NERFA 2024

After an exhaustive search prioritizing affordability and accessibility, we found this location offers beauty, amenities, and one of the most reasonable hotel rates we’ve been able to offer since 2019! Situated in the heart of the city, this hotel offers scenic views of Casco Bay and Portland’s historic Old Port. Recently renovated, its spacious, well-appointed rooms are equipped with modern conveniences (yay, refrigerators and coffeepots!). Guests can enjoy an indoor pool, a fitness center, and dining options celebrating the cuisine of Maine. Extensive conference and event facilities offer NERFA everything we could need onsite, while its proximity to local attractions, shopping districts, and culinary hotspots offers our attendees even more options in Portland’s vibrant downtown

  • Hotel rates (lowest since 2019 pricing)
  • A 24/7 free shuttle between the hotel, airport (only 12 minutes away) and train station
