After reviewing several places, we hit upon this Holiday Inn and had a great stay. It was within walking distance of many sites and lots of restaurants. The best part was being on the 6th floor and having a fantastic view of the Portland Harbor. We were scheduled to be there just 2 nights but extended to 3 nights because... more

Everyone we encountered at this hotel put forth their best effort. Our first night in Portland, we had stayed at a bed and breakfast; however, our stay at the Holiday Inn was more enjoyable and relaxing, thanks to the staff. The location is central, within walking distance to everything. There is free parking. All rooms have views of the city... more

Its a holiday inn, so you definitely shouldn't have high expectations. I would say that their commercials say they are renovating each hotel, but they haven't done this one. Didn't have a non-smoking room available due to a convention in town, but the smoking room smelled fairly clean. Room basic, bed comfortable. Clean but outdated. With a hotel like this,... more

I agree with the other reviews that this hotel has a good location in town. It was easy to walk to the Old Port or downtown quite easily. The room was comfortable with all the expected ammenities. We had a bayview which overlooked many buildings and the water in the distance, and unlike some, I found the buildings themselves somewhat... more

After reading the positive reviews on tripadvisor my wife and I decided to stay at the Holliday Inn while in Portland. I am glad we did. The location is great, its a quick 5- 10 minute walk anywhere you want to be, Old Port, the Arts District, shops and restaurants. We had a drink at their Port of Call lounge... more

A good value for the location compared to other hotels. We had a good sized room with a nice view of the harbor and centrally located for shopping and restaurants in the wharf district. The breakfast buffet was reasonably priced but a bit on the skimpy side. Parking garage is difficult to navigate in a big car, but parking is... more

Enjoyed a 3 night stay here. Lovely room with great view over the harbour. Location of hotel is very good and free parking a bonus. Staff extremely helpful and pleasant. Receiving our little goody bag on check-in was a nice touch. Only had breakfast once in hotel - so many places to choose from in Portland - but it was... more

Every once in a while you come across a Holiday Inn that is a hotel. This is one such, and it's worth paying for. The bay views are nice, rooms clean and large, and facilities good. The front desk staff were very helpful and courteous, and the concierge was very good at giving us tips on where to eat and... more

My boyfriend was attending a 3-day conference at the hotel, so I tagged along for a little bit of R&R. The Holiday Inn By The Bay was very clean, the staff were friendly (and extremely patient while helping me figure out some wireless connectivity issues with my laptop), and our king suite was immaculate and spacious. The bed was exceptionally... more
