We traveled here for a conference and stayed here since it was affordable. There is a lot of bang for your buck. The rooms are very comfortable. The in room internet connection was great. There was a day I had to work in the room and it was not a problem. However the highlight for me was the pool. It... More

This hotel is really nice for the price . We paid $140 for the night and the room was spacious and clean. Staff was friendly also. Old Port is right down the street which has great restaurants and shops.

Public areas are fine but the rooms are substandard. The location is awesome but the place needs to be demolished and rebuilt. Also liked the free parking, but for the price of this room I expected better quality. We ended up moving out after one night.

I haven't stayed at a Holiday Inn for many years and was pleasantly surprised. Customer service was terrific. When I landed, I called for the complimentary shuttle, and it arrived within about 10 minutes. The driver was friendly and informative. I was very tired from an early morning flight, and the front desk periodically checked to see when my room... More

My wife and I booked a stay for a fun trip to Portland, ME. A few weeks later, to our surprise, we found out my wife was pregnant. My wife was told by her physicians it would be difficult for her to have children and so we were thrilled to hear she was now pregnant. Unfortunately, due to a chronic... More

Last year, I stayed here for a weekend on a short business trip. The hotel is very clean, and the staff is on top of things. They are quick to deal with any issues. The cafe is ok for breakfast. I never had any other meals there. Nothing special, but decent food. Waitstaff is good about checking up on guests.... More
