The hotel was within walking distance to everywhere we wanted to . The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The breakfasts were better than a lot of Holiday Inns I have stayed at. The staff , particularly Todd, went above md beyond for us .

Jill United States

We LOVED the free electric bikes offered by the hotel (I think hire out for 3 hours). We used them to get around town, explore the parks, and get further than we would by walking. This was the main benefit. They also had a gym and pool- very clean. Staff were friendly. I woudl stay there again.

Jennifer United States

Breakfast was good. Hostess & servers were very courteous

John United States

Breakfast was amazingly delicious! Beds were super comfortable

Marlo United States

nice room with good view .There is no breakfast at this time because of the virus. I think there is room service but I did not use it

Louis United States

Great location of the hotel, convenient to see all the main attractions in the Harbour area (walking distance). Clean room and very helpful staff willing to advise. Parking for only $10/day is an additional incentive.

Aleksander United States

The staff was very helpful. We were grateful to get the vouchers for free drinks since our room wasn't ready. The bartender was so interested in us appreciating Portland. She provided us with worthwhile recommendations.

Nancy United States
