Embassy Suites

We are planning to visiting Portland for 2 days at the end of our New England holiday. I am very impressed by reviews of Embassy Suites - is it really that good and reasonable?? we have a party of 4.

I like the idea of a 2 room suite plus comp breakfast and parking. Is it very far away from the heart of things though???

Embassy Suites is OK. The rooms are good and the comp breakfast is a nice perk. However, it is near the airport and the Maine Mall, not right in town. (It%26#39;s not hard to drive into the heart of Portland; it%26#39;s just not going to be a short stroll from the hotel.)

I agree with the poster above. There are many other lodging options in the area that will have you either more in the middle of Portland OR give you more of a taste of the southern coast of Maine. If this is a once in a lifetime type of trip for you I%26#39;d look at other options not because of the quality of the hotel but simply because of the location.

It is very nice, but it is an airport hotel. So there is NOTHING else around it, and I do mean nothing! (It is next door to the General Aviation terminal that I fly out of).

That being said, if you have a car, downtown Portland is only 10 or 15 minutes away. So if you really like the idea of being in the suite, the place may suit you, so long as you understand that your dinners and sightseeing will involve a car-trip.
