The Westin Portland Harborview
A fine location with nice rooms and helpful staff. The bar on the 15th floor has a nice view of the harbor and pretty good draft beer.

Such a great hotel especially for the price. Then spa is great and accessible without booking a service. They were amenable to all our requests. The location is also great. Highly recommend.

Holiday Inn Portland-By the Bay by IHG
$20 for parking would have been acceptable if we parked in the garage, or at least if the door to the hotel from overflow parking was open. Having to lug everything down the street was too much.
