Maine Hotel Guide

Travellers seeking the serenity of nature and the call of the wild will have an endless variety of activities to enjoy when staying at hotels in Maine. The state of Maine is best known for its mountainous interior, rocky coastline, and delectable pleasures of clam and lobster, but it has many lesser-known hidden treasures as well. When the call of the wild sounds, Maine is the place to be.

Maine hotels typically feature some of the state's special culinary delicacies such as crab cakes, steamed clams, and buttery lobster. As the nation's top exporter of blueberries, Maine tourists can enjoy pastries and pies featuring this healthy treat.

Maine has a long history of habitation by Algonquin-speaking Native American tribes. The earliest European settlements were developed in the early 1600s. Tourists can explore this history at the Maine State Museum in Augusta, which is the state's capital. The Maine Art Museum Trail offers discount rates for people to explore their way through seven museums with more than 53,000 individual works of art. The Portland Freedom Trail includes 16 locations of the Underground Railroad that led slaves to freedom in the 1800s. This rich history is one of many reasons why visitors to Maine are already planning their next vacation before they have even departed.

Many Maine hotel packages include sightseeing tours to attractions such as the naval shipyards, the Bath Iron Works, and the busy import and export port of Portland. Outdoor sports are a mainstay of the culture in Maine, with hunting, fishing, and hiking being some of the favourite draws for locals and visitors alike.

When combined with the many inexpensive outdoor recreational opportunities, the cheap hotel deals in Maine make a vacation here affordable on any budget. Most rooms are well appointed with all the comforts of home plus amenities like Internet access and spectacular views of the Atlantic ocean or skyline.

The largest municipality in Maine is Portland, which is where tourists can find many Maine hotel deals. The peak tourist season for Maine is during the summer, so plan to book reservations a few months in advance to score the most competitive prices on Expedia. Finding a cheap Maine hotel deal lets travellers stretch their vacation money even more than many other less peaceful destinations.

The Place to Stay while in Portland, Maine

"The Portland Harbor Hotel has a wonderful, clean, efficient feel. It is right in the center of Fore Street, the center of the "hip, cool, historial" area of Portland. The staff is especially helpful and good-mannered. It has a beautiful garden-courtyard which is a special surprise within a city. "
