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.

10/10 Exceptional

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!

This was one of the nicest hotels we’ve stayed in, and we’ve stayed in quite a few. The view from the room was amazing, the staff was very friendly and very helpful for even the smallest questions. They offered information that was helpful to a visitor. One of the best things was the shuttle. It not only goes back-and-forth to the airport, but it will bring you to your dinner reservation and other places on the Peninsula. The staff was so accommodating. I can’t recommend this highly enough.

The check-in was so easy and the staff was so friendly and helpful. They gave us recommendations for food and sights. The location was perfect for both the old port and the art district. The room was beautiful and welcoming but was even better was the beautiful view of the bay. We loved waking up to the beautiful view. Parking was easy and the hotel was comfortable.
