The 190-room Radisson Hotel Portland Airport is a three-pearl business hotel that, as its name suggests, is near Portland International Airport. The colorful rooms come with big desks stocked with basic office supplies. Suites with whirlpool tubs are also available. On-site features include a well-equipped fitness center, and a restaurant with lovely lakeside dining in the summer months. While the hotel has attractive features for business travelers, such as free Wi-Fi, a business center with computer stations, and multiple meeting spaces, there's no pool, and the location is inconvenient for anyone without a car, although the hotel operates a shuttle service to the airport and a nearby light-rail stop. The Hyatt Portland Airport might be a better choice for travelers who want to be within walking distance of restaurants and shops; although its fitness center and dining options are less extensive than the Radisson's, The Hyatt does have an indoor pool and hot tub.

The Crowne Plaza Portland-Downtown Convention Center is a busy upper-middle-range business hotel in the Lloyd District, within a 10-minute walk of the Oregon Convention Center and Moda Center. It has lots of attractive features including free shuttles to the airport and downtown, which is across the Willamette River, but there’s not much of note in the immediate area. Other highlights include lots of meeting space, an indoor pool, nice fitness center, a laundry room, Starbucks coffee station, and full-service restaurant: Boxwood Cafe. Parking is available, but expensive, and breakfast isn't included in rates. Traditionally-decorated (but slightly bland) rooms are clean and nicely equipped with Keurig coffeemakers, mini-fridges, and microwaves. The DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Portland is a similar alternative that's also within walking distance to the convention center, and has two restaurants.

The 51 small, song-themed rooms at the upper-middle-range Crystal Hotel in downtown Portland embody the quirkiness that defines this city. The hotel is owned by the McMenamin brothers, who helm a string of converted historic hotels and microbreweries throughout Oregon, and this hotel packs in the hallmarks of their brand: colorful murals, a laid-back vibe, hearty pub fare, and quintessentially Oregonian craft beer on-site. The hotel also features a small indoor saltwater soaking pool, but guests should keep in mind that only King Rooms have en-suite bathrooms, which can contribute to noise in the hallways. For an equally funky experience with more privacy, try the McMenamin's Kennedy School, a converted schoolhouse a 10- to 15-minute drive from downtown in Northeast Portland.

This 154-room property is solid upper-mid-range pick in a central location in Downtown Portland. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, with a soothing, sophisticated color scheme (grays and golds) and modern amenities, including flat-screen TVs with PPV movies, mini-fridges, free Wi-Fi, and Gilchrist & Soames toiletries. Property amenities include a small but modern fitness center (plus discounted passes to a local gym with classes a block away), a business center, and a decent Asian restaurant. But the fair rates are the big draw here.

This artsy boutique hotel in downtown Portland is within walking distance of numerous attractions, and its sleek rooms are decorated in neutral tones, with rich brown fabrics, leather, and woods. Beds are decked out in high-thread-count sheets and pillow-top mattresses, and tech features include iPod docks and flat-screen TVs. It's an older building, though, evidenced by the small rooms and tiny bathrooms.

This renowned inn is one of the premier luxury options in Maine, and offers a true boutique experience in charming Kennebunk. It is housed in a historic building, and so its 26 rooms vary greatly in size. However, they all feature flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, free Wi-Fi, and classic, elegant decor. The much-acclaimed restaurant serves outstanding (and pricey) seasonal cuisine in an 1820s restored barn, and the spa is arguably one of the best in the region. The waterfront cottages are quite a trek from the main building, so make sure you book a guestroom instead if you want to be closer to the property’s great amenities.

The Kennebunk Inn is ideal for travelers who enjoy the quirks of a historic property -- antique-type furnishings, creaky wood floors, and low ceilings, along with an alleged resident ghost. Rooms do offer free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs, but if you want modernized, uniform luxury, this eclectic inn probably isn't the place for you, as rooms are all different shapes and sizes, and some bathrooms are downright tiny. The Acadame restaurant serves renowned New England dishes created by the innkeepers, who are also professional chefs.
