Best Western Merry Manor Inn
Room was clean, lobby very nice with Coffee 24/7, cold drinks to purchase & small conveniences. Tons of kids, great place for parents. Not so great for adults as hot tub was full of kids all the time. An adults only hot tub hour would be nice! Breakfast was a zoo. Food was fine.

The Westin Portland Harborview
A fine location with nice rooms and helpful staff. The bar on the 15th floor has a nice view of the harbor and pretty good draft beer. Don't order food - or at least the tots as the serving size is meager and quality very low. Not to mention the high cost. Like many cities, Portland does struggle ...
