I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. Room was perfect, with nice view on the harbor. It's situated a bit up the hill, but easy walk to anywhere really (albeit this was my first visit to Portland without snow, which helped). There's also a free local shuttle which will bring/take you from anywhere in town. Bed and bedding was high quality. Service fantastic

Great location right in Portland and you can get a view of the coast in some rooms as well. They also have complimentary e-bikes to borrow for a few hours, which is really nice to ride down to the promenade. Easy to walk to many restaurants and shops. The staff was also super helpful and friendly.

Perfect Location and price! The customer service at this hotel was excellent, the front desk clerk was very informative and welcoming, which was a big relief since it was my first time visiting Maine and didn’t know what to expect. The rooms were very clean and the views were a bonus for me. The biggest highlight was how close this location was to some of the best restaurants downtown and the port. They also provided me guidance when it came to reserving my airport shuttle before checking out, which I loved because they were very punctual and helpful. I would recommend everyone to stay at this hotel!
