Hilton Garden Inn Hotels in Portland

We made a last minute decision to take a trip from the NYC area up to Portland to attend an event, and with Labor Day weekend traffic, we did not arrive until about 11:30PM at night with 3 exhausted kids. We were pleasantly surprised with this hotel -- the kids slept in the bedroom and my husband and I slept on the pull-out couch in the living room area of the suite. I was anticipating noise because of the proximity to the airport, but we never heard a single plane! When we requested extra towels, pillows, blankets, etc they were brought up in a timely fashion by a friendly and helpful staff member. The included breakfast was a really nice perk -- everyone had plenty of options (one of our travel companions is vegan and had options). My husband in particular enjoyed the freshly made omlets.

We stayed one night before flying home after a family event. We ran out of wipes for the 1 year old and the staff put our Uber CVS order in the room for us. They also provided a travel crib. Then, my 5 year old started vomiting in the middle of the night and the front desk staff provided us with extra linens not once, but TWICE. The service from start to finish was amazing and I will definitely stay here again when visiting Portland. Oh yeah- rooms large and clean, good breakfast, great downtown location!

April School vacation we planned a one night stay-cation at the Ramada. I should have known better, being that we live less than a few miles away from the Ramada. But, I unfortunately trusted the 3 star rating. We live near the Clarion hotel and we were looking for step up from that hotel. We were looking a simple hotel that felt safe, clean, decent food, and had a pool. The Ramada failed on all fronts! The only good thing about this hotel is the exceptionally patient staff behind the front desk. This staff has an incredibly hard job. While trying to perform their jobs, they are constantly monitoring unwelcome guests and guest who have been served far too much alcohol at their bar and restaurant. This creates a unsafe space for hotel employees and guests. We were a party of three one adult and two children under the age of 10. My children both expressed feeling unsafe while we were outside of our room. One of many incidents included a very intoxicated man who was a hotel guest at their bar. He came towards us calling my children his children and walked right into a wall, and fell down right in front of them. They have never knowingly seen a drunk person. Now thanks to our stay at the Ramada they have. This was one of many experiences we had that led us to feel unsafe outside of our room. In our room there was a pubic hair on the ice bucket tray. The rooms are dingy and bathrooms feel very worn in and dirty. We made sure our doors were bolted and secure. The doors felt secure with the exception of the patio door but we were on the 3rd floor. We did have dinner at the Seasons restaurant. Skip the food and get dessert. The desserts were really good. The mozzarella sticks we ordered only one actually had cheese in it. The tater tots were freezer burned and you could taste that even though they were smothered in cheese. Finally the pool and hot tubs. Algae around the pool platform allows for an extra slippery surface and of course fungus. The hot tubs were very cloudy and felt a layer of slime on our skin after being in them. The pool lining is lifted in many areas and has a ring of dirt around the interior edges. In the early morning we found a non guest using the pool area to bath. Next time we are looking for a average hotel for a stay-cation that feels safe, clean, decent food and a pool we will choose the Clarion near our house. Or perhaps we will splurge and get a good quality hotel elsewhere in town.

We decided to do a night out in Portland. I am originally from there...born and raised, but live in Kittery now. Decided to check out the press hotel and union restaurant for brunch. Honestly, it was all ”Meh”. Hotel was nice, clean and convenient to Old Port. It is however, overdone, overpriced and overhyped. Too much with the press quotes all over the place, the tyewriters, printing press parts, etc etc. I get it. Its the Portland Press Herald's old building. Our room was $400 after taxes and had a view of the fire station parking lot. It was tiny, bed uncomfortable, pillows unusable (ordered new pillows which helped, but the oversized ”feather” pillows were covered in something like crepe paper). Bathroom had no fan, stupid quotes all over the place signifying nothing. I don't really understand how other hotels in the Port are like $150 a night for the same thing while this is more than double. The experience? It was too much by half. Seems to me this is there to bilk tourists out of a few extra dollars playing on Portland's history, which I don't get--the Press Herald is still around, just not in that building. Maybe its there for the new hipster crowd in Portland to part with some of their money, who knows. Traveling to Portland and want to stay downtown? Stay at one of the other cheaper hotels. Same exerience, half the price. Remember, no matter how hard you try, Portland is not Boston and its not New York. Mariott missed with this one.

I stayed at this hotel for a week on business. The room was clean and comfortable,the amenities were great-full kitchen, full-size fridge and microwave, stove, pots/pans, all the dishes, glassware and utensils you'd need. I slept really well-didn't notice any noise from the street. It was really convenient and the view of the harbor with all the huge cruise ships coming in and out was super cool. The staff was great-particularly Rashad and Tim at the front desk-very helpful, friendly and professional. The location was very convenient to the Old Port area. Really enjoyed my stay.

The young man and young lady at the front desk were SOOO helpful! Our room was great! We enjoyed our 10th anniversary trip pass through very much!

The hotel is clean and has a great location! We were however very disappointed that this hotel did not have a pool like the app lists! Currently there also is no one to cook for at the restaurant so there was only a bar no food!
