A Weekend Get Away in Portland, Maine: Guide & Consult if Requested
Where to Stay
Coming here with a group of girls, we weighed the decision between staying in a house or staying in a hotel. In the end, the hotel won, and here is why. It was all a numbers game for us. Traveling with 9 girls, we didn’t want to have to keep getting in and out of a vehicle, especially when one vehicle (even an UberXL) couldn’t hold all of us. It made more sense to book a few hotel rooms and be within walking distance of almost all of the action. We stayed at the Portland Harbour Hotel, which was perfectly located in the center of everything. Besides a few breweries, we could walk to everything that we did. We could stroll the town, go for morning runs, and make it out at night all without hopping in a car. It had a nice garden area outside where we could all congregate, hang out, and sip drinks before and after activities, and nice little fire pits for the evenings.
Day 1:
On our first evening we arrived in Maine and went straight to Maine Beer Company. If you do not have a car and don't have a strong feeling about getting here I'll provide some alternative ideas at the end of the itinerary.
If you are already out this way there is also a Patagonia clothing outlet right by this Brewery and it is amazing! It is gigantic and full of amazing deals.
