Visitor's Guide 2018

Camping is always a popular choice for keeping costs down, but those seeking a roof not made of stars will find a selection of affordable motels just outside of the downtown action. Some provide on-site cottages or kitchenettes and grills, allowing you to cook many of your own meals. And staff are helpful when it comes to suggesting affordable options for local dining. An easy way to nab a bargain is to visit in the quiet season when prices are up to half of what you’ll find during the summer and early fall. Also look for mid-week specials and packages for couples, groups, families or singles; packages may include breakfast or dinner, holiday shopping, or local activity discounts. visitportland.com/where-to-stay/deals- packages On our website you’ll find a list of budget- friendly accommodations that offer room rates under $150 during peak season, everything from Bed & Breakfasts, to cottages, to hotels and motels. And with everything so close to town, staying off the Portland peninsula isn’t a hardship at all— you’ll find the same superior hospitality that Greater Portland has become known for. visitportland.com/where-to-stay/hotels- motels-inns/budget-friendly MEMORABLE STAYS ON ANY BUDGET I HOSTELS BLACK ELEPHANT HOSTEL 33 Hampshire St, Portland 207-712-7062 blackelephanthostel.com Twelve one-of-a-kind rooms offer both private and communal accommodations, housing up to 54 people.
