Top Scarborough Hotel Reviews

Clarion Hotel Portland Airport ME

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient to the airport for an early morning flight."

Clarion Pointe South Portland

8/10 Good

"The hotel was good overall and a convenient option for our needs. We only stayed one night, but it was a good choice for a short stay. I would consider staying here again."

Holiday Inn Portland-By the Bay by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We were in Portland for three (3) days on the tail end of our 2-week east coast trip. While the hotel is showing some signs of age, it did not disappoint and fully met our needs. The breakfast was great, especially the cook to order omelets. The hotel is not in the Old Port area but is still a comfortable 15-minute walk to get to the harbor area for dinner, bay tours and site seeing. The only negative was our last day and being awakened with two (2) room attendant staffers arguing in the hall. It lasted about 5 minutes until we came out into the hallway and glared at both of the participants. We will definitely stay here again when we come back either in 27 or 28."

Fireside Inn & Suites Portland

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and comfortable, if dated and worn in some places. Best shower! Staff was helpful and friendly! Good location for Lyfting into downtown."
