Top hotels in Grand Beach
Portland Harbor Hotel
"An attractive city hotel with contemporary rooms and a lux feeling lobby area. Ed and pillow were very good; a/c was robust. Downside: The one working elevator to the guest rooms made transit up and downstairs slow."

Portland Regency Hotel & Spa
"Just okay, guest services staff a bit aloof. Can’t beat the location in the heart of the old port. Comfortable bed. Room service closed too early. Nothing in the minibar fridge. Walls are surprisingly thin. I expected more from the Regency."
