After an unexpected flight delay coming back home, I decided to stay overnight in Portland after we landed vs driving 3 hours home in the middle of the night. I called ahead to make sure I would be able to gain access as my arrival was well after midnight. When we arrived we were greeted wonderfully by the gentleman at the counter. He even set out a tea for me. I’m not sure how he knew what my favorite kind was but that was an unexpected gesture! The room was perfect for our family and breakfast in the morning was a great start to our drive home. I would definitely stay here again. The only complaint that I have is that the room wasn’t as clean as one would expect. There was some spots on the top of the comforter on one of the beds. This might have been a slight oversight by housekeeping. My room also had popcorn ceiling, and it looked as though there may have been a leak in the pastand there is some discoloration in the ceiling above the sleeping area, which had removed some of the popcorn ceiling. A little bit dated. This would not affect my decision to stay here again.

Staff was nice, everything past the front desk was disgusting. Hallways and elevators were filthy and clearly hadn’t been cleaned or mopped, walls and doors on floor were scuffed and dented. Musty smell in the hallway as well. Room itself wasn’t great either. Mattress had a yellow stain, shower floor was slimy and towels felt like stiff dry carpet. Definitely need to improve their cleanliness

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 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!
