Travel Note
Portland is an expensive place to rent a hotel room. AirBnB, VRBO, and similar sites might offer you your best budget options for a night or a weekend in town. We've tried to list cheaper hotel options here (along with a couple of snazzy spots), but you are of course welcome to simply look on the Hilton and Marriott sites for accommodations, too. We encourage you to look at Google maps before you book! If you want walkable, you'll want to stay in Portland proper. Gorham is about 20 minutes outside of Portland, but you should still have ample Uber and Lyft options available to you, should you decide that you really want to party down. Don't drink and drive! Finally! If you are *definitely* coming to this wedding, we *definitely* advise you to book ASAP. Like, no joke. There will be no place left to stay if you wait until the last minute.
Rental Car
If you're flying in, your best bet is going to be getting a rental at the airport. All of the big names -- Enterprise, Hertz, etc. -- have rental vehicles available here.

This place absolutely fascinates us. The reviews are actually pretty good! This is where I (Tom) would stay if I were being invited to this wedding.
Hotel
It ain't pretty, but it's a cheap place to lay your head at night.
Hotel
This place has several rooms available, and rents through AirBnB. This is where I (Hannah) would stay if I were being invited to this wedding.
Hotel
Aloft is where I (Tom) would stay if I were invited to this wedding and had hotel points to burn.
Hotel
This is probably the most expensive Holiday Inn in the United States. We don't understand it, either! It has the virtue of being right in downtown Portland, though, so there's that!
Hotel
Want to stay in Portland in style? Oh, heck yes, you do. The Regency is the snazziest spot in town. Get your spa on while you're here!
Hotel
Funky little Bed & Breakfast. Please note, for the record, that there are CATS living onsite. Still, though! Cheap!
Hotel
In the event you have Hilton points to burn, this is a great option! There are cheaper Hiltons by the airport! I know that's depressing, but they're also closer to our backyard, so there's that!
Hotel
This place is in a weird location, but it's relatively cheap!
Hotel
No idea about this one. It's pretty affordable, though! The reviews are good, too!
Hotel
I (Tom) once stayed in a Best Western in I think, like, Radford, Virginia, or something? Anyway, there was a leftover soap bar in the shower, which was a little disconcerting, but I mean, Best Western is like an American institution? And it's got a pool? And the reviews are pretty good? I dunno, give it a shot!
Hotel
Right on the waterfront. Super expensive. Hey, maybe that's your thing, we ain't knocking you!
Hotel
See? We told you OOB was the Quebecois Riviera! This place is extremely bizarre in all the right places. See for yourself!
Hotel
This place looks dope, and as of today (2/5/22) there are four, relatively affordable rooms left. Snatch 'em up!
