The room was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The most comfortable hotel beds we have slept in this trip. Front desk staff was extremely helpful and kind. Loved that they have a shuttle to take you to the hotspots so you don’t have to move your car and pay for parking.

Liked: Staff & service
Very friendly and professional staff in the lobby. Portland Wharf has great restaurants and beautiful views in Downtown
Good hotel within walking distance of everything. Complimentary E-bike rentals were nice to ride the bike path on the east side of town. Great view of the bay on the upper levels too
Location is great and within walking distance of just about everything.
They have a great shuttle to and from the airport, which will also take you to places in town, if needed.
Great indoor pool, with separate men's and women's saunas! Super nice! Workout room which is very reasonable too.
Complimentary coffee and hot tea, with a small sundries room which has snacks, yogurt, and necessities.
Location is about ten minute walk to the main areas of Commercial Street. Plenty of parking in the garage under the hotel. Room looked to be recently renovated and the bed was extremely comfortable. It was an enjoyable two night stay!
Enjoyed our three day stay in Portland. So helpful to have a shuttle but even without it everything in the area was walkable. I upgraded our room to one with a view and it was so worth it. Would definitely stay here again.
