Hotel Details
700 Main Street, South Portland, Maine 04106-5402 United States

Hotel Overview

Lighthouses, lobster wharves and the islands of Casco Bay are the draw on this stretch of the Maine coast, and the Best Western Merry Manor Inn keeps you close to all of it in South Portland, Maine, just across the harbor from Portland.

The cobbled Old Port and its galleries sit minutes away, the much-photographed Portland Head Light stands on the rocks at nearby Cape Elizabeth, and a ferry runs out to the bay islands. Fishing boats and ferries come and go along the working waterfront, the lighthouses of Cape Elizabeth line the rocky shore, and the beaches of the southern coast curve away south. Lobster shacks, breweries and the galleries of the Old Port fill an easy day out. An indoor pool and a free breakfast round out the stay, with the airport and the shopping mall close by, and beaches and lighthouses lining the shore in either direction.
