Ramada Plaza Portland  

Just outside downtown Portland, about 6 km from the city center and linked to the convention center. Close to Fore River Sanctuary, University of Southern Maine, University of New England, Joker's Family Fun and Games and Happy Wheels Skate Center — a handy, family-friendly spot for both conferences and kids’ outings.

119 air-conditioned rooms feature flat-screen TVs and private balconies or patios. Many rooms include shower/tub combinations with deep soaking tubs and complimentary toiletries; elevators and accessible rooms are available.

Enjoy an indoor pool, spa tub and a fitness center for slow mornings or active days. Free Wi-Fi, on-site parking, laundry and dry cleaning, a gift shop/newsstand, ATM and a 24-hour roundtrip airport shuttle cover the practical stuff.

A business center, meeting rooms and conference space pair with complimentary wireless internet and lobby newspapers — built for planners and work trips.

Two on-site restaurants and a bar offer meals and drinks, with room service during limited hours. Full breakfast is available for a fee.
