"At the Holiday Inn Portland-By The Bay, guests will find themselves just 3 blocks west of the waterfront. Plus, all the fantastic restaurants, shops and attractions of the Old Port..." Full review

"Located just outside of downtown in a slightly dodgy area, this elegant but somewhat creaky Victorian mainstay offers reasonably priced, comfortable rooms, some with shared baths."
"Built in 1897 to accommodate rail passengers, this venerable inn stands just minutes from Portland's Old Port, Waterfront, and Arts districts."
"This colorful, cozy inn is a fine budget alternative to Portland's pricier picks." Full review
"This decent-value, turn-of-the-20th-century hotel has a homely, friendly feel, with old-fashioned pigeonhole mailboxes behind the lobby desk and sweetly floral rooms" Full review
