Budget vacation and Maine don’t really go together unless you want to visit during winter.

Yeah, that's for sure especially for the hotel. Maybe try the black elephant hostel.

My husband’s grandparents have stayed in I think it’s the Comfort Inn in Scarborough for a lower price and found it clean and comfortable. You have to drive ~15 minutes into downtown Portland but you’ll be closer to the beaches.

You won’t be able to stay anywhere in Portland for $200/night. I don’t even know if the hotel I suggested would realistically be $200/night during the summer. Browse Airbnb as well and keep an eye out for deals, is the best thing I can suggest.

Is $200/nite for two people realistic? It sounds like we should up or budget to stay in Portland. Is staying nearby and driving to Portland a good idea or to really appreciate Portland you need to stay there?

Yeah not realistic...I just looked up a Hampton Inn near me in Portland (on the non-desirable end of Portland) and the rates are 180- 200 for a Saturday night in November.

Also looking for local ideas of must dos. We like to walk, bike, hike, and appreciate the city. Thank you in advance!
