Foodie Weekend
A group of us were meeting up in York on Saturday, so we decided to have a night in Portland, what an incredible city, who knew that Porland has the 2nd amount of restaurants per capita (San Francisco is #1) I got an incredible deal for the room and upon registration they gave each of us a whoopie pie (love it). The hotel price also included breakfast. No it is not the fanciest hotel, but it is clean, well maintained, they have a restaurant and lounge. We were there in the winter so we did not get to use pool. I would definitely go back.

Go down to the old port area and ask the clerks at the different retail shops. If you like art, it is everywhere, if you go in the winter, wear a hat-it is cold!!!

Anniversary weekend away.
The hotel was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. We did not expect the hotel to be located in a very busy section of Portland. The picture of the hotel let us to believe this was in a country setting. It was nice over all though. We would stay there again.

Comfortable bed, Nice Bathroom, clean.
The Hotel has lots of attractions. Nice Pool and grounds. The room is clean, and comfortable. The bathroom was clean. The only problem was that they forgot to put soap in the bathroom and there was no coffee pot to go along with the coffee machine in the room. Staff was friendly and attentive. I would stay there again. The Price was reasonable for Memorial day weekend. Very Small Pillows was the only bad thing.

Enjoyed the Hotel
We enjoyed our stay at the Fireside Inn! The room was comfortable and clean. The front desk employees were exceptionally friendly. We had dinner in the restaurant and the prime rib and lobster stew were excellent. The wine reception and complementary breakfast were also very nice. I appreciated being able to use the business center computer to check my flight status and print boarding passes. Plus it is close to downtown Portland, the light house, the airport, and not far from Kennebunkport. We would chose this hotel again. The only reason I didn't rate amenities a 5 is because it would be nice to have a refridgerator in the room.

Nice Choice
We went to Portland to take our Engagement Photos. This hotel was right off the highway, yet once there you wouldn't know it. The staff was prompt to check us in, helpful and polite. The room was clean (not perfect but neither is our home) as well as comfortable. The free breakfast was adequate after all it was free. There is a plaza across the street with a grocery store and a few restaurants. Overall we were very happy with this hotel!
