Room was spacious but there were stains on furniture, tables were dinged up. Bathroom door needed to be wiped down. Glass all over back parking lot where my car was parked that i didnt notice until morning when i checked out. I expected more from this property for this price point. I did not feel safe here low lighting, dull rooms.

The hotel was convenient to the downtown area. It felt a little dated and I felt that the bathroom especially could have been cleaner.

The place was nice and very quiet being in private area. The room is spacious and amenities are good. My only complain is that after going around Maine all day long, we came back in the afternoon and our room was still not cleaned , trash is still in our room. When we asked housekeeping to change our trash, she did and change our towels but she claimed to her supervisor that she cleaned our room. Otherwise everything was good. I recommend this place to stay

Excellent Hotel for Families Visiting Portland

We had a fantastic stay at the Holiday Inn in Portland, Maine! We booked the family room, which was incredibly spacious, very comfortable, and spotlessly clean — perfect for our family. Breakfast was a highlight of our stay, with a wide variety of delicious options to choose from every morning. A special mention goes to the 24/7 coffee bar — such a thoughtful touch! It offers regular and decaf coffee, hot water, assorted teas, and creamers, and was truly appreciated throughout the day. The staff were all friendly, welcoming, and very helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. The location is also a big plus — just a short drive from downtown Portland, making it convenient to explore the area. We highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again!
