I stayed here with my family on May 26. We were visiting Portalnd and all the downtown hotels were booked so this was the only other convinient option. When we arrived, the front staff was nice and gave us the welcome whopie pie. The room itself was neat but the air conditioning did not work. We could not sleep the... More

First time staying here. Arrived with a roomsaver coupon which they honored with no problem even though they were very full. Had dinner in the dining room, very tasty. Peaceful sleep. They offered a free continental breakfast but the room was very full and since a hot breakfast was only $3.99 in the dining room, we opted for that. Beautiful... More

We had meetings all over the Portland area plus one in Boston - this Hotel is very well situated, so easy to get onto the Maine Turnpike. The room was more than adequate, it was clean the bed was comfortable there was plenty of hot water and we got a great rate. Please note that I just sleep at a... More

We were flying out the next morning really early so we came to stay over night to get a good night's rest. The people checking us in were very friendly. They even gave us delicious whoopie pies at check in. How's that for a welcome :). We enjoyed the pool as we unwound from our long drive. The beds were... More

I stayed one night at the Fireside Inn and Suites in Portland Me for business this week. The room was payed for so I do not know the price but they seemed to offer around $100 a night on most travel websites. The entire property needs a thorough cleaning and updating the common areas seem clean but the room needed... More

This hotel is NOT, I repeat NOT a three star hotel. It's just not. The entire hotel is filthy. Absolutely filthy. I cringed the three unique travel trips I stayed here, believing each time my experience was an exception and not the rule. Unfortunately, three strikes you are out. Specifically, my room should be cleaned. If you see urine in... More

I stayed in this hotel this past weekend and was extremely disappointed. The woman at the front desk was very nice and helpful, but she is the only person who seemed to care if we had a comfortable stay. Housekeeping walked in and out of our room numerous times without knocking, and they had bad customer service and rotten attitudes.... More

My husband and I just got back from our trip to Maine. We chose to stay at the Fireside Inn because it was centrally located, inexpensive, had decent reviews, and free breakfast. We were happy to see that we were allowed to check in early (1:30pm) even though their check-in time was 3pm. When we got to the front desk... More
