I'm a IT guy for a airline and this is where I always stay. The food is good here makes it hard for me to go and try local places. Bar is well stocked with great seasonal beers :) Staff is very nice. I love the fact that one of the people at the front desk is from Baltimore and... More

This was my first time in Portland, we traveled up from Rhode Island to attend the Old Port Festival. It was a great time with good music and food all the day. The hotel was very pleasant, they accommodated an early check in which is always appreciated. Although the website shows a $10 fee for parking, it was for free.... More

As a Maine native, it was fun to see a business meeting scheduled in good old Portland. Very beautiful location especially if bayside. Nice people (of course!

We just left Greenville (pop about 500) and bar... More

In room coffee maker, refrig and microwave although we did not use them. Fairly easy walk down to the shops and restaurants. My only problem was that the wi-fi worked strangely, info... More

Here are pros and cons: Pros: Hotel seems clean and newly updated Kids eat free at the restaurant. We only had breakfast and it was good. If you get good weather,... More
