Detailed Reviews: Best Towns to Stay in Maine
1. Embassy Suites by Hilton Portland Maine
The Vibe
Right off the Portland International Jetport, this all-suite property is the go-to for families needing space and a soft landing. Each unit comes with a separate living room and a sofa bed — that’s a real door between you and the kids. The complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast is a win before you hit Old Port, 8 km away.
What You Actually Get
You get a two-room suite with a private bedroom and a living area that includes a pull-out sofa — so the kids aren’t in your lap all night. There’s a mini-fridge, a microwave, and a work desk. The indoor pool keeps the crew entertained on rainy Maine afternoons. The hotel restaurant serves breakfast and dinner, but you’re also within a 15-minute drive of Portland’s best seafood spots. Private parking saves you the downtown garage shuffle. Unlike smaller inns, you’ll find a 24-hour front desk here, making late arrivals stress-free.
Choose this if: you’re flying into Portland with the family and want a reliable suite setup with breakfast included.

2. Cambria Hotel Portland Downtown Old Port
The Vibe
Perched on Hancock Street in the Old Port, the Cambria leans into a clean, modern aesthetic with a 9.3 location score that puts you steps from cobblestone streets and harbor views. Guests consistently praise the room comfort — air-conditioning, tea and coffee makers, and roomy work desks.
What You Actually Get
Rooms come with a mini-fridge, flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom stocked with free toiletries. The family-friendly restaurant serves American food for lunch and dinner in a space that blends traditional and modern. There’s on-site private parking — a rarity in the Old Port that saves you $30+ a night. The hotel also allows pets, so your dog can tag along for Portland’s walkable streets. Check-out is noon, giving you an extra hour to grab a lobster roll before heading out.
Choose this if: you want to be in the thick of the Old Port with a car and a pet in tow.

3. Portland Regency Hotel & Spa
The Vibe
Sitting right in the Old Port at Milk Street, this hotel hits a 9.8 location score — the highest of any property here. It’s not all location, though: guests rave about the comfy beds, and the on-site fitness center, steam rooms, hot tubs, and full-service spa mean you can unwind without leaving the building.
What You Actually Get
The rooms feature flat-screen TVs, and the Eighteen95 restaurant serves American-styled seafood made from local Maine ingredients. The Armory Lounge offers pub food, beer, cocktails, and wine in a more casual setting. Breakfast is American-style. You’ll find private parking on-site — a huge plus for this neighborhood. The Regency also accommodates pets, and the 15:00 check-in is earlier than most properties here. The 9.8 location means you can walk to the Portland Observatory, the Art District, and dozens of restaurants without touching your car.
Choose this if: you want the best possible Old Port location with a spa to match.
4. Residence Inn by Marriott Portland Downtown Waterfront
The Vibe
Fore Street in the Old Port puts you right on the waterfront with a full kitchenette in every room — fridge, stovetop, microwave, the works. The 9.3 location score and free shuttle to Portland International Jetport make this a practical pick for longer stays or work trips.
What You Actually Get
Studios and suites come with a 37-inch LCD TV, iPod dock, and modern furniture including a sofa bed. The free breakfast buffet covers continental, vegan, gluten-free, and American options — someone in your group is covered. Pets are allowed for a $100 one-time fee (max two pets). Parking is available, but limited to two cars per reserved room, so call ahead if you have multiple vehicles. The 11:00 check-out is standard, but the free airport shuttle buys you time.
Choose this if: you’re on an extended Portland stay or you want to cook some meals to save cash.

5. Canopy By Hilton Portland Waterfront
The Vibe
Center Street on the waterfront, a 9.6 location, and a 9.0/10 superb rating — the Canopy hits hard. The free bicycles are the standout perk: grab one and cruise the Eastern Promenade Trail. The restaurant serves American and international cuisines, and there’s a fitness center for when the lobster rolls catch up.
What You Actually Get
Family rooms include sea views, air-conditioning, work desks, free toiletries, and flat-screen TVs. Breakfast is continental with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, plus a grab-and-go option if you’re heading out early. The bar serves cocktails and local beers. Private parking is available. The 12:00 check-out is generous, and the hotel is pet-friendly. Unlike the Embassy Suites, this is smaller and more boutique — expect personalized service over sheer room count.
Choose this if: you want an active waterfront stay with free wheels and a 9.6 location.
Check Tonight’s Price for Canopy By Hilton Portland Waterfront →
6. AC Hotel Portland Downtown-Waterfront, ME
The Vibe
Fore Street again, but this Marriott property leans European-minimalist — clean lines, focused service, and a 7-minute walk to the Casco Bay Lines Ferry Terminal. Portland’s art scene is within a 1.5-km radius, so museum-hopping is easy. The 9.3 location score puts you squarely in the mix.
What You Actually Get
Guest rooms include mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, and private bathrooms, with some rooms offering city or waterfront views. The buffet breakfast covers continental, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and American options. Pets are allowed with a $50 non-refundable fee per night (capped at $150 per stay, max 100 lbs). On-site parking is available. The 12:00 check-out is standard. The vibe here is quieter than the Cambria — fewer families, more couples and solo travelers.
Choose this if: you prefer a sleek, understated hotel within walking distance to the ferry and galleries.
Check Tonight’s Price for AC Hotel Portland Downtown-Waterfront, ME →
7. Black Elephant Hostel
The Vibe
Hampshire Street in a historic building — this hostel punches way above its price with a 9.7 location score and a 9.1 superb rating. The garden, lounge, shared kitchen, and games room create a social atmosphere that’s rare in Portland. It’s the top pick for budget solo travelers and backpackers.
What You Actually Get
You get free WiFi, a shared kitchen with basic cookware, bicycle parking, and luggage storage. The check-in window is tight (15:00 to 20:00), so plan accordingly — no late arrivals accepted. No third-party bookings allowed, so you must use your own reservation. The property has a garden and a lounge area that double as social hubs. The 10:30 check-out gives you a decent morning. Unlike hotels, there’s no private parking listed, so street parking is your likely option. This is strictly for those comfortable with dorm-style or private hostel rooms.
Choose this if: you’re traveling solo on a budget and want a social base in a historic building.
8. Hilton Garden Inn Portland Downtown Waterfront
The Vibe
Commercial Street running along Casco Bay — this one’s about the working waterfront views. The 9.6 location score plus an indoor pool and comfy beds (guests rate sleep quality highly) make it a solid pick for families or couples wanting to watch the boats come in.
What You Actually Get
All guest rooms have refrigerators, microwaves, and flat-screen cable TVs. The fitness center and 24-hour business center let you split work and play. Breakfast is American-style at the Great American Grill, but there’s also a bar for evening drinks. Private parking is on-site. The hotel is pet-friendly. The 16:00 check-in is late by Portland standards, but the indoor pool makes the wait easier for kids. Unlike the Residence Inn, you get microwaves but not full kitchenettes — better for short stays.
Choose this if: you want waterfront views with an indoor pool and don’t need a full kitchen.
Check Tonight’s Price for Hilton Garden Inn Portland Downtown Waterfront →
9. The Francis Hotel
The Vibe
Congress Street in the Bramhall neighborhood, near the Art District — this historic landmark offers a more residential Portland experience. The 9.0 rating and free parking make it a quiet alternative to the Old Port rush. Museums, galleries, theaters, craft breweries, and boutiques are within a 1.4-km radius.
What You Actually Get
Free WiFi throughout. Note the standard king room requires climbing three steps after exiting the lift — important if you have mobility concerns. The hotel is pet-friendly. Check-in runs 15:00 to 20:00, which means you need to arrive within that window or call ahead. The property sits on the second floor of the building. Free on-site parking is a legit money-saver compared to Old Port garages. Unlike the Cambria or AC Hotel, the Francis feels more like a guesthouse with hotel services.
Choose this if: you want free parking, Art District access, and a quieter Portland stay.
10. The Press Hotel, Autograph Collection
The Vibe
Exchange Street in the heart of the Old Port — this Autograph Collection property was once the Portland Press Herald building, and the newspaper theme carries through the design. The 9.5 location and 9.0 superb rating draw couples and design-conscious travelers who want character over chain consistency.
What You Actually Get
Rooms come with air-conditioning, mini-fridges, private bathrooms with bath or shower, free toiletries, desks, and safety deposit boxes. Breakfast is continental, American, or a breakfast-to-go option. The on-site restaurant and fitness center cover dining and exercise. Private parking is available. The hotel is pet-friendly. The rooms are smaller than the Residence Inn but pack more design — think curated art and typewriter-inspired decor.

Choose this if: you want a boutique hotel dripping with character and a 9.5 location score.
Check Tonight’s Price for The Press Hotel, Autograph Collection →
11. Island View House BnB Self Check-In

Choose this if: you want a self-contained apartment with kitchen access and free parking in a prime spot.
Check Tonight’s Price for Island View House BnB Self Check-In →
12. Best Bower
The Vibe
Congress Street again, but this 9.3-rated guest house brings a 9.5 location score with outdoor living — terrace, picnic area, and a private entrance. Family rooms with private bathrooms, air-conditioning, and free WiFi make it a top pick for small groups who want privacy over hotel formality.
What You Actually Get
Each room includes a dining area, work desk, and modern amenities. The outdoor seating area and picnic spot are rare finds in Portland — most properties don’t offer a green space to eat your takeout. Private entrance adds a layer of independence. Check-in requires advance notice of your arrival time. Parking is available.

14. The Docent’s Collection
The Vibe
Middle Street in the Old Port with a 9.8 location score — tied for the highest on this list with the Regency. The Docent’s Collection occupies a historic building and offers aparthotel-style rooms with kitchen facilities.
