Reading a Book by Its Cover: Portland, Maine Edition

If you're staying the night, The Portland Harbor Hotel has a lot going for it.

It's one of the only hotels sitting smack dab in the center of scenic Portland, which is just a few streets wide in each direction. The value of this is not to be underestimated. It's recently renovated and has wireless and a fitness center, as well as rooms that are almost too big for just little old you. Rates vary by date, but seem to start as low as $169/night, which would just about get you a good overnight parking space in New York.
