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!

I’m so disappointed! I stayed here several times when my son was a young boy for his doctors. We always had the best time. This stay was horrible. Starting with the staff. The man that checked us in was so incredibly rude and disrespectful. Our room smelled like cigarettes and wet dog. We brought it up to an employee and was quickly told oh it’s because of the rain! Check out wasn’t any better. The employees are very rude. Honestly eye rolling at customers?! Please do better! This was the last night of our trip, we stayed in New Hampshire, and Massachusetts and had an amazing time in those states.

Room was clean and everything functioned. It just needs some renovating-carpeting/ bathroom floor. I would also change the very dated decor.
