Do not usually stay at Holiday Inn hotels. I was pleasently surprised by the quality of this one and very well located. I reccomend it. more

I was in town for a business meeting and stayed 2 nights at this Holiday Inn. The location of the is close enough to walk to all the downtown town attractions however it is not by the bay. It is near the bay. A room overlooking the bay would have been very nice. I have stayed in Portland a number... more

The hotel was nice, clean, and comfortable. The problem, though, was that we arrived late in the evening and needed to catch an early ferry the next morning. There was no parking spaces left in the underground lot, so we parked next to the hotel van right outside the hotel entrance. I asked the desk clerk if that was OK,... more

We stayed here for 5 nights for a business meeting. Pluses: Restaurant was reasonable, wait help was superb. Kids eat free. Free lemonade & coffee in the lobby Free shuttle service to the airport Priority club members receive one piece of free laundry, 2 free drinks in the bar and a welcome package of water, chips & a cookie Free... more

stayed 4 days for a wedding in portland. had a king exec room looking out on the bay. nice big room, good pool, and restaurant. friendly staff and shuttle was available for airport runs and runs to old port which was very handy when you just can't walk anymore! very satisfied with our experience here. more

Just came back from a famiy trip to Maine with the last four days at the Holiday Inn Portland by the Bay. Had five of us in a room with two double beds. Had a good stay there but it's just a slightly above average hotel for the price (I paid $156) - Short walk to downtown or Old Port.... more

Great service right from check-in. Could not give us a non-smoking room but smoking room was fine, no smell. They apologized even though I made the reservation with the understanding that I was getting a smoking room. Offered to refresh it again if I wished. (Not necessary and we are sensitive to smoke,) Got good advice on restaurants and museums... more

This is a solidy choice in Portland - it's about a 10-15 minute walk to the Old Port area. My husband and I had a "bay view" room on the top floor of the hotel and it was a lovely view. The rooms are standard and the staff at the desk was mildly friendly. However, the wait staff at the... more
