Cambria Hotel Portland Downtown-Old Port

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel had a great location, large modern clean rooms. We were very impressed with the hotel and the staff."

Fireside Inn & Suites Portland

8/10 Good

"The only thing that was not all that good was the air conditioning. I had it set and it kept going up or kicking off before reaching what I set it at. Which was 70-72 degrees, not unreasonable. However it would climb to 75 and turn off. So I had to keep turning it off and on, to get it to kick on, then I had to turn the fan up and down, to get the fan to stay on high. Very annoying."
