Top Big Beach Hotel Reviews

The Westin Portland Harborview

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed in a King bed Studio-type room. It was clean upon arrival, checked in easily at the front desk, received 2 breakfast tickets (paid an extra fee on Expedia), and was given complementary apps at their C2 restaurant (non-alcoholic beverages) since we were celebrating our anniversary. There were various breakfast options to choose from at C2 restaurant, and staff were so friendly and helpful. We also checked out Top of the East; their lounge and bar at the top floor. They had a live DJ on Saturday evening."

AC Hotel Portland Downtown/Waterfront, ME

Cambria Hotel Portland Downtown-Old Port

Portland Harbor Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent, well-situated hotel. Front desk personnel were helpful and courteous. Sean and Simone were so kind in finding us the perfect room to suit our needs. Olivia at the bar in the evening was professional; we enjoyed our conversations with her. Great coffee-nook with perfect additions for a continental breakfast. Thanks to all who helped make our stay so enjoyable."

Arlie`s Digs! - One Block To Willard Beach!

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommend! Enjoyed our stay and the bakery across the street is lovely."

Hampton Inn Portland Downtown - Waterfront

8/10 Good

"First, the positives: location is perfect for a Portland visit. Easy walking distance to downtown and the harbor. Not far from the interstate. The staff was courteous and helpful when asked, and the property was clean and felt almost new. The negatives: for nearly mid-four figures a night there need to be more amenities. The in-room coffee was Motel 6 grade, and the breakfast as well. On our last morning, for whatever reason, the breakfast buffet, already rather skimpy, was missing many key items — no yogurt, no fresh fruit — and this not even midway through the service. As far as housekeeping goes, we stayed three nights, were away from the room most of each day, but our room was never made up. We did finally ask for some fresh towels and a resupply of tissues, and we are low-impact guests who really don’t need our bed made every day, but I was surprised that there wasn’t even an effort, or at least advance notice that we’d have to ask for housekeeping despite seeing them active in our corridors each day as we departed. I sensed that either the property was having trouble filling staff positions, or maybe they were being squeezed by their corporate overlords. In sum, for that much money I expected a little more, some extra touches that would elevate the experience beyond the basics."

Inn On Peaks Island

8/10 Good

"We rented the 4 bedroom apartment in the attic. The air was on but no heat and it was a bit cold. There was barely any staff but the were nice. The master bathroom was barely usable. One sink did not work. The tub was missing a handle for the hot water. And the shower would not produce hot water. There were a ton of beds. 11 total beds some were king, twins, queen and fulls. Older mattresses so not real soft and cozy. Plenty of room plus a living room. Sky lights let in light but t felt claustrophobic as there were no windows. Also only street parking which was a bit difficult and no elevator."
