Cambria Hotel Portland Downtown-Old Port
Very clean and modern design, spacious room and overall the place was very quiet and made for a good night's sleep. Convenient to have the garage attached to the hotel, you just have to have your ticket validated by the front desk, but allows you to come and go as you please for the parking fee.

Holiday Inn Portland-By the Bay by IHG
I didn't like the parking situation. If you stay more then 1 night you have to pay for parking which should be included free for everyone.
