Holiday Inn Airport - Portland by IHG
The room was spotless and the woman that checked me in was very helpfull. The only negative was that it was very difficult to enter the parking lot. If you miss the one entrance you have to drive several mile to try again.

Mark Spencer Hotel
Staff were courteous and efficient. Highlights for me were the light and lovely space of a corner room with luscious linens on a king bed, and really hot water and fluffy towels in the bathroom. The hotel has a long history of supporting musicians and artists, which is also nice to see.
