The Spotlight on Clarion Hotel Airport Portland

Relaxed Comfort Near Portland's Music Scene

Modern yet laid-back, the Clarion Hotel Airport Portland offers a convenient and cozy stay just a short drive from downtown Portland’s best music venues and cultural attractions. Located near the University of Southern Maine and Merrill Auditorium, this hotel is a smart base for concert-goers looking to combine comfort with easy access to live shows.
With classic rooms featuring pillow-top mattresses, free WiFi, and handy in-room perks like coffee makers and cable TV, you'll find it easy to unwind post-show. Guests also enjoy amenities like an indoor heated pool, hot tub, and on-site restaurant.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just minutes from downtown music venues like Merrill Auditorium and the Portland House of Music, the Clarion offers a peaceful place to recharge after a night out. Concert fans appreciate the free parking, late 12:00 PM checkout, and the quiet location away from late-night street noise. The hotel is also close to ride-share pickups and has easy access to main roads for a quick trip to and from shows.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to a weekend show
  • Solo travelers catching a long-awaited concert
  • Couples making a romantic music-filled getaway
  • Fans looking for a quieter place to rest post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

On-site dining is available at Pete & Larry’s Restaurant, a casual spot perfect for dinner before or after your concert. While room service adds extra convenience, there are also plenty of local eateries nearby offering everything from Maine lobster to late-night bites. Free coffee in the lobby and easy breakfast options make post-show mornings easier.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more low-key, it’s a quick ride into downtown Portland’s vibrant nightlife scene. You'll find bars, lounges, and live music venues just minutes away. Whether you're looking to continue the night or grab a nightcap, the Clarion’s location makes it easy.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel's clean, spacious rooms, friendly staff, and the convenience of being near both the airport and downtown. Travelers often mention the easy parking and the hotel’s overall good value for the price. The pool and hot tub are a welcome bonus for relaxing tired feet after a night of dancing.

Areas for Improvement

Some rooms may feel a bit dated, and while the hotel is close to downtown, it's not walkable—you’ll need a car or rideshare. Pete & Larry’s has limited hours, so it’s worth checking ahead if you’re planning a late-night meal.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers looking for a comfortable, affordable stay just outside the downtown buzz, Clarion Hotel Airport Portland hits the right note.

Liked: Everything was fine. Clean, quiet and they have a shuttle service.
Disliked: There was no breakfast on Monday mornings. There is a nice little place nearby (Burundi Star) but it's a 15 min walk (crossing several highway entries/exits)

Pleasant , good value, and...

Liked: Convenient to our family, and to various places— the ocean, downtown Portland. We brought our dog— it was easy to bring her outside to do her business. They provide the plastic bags to clean up after. Ample free parking. Room was clean.
Disliked: Minor details— bed not quite as comfortable as in some other places I have stayed. No free coffee in the lobby, no creamer in the lobby. Fitness room only open until 8 pm. Initial front desk person was like the “Bueller? Bueller?” guy in that movie. The other staff were very friendly . But we will likely stay there again when we visit our family member. Best value in the area from what I can see.

Liked: Perfect location if attending an event at Thompson Point. Clean and comfortable, but nothing fancy. They have tea and hot chocolate in the lobby, but fresh coffee would be nice.
