Hotels in Portland, ME

If you are looking for an awesome hotel in Portland's Old Port, this is it! It is on the "historic registry" which may actually scare people off. Don't be. This hotel offers all of the amenities of the big chains, but is much more personable.. And since it is an old armory, it is really interesting and fun when you check out the lobby, your room, the restaurant and lounge. And, when you walk out the door, you are in the heart of Old Port for shopping, dining, having drinks or taking a sunset cruise. I would recommend this hotel to anyone, but I am not so sure if it would be fun for people traveling with children. It costs a bit more than hotels out of the Old Port, but is really a great value for the Old Port section. Have stayed here several times and will definitely return!

My husband and I stay at the Eastland yearly. We love the size of the rooms. We often get a suite and enjoy meeting friends and heading to the Top of the East - the view is truly amazing and the wait staff and bartender helpful and knowledgeable. We especially enjoyed our last stay because Kyle, the assistant manager, went out of his way to make us feel welcome. There is much to do in Portland and Eastland's location in the hub is excellent.

We have never been to Portland and werent sure where to stay. This hotel met all of our needs. It was well decorated, exceptionally clean and the staff went above and beyond our expectations. I think we had interaction with at least 4 staff members and each one was as pleasant and efficient as the last. Love the free coffee and breakfast buffett!

I highly recommend this hotel for its friendly staff, great service, and comfortable rooms. It is a healthy walking to distance to where most of the restaurants and shops are.

Great location on the waterfront, but I specifically paid for a "waterfront view" Although our room was on the waterfront side, there was a blank wall facing the harbor and our one window on the front corner faced the side street. Maybe on a higher floor it was waterfront view, but on the 2nd floor I could see water from one specific spot through a bunch of ferry landing structures. Everything else was excellent.

The rooms were clean. The pool was great and nice and warm. Handy location to Shopping.

As other reviewers have said, the location isn't great, but it is close to the harbor, which is nice. The internet service was pretty slow. The real draw to this hotel is the staff. They are knowledgeable about the area, and very helpful and pleasant; some of the best front desk people we have ever seen.

This little gem was easily accessible from the highway, neat as a pin, very comfortable. Staff very helpful, friendly. Right near the Portland Sea Dogs stadium and a easy drive downtown.

Went on a family get away. Enjoyed our stay. Pool and 2 hot tubs were excellent and the area was clean. Pet friendly. Anything you need nearby. Very easy to find right off the highway.

This Holiday Inn is close to the downtown area. There was no need to really drive to visit restaurants and shops that we were interested in seeing. I liked that there was an underground garage to park in, and one next door when the underground filled up on Saturday night. We felt safe in and around the hotel at al times. Our room was on the top floor with a great view of the bay. We could see for miles and much of the downttown area as well. I would definately stay here again if the opportunity presents itself.
