"Amazing as always."
Overall score5.0/ 5
Despite the construction and the lobby being closed, the front desk staff was friendly and helpful as usual. We were staying for the New England Craft Brewers Summit and I thought the hotel did a wonderful job of hosting our large (400+) group. My husband and I come to Portland often and always stay at The Holiday Inn. Best hotel in town!
