7.3/10
A sensible driving base with friendly staff, but uneven upkeep limits its appeal.
Ramada Plaza by Wyndham is a practical 3-star in Portland, Maine, better suited to road trips than a walkable Old Port getaway. We'd consider it for free parking, helpful staff and useful extras: an indoor pool, two hot tubs, a gym and attached dining. Booking.com and Expedia guests repeatedly praise the staff and comfortable rooms; the overall verdict is good rather than outstanding.
The catch is uneven upkeep. Recent guests describe worn decor, musty or smoke-like odors and occasional cleaning lapses, although many others report clean rooms, including in September and October 2026. Pool-area feedback also varies, with some complaints about hot-tub temperature and jets. Breakfast costs extra. It's a reasonable choice for travelers with a car who prioritize practical amenities; we'd skip it for consistently fresh interiors or downtown sightseeing on foot.

Best for: road-trippers with a car; families wanting an indoor pool; practical short stays
Watch out for: uneven upkeep and recurring odor complaints; downtown requires transportation; breakfast costs extra
Location: Off I-95 near the airport; a driving base, not an Old Port walking base.
Rooms: Comfortable beds earn praise, but decor and condition vary; some guests report updated rooms.
Cleanliness: Mostly positive feedback, tempered by repeated carpet, odor and housekeeping complaints.
Service: Friendly, helpful staff are the clearest recurring strength.
Amenities: Indoor pool, two hot tubs, gym and attached dining; hot-tub maintenance gets mixed feedback.
Fees and surprises: Self-parking is free; breakfast is extra, and Expedia lists a pet deposit.
