"Convenient and nice place to stay in Portland."

"Have stayed many times before"
It was as it always has been in the past. Fairly convenient to everything and comfortable. Meals are very pricey. Food is ok. The maid service has changed. I used to leave the room after 11 without a problem and always came back to my bed made, trash taken and used towels changed. The second day, we were leaving the room and was asked if I needed towels. […] I said yes and she started handing them to me. So I said, and the bed made. She took the towels back and said nevermind, I'll take these.(?????). It was a good weekend though and as always, will go back to that hotel the next time we are in town.

"could walk to the Civic Ctr &waterfront."
Overall I was pleased. but .. The wait to get a room was not expected and upset our plans.It set our two night stay off on the" uncomfortable" side.We were tired from a long drive and wanted a rest before our PM plans. That didn't happen.The breakfast buffet was good but overpriced.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Excellent service."
The hotel is a bit old, but in good repair. What is always comes down to is the quality of service. A pretty place can be as cold as a tomb if there is bad service. This place, however, has hired people who are attentive and will do their best to make your stay comfortable, in a friendly manner. That makes all the difference.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Great value and service"
I was very impressed with the hotel staff-very courteous, helpful and knowledgeable. The courtesy van was really helpful. Picked us up at the airport and dropped us to the train station. The hotel was clean, the room large and the location is central to portland. I would stay here again for sure.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A Pleasant Hotel Experience."
The staff was helpful and friendly. Two breakfasts and one dinner in the restaurant were well-prepared and tasty. The view from Room 624 was beautiful, especially at sunrise.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Very nice"
I love the free shuttle service. I was attending a Christmas party and didn't have to worry about driving. The room was clean and the beds comfortable. The shower water was super hot and there's a mini Keurig in the room.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great location"
We enjoyed our stay here, it is very convenient to the Old Port area of Portland. Our stay was too brief to fully appreciate most of the hotel's amenities, but free parking is always appreciated in Portland.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

good location, nice pool for kids to enjoy, rooms comfortable, easy walk to old portGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Mixed bag"
There were certain inadequacies in the hotel. The safe in my room was not functioning and the cleaning staff should have noted that. The refrigerator in the room made too much noise but I found a way to muffle it but that really was not my responsibilty. The breakfast was far too expensive. The staff was pleasant.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Close to all"
The hotel service was wonderful. They put us in a room on the upper floor where we had bird eye view of the Portland city. The room was a decent size and had a contemporary style which we love. However, the bathroom had an odd angle layout and didn't have a full body mirror. When we asked the staff for directions, they drew us a walking path on our […] Portland map showing us the nearby restaurant and attractions. (And, the city is made for walking.) When we did drive, car parking was relative easy. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"we would stay here again."
great fitness room, pool and saunas (single sex only). restaurant dining was pleasant, food good and value was also good. free coffee in the lobby (hot choc if the machine was working). front desk helpful with maps of the area, free in room wifi but sadly left our computer at home and none available for guest use.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great Hotel Choice for Portland"
The staff is very welcoming from the shuttle driver to the front desk and cleaning associates. The room was bright and clean! Loved having a 'fridge in the room, however it did make a weird buzzing sound at times-minor though. The swimming pool was wonderful. Normally hotel pools are small, but not this one.Genuine Expedia guest review

"A cut above HI"
Great location. Had to park in the overflow lot. Friendly staff. Try the asparagus omlet for breakfast.Genuine Expedia guest review
"not worth your money"
The toilet ran all night, the drain in the shower was clogged, the faucet in the shower was broken, the coffee pot did not work,the bathroom sink did not drain-in other words a plumbing nightmare. We were offered a free breakfast for our troubles. Front desk staff was very rude.Genuine Expedia guest review
"I don't get the hype for this hotel."
My opinion of this hotel eroded at check-in. As I was filling out the sign in information the front desk person was talking to another employee which did not bother me at all. What bothered me was she continued her conversation long after I had finished filling out the form, so much so that I decided not to say anything just to see how long it would […] take for her to realize I was waiting for her, understand she was standing directly in front of me while she talked. Finally the person she was talking to started to nudge her with her elbow and nodded her head in my direction to get her to notice me. When I asked how late their car service ran at night she said she didn't know she thought around 10:00 p.m. as she said this another employee overheard her and told me the service runs all night. The room had a great view of the bay. I did not enjoy the view of hair mounded in the corner of the bathroom by the tub. I was not expecting Four Seasons but this felt more like a cut rate motel.

"A nice hotel for a convention"
Hotel was okay, nothing special. It seemed primarily used for conferences and there were several during our five day stay. The water view was nice from our room. Breakfast was not included but there was a full service restaurant. It was always packed with slow service for breakfast due to the conferences. It was close to the arts district but three […] blocks uphill from the waterfront. Free parking was a bonus. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"UNE's white coat ceremony"
I was visiting Portland to attend my son's White Coat ceremony. Friendly and helpful staff. I wish there was hotel pick up from the airport.However there was a ride to airport. Food was not so great. Room price was very high. May be they inflated it for that day when White Coat ceremony of UNEGenuine Expedia guest review

"The Place in Portland, ME"
Huge room with a king size bed, Hotel was real close to all good restaurants in Portland and only three miles away from the event we were attending in South Portland. Was pleasantly surprised that this was a Holiday Inn.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Ok hotel with some issues"
They place the coffee maker in the bathroom. disgusting. room is clean. staff is friendly. parking entry to elevator smells like a bathroom. Bathroom had some mildewGenuine Expedia guest review
"A day at the old port"
Overall the experience was very good. Travelled with my mother and husband who both experienced some breathing issues related to stuffiness in room. Air conditioner did not function properly and windows did not open. Hotel is fully carpeted and I believe this may have added to the issue. Our room was on the top floor and perhaps air did not circulate […] as well as on other floors. We had stayed the Friday before and had a room on the 10th floor and experienced no such issues. Otherwise room was clean and staff very accomodating. Restaurant in lobby was pleasing as well. Location was wonderful and parking free. I would stay again if I travel to the area Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"hotel staff was extremely accomodating"
We needed to have access to our room before the allocated time of 4 p.m. The staff was great in that we were able to have access before that time in order to get ready for a wedding. Then the staff informed us of their shuttle bus that is of use to the guests 24/7. They brought us to our destination and picked us up in the early hours of the morning. […] They were great! Told us where to eat during our stay. Couldn't be nicer. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very nice!"
I really enjoyed staying here! I could walk to just about anywhere from this location and the staff were great! I would most definitely stay here again. The ONLY downside to staying here was that the pool is in the basement and there are no windows. I guess that would be great for little kids or anyone that just wants to swim for exercise.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ok quality, great location"
Older, very large holiday inn, typical rooms for large motels. Overall structure is wearing out, great staff but overworked, rooms clean, poor wifi connections, nice location, bit expensive, good parking.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
