from being a continental with frozen sandwiches to heat up in a microwave. The room/bed was comfortable."

Gorges Grant Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed here for many years and I always find the same standard of excellence. Beds amazing, plenty of pillows, high quality of sheets and towels. Wish toilets were not so low, but otherwise totally pleased with stay. Nicely decorated inside and out, cookies and beverages offered. Many restaurants and shops in vicinity. Beach close by, lots to do and other interesting villages nearby. My favorite fall stop for a relaxing weekend!"

Spark by Hilton Portland Airport Maine Mall

8/10 Good

"Arived check in process was smooth staff was friendly and explained the in and outs. Got to the room heat was blasting and was quite warm so we turned on the ac on to cool the room down it ended up icing up but it was cool enough that we could open the windows to let some cold air in. A Breakfast was very simple there were bagkes yogurt and cereal dont expect a hearty meal. There are some EV chargers on site but the J1772 chargers cord was damaged and not sure it would be safe to use. I would recommend a tesla adaptor if you want to charge"
